GCSEs...I was kinda expecting the grades that I got (7A* 2A to start with) but not in the subjects I got them in. Was hoping for A*s in 3 sciences, maths, French, Latin, As in the Englishs and RS could've been anything. Wasn't shocked by the A in Bio, but I was disappointed, and I was pretty shocked with the A* in RS as I thought the exam went badly. A* in English...was pleasing, but I thought the exam went well.
As for AS, I was shocked at how high my Economics mark was, especially the full UMS in the 1st module. Especially surprised at the fact it was my 2nd highest of the 4. Maths...not surprised it was my highest, though I know I could've done even better (don't get my wrong, I'm not disappointed with my marks!). Biology, about what I expected, Chem...was hoping for higher UMS, but nevermind. So not much shocking stuff, but hey.
And now I probably sound really arrogant for not being shocked at getting straight As at AS and mostly A*s at GCSE...and maybe I am.
