The GCSE Thread

[*mazedsalv**]

I got in the exam, was feeling okay, i realised that the questions were hard, then i got to the last 5 pages.... and we did not learn any of the questions!!!! I remember my teacher saying to me "That wont come up, thats why i didnt teach you it" and it was in the last 8 questions worth about 50 of the overall 100 marks!!!!!! It was horrible!!!!! :bawling:

All the people in my set came out really pissed off.... our teacher is an idiot and so is the Maths exam board!!! It was IMPOSSIBLE!!!! Im going to cry!! I predict I got an F.... no joking around!!!

[bronaaaa]

:hug:
Silly teacher :nono:

[bluehill]

well i failed my driving test today:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

[Noel]

Aww no that's horrible!
Don't be so negative though! You never know, chances are if you found it really difficult, so did everyone else, and then the grade boundaries will be brought down. I thought I was going to get an F in my Maths last year, and did extremely well, so don't write yourself off just yet. :)

[MarkWaldorf]

Did you do coursework for the subject? Don't worry, the C/W grade should bump up your overall grade. Just don't worry about it!

[beanny]

Im sure, if the paper is hard, then the grade boundaries are low. I seem to remember it being like that when I did GCSE's.
Im sure you did better than you think :thumbs:

...and sorry to hear that.
I passed 2nd time, it means you can have more lessons to get even better.

Good luck for next time :wink:

[*mazedsalv**]

They dont do cwk for Maths anymore, thats the reason why i will fail, im good at cwk but crap at exams and Maths in 100% exam.

I mean it was REALLY difficult, i was almost crying!!! I really wanted to have an outburst in the exam hall...the invigialator smiled at me at the end of the exam and i gave her the dirtiest look so she looked away all serious, i think she got that i was pissed!

[CiaraD]

aww don't worry about it.
everyone else probably thought it was hard to and you always do better then you think.

[Fom]

I felt horrible after all my exams, they always feel like this. I ended up getting a B after feeling like this so don't panic too much yet.

[ILoveTRW]

I got 463 out of 470 in my maths GCSE, it the only subject that i do well in :bigsmile:

[Noel]

It seems you're not the only one who found the exam hard..

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090518082813AA1nRcH

So the grade boundaries will no doubtedly be very low.

Wooo im glad it wasnt just our year then!!!

[Conzors]

I was alright untill the histrogram question.

From them i sucked. lol.

[Corkie]

Yeh I had it. Was VERY hard!!!!

Hopefully grade boundaries will be lower.

I had R.E as well today (Which was ok.)

English Lit tomorrow and Biology wednesday :bawling:

[Conzors]

Yeh eng lit tomorrow :(

Of mice and men and poetry.

[MR.K!]

There was a Facebook group last year telling everyone not to revise and they'll lower the grade boundaries. Must have worked, I got straight A's in my A Levels ... me!! :joker:

Salv it'll be fine anyway, colleges only look for 5 across the board anyway and if you have to do it again and might be able to move up a tier if you aren't doing higher ... or am I just showing my age here with the Intermediate paper? :blush2:

[SiaSiaSia]

aww I would say it doesn't matter but it kinda does with Maths :(
you might've done better than you think - or you retake next year?

[Corkie]

They don't do Intermediate paper anymore. Just Higher and Foundation which is a bit of a piss take.

[*mazedsalv**]

Omg me too!! The historgram was the first one i was like "A who?? whats a histogram??" and then ALL the ones after i didnt get.

And I took Higher and i kept saying i didnt want to. And i have English Lit tomorrow as well... Of Mice and Men and poerty....

[*mazedsalv**]

I was just looking around the internet and apparently out of all subjects, Maths is the hardest subject for secondary school students, apparently the government are dissapointed in the recent results in the last few years, thats why they have lowered the boundaries. When they get my % they will be very shocked at how bad I did.

So i guess everyone struggles with Maths.

[Nicky.]

My facebook was just brimmed with year 11's saying how hard the exam was!!
And Carrie, Tom Fletchers sister, on Twitter was asking everyone how to do loads of the q's that were on it!

[MrGaryy]

I'm completely going to fail my exam. Well tof, I probably won't fail but I'm expecting like 50-65% at the VERY best.

[\PJ/]

I hate maths i get scared when i have to work money out.

[MrGaryy]

^same, i'm fine with most of it but when it comes to to tax and what not i get a bit lost after the basics.

[supernoodles!]

aww bless,don`t worry,most people always do better than they think they have.

How?

Because for someone like me, i would of taken Intermediate.... but i had NO choice on my choice of Maths. They just decided for me that i was going to do Higher. I think its really unfair that i was unable to choose what paper i wanted to do. I knew i would do awful on the higher but i still had to do it, and it was unfair.

[*mazedsalv**]

Instead of posting lots of different threads, heres a thread where you can talk about it.

Okay, i had my English and ICT today.
English was okay, nothing too difficult, but it was hard, ive hopefully passed, i mucked up on the poems but feel like i did better on Of Mice And Men.

And then my ICT.... Wtf!! :joker: It was soo random, i actually dont think i knew hardly anything!!! It was soo impossible! I mean what a stupid question when it came up with a pilot and something about weather conditions and stuff like that!! What does that have to do with IT!!!

It was soo bad, everyone came out laughing about how unrelevant the exam was.

[Sam!]

I had English Lit & IT retake today.

[Noel]

Good idea. :D
My English Lit today was...okay..
I wrote crap for 2 and a half hours, but my questions on An Inspector Calls and To Kill a Mockingbird were both predicted by my teacher, so we were all like WOOOOOOOOOOH.
Whether I answered them well enough, though, is a different question. :L
Well I wrote 5 pages for each question, so that must be good, eh? But I suppose it's all quality over quantity!
^^ Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Corkie]

I had English.

And we get choices what to do right for the poetry well I thought there was only 2 choices which were both hard but I chose one.

Anyway at the end of the exam i'm told they're was a 3rd question I could have done and it was easier. Ahhhh well, I think I did ok. You can never tell with English. I was sitting at the front which I hate as the invidulators stand over you. :rolleyes:

To kill a mockingbird wasn't too bad. Kind of rushed the end though. Also I didn't have time to read back on the essay's which I was gutted about.

Biology tomorrow.

I might go and cry. :bawling:

Apparently i went for the hardest poetry question which really annoys me... i should have done the easiest, i dont know why, I just nose dived into the question without thinking.

[JOSHUAH!]

I done my English Lit today too
To Kill A Mocking Bird & An Inspector Calls questions, altogether about 1hr 20mins, then the rest of the time for Poetry question.

Some people had it differently, with a choice of poems? I never got a choice of poems :(

But I think it went quite well, I never messed up the time, I'm pleased :)

[*mazedsalv**]

Hope you did well Josh!!

And the paper was out of 66, so can anyone make any predictions on what you think a B and a C would be? because then i would roughly know what i got.

[Indierock&roll]

i had english literature today too!
an inspector calls, poems and lord of the flies .. i am poo at english lit but i do think i did pretty darn okay

[Sam!]

What bit didn't you get taught?? Was it the Higher where it's D to A* stuff? Cause people in the lower sets doing higher in my year aint getting taught most of the A* stuff. Mind you Salv, on the higher you don't need a very high mark to get a C i'm sure. Hense only some of the work is C- grade.

And I have my Maths Higher Terminal on the first June [my birthday]. I need 70sumin% to get an A overall and 92% to get an A*.. wahhh A it is then.

[Sam!]

I had 45mins on Lord Of The Flies and 1hr on Pre1914, Heaney & Clarke poetry.

I have Biology in an hour and a half. Not worried though. One of the DTFood papers is tommorow and I have German Reading on Friday.

[Z]

I'm away to leave my house to go to school to do my Advanced Higher German exam... wish me luck! Arrrrggghhh!

[Christina]

Haha, for Of Mice and Men i picked the question about dreams..everyone seemed to pick the Lennie one? And on poems i had to write about Havisham and My Last Duchess and talk about how the writer shows bitterness and then i had to pick one pre 1914 poem and an Armitage one and describe how it showed pleasure.

Your thoughts?

[marctierman]

[marctierman]

i have my german listening exam tomorrow...

someone decide FOR ME whether i should revise now or not?

[Christina]

I wonder if ours will be the same.. i have mine tommoz too =(

[Jen]

I was wise.
I didn't take Business Studies.

[SiaSiaSia]

No. Listen to german music or german radio, it's probably too late to revise now.
I always revise for listening the night before by listening to Die Prinzen and Ich und Ich and having a look at the lyrics.


Also, moved to "The Official GCSE thread"

[Christina]

I can't even be bothered to revise but i need to!

[TheMac]

Had Buisness and Economics today, first real GCSE. Was piss easy though.

[SiaSiaSia]

I didn't revise for any of my GCSEs
ahahah probably why I didn't get all As and A*s :/

[Indierock&roll]

i just havnt revised and i wish i had because i would of liked to get like As and A*s wich i definatly wont get

That exam counted as 50% of my mark and my folio counted as the other half.

[Sam!]

I had my German reading today, and my god was some of it fffing hard. Woaaah there. One of the questions was a twatt.

[Noel]

German Listening! Wooooh!

[Christina]

The Maths higher paper 4 was soo much easier than the 1st omg i might of actually done okay compared to the last one [and i'm crap at maths]. I left loads blank and then my mate sitting next to me told me to just write in any answer incase i'm right so i did. Got English tommoz.. i'm not so worried about that exam.

[MarkWaldorf]

Christina go to bed if you have an exam :p

[Sam!]

I had my Maths higher yesterday and found it pretty easy actually. Had Geography [was ******** it] and English paper one today, both were alright.

I've got 9 GCSE's left now and have 2 tommoz [science resits]. Then i finish on the 19th!

And 'Of My Mice and Men' is a good book to do for GCSE. :)

I'll never forget my English GCSE's, Got given the wrong book that the other half of the year were studying but couldn't be bothered asking for the right one.. so i was answering questions on this book, never read it before in my life ( think it was Lord of the flies ) and i was just writing anything.. bet they thought i was taking the Piss when they marked my paper. Still got a D though

[Braden]

I'm doing 'An Inspector Calls' at the moment Charlie!

It's sooo annoying, i'm doing mocks on the different styles of questions right know, it's all so confusing...I think i'm gonna do bad! :p

[CharlieO]

i got my exam so soon. im quite good at english i got all A*'s and A's in my course work i just cant bring myself to revise anymore. i need to though i just keep getting distracted.

[Boothy]

I miss GCSEs now I've gotta do A Levels :(

[JackLewisScott]

The one on the 16th of may is poems from different cultures such as limbo.... and then its the writing to argue persuade and advise

[MeMyselfAndI]

lol i have that English one, and i fail at English but idc

[MeMyselfAndI]

I really cba :(

And like, I'm not actually sure. Basically I think we do one section on poems, then the another section is about a book. But I don't actually know which book D: It might be Of Mice And Men I think :'(

Mine is Mice of Mens, Poems and Inspector

[Benjamin]

Good luck to all of you that have GCSE's this month. :thumbs:

Our last part is the same as your last part aswell.

[CharlieO]

Our last part is the same as your last part aswell.

Everyone takes gcse's at same time so no one can cheat.

[Stacey.]

Everyone takes gcse's at same time so no one can cheat.

Oh yeah I remember them saying that now

[Niall]

I never knew there was a thread for this! :o

But yah I have Chemistry and Physics next week and I'm bricking it. :bawling:

[CharlieO]

Business studies on next friday. We've all been revising for unit one for like 2 months, the school emailed us yesterday saying its actually unit two first. Which is stupid but AQA are messed up.

['Conor]

what are gcses?

[CharlieO]

General Certificate of Secondary Education

['Conor]

so are they like end of year exams?

[CharlieO]

They are exams you take at the end of year 11 (age 15/16) to determine wether you should carry on with education. They stay with you for life and jobs and university applications are affected by them.

-didnt know you were being serious the first time-

['Conor]

of we call that the leaving cert then but its done at 17/18

[CharlieO]

Yea after GCSE's we do things called A-levels which some people choose not to do. But nowadays you kinda need A-Levels to get a decent job.

['Conor]

oh you see the leaving cert just determines what course you go on to do in College or u call it University

[Lewis.]

Not long now until results!

[Redway]

I hear you, bruv.

[CharlieO]

Its still a while, just under 2 months.

[Niamh.]

oh you see the leaving cert just determines what course you go on to do in College or u call it University

No, I think GCSE's are like the junior cert. A levels are like the leaving cert, I think what they call college in the UK is just like more school for us, University and college for us is the same thing but not in the UK

[Benjamin]

When are the results for these? I like being nosy and knowing when work will be busy with students celebrating.

[Marc]

I think these are tomorrow as well Ben

Good luck everybody!

[MeMyselfAndI]

Nope they're 8 days & i doubt I'm posting my results here

[Smithy]

no, they're the week after, 24th (?) i think

that was meant for marc not mm&i :bored:

[Lee.]

I think Scotland already have theirs.

[CharlieO]

[VirginMediaPhil]

It's Thursday isn't it? That's what the news said.

I remember doing my GCSEs back in 2000, whilst Big Brother 1 was on. Good times!

[CharlieO]

I have been told I get my results on Wednesday. I get them online anyway as I didn't live in England when I did my GCSE's.

[Scream]

I get my results on Thursday and Maths I did so bad in omg. English is like my best subject and I get A/A* but after the English exam them grades are going down also. So annoying argh..

[Joelle.]

I get mine on Thursday and I havent really thought about it up to this point to be honest. I thought I would be more nervous. :hugesmile:

[MeMyselfAndI]

[Harry!]

Good luck to everybody on here that gets their GCSE results tomorrow. I hope you all do splendidly well. I plan to post my results here.

[Joelle.]

[Saph]

I didnt revise at all so I know im gonna do awful lol

As long as I do better than some of my friends then thats good! Overall I dont really care what I get because at the end of the day its letters on a peice of paper, its not an IQ result lol :)

If someone on here posts their straight A*'s I will actually hunt you down :suspect: lol :D but good luck!

[Saph]

Did anyone else have to do that ****ing stupid "To Kill A Mocking Bird" ?

I didnt write anything for that because I really could not be bothered! Its a ****e book and my English teacher was like "let the book intise you in" oh **** off. So I know i got an F for that one lol :D

..and in my story about going away with a friend for summer I started writing about my mum burning cigarettes on my friend or something :S I think I went mental for an hour xD

[Jords]

Good luck you lot :)

Once you've got your college course it doesn't matter really, I got mainly C's and D's but when I apply for a job I say I got A's and B's, and I've never been asked to bring in my results or prove it.

How did eveyone do in the Physics P1P2P3 & P4P5P6 exam?

[Doogle]

I have my core Biology, Physics & Chemistry GCSEs in June. :(

And I just my first English control assessment, and I have a work experience booklet to fill in for coursework and then do a control assessment on it which makes 30% of my total GCSE for Business. I'm so scared.

[Saph]

Physics was my re-do makeup and re-style hair lesson.

You'll be fine don't worry
Just don't stress out and do the best you can

[Me. I Am Salman]

Physics was my re-do makeup and re-style hair lesson.

LOOOOL!!!!! :laugh:

[Me. I Am Salman]

OMG i feel so lucky
GCSEs in my school are spread throughout yr.10 and yr.11
I've done 80% of them
I've only got these exams in Summer
-Humanities
-French
-Physics (one paper only, done the other two)

and thats ****ing all my secondary school GCSEs done and dusted!!!

[Saph]

I had to do GCSE's from year 9-11 :( we were a 'guinea-pig' year group

[Me. I Am Salman]

Loool. I forgot to add yr. 9 as well. I did my Biology GCSEs in yr.9
its a much better system, we can do lots of retakes for different exams
before they used to just do it in may - june in year 11, and the result you'd get would be the final

[Brother Leon]

They have changed the system so much and I only finished them less than 3 years ago ffs :joker:

[Me. I Am Salman]

So who's doing their final GCSEs like me this year?

[Kizzy]

did you take the higher or foundation paper? if it was higher you will only need 40%, did your tutor give you any practice papers? really shocked they would say that as teachers have to follow a curriculum and have no idea what questions will or will not come up. Chin up and good luck :)

Lool Kizzy, the OP did that GCSE in 2009.. i think saying 'chin up and good luck' to them is well and truly pointless now :laugh:
But kudos for being nice

[Kizzy]

Oh lol, thats when i did mine too funnily enough, should have done them in 1988 but cba ;)

[Me. I Am Salman]

oh lol, thats when i did mine too funnily enough, should have done them in 1988 but cba ;)

[Me. I Am Salman]

Got A for P1 P2 P3 and B for P4 P5 P6

[Jords]

Well done guys!

[Doogle]

My best friend got A*'s in C1 and P1 and an A in B1 science, I'm so happy for him. The grade boundary was really high for Biology.

I'm not in triple science but I did my first real GCSE today-my control assessment science coursework thing with the experiment worth 25% of my core grade. Went really well luckily.
