I don't think i've done as well as i could have - but i think i've done alright. They won't be on my CV in a few years anyway. I'll be in bournemouth when they come so if i get time i'll pop on and post them if they're good!
I didn't see the point in getting too faffed over them as they're not that important. As long as you get enough to go where you want to go next it doesn't matter. I still put alot of effort in though but i wasn't going to all the after school clubs and stuff. It annoys me when all the huge brain boxes are like ''oh my god if i don't like get 6 As and the rest Bs then i'll cry!'' and get themselves in a state.
I'm too laid back
I didn't have a results day this year, I just keep getting random certificates through the post, so I know I've passed when I see them It sucks. Never mind.
Yeah that was the same for us, I went in with my cousin last year. Our certificates were in November though. What a overly faffy thing that was :rolleyes:
College just post them onto me when they recieve them though, theres far too many people at a college to do a awards evening thank god!
Yeah, which is why i said i get my AS Levels on the 17th :P
I know what you mean about the good luck thing lucifer, but it's just a nice thing to say i suppose.
just politeness
i did ask because i had a fit of unsureness as to AS and A level being released on the same day
I'm pretty sure it is on the same day.
We had to go in and collect ours as well. We had a coffee morning thing where we had to go and collect them.
Not too thrilled about a presentation evening either - they don't half drag on! Its why i never go to the ones for dancing (which is also in december)anymore either. They just give my medals and certificates when we go back after xmas.
You get one certificate per exam board at GCSE so you might end up with several certificates.
If you fail any subjects then this is not recorded on the certificate so you can still deny that you ever took the exam in the future!
Yeah and the certificates make you look super clever... I love mine, last year when I went up to college I only had the paper I got with my results on and it had to be in all my folders BUt this year, I get to use photocopies of my certificates :hyper: I think they're brilliant, especially now I've got college ones as well.
Exam results stress
Low GCSE or SQA results

Post GCSE qualifications
Good luck y'all :thumb:
We were allowed in any time after 9am. Your results are on one bit of paper.
If you took a module in the summer, then you'd get the following:
Subject, Board, Board Series, Grade Year 11 (and some other random stuff that i can't remember)
Subject, Board, board Seres, Overall Grade
Or something like that. I can check Monday morning and post what exactly is put on the piece of paper if anyone wants me to?
Good luck!
We had to go to the 6th form common room to get ours.
We get ours delivered by post
I had to go into our main school hall, and get the results from the Deputy Headmaster. He also happened to be my Geography teacher for the two GCSE years. He went through a series of slips, and came across my name. He then showed me the slip, and showed me how I'd done in each subject. Back then, I was a far more reserved chap. I was happy, but felt uncomfortable showing it. What I say to those of you getting them is, don't be. If you feel like punching the air in happiness, go for it. Or if the results are not as good as you wanted, don't panic. It's possible to do re-sits in many of the exams in question, so it's not the end of the world if things go wrong.
Just go in with your heads held high, and your fingers crossed. Mine will certainly be crossed for you on that morning. In theory, you could contact the exam boards in question and see what they say about it. They'll all got websites and are easily contactable. I'm not sure, however, that as a postgraduate student, you would have any need for your GCSE certificates. I never collected mine, and I have never been asked to show them.
