GCSE Results

Must be quite a few of us on here getting them tomorrow, 10am in the school theatre for me Doesn't seem long ago I was sitting in there doing the exams.

So, predicted/expected grades?

I've already got my A in BTEC sport so a C (atleast) in English is all I need to get on the sport course I want to do at college.

Good luck for tomorrow everyone

Load of wank.

That is all.

Why though?

Nobody likes exams.

Does your extra hate for them come from bad results?

I need 7 A's to C's to get into my schools sixth form.

Nah I actually did really well in my GCSE's, they're just useless. You get yourself all worked up about them and then they're never mentioned again

Think you'll get them?

But you need to do pretty well in them to get into college/Sixth form (if that's what you want to do)

You just need to scrape through, theres no difference between an A and a C though, that's the point, they make doing the bare minimum acceptable.

I'm with Sean, GCSE's are pointless. To get into any college by me all you needed was a pulse. The GCSE's required were so easy. Then once you get there, no one cares about them anymore.

To an extent A-Levels are the same. No one talks about them at Uni. However they can actually change the Uni you go to, so are important in that sense. Although the Uni's are only important for their name. A first at Oxford is exactly the same as a first from anywhere else, except for the fact that 'from Oxford' is included after it.

Shitting myself.

idgaf what Sean says.

I actually did pretty poorly in my GCSEs,I was only in the top 10% in my year. Saying that, I only needed them for about 3 hours until I enrolled in my college. At college I got more top grades than I did at GCSE

I'm still worried though

What did you get if you don't mind me asking?

1 A*, 2 As, 4 Bs, 4 Cs. Highly disappointing.

Sean it depends what college you want to go to. Some will require better grades. Mine want 5 Bs, so if I get Cs (still a decent grade and a pass), I'm not getting into what I want to take.

And think they're rubbish all you want, I want the highest grades possible.

Can anybody else get their maths results online tomorrow?

Don't really see the point when you have to go into school to get the rest anyway

Im just bitter that I did so well in them and they meant nothing

I'm just annoyed that I have to get up before 12 tomorrow.

Hopefully I can get Deus ex from one of my parents if I do well

Something a lot of people don't realise is that any grade other than a U, even an F, is a pass, not just A*-C.

No. we just stay in our normal school.

Consitent low grades such as F in your GCSEs though is unlikely to get you into the college of your choice though.

Sean, wish our school had a 6th form. Where you guaranteed a place no matter what results?

Yeah, but most schools and Colleges have a boundry of A*-C or B's etc.

Most colleges ask for 5 A*-C grades to get in.

No

Then stop being such a mardy bum.

What Sean's saying is that for most people you don't have to worry about getting in.

I needed 7 C's so I didn't even bother with them, I knew I'd get 7 C's easily with no revision and then they would no longer matter.
