I'm starting to feel a nervous now about results day. My DS is predicted C's and B's in most of his GCSEs except French which despite working hard for he is predicted a D and ICT which was all coursework and looks like an A.
Good luck to everyone.

Go to Sixth form, hopefully if all goes to plan, otherwise college beckons as good apprenticeship jobs are hard to find. My Ds has already got an A in Maths and English Language so I'm sure the school would take him unless he does extremely badly.

What are your DC hoping to do in September?

A mixture of predicted a,b and c grades for my DS so very interesting to see where that will take him. I just hope he passes all of them with c's and above tbh.

Yes! Predicted b & cs too. And 1 A! Also D for Btech.

I don't like to think about grade boundary changes, and the possible impact!

I feel really ill thinking about it! My DS is the same. PE all coursework and has a distinction*. English is very borderline and with all the report of grade boundaries changing I can see a D. He needs 5 A-C incl math and English.

Good luck to you all
