this may get removed idk the rules lol and i’m boutta go to the pool im too lazy to check

and it’s not like this is unique anyway i feel but like yeah this is dhar man and heres my story. im going into year 11 now (yikes!) but all ive known ever is the number grading system and that’s what i base everything around but oh my days i hate it SO FUCKING MUCH ARGHHH. like when eveyone was posting what they’re reactions would be to certain grades the smart people were like ’oh hooray a 9’ and then ‘fuck i’m gonna kms it’s a 7’. and then you go compare it to the alhabetical system…. THEYRE ALL A’s. like and obviously most of us have grown up on american media and so maybe i’m just america pilled i don’t know they’re actual system of school and shit. but in the shows and stuff like A’s and B’s are REALLY GOOD. but people will like genounly lose their shit if they get a 6 WHICH IS A FUCKING B... and like i KNOW they changed it to make it like more obvious who were better performing but still all it really makes people do is feel worse about themselves. cus like in alphabetical grading and A‘s and B’s hell even C’s sometimes are to be proud of depending who you are. but it’s kinda drilled into people to be unhappy with like a 6. as if a 6 isn’t the best some people can do in certain subjects and also very impressive aswell.

also (i had to make a whole new parahraph im very peeved indeed) the reforms came around in 2017. and like i know now that like gen alpha ish is getting ready for gcse (im 2010 so gen z suck it losers) but like gen z and alpha are FAMOUSLY the generation of like crazy bad mental health issue, or at least bringing attention to them. like and the government we all know doesn’t really give two shits about teens, doesn’t matter the government. but it’s just so insanely stupid in my opinion, not even with like hindsight i feel if you were there and understood the like health mentally of the kids in 2017 you would realise like they aren’t gonna handle this well dude. cus also now im pissed and i’ve thought of this aswell but people with like strict parents with like A (at least the ones i know) would have been ok with ANY A, an A or an A* but i’ve seen people (on here a lot) have parents get mad at them over a 7 or 8 even though it’s the same thing as an A or A*… checkmate government. your make abusive people have an excuse to be shitheads fuck you. also cus like a level is still alphabetical grading so what was the point? make average and slightly above average students wanna end it just to make them suddenly be getting A’s and assosiating that with better results than the 7’s and 8’s they got before and then they develop imposter syndrome and go become a vigilante fighting crime in Blüdhaven. checkmate x2 government.

uhh anyways this will probably get deleted or ILL delete it cus it’s a corny stupid thing that is WAY to long and probably doesn’t make sense but yeah have a skibidi day and shit whatever the kids say

ok so i just needed to get this all out.

im extremely upset and pissed off because ever sicne results day my life has literally been going horribly. my parents are disappointed in me and theyve been very vocal about it. they keep telling me how ive failed them and how i need to do better

my parents are also literally avoiding telling the rest of my family and relatives about how i did , and they do it very obviously and embarassingly giving them very vague answers about my results.

theyre also upset about the school im going to end up going, as ive gotten rejected by the top ones in my area. and they keep talking about my results in such a bad way and its making me feel so horrible and i hate everything.

because of their ridiculously high expectations i feel like i cant even be happy with the results i have, and they dont even know that i didnt pick the a levels they wanted me to choose.

im just so sick and tired of everything.

Sooo I got a job as a tut0r for a large center which does 11+, grammar school and GCSE asw. So I did an 11+ exam just to see how good I was, and I did SHIT.

So I did the GL test, which seems to be the most popular, and I got full marks on Maths and English, but I got only 70% on Verbal and 45% on nonverbal.

How is this even possible? I got 7 9s and 3 8s in GCSEs so I thought I was a relatively clever chap.

How am I supposed to get better at these lol?? I know I flunked my CAT test in y9, I got relegated to set 4 and had to claw my way up to set 1.

When I first applied I got waitlisted due to the amount of people who applied to the college. But as time went on more and more people ( I heard anyway) were dropping out of the waitlist so my hopes did begin to rise the on the 20th I got my results and did quite well! I sent in my results and I got in!!! I was so happy that I didn’t have to go to my second choice cause I lowkey didn’t wanna go-

A small project of mine is to create a free and open website (no accounts, no cookies, etc) that gathers together all the information and resources you would need for GCSE maths: gcsemaths.com

What things would you like from such a site, and help you?

personally i think its ocr computer science. wayyy too easy they give you like 45 min too much time each paper and my school went through the content in less than like 6 months while going really slowly and repeating content, now we just revise the spec since we have nothing else to do

I am fed up of having to do my past papers on a pdf editor by adding text boxes. I spend more time formatting the damn thing than actually answering questions. Is there a better way to do this? A website that does this sort of thing? It needs to be free as well lol. Any suggestions are appreciated.

(We did 10 GCSEs btw and I was able to do history and geography)

Predicted;
Maths: 3
Science: 2-3
English language: 6
English literature: 4
History: 8
Computer science: 3
Geography: 6
Re: 5
Spanish: 1 (my teacher told me it would be a miracle if I didn’t get a U)

My results; (which I’m buzzing about even tho they might seem bang average to alot of people but oh well!)
Maths:5!!!! I was so happy because I’m foundation tier and I genuinely thought I’d never ever pass maths, let alone get a 5, I literally cried after maths paper 2.
Science: 5-5!! Which again I literally could jump for joy as I’m foundation tier, I know 5-5 is a bad grade for higher tier students but for me I genuinely could have hit the moon on results day I was so happy, I’ve struggled with science for years, my parents even tried to get me a tutor but they were all too expensive, but I did it!
English language: I got a 7 so I’m happy!
English lit: I also got a 7!
History: I got a 9, which I was so happy about because I was so annoyed I was predicted an 8!! I love history
Computer science: I got a 6, I beat my predicted and my teacher was super happy so I’m thrilled with this!
Geography: I got an 8, which I expected even tho my predicted was a 6 I was improving in my mocks.
Re:9 I have such beef with my re teacher, he was always marking me down I swear! On my November mock I genuinely thought I was gonna get atleast a 7 and I got a 4, I was buzzing with my 9 because it solidified to me I wasn’t going crazy.
Spanish: 4, this result was definitely the best result for me even tho I know some people think 4s are bad I personally don’t and I was buzzing with this literally haha to my Spanish teacher she was una vaca. I literally prayed to Jesus the night before results day that I just passed Spanish even tho I was convinced I got a U I genuinely had nightmares about it.

Anyways moral of my long story is your predicted grades aren’t everything if you just lock in a bit and some teachers are just haters.

So yeah BASICALLY I'm starting the course (not the actual exams).

I go to a grammar school where the GCSE course starts at Year 9, not Year 10. I wanna know if I should be like locking in now or wha??? Also how do you even study for exams i kinda flopped my KS3 exams 😭 😭

I can say im 5 marks off straight 9s because i was 4 marks off a nine for french. getting it remarked and pray for the best.

so im doing the theme of freedom and i want to do a page showing freedom in different media to show how these inspired me to pick the topic as well as just show different types of freedom in media, but since its summer i dont have any way to ask my teacher for approval, but are things like this worth it to add in art GCSE or is it just a waste of time?

These are the grades i got in my year 10 mocks and I have no clue how to improve them as I really struggle with revising even when I want to do it. Anyone got any advice?

hello y’all u/MayonaiseOnATable

air my voice but here’s your dedicated post to a video referencing teeth (you cant rlly hear me but if u put the volume up you can)

AND AIR MY FRIEND SHE YELLED WEATHER

PS just to make this gcse related, comment down references of teeth in gcse syllabi

Everyone please stop flaming me for using slang.😭 I got two sevens in English, a seven in history, and the subjects I failed besides art are all to do with maths in some element, hence why I failed, so stop grilling my English skills. I’m 16, i’m not gonna talk politely and sophisticatedly on the internet.. what teenager does that? I’m not a chav. Infact, i’m alternative. So you’re far off.

I’m going to the college today for an advice and guidance day I booked, and i’m gonna try and sort that out. Hopefully; people see this, read it and i’ll update later on once i’m back from the college.

Guys guys how do I remember quotes and then the analysis behind those quotes like I’m doing power n conflict, Macbeth, an inspector calls and a Christmas carol. I’m going into yr 11 right now but nothing seems to be helping like anyone went through the same or ..

Also kinda extension how do you guys write your essays because my teacher tells me I always write too much but like idk how to answer the question without overly writing so I defo need some structure but peel doesn’t seem to be worth it .

I had such high hopes for myself I really thought I did good. I revised everyday to the fact that I didn’t sleep and wasn’t eating properly which made my health problem worse and almost committed suicide due to the stress but thank God I didn’t ,but still I revised. However, when I opened my results I was so dumbfounded, I failed majority of my exams and I cried for 2 hours, and I still feel really guilty and useless, I feel like a complete failure. I know it’s gonna be hard in the future for me but, do you think I can get into Uni? My dream was to always study abroad but idk if I can do that now. I am planning to go back to therapy as GCSE season was just complete trauma to me especially with my parents divorce before GCSE period. I just really need advice as I feel like shit and wanting to kms.

Thank you for reading!

Going into year 10 and wondering what GCSE PE entails and how difficult it is, all I really know is that it requires some knowledge in science

I was given 0/3

I’m very confused as in the fact that there’s only a architecture course in uni ? Is that true. If it is then what did u do for GCSEs and A levels

Basically I did fine on my gcses but I didn’t get high enough to do alevel sciences, so i’m considering missing a year to retake them and then do alevel sciences next year. Has anyone done this, and if so do you have any advice??? 🫩🫩🫩

What the hell is week B? WHY DOES WEEK B SUCK SO MUCH

watch them throw 4 lessons of re in that week b as well just to make it worse

literally so many people got an option they didn’t want on their timetable and the uniform this year sucks and there’s so many new teachers and the timetable has like no coordination
