Mock exams!!

my mock exams started on the 4th and I got some of my results today... I got an A in chemistry, which is quite good <IMG alt="image" SRC="smile.gif" border="0"> BUT I got a C over all for science! <IMG alt="image" SRC="frown.gif" border="0"> my parents are going to kill me, they're really strict! I got a B+ in art and they weren't even happy with that... how am I meant to tell them about my science mark?!
I go to an all girls school at the moment. The sheikh (the ruler) of Dubai owns it and it's where all the rich arab girls go... it's a really good school up to GCSE level, but I'm really fed up with it now, so I wanted to move to this other school. They told me that I need all As in the subjects I want to take for my A-levels. Well, I got a C for physics, so now everything's going to go wrong! I feel like I'm living a nightmare and I want to wake up. I keep closing my eyes and then opening them again, hoping that I wake up in bed. I'd rather die than tell my parents my marks and go through what my brother went through! My mobile will be taken away and I won't be allowed to go horse riding... Instead, I'll be made to sit at the dining room table and revise all day! What am I meant to do? <IMG alt="image" SRC="frown.gif" border="0">

Anyway, good luck
...Amz
if u just say well i revised hard and did my best and i got a C, what else can they ask of you???
lots of peoples parents would be over the moon if they got a C.
Don't panic! The point of mock exams aren't to trick you but to show up your weaknesses and allow you to prepare better for the real thing.
Explain this to your parents, say you understand which areas you have been struggling with and agree that you will work at them. If they see you are being mature and level-headed about it, they are less likely to get mad.
Good Luck

so far my parents know...
Maths - A
IT - A* and C (C overall)
French - A
Arabic - A*, A, and fail (lol) - C overall
Chemistry - A
Art - B+
And they don't know...
Physics - C
Biology - D
History - C (I went through the paper with my teacher and she said that in the place where she gave me 0 out of 8, she was just trying to get my attention. She said that the examiner would have given me atleast 5 marks for the question)
I knew all the answers in the physics exam and could have easily got full marks, but I don't trust myself when I know I have to do well. I guess I just have to work on my confindence. I know what the exams will be like now though, so hopefully I'll get all A*s in my actual GCSEs <IMG alt="image" SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I went to an all girls grammar school which was a very pressured atmosphere, you were considered a failure if you got a B. It made me sick!
Mocks aren't too important really, don't let your parents get you down.
My mum says she doesn't care what I get in my A-levels really. I'm hoping to get something like ABC, but only for myself.
Dude. Thread. Dead.
Do read the rules and check the dates when posting. Please?
the best thing to do imo is just to try and think of them as a way of giving you feedback for what you need to concentrate on... in the build up for the real thing.
