[TheRingBearer]

I just got my AS level exam results back today for History and I.C.T and there's good news and bad news.

Good News:
History - 86% - 77/90 - 'A' :) :) :) :grin: :grin: :hooray:

Bad News:
I.C.T - 48% - 43/90 - 'E' :( :rolleyes:

Oh well, I can always retake it in the summer, which is what i'll probably do. Anyone else had any recent results?

[Bonos-Girl]

only major exam result i've had is IT GCSE...i got a C for that a few months back...almost a year actually....

well done for history! :)

[Pil]

yeah i did the same exam...oh my god it WAS that long ago! i got an A anyway...but omg well done for the history exam!!! :thumbs: I can only hope i can get As at AS level! :p

[Little Devil]

Well, I had a Geography test afew weeks ago and got 91% on it, it was a higher leval test, so was very please. Got another Geog test next Tuesday. ;)
Well RB with the A on History! :thumbs:

[Bonos-Girl]

well done LD!

the highest mark i ever got on an exam (not counting 11+ practice papers cos they were so stoopidly easy they don't count) was 96% i think for maths......dunno how i got that though.....maybe they gt my exam mixed up with someone elses.....

[Bawax]

i had an exam on wednesday and out of 40 questions i know 100% certain that i only got one wrong so i did ok there. :grin:

well done on your results RB and LD. :)

[Bonos-Girl]

well done B!! lol

[Keverzwijn]

I once got 100% for an exam of history and 99%for an exam of 'religion': What's ICT btw.

[Bonos-Girl]

information communication technology...basically computers and stuff.....

well done for getting 100% on a history exam...how the hell....?!

[TheRingBearer]

Well done everyone. Someone in my history also got 100%. Jammy so and so's lol

[Lady Melody]

Oh... my Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) exam. (Lower Form Asessment) last year.

I got straight 8 A's..... :evilcool: :elfqueen:

Hehe... ^_^

[Bonos-Girl]

well done lady melody
i have yr 10 exams next week and i'm really dreading them...usually i couldn';t care less but most of the tests are old GCSE papers and the french oral is different to how we usually do them...and i haven't even written it yet and its first thing monday morning...arrggghhhh lol

[TheRingBearer]

Wow, 8 A's. Mucho Congratso :thumbs:

[Little Devil]

Well, last year we ha loadsa test on what we learnt throughout the year, and I got 90% on a history test, I could have gotten higher but I didn't have time to finsh the last question. :( ;)

[YayBoromir!]

Congrats on your A! :grin: They're really hard to get. I'm doing my AS levels at the moment and it's quite a struggle (especially with maths. Oh why, why, did I take maths!!!) At the moment I am predicted an A for English (yay!) a B for Geography and German (how, I don't know) and a D for Maths...erk. Oh well, I'll have to brush up on those equations... lol

[Bonos-Girl]

i;m scared...everyone says maths is really hard at a-level..and yet i'm gonna take maths and further maths...why?!

[YayBoromir!]

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll do fine if you understand it! If you have the courage to take Further Maths, you should do really well, as it probably means you're a natural. I think my taking maths has something to do with my mum being a maths teacher... mecry
I was never that good at maths anyway. I took it because it's a useful subject. Universities respect you for even attempting the subject.
I'm sure you'll do great, and I wish you good luck! :thumbs:

YB!:cool:

[Bonos-Girl]

thanks...although i'll ignore the 'you should do really well' bit! lol

[YayBoromir!]

Hehe...a lot of effort is required, but if you have the talent, you will reap the benefits. :grin:

YB!:cool:

[Bonos-Girl]

but i'm not entirely sure i do.....that being the problem...lol

[YayBoromir!]

Well, the best way to find out is to ask your teachers. They're the ones who have the most experience. :) Anyway, I wish you good luck in whatever you choose!
Further Maths is hard, it's the hardest of the maths exams. If you do think you are not up to it, Maths Statistics is the most straightforward of the courses. You'll just have to do some research and find out what is right for you. Although the common recommendation is if you get a high B, A or A* for maths GCSE, you should be able to cope with A-level.

[Elbereth]

I'm really worried about Maths AS. Actually I'm worried about all of them!
i've also just done a chemistry test but no one remembers being taught most of it. Our teacher is really bad and we spend most of our time making notes from the text book and ignoring him. Luckily the other teacher is much better.
Practically the whole test was about catalytic converters and we haven't even covered them!
He just makes me so mad verymad ugg, he's just so USELESS
OK, rant over :blush:

[Bonos-Girl]

i really hope i get A* for GCSE...my teacher thinks i will....but then again..i don't really trust her....i'm just hoping for a B...cos then if i do gte A* i'll be pleasently surprised!

[YayBoromir!]

If you get an A* you should be able to cope with it. I got an A for my GCSE but I know someone who got a B and then got a C for AS Maths, which is really good!

[Bonos-Girl]

wow...your friend must be really clever....loadsa people who got A's at GCSE are getting low Cs or Ds for AS and A level at the moemnt...

[YayBoromir!]

In terms of percentages, a D or C at A level would be a C or B at GCSE. An E is still a pass at A level, and everyone's grades tend to drop. It's because there isn't an A* grade at A level. My aim is to get a C for AS Maths. I'm only taking it for AS anyway :)

[Bonos-Girl]

i think you'll get it!! good luck!

[YayBoromir!]

Thanks :grin: :grin: :grin: Good luck in whatever you choose to do too - I'm sure you'll succeed!

[Bonos-Girl]

thanks :).....today i had technology exam '9which was just one big joke right from the start) and french....erm.....i won't say anything about either of these exams till i have a mark to evidence my claims of stupidity!

[YayBoromir!]

My least favourite exams are oral exams for German. Urgh... mecry I just can't seem to do them! Every time I go in the room my mind just goes blank... it's so annoying. For my French GCSE I got 5 out of 8 points for the oral overall...but it got marked up to 6 with a remark appeal :grin: because I was only one mark off the next grade! That was lucky!
There were some serious remark issues - My English Literature grade was marked up by 28 MARKS! :o How inaccurate was that?!

[Bonos-Girl]

omg..thats crazy!! :elfeek:

you're really lucky for your french!! i alwasys thought it would be awful to be one mark off an a* or an a or summat....then i met someone who had got one mark off A* for musc......she was so annoyed!! lol

[YayBoromir!]

It is, isn't it! The madness...roflmao I was happy about it, though! And I wasn't the only one who was marked up by that amount!!!

Did she get a remark for music? You can appeal (providing it's close to the time you got your result), and it's worth it if you are only 1 or 2 marks off.

[Elbereth]

They lost one of my GCSE Latin papers and when it was found my grade went up from B to A. If my mum hadn't noticed the mark meaning 'candidate was absent for 1 of the papers' I would never have known or got the mark changed - How lucky was I that I was so incoherant about what I got my mum had to look at the results herself! (at first when I told her she thought I hadn't actually opened the envelope and I was telling her my results!)

[YayBoromir!]

Wow, that was lucky. And also lucky that it was found! Anyway, congrats on your A! I've never done Latin, but it looks difficult!
I had to wait an extra week after everyone else to get my results because I was on holiday...:( It was so nerveracking...

[Bonos-Girl]

well done...how'd you gte an A on latin?! nevermind....lol

[Elbereth]

Luck and guesswork mainly!
I swear I still remember the set texts. they were OK cos basically you just had to learn the stuff off by heart.
Still - it was quite a surprise! The headmistress phoned us the next day to tell us they had found the paper and what grade I'd got. We were out at Sutton Hoo sitting in the car park and I accidently shattered a glass and sprayed the dog with drink. Her fur went all frizzy afterwards!

[YayBoromir!]

lol lol lol funny story Elbereth!
The exam board do mess things up sometimes, but at least it turned out OK in the end! Well, apart from your dog's point of view! roflmao

[Little Devil]

Had two tests today, well one was finishing off a Geography test, think I didn't do so well, as I didn't revise. :(

[Bonos-Girl]

today i have two maths papers (they should hopefully be ok) and a biology paper (not too basd...)

[Little Devil]

I have two science papers coming up soon! And then all my SATS 3 coming up , school is so stressful!

[Bonos-Girl]

awww......good luck...my maths went ok...although i have a feeling that i did really badly cso everyone else sayas they were quite hard so obviously i did something wrong....nevermind!

[Pil]

It just that my friend BG here is FABULOUS at maths (i swear she was born with a calculator in her head) and whilst common folk like myself found it hard...she found it easy! :)

You go girl! :thumbs: :p

[Bonos-Girl]

lol..i'm still kinda worried cos there were only a few questions i found kinda less easy.....and everyone else found the entire thing hard....nevermind!

[YayBoromir!]

Wow, BG, you're really lucky to be good at maths! :grin:
I have a maths test in 2 periods time and I have done only half an hour's revision lol Been addicted to WoTR!!! Oh well, wish me luck! I'll need it!:p

YB!:cool:

[Bonos-Girl]

good luck!! tell us how you found it!! lol

[Elbereth]

Good luck

had a physics test today and about 1/2 the people didn't revise the right topic and the rest (including me) *ahem* didn't revise at all.
Not looking forward to getting the results on Wed

[Bonos-Girl]

awww....good luck for when youi get the results!

i had 4 tests today.....we hadn't been taught most of the biology....and it wasn't just that i hadn't been paying attention in lessons...we hadn't actually been taught it....

[Little Devil]

Probably getting my Geography results tomorrow, am not looking forward, my friend who is brilliant in almost every subject only got 69%, so I'm dreading my results.
Then I have a big Science test on thursday and next monday. I hate this time of year with tests and everything. Though something cheered me up today, I watched the teachers netball match with Year 11. lol It was so funny. ;)

[YayBoromir!]

I got 33/60 and 39/60 for my Geography AS mocks, which is about a C, and that's not bad considering I only did half an hour of revision lol lol lol I will do more for the real exams though!!!

[Bonos-Girl]

yay!! well done YB!! lol

thats what iu do...don't revgise amnd then if i get a C or summat i'm like...well...for my actual GCSEs i will revise and therefore get a way better mark! lol

[TheRingBearer]

Well done, I hope to do better on my later AS exams

[Little Devil]

Geography results 64% quite dissapointed, but everyone got about that much. On the other hand Maths test 88%!!! Was very pleased, and English mock exam I got a Leval 7, highest in my class! Was very very happy, as the English teacher is quite a tough marker. Very happy, but on Monday have another Maths test and Science test. Way too many exam's going on. :p

[Bonos-Girl]

well don LD!! good luck for the exams tomorrow

[Little Devil]

Thanks! I guess I need luck and sleep right now! lol

[Bonos-Girl]

i got two lots of results today..one bad, one good....

bad: biology...something like 41 out of 88.....less than 50%....whoops!!

good: chemistry....76% which is an A when i was predicted a B for GCSE and i still have a year to go plus coursework!! lol

[TheRingBearer]

i had a surprise English AS Mock today. Oh Dear!!
I think I really bombed it, so i'll just have to see how it goes. It was on The Winters Tale by Shakespeare but I had a really sucky question.

[Little Devil]

My school is killing us gradually, but surely with tests, have a maths test tomorrow and a big French verb test. So unfair. :(
