I failed my two modules I've done so far which is maths and science, i did a maths resit today and think ive done OK but still got of chance of failing AGAIN. Also got science tomorrow not resit though just another one. I'm so scared that my life is going to shatter when I'm older. I desperatley want to do well but I need maths and science to get in to my sixth form and I want to go to uni. I can get 5 gcse's which is what I need but the actual subject I need I have a feeling I'm going to fail. I do revise allot and have tutors, but I don't know if I'm just plain thick. how are your gcse's going?

I'm just going into my GCSE work and I'm not sweating it :8.
Lol sorry to put you down but yeah, just talk to someone about your nerves and if you think about it even if you don't get that many, alot of famous celebrities and famous people in general only got like 1 or 2 GCSE's ;).

You have to be calm and collected, with hindsight I would say GCSEs are easy in comparison to A Level work. You need to speak to your tutor or your teachers about any concerns you have. I failed modules, I failed resits. Hey, I have 10 GCSEs! (A-C)

hahaha and the chances of me being famous are very unlikely ! Hmm, the work is harder in A level but at least you do subjects your strongest at (I'm assuming thats how you chose the subjects for A level)

True but I wouldn't worry about them pal. In fact the way we did our maths GCSE was coursework, 3 modules one final exam. I failed 2 of the 3 modules thus I only had one module so we couldn't use my modules. So I went into the final exam knowing that the 2 papers (calc and non calc) were 80% of my whole maths gcse, still passed though.

I used to go into my module exams thinking what the heck, I've I pass it I pass it, and if I fail it I'll resit it, and just got psyched up into a good mood and laughed it off afterwards :P Altogether I got a D in the overall modules score and I still got a B grade overall after my final exam. They're designed to be stressful, but just revise regularly and just keep thinking that they're only GCSE's, you've got plenty of time and there are always other routes to take if you dont get what you need, so just relax and take an hour each night to just lie back and chill :P.

I'm doing 1a or something not sure.
Yeah, but tbh there not ONLY gcse's you need them for a sixth form and my sixth form requires a C in maths english and science :(
