***Official GCSE Results Thread***

Sense of perspective needed. Those results will get you onto anything.

They don't get me a new pc though

 

[Nitefly]

No, it's below what I expected. Far below what I expected. I'm gutted

I have been in the possition of being very close to what I ideally wanted before and it isn't great, so on that level I do sympathise. However, the reality is that relatively few people will have achieved what you have and it is a very impressive set of grades that will look great on any application.

"13 GCSEs - grades A*-A"

Sounds brilliant. Go and celebrate

lol

 

[Nitefly]

You should not be so hard on yourself. They are very good grades and by the time you finish university they will mean nothing.

That's not necessarily true.

EDIT - triple post fail

 

[TheCenturion]

Dude, hope you still get that new PC. Would be harsh not to give one.

Also the marginal benefit of doing any better is non existent. Just let it be.

A deal's a deal. I fell below the bar. No new pc.

 

[TheCenturion]

Has no one else got their grades yet?

 

[Skillmister]

Just make sure you work your ass off in a levels regardless of gcse results. I got a mixture of As and Bs without putting effort in at gcse only to carry on not working and getting 3 Ds at a level

 

[PGdude]

Do you guys even know how many things I broke when I only got 3A*s and 7As? I flipped out for a week.


It does make a difference. Some Universities judge an individual on the ratio of A*s they get at GCSE.


And I keep telling myself that I should have tried harder these past 4 years.



But hey no rest for the wicked, gotta keep moving on, even if you find yourself in a bit of a rut or somewhat disappointed, that's a message to all you younguns getting your GCSE results

I suggest we lock this thread before other 16 year olds come in and see anant disappointed at his results, thereby making them feel worse.

 

[Creelers]

I got 7 As and 2 Bs.

I'm happy with them.

No, if you're happy with your grades, then there's no problem. As long as your results matched your expectations. In my case, they did not.

Oh dear...

Considering I didn't get a single A* and got offers from all 6 redbrick universities I applied to, I personally find that quite hard to believe. Then again, I did go to an utterly bum school.

Well done.

If you're happy, then they're good results. Well done buddy

 

[Creelers]

Well done.

Thanks.

Well done to everyone else who got good results or what they wanted.

If you're happy, then they're good results. Well done buddy

Thanks.

[Mailman86]

I'm so glad I actually get paid to do work now and I have none of these silly exams to take either.

 

[Peter_C]

Got A in additional Maths and A*/100 UMS in all the B2/C2/P2 modules.

Quite happy, considering I lost at least 4 marks in the biology test just because I didn't read a question carefully...

And my maths teacher told me I got the highest Add. Maths mark in the school, taking it a year earlier than everyone else.

Good luck to anyone who hasn't got their results left.

Now it's time for the real GCSE year...

 

[jonislost]

Sheesh, this thread makes my results look absolutely disgustingly bad! Never really hindered me 6 years on though

Well done all!
