GCSE 2022 Results - the moment of reckoning!

Well done everyone, good to get the waiting over with. My DS got 9s in maths, history and computer science, 8s in the 3 sciences and further maths. 7 in English lang and 6 in English lit. Well over what he needs to go to the 6th form he wants. He's a bit irritated about the physics 8 which I suspect just missed being a 9 but I can't see any point in appealing unless I'm missing something?

Very proud of him and can now breathe properly again.

@ReturntoNarnia good for your DD too. DD had really gone beyond caring by the time the real things came around. I am just hoping that now she's able to focus on subjects she's truly interested in for A Level, she will flourish academically. Hoping that the change of school will mark a turning point. And decent grades will give her confidence.

Well done everyone! Great results here too, hit the entry criteria for a levels thankfully - phew!!

Great to see everyone’s results and lots of amazing results. My dd sat 3 GCSE’s, she is severely autistic and attends a SEN school. The school was supposed to contact us this morning with her results but they haven’t 😕, Dd is in full blown meltdown mode, we are in holiday in the uk and she has seen other kids get their results on tv, we have a table booked for a meal at lunch time to celebrate (just for her sitting them) but we have no results. She has sat Maths, English and science. I was told she would never read, write or talk so she has already achieved way more than I ever imagined but I feel sad that the school don’t seem to think it’s important that she gets her results the same time as everyone else.
I have tired contacting the school but obviously no one is there.

She needed *two sixes.

Mine got
Maths 6, English language 5, English lit 3, science 55, art 5, history 5, child development D2.

Shes a bit disappointed I think :( she needed to at level 6 in humanities subjects so she could do sociology, but im unsure if child development counts?
Am I right in thinking its all high C's/ Low B's?
Fretting slighty!

I'm worried too. DS is not academic at all :(

He's very nonchalant but I'm nervous

I wasn't even allowed to accompany DD! She has her results - they're as predicted, spiky (ranging from 5s to 8s). She's pleased (she's the first to admit she kind of gave up on revision about half way through them) and so are we. She got her 5 in maths so now has options for sixth form (and has opted for the more academic one, although still time to change her mind).

Could have written this post Louis, similar here. Unfortunately, dd struggled to revise. I am relieved she has required grades to get into sixth form.

So proud of my DD. We only moved back to the UK in January so she has only had 5 months to prep for her GCSEs. She has spent the last 7 years learning in a different language with a very different curriculum. DD actually took her foreign equivalent of GCSEs last year, started college abroad and then when we moved had to go back to school 😂 She needed 4s to get on her course and she has smashed it. Although her foreign exams do count too.

Eng Lang 6
Eng Lit 5
Maths 4
Science 4-4
RE 4
French 9

Yes, we get the raw scores printed along with the grades. You can Google grade boundaries if that helps. Here they are:

@Mydietstartstomorrow so sorry to hear that for your DS. I think boys are often less mature and the penny doesn't drop for all young people at the same time. I hope he manages to get some good support and guidance on the next steps. Presumably he could resit some in November? It could be the wake-up call he needs?

Ds got 6 grade 9s, 3 grade 8s and a 7.
He is disappointed with one of the 8s but we are incredibly proud of him as is his older brother.

Congratulations to everyone else because quite frankly they have been through the mill over the last couple of years.

Forgot to put his French which he got a 5, he loathed the subject and we requested it was dropped however his school wouldn’t allow it.

Hopefully he will learn from this and use this as an opportunity to change.

I couldn’t be more proud of my ds, they’ve had a terrible last few years of schooling and any pass result these children achieve is an incredible achievement considering their last 2 years of schooling.

math 9
biology 7
chemistry 8
physics 8
english Lang 7
english lit 9
geography 7
sports science 2* distinction
Digital information D2

I think that they call it review not remark.

Mixed bag here, one 8 (2 marks off a 9!)
two 7s, four 6s, three 5s and a distinction* for his BTEC subject.

Happy with all but DS is disappointed with English, both Lit and Lang he got 5s but got 8s in the last two sets of mocks.

Just got back from school:

English Lit - 9
Food Tech - 9
English Language - 8
Chemistry - 8
Geography - 8
Biology - 7
Physics - 7
Maths - 7
German - 7
French - 6

Physics and Chemistry were 3 marks off the next up, German 2 marks off and Chemistry 1 😮not sure whether it's worth asking for a review of those? We're in school later for sixth form enrolment so will ask there. So pleased for her, especially Maths after the s*%&show of paper 1 - only problem now is she's dithering over A Levels!!!!!

Very disappointing but expected, just passed English and PE. DS Hasn’t bothered at all, hardly revised, now disappointed as he thought he would breeze it. Hasn’t got passes required for college course so has to do some again. We warned him till we were blue that this would happen, now he has to suck it up!

I wasn't even allowed to accompany DD! She has her results - they're as predicted, spiky (ranging from 5s to 8s). She's pleased (she's the first to admit she kind of gave up on revision about half way through them) and so are we.

Always worth getting English Language remarked if your dd thinks that she may have done better.
My dd was given a 6 some years ago. Asked for a remark and received 8
English Language marks are always a bit subjective

I didn't know this. I did gcses in 1994 and a friends parents asked for hers to be re-marked and the school sent back a random sample of papers (including mine) and I got promoted from a C to a B😄

DD1 - a mix of 7/8/9 but 5/6 for Eng lit & language. I know she's a bit disappointed but she as the 8s were in Biology & Chemistry & a 9 in French which is what she wants to study at A level I really don't care.

DD2 - a mix of 7/8/9 but she really did work hard for them. 9s in History, French and Eng lit. So really happy for her.

Off to celebrate tonight and then clothes shopping for college.

Will sleep a lot better tonight!

@Hiphophippityskip1 no wonder you are feeling upset.

was it as bad as he thought? Bet it wasn’t x

DD was very nonchalant saying she didn't really care....but I know she did really.
She got 7 9s and 3 8s which we are super happy with.
Slightly bewildered by the 9 in physics as it really is her worst subject, and a reason she chose triple science instead of combined so it wouldn't drag down ger overall grades. I even triple checked it was her name on the sheet!
Unsure what friends got.
