Quite a chunk of the forum have sat exams this years, and Radio 1 again, are sharing their tips.

I know the Scottish exam results are out on the 7th August, England and Wales are a bit later in the month, 26th maybe? And im not sure about Ireland. But, if youre worried, heres a few words of wisdom from the DJs...

Share your worries and woes.

And theres more videos here including a video blog from a radio 1 listener.

(Im assuming this will turn into a thread full of peoples worries, and eventually, results. So i'll keep it in the lounge for now)

Yeah, so who is awaiting exam results on here? I am awaiting my A Level results, but it's not as significant as my friends. They're all off to university so rely on them, and crapping themselves about it all.

I would like to come out of sixth form with something good and something to show for the last two years, but it's not going to dramatically upset me if I don't do as well as I'd hoped. The fact that exam results are now 16 days away does however scare me!

What about you guys? Awaiting A Level results? GCSEs? Considering university in September?

Im waiting on 5 Higher results (A levels). Im hoping ive passed them all comfortably, so my last can be a bit more laid back having got the grades i need for university, but unfortunately, i doubt it very much. I lost interest in about december.

I think i'll be revisiting a few classes. But we shall see on the 7th.

My GCSE Results come out on the 23rd August - so it means a 7am train journey to Newbury from Reading cos i'm at Reading Fest the day before - and i know i haven't done great at all and i think i will be lucky to get c's in any of my subjects. hopefuly i will be getting into college in september, which reminds me i need to talk to the course leader about doing a seperate exam within the college to assess my situation better, because before my depression i was in good sets for pretty much everything, but then i got depression and missed all my deadlines and what have ya.

But hey, like the DJ's said i know it won't be the end of the world if i don't get the results i want, and i'm expecting to not get the results i want. So i'm kinda open minded about it.

I think the English A-Level results come out on the 15th August, btw.

Good luck to everyone else expecting exam results,

Mike

I'm quite happy that for the first time in three years I'm not awaiting any kind of exam results at this moment in time. But good luck to everyone here who is, the waiting's the worst part but I'm sure you've all done great. :D

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I'm waiting for my GCSE results too, but I have no idea when they come out over here. Anyone know? :confused:

I'm hoping for four C's, to get into the media course I want to do, but I don't think I'll get them. If I do, and that's a big if, I'll have just scraped them.

Good luck everyone!

I remember this time last year, I was terrified about results. Good luck everybody, I hope you get results you are happy with.

I got my results back in June, and they weren't particularly important anyway this year. Having to wait till August is horrible, but in a week or two or three, it'll all be over.

Ive already got into a photography course but tbh i could have probably got into it if i never had eyes ;)

My Advice: Dont worry about it, its too late to do anything now enjoy your summer .

Oh im bricking myself already, I had a really bad dream about results the other night, so I dont really want to talk about it..

Ahh you'll be fine, I was worried like you for GCSE results, but you nearly always out exceed what the teachers expect you to get.

I'm waiting for 5 AS Level results and 1 GCSE.

Oh I see, English A-Levels. I was then going say to 'when are mine? Bloody English students getting their own results day for one subject'. Then I realised you meant the country as opposed to Scotland or Ireland.

I'm waiting on two GCSEs, haha. It wont be the end of the world if I fail either (who really needs RE and Stats?) but if I pass Stats and get higher than a B in RE I'll be as chuffed as two chuffed things.

Oh, you'll be fine in RE. I was predicted a B, but that got lowered to a D/E, because I didn't bother in class tests, but I ended up getting an A* overall in RE :)

My results are the 23rd, for my GCSE's. Just over 2 weeks away. I'm very nervous but at the same time I can't wait to just stop worrying about it and know.

I hope I get above B's in my english literature and language, also German.

I'd like to pass spanish and science at a C, because I've struggled loads with those two. I'm pretty confident about everything else though really.

I don't really know what we do? Like what time do we turn up at school and what not..?

You have to go to school for them?

We get them delivered, although i hope the postman wont be striking then. That would be most inconvienient.

The tuesday is approaching faster than id like. Im waiting for Maths, English, Georgaphy, Computing and PE - all for higher. The only one i know for sure that ive passed is PE.

Good luck to everyone else.

Yeah we go to school for ours. Otherwise it's another three or fours days before the school will be arsed to send them. You turn up to the exams lady, say your name, and they give you an envelope whilst your teachers quickly look through the list and judge you before you've opened them.

    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
    • He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot
    • Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later
    • I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
    • With the effects I'm half expecting a massive whoooooo soon
