Re: tomorrow. [shattered dreams inside]
the colleges with grade requirements all tend to be full of people who seem to think it actually matters how clever you are anyway, why'd you want to go to one of those?

If you're a good talker you can get around those pesky grade requirements.
Anyway, you'll ace it phang, easily.

Re: tomorrow. [shattered dreams inside]
why do they put people's gcse results (or number of passes) in the paper btw? isn't that a bit insensitive towards people who aren't happy with their results? and it's not like seeing how many passes someone got in an exam is any business of anyone apart from whoevers results they are, so why bother?

Re: tomorrow. [shattered dreams inside]
Universities get to see GCSE results because they're a good way of telling the difference between two candidates with the same AS Level grades. The one with the better GCSE grade will usually get the place.
I didn't get into Cambridge because mine were comparatively low, despite a strong interview.

Don't worry you've got the rest of your life to realise the whole thing was a meaingless charade and the little time you spent caring about them could have been more wisely invested in mastering how to make bacon sandwhiches.

Don't worry about it. GCSE's arent important. They only exist to seperate the stupid from the capable (or for those not continuing education). Your grades are fine.

well i'm well ahead of schedule
fortunately, i know how to make bacon - AND EGG - sandwiches, and only started being interested in GCSEs after they started. which is my 'excuse' for not meeting those state-definied targets of excellence, which are of course the only measure of a person's competence and capabilities.

I got an E in one of my GCSEs. One of my friends had a nose bleed and his exam paper was covered in blood and I think he beat me.

that's pretty cool actually. my only interesting GCSE story was that i got out of bed altogether leisurely halfway through business studies 1 and then saw a clock. suffice to say, my ability to get to school (20 miles away) and complete the paper on time remains a mystery to me

Re: tomorrow. [shattered dreams inside]
it means that for whatever reason, they cannot grade your work, in my case, i msissed an exam, annoyingly, if i had gone into the exam and just sat there and written my name, i would have got a C, but they couldnt give me that, hence the Y

Re: tomorrow. [shattered dreams inside]
they would probably be either teachers or retired teachers, as i only know a few fit teachers, none of whom have the experience to be examiners, i think that i can play the odds quite sucessfully here!
