Ds in English, Science and food
Es in RS & History
U in ICT (I was one mark off passing)
8 C's and 2 B's
Pretty good going since I screwed up my revision by going out most nights.
Are you doing your this year?
What are you hoping for?
Haha, I was a right tramp during my GCSEs... out all the time drinking, smoking and falling asleep in alleys behind pubs and in fields. Not that I'm suggesting you were a tramp, too, or anything like that... :razz:
I got 9 As... and a D in Technology because I didn't bother doing my coursework. Gutted.
B x 2
C x 2
9 As!! obviously the alcohol didnt rot your brain as much as it did mine :razz: or maybe you were just cleverer to begin with. lol
My school lost one of my art pieces which I was gutted about. :crying:
I would have got an A I'm sure :razz:
My brain's like a sponge for both alcohol and information.. luckily!
I've heard that from other people too, sophia, but for some reason my school didn't make me drop the Tech course. Possibly because I kept assuring them I was "almost finished" with my wooden toybox when in fact it was still happily living its life as a tree
I was the oppsoite - I'd spend most weekends revising.
However, I probably did rubbish because:
*we only had 2 terms to do 2 years worth of work in English
*I was put into a mixed set for Science (I was doing Higher tier; nearly everyone else was doing Foundation) and we didn't get taught properly for ages
Sometimes i wish i had revised for them and done better like i could have, but then i realise no one really gives a toss about gcse's anyway. Ha.
5 x B
3 x C
BB in english
BC in science (the B being biology cause i can't do the rest...although my exams today went quite well)
C in maths...i want this C SO bad!
at least a B in dance
A in geography, but i've kinda screwed my first exam
B or A in food tech
C in german
C in ICT
C or if i can manage...B in history
i also realised this was a bad combination of subjects to take! I wish i'd done drama instead of dance, and media instead of history...which is aparrantly the hardest gcse there is, so i guess a C in history would look better than an A in media or something like that.
There isn't even a written paper in drama...and in dance theres a 2 hour written exam, with coursework and 3 examined performances!!
I also heard that in media they actually get to see their exam paper before! Thats what 2 of my friends who've took it were saying anyway.
and an X is bastarding technology because my school were too stupid to withdraw me from the exams.
and to some extent, ditto this comment:
GCSEs are easy peasy these days, so I've heard.
(Please note: I'm not saying they're not important, Ballerina get revising!)
Blimey! :eek:
I got 7 x A* and 3 x A
amd if you're not expected to cover 2 years worth of work in two terms...
this is true, and i've also found that once you've held down a decent job for a couple of years post-uni, nobody even cares about your degree. they're only interested in your most recent job and what you actually DO.
when i go to interviews now, barely anyone asks about my qualifications, and the ones that do bring it up more as a talking point than anything.
having said that, you do need to do the best you can at each level to make the next step easier.
but i'm only happy if i'm doing my best....yet i always feel i can improve
(some of you may remember my rant about a friend who left her history cw several months after the original deadline...then got other people to send copies of their work for her to 'look' at, and got full marks for it. I spent ages on it and, handed it in on the deadline and just scraped a B...she got an A*! gr, it still makes my blood boil!)
