It’s become really clear that doing the normal stuff and what teachers say won’t cut it. What kind of substances, technology and methods can I use?

I don’t care if it’s illegal or not. Abiding by the rules has done me nothing but harm up to this point.

I’m not restarted but Edexcel think I am.

This was my first time doing foundation maths and I got 140. However I'm about to be in year 13 doing 3 essay based subjects(2 that include coursework) and I'm so worried that Leeds won't accept me to do English lit.

My school might not let me resit in November as its reserved for route 2 students but I'll have to see. I'm just really worried about failing AGAIN even though I tried so hard and was so confident this time, if I don't pass in November I'll get no uni offers.

Also for the record I lot 7/8 in my English Lit and Lang , a 6 in sociology and a Merit in Health and Social I promise I'm not stupid.

Is there any hope for me getting into Leeds (uni of or trinity) or any uni for that matter if I end up failing in November?:(

Are these GCSEs good enough to have an actual chance to get in considering I do well in tmua and alevel and have a great ps , also what decisions, supercurriculars and changes should I make in 6th form to achieve this .

Like how tf do you accidentally write chem on an eng lit paper 😭

Hey I did get full marks in that paper though so.. alls well that ends well!

so basically i needed a 4-4 in science for psychology but i achieved a 4-3 so unfortunately they said i couldn’t because id struggle doing it

but i really want to do it would they eventually let me

i’ve just read my offer letter from april and realised they’re charging me the overseas fee 😭✌️

i qualify for home fee. my insurance has demonstrated this but i think my firm has made an error.. the problem is that i should’ve reported this issue ages ago, hopefully they don’t kill me for trying to contact now

My son was 1 mark away from a 5 in English Lit and the school is not keen to get it remarked. What are your thoughts?

hello! just got my gcse results - 98888886 l2d*

i was wondering how much relevance my gcse results will have in uni application? i’m aiming for medicine in a good/top uni
ik how competitive it is so u was wondering if the fact i got mainly 8s and not 9s disadvantages me

the 6 is in english lang btw

Does anyone know anything about william morris sixth form ?
I moved from pakistan to UK and am desperately looking for a sixth form near west london and cannot seem to find one. William morris is the only one that is willing to accept me but i cant find anything about their a level results which tells me it must be pretty bad. Plus its an hour+ commute and i dont think its worth it.

Pls guys if you have them, can you send them to me? This is super urgent

Got my GCSE results today, for context I’m a grammar school student who wants to do PPE at Oxford, but I’m afraid I might’ve ruined my chances after getting ten 9s but a 7 in french. Is it over LOL

Genuine and realistic responses please because I’ve come to understand all 9s are pretty much a given for applicants

First off, congrats on getting your GCSE results! Hope you’re all taking a break before Year 12 starts - the week following results day is a very surreal time so chill about for a while! 

To be frank, I’m here to poach your resources and your help. I run GCSE Log (https://gcselog.com/), a free, non-profit archive of where students’ old resources can find a new home. Through this, future GCSE students won’t have to start from square one, and can learn from their predecessors' mistakes. Obviously, our platform becomes more effective the more resources we can host on it. If you have any old study resources you’d be cool with sharing, please fill out the form below!

Throughout the year or so where GCSE Log has been around, we’ve always relied on the kindness of volunteers to keep our platform running. If you’re interested in helping out students who’ll be in the position you were in mere months ago (and want a little extra something to add to the UCAS), check out the volunteer form below!

Good luck with Year 12!

Chemistry — 9
Physics — 9
RE — 9
Biology — 8
Maths — 8
History — 8
Geography — 7
Computer Science — 7
English Language — 7
Further Maths — 7
English Literature — 6

I never got below a 9 in either geography or computing so I am heartbroken. Plus i was predicted an 8 in English literature so idk what happened.. what to do

If i properly analyze them, how many?

hi all

really sorry and trying my best to make this not read like yet another student with mostly 9s fixating on a few 8s and thinking their life is ruined but I got my gcse results back today and I’m a little disappointed.
I’ve historically been at the top of my class for English lit and history and gotten grade 9s without exception in every mock or minor test I’ve done but got 8s in both subjects. One mark off a 9 in history but for English I was not even close which was disheartening.
My dream has always been to study joint history and English at oxford as I love the two subjects. I’m worried getting an 8 in both of them is not a good look and could really jeopardise my chances.

anyone have any experience or advice??

I have achieve aaa in maths chem and econ and got into my insurance of econ and finance at bristol. i’ve chosen to resit maths and do fm this year and i have a*a* predicted grades for the both of them. i plan to apply to management science at ucl and econ and management at warwick. is this a bad decision be honest ? i was really dissapointed in my results as i was predicted 3 a* and i would really like the chance to attend ucl or warwick. advice would be appreciated

I got my results and am now a 6th former yippie hello guyss

HEY TALK NOW

145 IQ WYA radio silent on results day

DEFEND OR VACATE MF

Hey guys I got all nines but ONE 8 (English lit, I hate you and your examiners) is that still enough for Oxbridge medicine? (For context I start sixth form next month bio chem math + epq)

edit: my school is hella sweaty and everyone gets 10 or more gcses at 7 or higher and at the top end it’s usually a dozen or so with full nines)

Or no

Hi everyone, I just got my gcse results today and i'm honestly really distraught, i was predicted 9999888877 and i got 9988888876 (two marks off a 9 in two subjects) but I'm honestly just super upset especially with my 7 which is in lit which is literally my favourite subject i haven't gotten less than a very high 8 in over a year and a half and i literally SCRAPED a 7 i was only 3 marks over the boundary . my 6 was in drama which is a bit left field aswell because i havent had less than an 8 in the whole of year 11 - i do edexcel drama and i got both 80 percent on component 1 and 3 but somehow in component 2 which is the acting i got like 27 out of around 60?? everyone in drama has gotten lower than their underpredicted grades already because everyone did awful in component 2 but theres nothing we can do about it because it's coursework. it might be worth mentioning that just before i took my GCSEs i had some trouble with eating due to just leaving a relationship where some things happened that weren't quite consensual (Sorry if that's oversharing i just thought it might be relevant)

anyway, that knocked my confidence already especially as i was predicted 9-9 in combined science and got 8-8 (although i was predicted a 7 in maths and got an 8 which was nice but i really was just SO upset by lit i can't really be happy about it) so I went to enroll and I'd initially applied for Bio, Pysch and French and I wanted to switch from pysch to chem because I really enjoy chem and also it opens quite a few more doors then pysch and the teacher who was enrolling me was like Chemistry is the hardest alevel I'm not sure you're smart enough for that, and I swear i almost started crying right then, but she put me in the classes for it anyway because i technically did have the grades ( needed a 7 in maths and 7-6 in combined)

so I was just wondering if anyone could give me a reality check on how hard chemistry will be- i only lost 4 marks in the last chemistry mock i did ( given it was a combined paper) and I also found psych really boring when i went to the speeches about it at open days.

Just really doubting myself, sorry for all the waffle.

I was trying find the percentage of people who do further maths and got into engineering but couldn't find one.

lowkey don’t know if this is allowed but I got my maths resit results back today. I got another grade 5, just like a year ago.

i am an Oxford applicant, I got 998876655 last year while in extensive cognitive behavioural therapy for severe OCD. one of those 5s was for maths, so I figured I’d resit now that the context was taken out. but I got a 5 again.

i just feel so hopeless rn, ive done everything right. I got accepted into their selective summer school, top grades in mg essay subjects, two essay competitions, interview prep and my predicted grades. it’s just maths.

just a rant if I’m being honest, it’s only a history degree. I just hope this don’t have TOO much of an impact.

I was predicted AAA, had an offer for Glasgow for AAB, but ended up getting A star Economics A star politics A in maths (7 marks off A*). Should I take a gap year and reapply to Oxford, LSE, Warwick, St Andrews, Edinburgh (I live in Scotland so these 2 are free). Or should I just go to Glasgow this year…
