i'm so stressed for my gcses

i still have dt and fm and already i'm checking the grade boundaries everyday hoping that i could get more 9s than 8s especially for the sciences as edexcel igcse is just mean this year.

you've probably heard this a lot but honestly the difference between a 9 and an 8 is not worth being stressed over! for whatever A-levels you want to do at college it won't matter if you get an 8 or a 9 (i think further maths has the highest grade requirement, and that's usually 7), and unis don't really care, oxbridge probably care the most but they'll prioritise entrance exams and interviews anyway. so don't stress! And if someone like you who is aiming for high grades is finding them mean, the grade boundaries will probably be a bit lower anyway! best of luck xxx

wait so if I don't get a good grade in further maths will it matter?

Try your best but it doesn't mean the world.

Is an 8 in fm ok for top unis?

Obviously. Most don't do FM GCSE or FSMQ

Nooo I didn’t like physics either and now I’m so stressed about the grade boundaries this year

What board did you do?

Don’t worry everyone in my year said physics was really hard even like the top set 100% kids.

Edexcel igcse

The thing is I can accept 997 or 988 just not 888 because it feels like I can’t do triple

Triple 8 is still being able to do the subject you’re so fine. Also as I said unis won’t care between an 8 and a 9

They do a little. Obviously a 9 is better than an 8
