Thats right, on the 24th of August we students get our GCSE results and to be honest I'm sh***ng myself and theres no kinder way to put that. So why don't you drag your shakey hands over the keyboard and vent. Maybe share your results?2010-08-16 01:28:00

I get my A level results on Thursday, I'm feeling your pain! I went through exactly the same last year too. Me and my friend took the envelope with our results in and ended walking around our town for hours, we ended up under a tree and just stared at the envelope for another good hour, then we finally plucked up the courage to open them ...and it was fine. Not AMAZING but enough to get us into sixth form.

After that you'd think I'd be fine about opening up this years envelope, but I'm even more scared. I might end up walking around for days with the envelope this time. Who knows, there's nothing we can do, so just forget about it completely until the day comes!		2010-08-16 12:56:00

Well I'm awaiting my A level results and I know I've done bad in a few maths exams so it's just a case of how many additional re-sits I'll be doing together with those maths ones.2010-08-16 16:16:00

I wouldn't worry too much if you don't get the best grades in your GCSE's. When you get to 6th Form/College and University, they seem pretty redundant. Good Luck to everyone though! 2010-08-16 16:17:00

I'm assuming you're in year 11. If that is the case, then you can't complain - We did our GCSE this year, and we're only in year 10. I get my English and Math results on the 28th, and i'm not sure about when I get the others.
Suffice to say, i'm bricking it.		2010-08-16 17:13:00

I'm not saying: "Don't try hard" or something along those lines. I mean don't get all upset and worked up if you don't get all A's and B's.		2010-08-16 17:32:00

Dunno what the tests are like over seas, but here in NY we have our own set of state tests called regents. I've already take 5 of them and I'm going to be a Sophomore this year xD. I have to take four more this year too. It's ridiculous. . . 4 maths 3 sciences 2 English 2 Social Studies 1 LOTE and a couple others you have to take in order to graduate now. . . And pass them ALL.2010-08-16 17:33:00

So your teacher actually says: "Don't try hard" and "You'd better get upset if you don't get great grades because you're screwed!"? 		2010-08-16 17:38:00

I'm in a bit of a different situation, 'cause I was predicted 10A*s, but partly that was because both of my brothers got 10A*s a couple of years ago at the same school. I knew the material when I took the exams, but I just wanted to shout at the examiner the whole way through because the exams were just dire! If I don't get the grades I'm expected, or even if I get 10 Cs, I don't really care, because I will be able to put forward hundreds of reasons to whatever potential employer I may encounter as to why GCSEs are a completely redundant way of measuring an interviewee's credentials.2010-08-16 23:06:00

I hate to burst your bubble, but... That doesn't work.

One of my friend got his A level results back recently, he failed three out of four. His parents murdered him.		2010-08-16 23:18:00

I can get through life with just 20 of those reasons, please enlighten me!

Yea, even though I got 13 (bit of a nerd I know) GCSEs last year, I am really worried about my AS results on Thursday.
At least I am meeting my friends at college and not getting them on my own! Otherwise I'd probably never pick them up!		2010-08-17 00:07:00

Hmm. More like:


Try hard, because if you fail, you're life's going down the *******

I thought the SATs and stuff were weird and totally lame (though I did end up doing quite well)

But your British stuff sounds like an even worse system. Sucks! 		2010-08-17 00:26:00

I wouldn't stress out too much. They always say that "This is the most important part of your life", and in a way, it's true. It gets you onto the next step, and then the next step up is the most important thing. Colleges usually are pretty flexible with results - a few marks shouldn't really hurt.

Anyway, by this time next year, I need to have finished my course, completed an extra 2 GCSEs (I'm now second year in College - I need more GCSE for Uni though), as well as passed my driving test. All this just for Uni - but it'll be worth it.

Think long term, and you can achieve whatever you want. Anyway, you can always resit GCSE's right?

What it boils down to is this - the government says "it's fine to leave school at 16". They don't want youths leaving school at 16 and not having anything to prove they actually did the work. In come GCSEs - a last ditch hurrah for the government to throw certificates at the steadily worsening youth. GCSEs, no biggie. I'll worry harder about my IB (A-level equivalent) results for sure.2010-08-23 23:07:00

I left school at the end of year 10 but was still put in for 2 english and 1 maths gcses. i literally have nothing to do come september , as without any predicted grades from school i wasnt able to apply for any 6th form college or any other college courses. in this economic crisis i dont really want to be added to the growing list of job seekers, especially not at 16 years old with no qualifications.
basically anything below 3 Bs tomorrow really effs me up

oh well its only like 10 hours before i open that little brown envelope...		2010-08-24 02:42:00

RIght this is what you do.

When you hear him come through the door find out if he is angry
run upstairs and find a weapon (i recommend a baseball bat or a frying pan)
Hide in your bedroom and stand on a chair behind the door
when you hear him coming up the stairs raise your weapon above your head
When he comes through the door smack him on the head
LOL @ him cursing you

Not bad, IMO. Better than what I expected, and easily enough to get into Sixth Form.		2010-08-24 12:16:00

I did my first ever GCSE exams in Year 9 a couple of weeks before I broke up for summer (yes, really. No Year 9 SATs mean they can chuck everything on use eairly, yay!), but I won't get the results until I go back in September because they're too busy talking to the Year 11's about what they'll do from here and stuff. Basically they can't be asked with us.I found the tests easy (they were both Science, my favourite subject), so I'm pretty confident.

Also, my parents also said when you're getting employed and stuff they don't care about GCSE's, all they really do is get you to A-Levels, which is/leads to something they do care about.		2010-08-24 13:56:00
