DD has 3 in geography and history- 1:30 or 1:45 each.

Thanks for the new thread @Techno56

My son had three papers in maths and in mandarin (well four if you include speaking).

DS is actually relieved that they have three in maths as he didn't feel he did very well in paper 1 but it's only a third of the marks instead of half, so more chance to pull back to a decent grade.

That does seem brutal and surprises me. Mine is doing mainly IGCSE which are 2 papers for everything (and double award science only do one paper for each science).

Seems much more of a natural progression to do 2 papers at GCSE and then 3 at A level. Are the 3 papers 2 hours long?

Results day is 22 August

DD has three papers in geography, Latin and maths. Brutal.

I think (from memory) 22nd August. Yes, three papers for a few: maths, history, languages.

Nearly there! Mine only has 3 left after geography paper 2 today. Ive found it very nerve-racking going through this with him. Older child was teacher assessed year and it all seemed a lot more low key.

Can someone remind me what day they get their results?

Also, just out of interest, do any children have 3 papers for a subject for GCSEs?
