    :(

    Me too.

    But now I don't know whether I still want to do English at uni, whether I want to go to uni this year (that is if I get in!) - argh.

    Oh I don't know anymore.

    I'll get my GCSE results next August and I'm very scared. Though I suppose they are nothing compared to A-Levels.

    I remember my results day, i'd not done a single minute of revision still came away with 6 B's a D and Two A's :D

    A levels wern't as scary i found, and then University is great as you sort of always know where you are with things

    I wish I was getting my gcse results again.

    What a piece of piss compared to A-levels.

    I get my A-level results next thursday and my brother gets his gcse results the thursday after. But then he gets to go to Leeds festival and forget about it all whilst I have to sort my life out. Bastard.

    How are you guys going to open your results? Right there and then or wait a bit? Personally I'm going to get them and have them in my pocket for a couple of hours before opening them I think.

    Get the envelope, throw up some more, drink some vodka, walk upto one of the fields and find a secluded place far away from anyone.

    Wait a bit, muster up the courage to open them.

    Open them.

    Cry. Throw up again. Scream. Roll around in the dirt, vomit and vodka.

    Walk home and make people stare at me with pity. "ah, I think she failed."

    Get home, cry to my parents, phone my grandma and remind her she now owes me £5.

    Go upto my bedroom and stay there for 5 days until I bleed myself dry of tears.

    :yes:

    i do English, History and Business, and ive got good reason to suspect that ive failed because i failed my first year at 6th form, and got Es and Ds in my AS levels, so im just hoping for the best :)

    :lol: I'm such a drama queen.

    I haven't yet chosen my weapon of destruction. Not my favourite sambuca as I don't want to associate it with bad times.

    But admidst all the negativity and panic:

    If little letters on a piece of paper are your biggest worry - you don't have much to worry about. :D

    Worse could happen. We'll be fine.

    I'm not posting my failure here though, I don't want to feel even more stupid. Unless I get my predicted grades :lol: Which is so not happening.

    already got mine *puts smug uni face on*

    and at my uni 2nd year marks count towards your final degree grade.


    i didn't get nervous before any of my results. you've done the exams, worrying your arse off now won't change anything.

    what's the worst that could happen? you fail them all and have to resit? i resat a whole year just for one subject and i had the best time of my life.

    OK instead of people posting how worried they are why not post some useful info like proper Exam Techniques?

    Many people screw up their exams NOT because they don't know the answers but they put them across in the wrong way and lose valuable points?

    My best advice is if you don't immediately know the answer to a question - skip it , go on to the next and when you've got to the end go back over the ones you missed.

    Also get a good quality pen - it will make your hand less tired when writing and allow you to write faster.

    And if there happen to be any female teachers in here who oversee exams - how about NOT wearing high heels on the day of the exam - that used to drive me crazy .. TAP .. TAP .. TAP .. as they walk past you on the hard wooden floor.

    The Scottish results all arrive on Tuesday. I know I'm going to be disappointed, but I can't force myself to think that I may not do well, instead I just have this vague hope that I might get lucky. *sighs*

    Highers were hellish.

    now that's cruel... that would just make me worry about what i'd done in my exam all over again.

    just concentrate on the massive celebrations you have when you're sorted and into uni :D

    Really? I found them easier than GCSEs. All to their own, I guess.

    I get my results on the 14th, but I'm quite positive I'll pass. If they let go ONE little slip, that is ;).

    GCSE Results day: August 21st.

    I'm pretty confident that I've got at least a C in everything. I worked my ass off. If not, then I'll take German GCSE during my ASs. I can speak more of it than my friend that took the exam :rolleyes:.

    I really don't care, not gonna stress myself out over it all, at the end of the day your life isn't over if you don't pass so why worry?!

    Just relax everyone, you'll all do fine :yes:

    Easier than GCSEs?! My standard grades were relatively easy for me, but nothing could have prepared me for the Higher year. How many did you do? And how come you don't get your results til the 14th?

    My AS level results come out on thursday 14th and i've been dreading them for the past 2 weeks!

    I thought i'd be less worried than when I was waiting for my GCSEs because this'll be the second time getting results but i've got a gut feeling i've cocked them up badly because my exams were all essay based so you never really know how they went!

    :yes:

    Definitely, in my A-level exams we had this outside invigilator who used to be an art teacher when I was in the first year. Anyway, she was such a bitch - I'm sorry she was - she'd say stuff before the exam like "You all know the rules for these exams so I sincerely hope none of you are found to have broken them." in a threatening voice. She'd take people's drinking water off them and goosestep around the hall in high heels - worst was when she went up the stairs and onto the stage which were hollow so it echoed round.

    On topic - There's no point stressing because as kaffrin said what's done is done. I just hope we don't have a repeat of the dodgy marking fiasco of last year which we could all really do without - it's such a pain in the arse (understatement) happened to me in my January modules when my Politics exam wasn't marked properly and I got a C in that module I resat that exam this time. As long as I get my ABB to get me in my course I don't care if it's higher or the same as that as long as I get it. Good luck to everyone out there. :)
