Results Day 2014

[Matthew]

Its fast approaching once again!

How are you feeling? Confident? Nervous?

[Jssy]

HxSS is masking my fear. I did do 4 hours of revision a day though, but I'm only waiting on AS results not A2

[Drewar]

We don't have a "Results Day" in Canada, and I already have finished Uni... so I'm feeling great, tbh :p

I imagine if there was such thing as "Results" day in Canada that I would be a basket case of stress, though. I get extremely anxious when it comes to academics.

[Absently]

I got my results last month and I couldn't have been happier! Good luck to anyone receiving them :) x

[Kardan]

I got my Uni results last month - A-Level results seems like such a long time ago now. Good luck all.

[Circadia]

Slightly nervous because I think I've done terrible due to family problems for the past year so I dunno but it's only AS results so it's not that bad

[Sharon]

I didn't go to school for the last 2 month or so because of my own issues so I ****** up in terms of any revision and I didn't do any revision at home either because I just couldn't so my results will be interesting because it shows how smart I actually because I did no revision lol

and I basically slept through and over thought about my own problems in the exams then realised half way though the time it's actually an exam lol sooooo ****** tbh none of my family really know this either

Doesnt scare me though I don't really care because I'm C confident on everything so who cares still gonna get into college lol

[lemons]

ugh I WISH IT WAS GCSE RESULTS AGAIN

[Rainbow]

really nervous cry i get mine in 2 daysss:(

[geo]

feel sick thinking about it... so i try my best not to

it's AS results but i really do want to go to a certain uni and if i haven't done well (which i don't think i have) then it'll suck

my 2 best subjects (strengths wise) seemed to be the worst exams

[james,]

got my results a few years ago, but good luck everyone!

[CrazyLemurs]

Mine are GCSE so I don't get them for another 9 days, but I seem to be the only one happy with things. Some bits of coursework went a lot better than I expected and the exams weren't impossible, so I could be surprised by some subjects. Did originally want all A and A* but my foreign-trained business teacher had almost no knowledge of how to mark properly so I'm already on a B for that. Otherwise hopefully should go really well

(dnt h8 cos ur jel)

[Kyle]

nobody cares about your results in the real world sorry folks

good luck though

[e5]

I remember results day, really didn't bother me. Think I was in Tenerife when they came out lol :P

[!:random!:!]

well am fine ;) i don't get mine till next year but my boyfriend is picking up his a-levels and he is nervous so am going with him

[Matt]

I do my exams in November and get my results on 29th December!

Goodluck to everyone getting theirs within the next few weeks :)

I'm pretty relaxed about my a level results too :)

feel sorry for people who are worrying themselves to death :(

[CrazyLemurs]

Definitely, I hate worrying about school because I think it's one of the most excruciating. I worry about money instead lol

[lRhyss]

Good luck for tomorrow everyone!

I'm sure you've all done great :D

[lemons]

accidentally came across grade boundaries for tomorrows results lmfao what a disaster

[Sian]

nobody cares about your results in the real world sorry folks

good luck though

Every job I've applied for (apart from shops) have repeatedly made sure I had atleast 5 gcses and higher qualifications. So I'm afraid they do count in the real world :p.

Though who knows when I'll next have results. Graduated last year...

they care that you have GCSEs, not what results they were so long as they are Cs or above :P

[Jssy]

im actually really nervous for tomorrow b.c i did my a-levels a year late I'm 18 so I can't resit this year

[geo]

accidentally came across grade boundaries for tomorrows results lmfao what a disaster

ugh i can't remember subject exam boards so i can't even check. pretty sure i've done quite badly anyway

ughh

[Yupt]

Best of luck to all of you getting your results tomorrow. I remember absolutely bricking myself this time last year, probably didn't help when I locked myself out of ucas on results day morning - oops!

Hope you all get what you need!!

[Matthew]

Best of luck everyone!

[lawrawrrr]

My sister's getting her A Level results and I'm more worried about that 'cos she's gonna be devastated if she doesn't get in :(

[Inseriousity.]

Good luck to everyone getting results. So glad I don't have to do that anymore :D

[Mark]

Best of luck everyone! What unis is everyone going/applied to and what course?

[The Don]

Good luck everybody! Not too long until you all find out now!

[-:Undertaker:-]

Goodluck to all, I am out in town tomorrow night too so it should be good with it being results night and all that.

[CrazyLemurs]

aww abi it's alright to not have done as well as you expected; everybody misses the mark sometime or another! don't be fooled into thinking you haven't got any alternatives to what you had intended. lower grades than you expected /=/ bad grades x

[Matthew]

Off to KPMG and Durham!

Got A*ABB though one of those Bs i'm shocked by.. my whole school basically dropped 1/2 grades in history so they're all getting remarked. My teacher was frankly disgusted by the results.. Its meant one of my friends has missed her oxford offer for History too so hopefully for her sake there has been a mistake as everyone seems to think there has! I'm gutted for her, she was distraught :'(

Well done to everyone!

congrats and oh no not a b and meh look on the bright side,even if she doesn't get oxford she will still get a good uni, my first choice uni ended up being crap even tho it's one of the olds ones so i dropped out for a different more modern uni n so glad i did

Roxy; don't downgrade to stay in a uni u like, go for a course ur gonna enjoy.

[Matthew]

yeah I know it looks proper snobby of me to be gutted about a B but seriously I'm shocked! As I said everyone in the class (or two classes) dropped at least one grade from what they were expecting so something is clearly up! I am seriously gutted for the girl that missed the oxford offer though, seriously she knows EVERYTHING about history or so it seems haha. She got an 'M1' (the equivalent of a high B at A level) when she was expecting at the very least a 'D3' (an A) but tbh everyone expected her to get a 'D2' (an A*) or even a D1 (God-status). I'm not sure what her back up is but she really deserves to get into Oxford, her results bar the history hiccup were outstanding but her offer as it was for history specified that she needed a D3 in it (I think it was a D3 anyway).

But yeah hopefully I'll get some good news in a few weeks time, not sure how long it takes!

[buttons]

yea i kno am kidding, id be pissed if i worked rly hard n didnt get what i want. i got a's in my highers n advanced highers but now in uni im happy with a B lmao
i feel soz for u english tho cause exams and results are so important to u. it wasn't to the majority of people when we were doing exams. everyone just wanted to drop out after gcse..

[Inseriousity.]

My Religious Studies exam was like that. was on course for a B but cos of 1 exam everyone dropped down a grade. even more annoying cos there were 2 modules that year where I got an A in the first 1 and an E in the 2nd so it just proves a dodgy exam can ruin things.

Well done to everyone who got into uni and well done to everyone who didn't get the grades/in the uni they wanted (because there are still lots of possibilities you can do) :D

[lemons]

im so annoyed with my geography result!

i got a B for the exam which was worth 70% and a U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for the 30% exam so overall C! so confused uGh

[!:random!:!]

weldone to all! i hope you all enjoy your uni's and to those who didn't get the grades they want its not end of the world either re-sit your exams or choose a diff uni! my bf got D U E in his A-levels (first year)

D- buisness
U- physics
E- ict

[Samantha]

Congratulations everyone! My sister got her results, she was there at 7am and everything, she's going to Huddersfield and managed to get an A, B, C which she wasn't expecting so she's very happy :P. Although she keeps going "I'm moving out in a month." It's a bit too soon for our mum to handle ;).

[kfc]

IM GOIN TO UNI

[The Don]

Congratulations Everyone! And to those that didn't do as well as they had hoped remember it's not the end of the world and there's no point dwelling on and comparing your results to everyone else's! Sure, it's going to take a little bit longer to get where you're aiming, but what's an extra 12 months compared to the rest of your life? You know where you need to improve and now you can really focus on getting those desired grades.

ive cried.. A lot, worst results I've ever got

You said they're only AS results right? If so, you've got plenty of time to turn it around, and even if not there's still plenty of options.

Me and Char wanted to both do the same course at Uni, Mathematics. I got AABB in my A-Level results, Charlotte got something like CCD. She was obviously distraught, but she still got a place at a Uni (one that accepted her grades) and I went off to my first choice Uni.

But just like everything else, A-Level results go out the window at Uni. I only got a 2:1, but she got a first, so look who is laughing now :P

[geo]

AS Results back today and i'm honestly so so happy with them!!!! :)

film - A - soooooooooo shocked wtf my exam was awful

media - B - happy but gonna redo the exam module as i got a D in the exam (apparently everyone did crap so its gonna be reviewed) and 96/100 in cw

sociology - B - 4 off an A so gonna work my butt off to get that up next yr

psychology - D - i was expecting a U, and seeing that i was so close to a C was amazing. was prepared for complete failure in this and i think my teachers were too.

hopefully if i continue to work hard next year i can get it to AAB or AAA (wishful thinking) and get into the uni i really want to go to

[Jssy]

i wanna do midwifery which im applying for 2015 entry and honestly my grades seem awful but im happy because my whole philosophy class didnt get higher than a D so its not just me. woman at sixth form said they're all classed as passes even tho I hate the D's and that I'd done 5 rather than 3, which in itself wasnt the best idea lmao

media - b (woop we called our production company U Grade productions as we though our coursework was crap, we all got B's on our cw in my group and I got the highest mark)

english - c (got a U on my mock so will wave this in my english teachers face wooo)

travel and tourism - c (got a D n the exam but B in both coursework, I actually thought I got top marks on the exam)

Philosophy and ethics - D, no surprise really. my teacher was teaching us from a revision guide

Sociology - D very surprised. Got an E on one paper and C on the other. Was meant to be self teaching this for A2 but doubt it now tbh

[CrazyLemurs]

You COULD ask the school about the extenuating circumstances policy. You could get like 3% on each exam if you tell them your situation. I hope to get 5% on each for mine lol; would bump me up to like 7-8A*s

[lawrawrrr]

ok so I have a question for GCSE people. I see people getting merits and distinctions but I've only ever seen A*-G grades (and U) so what's that about?

I'm like in charge of doing all the results pages on our newspaper so I have to read through tons of results :(

everyone's seem to be pretty good on here though so well done1!!

Do you mean what do Pass, Merit and Distinction stand for?

Pass = C
Merit = B
Distinction = A
Distinction* = A*

If that's what you mean, if not please ignore me :P. I think they're generally used in BTEC courses.

[hairpins]

well dun shaz!!!!!!!! every1 dun so well :]

[CrazyLemurs]

those word-y grades are used in btec and some applied subjects that aren't technically gcse. the qualifications are the same level as gcse I think (level 1 for foundation, 2 for higher) so award the same amount of points for things. not sure if they are directly relatable to gcse grades, but sam's suggestion is pretty close. had friends getting those grades in subjects like btec sport, applied ict etc.

I've been graded distinction and merit in some external maths competitions; they're a substitute for typical grades.

[Sharon]

well dun shaz!!!!!!!! every1 dun so well :]

thank you xxxx

[Zak]

Congratulations on your results everyone.

I hope everyone received results that they were happy with :).
