Hi guys.
So I have finished my GCSEs and now I am just waiting for my results on 25th Aug.
I have been feeling quite uneasy about getting my results back. My main reason is due to finding out what I will get in English language. I found that I did struggle in the exams as English Lang is really hit or miss for me. I need to get a grade 6 for the subjects I want to do (biology chemistry and psychology). Both sixth forms that I have applied to require a 6 for English language (i only applied to 2 sixth forms). Out of the 3 mocks for English language that I have done, I have received a grade 6 before, a grade 7 before and a grade 9 before and i haven’t ever had a grade lower than a 6.
I feel afraid and worked up as I wouldn’t know at all what to do if I got a grade lower than a 6 in English. Would the sixth forms not accept me at all?!
English language is the weakest subject for me out of them all - I get quite high grades in all my other subjects (7s 8s and 9s) and I get 9s in biology and chemistry (the subjects I am taking for A-Levels).
Maths is quite high too, I got a grade 8 in my most recent mock exam.
So I continuously have this fear that I won’t be able to do my subjects at my sixth forms (which I have conditional offers from).
The grade requirement for biology and chemistry for both sixthforms is also a grade 6 and I am almost sure that I will be able to hit that target.
I really don’t want to have to miss a whole year just because I didn’t get the grade for English and I keep thinking of worst case scenarios
