Good luck to the GCSE peoples tomorrow.

It's truly horrible, and you may be cacking it, but you may be suprised with the results. I was expecting straight U's. I seriously thought i had messed up my gcse's after missing the last year of school. I ended up with 4 D's. Infact, as this thread has been running for yonks, if you look back, you might see my posts this time last year. So don't get too nervous, and don't put yourself down until you see the actual results :)

Meh.... 1 A*, 7 As and 2 Bs...

It's good really, and probably better than I was expecting, but I didn't get an A* in History, which I was expecting and all my mates have at least 4 A*s...

I know I shouldn't be disappointed but I can't help it!

They're brilliant results, Robbo!!!! You should be really proud of yourself - getting an A*in anything is a brilliant result - and 7 As, that's just fantastic. Don't compare yourself to your mates, you still passed all your exams with flying colours and that's the most important thing.

Give us the motivation, we can cause a sensation!

Don't people realise that GCSE results being good doesn't mean that they're ridiculously easy, and that we might actually be working hard, and thats what gets us the results?

In my opinion, B is the optimum grade to get. Anything higher means you actually concentrated in the subject and didn't have any fun at all. Anything lower means you didn't concentrate enough and probably put other people off.

I got 1 A, 7 Bs and 3 Cs.

Not really Rob, I had the most fun in Media Studies and English out of all my subjects.

Right, my results:

Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Music - B. No idea how I pulled that off with regards to science, as I came out of Chemistry and Physics in tears. Maybe the examiner liked my illustrations all over the paper.

Maths, English Lit, Law - A. Gutted about Law, I wanted an A*. Pleased about Maths as everything I'd not revised/couldn't do came up on the paper.

Geography, Media Studies, English Language - A*. Nicely predicted Nati! I'm pleased about Media, it means I got over 97% on the paper and they thought my ideas were original.

I'm happy with that, and I got the documentation for the A and A* I got last years today too.

Woo! Well done everyone! And i may have been waiting for Grace to come and tell her results too Nati lol
That's fantastic Grace.:woo: Hope the parents are pleased too. Celebrations are definitely in order.

Haha, thanks both of you. My mum seemed a bit disappointed on the phone, I'm not sure why, oh well. I can't wait to get enrolled at college now. :D

Well done to Rik, Robbo and Rob too. (And anyone else who's got their results today.)

I'll do the full review if anyone's interested...

Design Technology and English Lit - B... Not too surprised about DT - did the best I could as I only picked it as I didn't want to do Art or Music. Bit gutted about English Lit, as I was predicted an A and I'm doing it for A-level, but Oh well.

RS, Chemistry, Maths, Biology, Physics, History, English Lang - A... Surprised about RS, as the teacher was rubbish, and I was finding it hard, but apparently I got 94% on the 2nd paper, which is rather nice. I can't believe I got an A in Maths.. I was thinking a C, and Bs in the Sciences, so that was a nice surprise. English lit is fine, as A was what I expected, but gutted about History - I got the top mark in the year in my mock, and 49/50 on the History coursework, but obviously didn't do too well on the paper, as my teacher said it was only a mid-A.. Really wanted an A* as I want to do it at University, but, oh well, I had a look and a B at A-level seems to be good enough for history.

French - A*... Yay.. shame it's the only one, but I'm happy enough with that.

Congratz Grace, you did great!

I did actually wake up this morning wondering why people panic so much over GCSEs. I think the further up the ladder you go, the less significant previous exams seem. But they're still a test of your education and how smart you are, so I can see why people care a lot.

Whats everyones plans then?

Might get a sandwich, how about you?

I know exactly what you mean, to me (sorry people, dont have a go) GCSEs feel so much easy now compared to A levels!

Just remember to not only work hard but play hard next year too!

I can say the GCSEs are much easier than A-levels but (can't believe I'm going to say this) they weren't as fun.

Further Maths this year was the best ever maths I've taken. It was actually fun because it was difficult *ducks* *covers*

But I'm kind of twisted like that.

Well done to all of you. Have as much fun as you can have of what's left of this summer.

Tara you're just like Charlie off of Numb3rs... Although he did graduate when he was 13 and wrote his first maths paper when he was 14 and .... well what I'm trying to say is I'm sure he'd find A Level Further Maths exams enjoyable too!!!!

I love Charlie too - in fact I named my cat after him!! Cos I'm a saddo. And also cos Charlie's a proper boy's name and my cat is a proper boy cat. He looks like his name's Charlie if you know what I mean. Anyway. Numb3rs is great. The End.

I do remember really looking forward to all my English exams, especially Language where I could just totally let rip with writing a story. I loved pulling books to pieces in Literature as well and just get everything out of them that I possibly could.

So yeah I'm a weirdo too!!!!!

      I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently!

      That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots. A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1. Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.

      I remember hearing Amy first on Scotts show and she was great on that, the daft quiz questions always made me smile. It's really nice to see the hard work has paid off for them all.

      Actually the worst tends to be those who comment on Radio Today news stories. People who haven’t listened to younger oriented radio stations in years who say things like “who?” about any job going to any presenter aged younger than 50.
