Exam results

[Z]

So for us Scots, they come in on the 5th of August. Hands up if you're scared!?

What is it that makes exam results so scary?

Personally, I think it's the fear of the unknown combined with the fear of failure, but on the other hand I'm also scared by the future and the whole process of choosing some kind of path for myself in life once these exam results are in. The next chapter of my life will begin in 4 days time, if you will. So in that respect, I am scared of what the future may or may not hold for me!

[sol]

Good luck! Exam results aren't everything.

[Fom]

Good luck you scottish lot :) Im sure you wont need it, make sure you let us know how you have done and all that jazz.

Yes, always looking on the bright side, me. :tongue:

[Billy]

Im so nervous :(
If I do crap though I'm gonna leave, cos theres no point staying on if Im gonna have to to Int2.

[MarkWaldorf]

I just know I failed some.

Well I went for 4 Highers and an Int2 this year, the Int2 being in Maths, and that was an utter cakewalk, makes me wish I'd gone for the full five. I'm kind of hoping to go to uni, so I hope I've done really well because an Int 2 A is the equivalent of a Higher D. Meh. Without sounding arrogant, I'm hoping for maybe 3As and 2Bs. You never know with English, sometimes I think I did brilliantly and I do rubbish in Close Readings, and other times I'm pleasantly surprised.
Here's hoping it all went OK! Which subjects did you do this year Billy?

[MarkWaldorf]

Oh wait...is this a thread for the Scottish?
*leaves embarrassed*

Not especially, I think English results are on the 14th right? Only 9 days after ours, so it's not like this is exclusive :laugh:

Let's all panic together.

[Billy]

Well for fourth year I done:
Maths
English
French
History
H.E
Admin
Business Management
Biology

for 5th year I done:
Higher French
Higher H.E
Int 2 English
Int 2 Maths
Higher Photography

But If I fail my Standard Grade H.E and French exam then Ill have to do Int2 in 5th year, and if that's the case I'm leaving cos Im not staying till 6th year to attempt a higher lol.

Yeah. Well there were a lot of people I knew of who got a mixture of 1s, 2s and 3s, and I think most of them decided to stay on for 5th year and seemed to have coped alright. I dunno if it'd be worth your while if you were getting mostly grades that were below a 3, but that decision's entirely up to you, obviously. I really enjoyed Higher French this year, though the speaking test was a bit of a killer, I did end up getting full marks on it (booyaaah) so it really depends on whether or not you think you'll enjoy the subjects.

Good luck! I remember last year posting my results on here, seems like a lifetime away!

[Billy]

Thanks :D French is teh only one I dont like atm, well that, and English. We have to memorise to essays :| And do this thing Personal Study and its rubbish :(
I think ill get mixture of 2s and 3s tbh.

Well you'd be OK for 5th year I'd think, if you get the 2s in the subjects you're continuing with in 5th year then you'd be OK!

Oh god I'm so glad I never have to do English again. I did the Da Vinci Code for my 4th year PSU :laugh: it went alright, passed first time. I passed my 5th year one first time round (just, according to my teacher!) but shmeh a pass is a pass. Seriously though English is such a negative subject, it's the only subject that marks negatively (i.e. on your essays, you start with 25/25 and they take marks off for how rubbish your essay is.)

My brother has his then.

[Z]

Yeah it must be A-Levels in that case, my friend said hers were on the 14th and I know she's doing A-Levels. I thought all were out on the 14th, my bad!

Ooft, nervous yet Laura? I only started getting nervous the other day really, I'm not properly panicking yet though. Just wait 'til tomorrow night.. haha!

Haha! That's brilliant! I got forced into doing a book called The Color Purple. It was really hard to read, 'cause it's written in a Southern American dialect, so you have to read aloud to fully understand everything - that made me look really dumb! Higher English Close Readings were so hard to begin with, I only got the hang of it a few weeks before the exam... Timing, I know. My friend did Int 2 English, he said it was a lot easier to understand than Standard Grade!

[Ross]

Interesting idea for a new topic though; have you ever worn a kilt like a "true Scotsman" before?

Roughly, though it's not exactly the same. 7 is a fail, and then I'd say 3/4 would be equivalent of a C? Not too sure really.

Its my last one though if I still decide not to go to Uni :joker: (been flipping between the two after months of "I refuse to go")

[Bells]

Thanks so much Laura & Bex. :hug:

Tom, I'm in a similar position really - tomorrow basically decides my fate... do I go to uni this year either through clearing or otherwise, do I take a gap year and reapply for a course I'm interested in (and do other things in the meantime), or go straight into a job? I just want to know and don't at the same time! Mainly because I've already accepted my fate: that I haven't done too well.

[Marc]

All the best for everyone tomorrow... especially those who are hoping to get into University :thumbs:
