The Exams Thread

Recommended Posts

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?

;)

Im off to the gym!

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!!!!!

    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay tomorrow (Monday 29th April).
    • When Scott and Chris announced their departure from R1, I remember there was lots of speculation about who would take over the 1pm slot. Matt and Mollie were talked about a lot on here, and at the time I really didn't rate them as a replacement. A few years on, I see that I was totally wrong. They are such a good pairing, and it's the same kind of duo as Scott and Chris, in that they are real life friends, who spend time together in their real lives, which really does come across on air. True friends having a laugh together, and everyone is invited is how it feels to me now. I never thought about it before, but I agree with @coffeeandgin that Mollie is the Scott of the duo - pop obsessed and maybe a litte ditsy, but so funny, and in need of someone to anchor to or bounce off.  It seems that Matt is the kind of Chris of the duo then in that comparison, the one with the ideas, but also needs another person to make the magic happen. I know I'm outside of the R1 demographic, and maybe Dean and Vicky were meant to be younger and fresher, but I'm sure in my younger years I would have preferred to listen to two people who had a genuine connection and could really make each other laugh, as well as have the listeners laugh along. That was the Scott and Chris factor for me, and I think the only pair that come close to that now are Matt and Mollie.
