To all you ex-GCSE students waiting for your results good luck for tomorrow when you open them letters. Not long now till we can be put to ease, hopefully.

Seems a long time since we did the exams but hopefully our 'hard work' has paid off!

Cheers,
Rich

Haha, I know people go to great lengths to be first with the GCSE results topic but posting it before the day is a new one to me!

Good luck you guys. If they don't go quite how you hoped, don't lose heart. In a year's time nobody will care what your GCSEs were. As long as you get into 6th form and get onto the courses you want it's fine.

Nope, I guess its a good luck to everyone, just don't let the A Levels bite you up the rear, you will have to do a lot depending on your subjects and how many, so I'd say when you do go onto your A-Levels, make sure you do plenty of work, other than that, sixth form is awesome, just one relaxed chill out party with everyone just with the studying. Then theres the real parties where the older students provide the alcohol

you see that just ain't cool - how is he ever going to be able to get a decent job? who would employ you if you said you never turned up for any exams, it justs shows that you wimp out of things easily and that your unreliable - just what an employer wants

and by the way i just wanted to add that i got a b in astronomy - which is pretty decent considering its a 2 year course which i started 9 months ago

No.., damn it...not even ICT...hehe. Got it for Business Studies, go me! Think my maths teacher was surprised it wasn't a * and the ICT exam was poorly written.

Well done Ian also, top banana

Good luck! FMaths will certainly be a challenge, but you do progress a LOT during the year. At the beginning of the year I found it a challenge, now I can integrate sin^4(2x) off the top of my head

So you're doing ICT? There isn't a lot of programming in that is there? I thought you were planning that myspace site for coursework...

i went ICT last year, and we did some assembly programming and stuff.
like
Quote: "make an Assembly program for each of the expressions below:
* x = x + y*z (x,y,z must be <> 0 at start)
* repeat until x = 0 (x = 3 at start, x must be dec. by 1 each loop)
* if x < y then
x = z
else
x=y
endif (at start x=3, y=5, z=7)
the assembly code must be written, tested and documented in your answer. you must also describe how data moves fr4om memory to processor and back again."

using this online tool http://www.course.com/downloads/computerscience/aeonline/6/4/index.html

it was pretty cool, eventually i got a grade 4 in it (don't know what that would be in england though, 1 = fail 6 = top grade).

we also did networking, ghosting, website design, sql programming, and other fun stuff. now i am a computer administrator trainee at a school.

edit,
testing sig..

David,

AFAIK your not taught programming per se. Many are doing Excel I think but I've asked if we (singular & plural) can do a website.

Yeah - what I remember being told by my teacher was that ICT was more vocational, and Computing is more technical. I have a friend who is doing Computing and it looks pretty good.

Go on then, it looks confusing to me. Maths was never my subjects, year 7 my best friend was constantly a pain in the butt, he stole my bag, chased him around the classroom then the head master walked in, year 8, the teacher didn't stay long, then we got subs for the rest of the year because they couldn't get a replacement, plus I misbehaved, kind of got removed from lesson once. Year 9 was okay. Year 10 was fine, then my teacher had a baby so I got chavette the chavvy maths teacher who loves chavs and doesn't teach, just hands you the text book and tells you the jist of it. But hey I got a C last year for my GCSE so I managed to pull something off

I hated GNVQ Int (4 GCSE vers.) ICT, it was boring, access was the worst bit, dreamweaver was the best bit, the only interesting bit, our school for a-level has 'manditory ICT' where you do the first 3 units, that was far worse, it made dream weaver boring, and the only bit of programming is HTML if you want to do it and Visual Basic for unit 3...

Oops, hehe. Integrating that is actually a beast.

(1/64)(24x - 8sin(4x) + sin(8x)

Well how you did it confuses me, but I'm not going to work it out with a calculator to see if you're right, I'll take your word for it. (I bet thats what people say to Stephen Hawkings everytime he comes up with something, so I bet he's made it all up, the cheeky sod)

7 A stars, 2 A's and 2 B's.

The two B's were in ICT which is my best subject. They recorded the marks I had been awarded for my coursework wrong. It says I only got half marks, when I got full marks. The School are appealing so hopefully it should be 9 A stars and 2 A's.

Doing A levels next year: Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Computing and Electronics.

Congrats to everyone and I hope they got the results they wanted.

Man I remember sh*tting my pants when I did my GCSE's but I didn't care about my A-levels I knew I had got into uni anyway (I needed 2 C's for my insurance )
It doesn't matter what you get in exams as long as you are happy.

I finally changed the bad spelling
