Yatesyz Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Post here if you're getting your results on the 21st of August. Are you looking forward to it or nervous? I'm a bit of both because I need at least 5 A-C's but am looking forward to it because I put loads of effort in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kewfmwpj Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I am, however only maths as I took it a year early. I'm expected to get an A which I was getting in practice papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I need at least 5 A-C's Having a bubble? GCSEs are easy as pie. I myself have the equivalent to about 17 of em spread out over 11 GCSEs and 2 BTECs (Aviation (worth 2) and Public Services (worth 4)). Mostly Bs, a fair few As and 1 C. I was lazy at GCSE anyway. A-level results were much better. Good luck though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutboy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Im getting my results fro my maths exam thats worth 30% i think. It was data handling and very easy but i think i messed up at the ned so i might get a B so i might have to retake it. On the bright side im 15 in 50 minutes! (im taking it a year early too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(im taking it a year early too) You were meant to say 49minutes. Maths = Fail! Bad grammar and spelling, I can see. English = Fail! Only joking. I got an A in English (good at original writing; as always ), A in Geography and a B in P.E Theory when I took my mocks. So I hope I get the same for the proper; and apparently the mocks are actually harder. Additionally, I use to get straight Cs (and few Bs) in Science, but since this crappy new teacher [jerk], I've been slipping into a D. Oh well; as long as I can take I.T Computing one day (for games design/programming). Also, I was hitting a distinction 'back in the day' (equivalent to an A) in I.T, but it's now a C (pass) due to us getting new teachers (4 in total!) who, either don't know what they're doing or reveal that we have more work we haven't been told about (which pretty much screws up my chances of doing I.T Computing this year ).

I'll wake up Thursday morning and go "Holy sh*t" but right now, it's the last thing on my mind. Hoping for 2 A's (I get £100 for every A) then I've got cash for Reading next year.

gamesguru Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 What's this about getting money for As! Is this only certain places, or have some people higher up been hiding something from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I got nothing for school work. Amen. Isn't the idea that you do the exams for yourselves, ya know, your futures and everything? Irritatingly, at £100/A grade, I'd have been over a grand up. Good luck and stuff though. Then you have the joys of A-Levels to look forward to. adam broke it.

dills Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I got nothing for school work. And what results did you end up with? Neither did I and I got 5 A*'s 4 A's and 2 B's, money now doesn't motivate me, I'm more interested in working hard so I can have a bright future.

The Unvirginiser Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Don't worry about them lads, worrying won't change the results, there isn't much you can do now.. So don't worry, be happy It isn't the end of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutboy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Im taking all the compulsory subjects plus triple sciences,IT and RS and french(anguage college) I wish i was getting payed for As. I hope to get As and A*s for all except english where a B will be fineand frech where I just want to pass cause that subject gives me nightmares. Im barely working at a D level... English is nothing but deconstructing poetry crap and essays which ae hard as hell. My teacher can find the meaning of life from2 sentences. As for essays I recently spent hours working my but off and only scraped a C... But the others are ok right now. (1 min left till my bday...)

Mark Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Aye I never got it why people got rewards for schoolwork. My mate got bought a car for passing his GCSEs with worse grades than me, I got..well, nothing, as it should be. That £100 or so quid don't mean sh*t in the long run, getting the grades in the 1st place is what matters. For my A-levels I really did get sweet FA as I got my results around the same time as my birthday but as I was in the sh*t for going off the rail at my parents I didn't even get a card from em. f*ck this reward sh*t. On the other hand my reward was getting onto a Masters at Loughborough University, which I stuck at for...a term. Uni ain't for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp_60cent Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Spoiled kids. lucky that you get cash for A's and sh*t. I've never gotten rewards when I gotten good grades in the past. As a matter of fact I got sh*t taken away and my ass kicked if I did the opposite (Ds and Fs). Money doesn't motivate to get good grades. What motivates me to get good grades is to go the uni of my dreams and maybe get a scholarship like my older bro did in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie280 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I got sh*t all for my GCSEs and I was expecting the same. But with no time or energy wasted on Revision I got 1A* 7As and a B. I know the build up to getting your results is scary but honestly, once you get them and you see how much better your results are than what you were expecting you will realise that GCSEs are big load of bollocks. And to all of you who actually put effort into revision, you have nothing to worry about, you will do brilliantly and get the results you deserve, looking back I wish I had made that effort, who knows what I could have achieved? So yeah, I know it seems scary now, but come Thursday, you will see what we mean and it will all be over by 10am, leaving you the rest of the day to get pissed. Good luck.

Deuce Deuce Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I need at least 4 A-C's in order to get official entry into the college I wanna get into, but I'm not sure that I will. Anyone taking a gap year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockstarFan Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm getting a bit more nervous. I mean, its tomorrow I dont think I'm getting anything if I pass and I dont care really. I'll just be extremely happy if I passed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanillainy Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I wasn't really nervous or anything untill today, guess its just becasue its tommorow. But I already have 3 C's in Maths, ICT and Science. I need one more, preferably in English so then I will only need to do 4 days a week at college. If not I have to do English on Fridays at college. Doubt I did though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal40000 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 so how much effort did you guys put into your coursework ? (like the english: reading and writing, speakign and listening etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBillyB Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Good luck all with ur GCSE results. i remeber when i had mine, i was Crapping myself when i went up to the school, but i passed with 1A 3Bs 7Cs and a D, but that was like 6 years ago... just remeber its not the end of the day if you get horrible results, you can always retake them, keep your chin up and smile, and good luck with it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kippers Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I ended up with a Wii for getting 2 A's and the rest B's for my GCSEs. The thing is i didn't even know I'd get one or particularly gave a reward much of a thought until my dad asked what I wanted. Which is funny becuase it wasn't used as a tool of motivation, so i'm with the old kids on this one 習うより慣れろ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyLeone25 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 When I finished my GCSE's, I think I came out with virtually all B Grades, and what reward did my father bestow upon me? A clip round the ear and a great bit of motivational speaking along the lines of "if you get fecking results like this next year, the clip will be a lot harder to knock some sense into you, you should be getting all the top grades, you see in my day *enter rambling story about my fathers GCE's here* so that's why you'd better bleeding do well." Best motivational speech ever made. It hit me hard... Anyway, good luck on all those doing GCSE's, and if you don't get what you set out to obtain it isn't the end of the world. You can resit your GCSE's the following year while in College/Sixth Form or in your spare time if you don't wish to stay on at an educational establishment. Also GCSE's are basically a dry-run to get you ready for the real exams in AS/A-Levels, so if you do badly due to regulated lazy-ness, give yourself a good kick up the arse and get ready to work your arse off next year, because it'll be worth it in the long run.

lloydo Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I got my A-Levels last Friday, took about four days interpretating what the f*ck they meant. All good though, first time in my life i got an A! Boo-YAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yatesyz Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 so how much effort did you guys put into your coursework ? (like the english: reading and writing, speakign and listening etc). I did average in my English coursework, getting mostly B's and the occasional C, but in other subjects I got mostly A's. It took some strain off the exams, especially electronics as the coursework was worth 60% and I got an A in it. I'm quite looking forward to getting the results now, and thanks for the good luck's.

Aye. Even in a sh*tty untrained job, if you've got A-levels, they basically ignore your GCSEs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
