Failed miserably at biology at school, but have since done a GCSE in my own time - I just got my result today and I got an 8 (an A in old money). I feel sure there must be some mistake, but I am so thrilled!

Delighted for you! Well done, that’s a proper achievement! I am going to stand up right now and skip around for 2 minutes in solidarity, I’m really so pleased for you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Maybepossibly22 · 02/03/2023 14:54

Well done OP!! You deserve some skipping and lots of celebratory wine/chocolate/cake (Delete as appropriate). GCSE science is next on my list - I had a mental breakdown during my GCSEs and need to have at least a C to do my primary teacher training. Big big congrats to you Cake

SnuggleBuggleBoo · 02/03/2023 14:54

That's fabulous OP! Well done you!!

Onthechaiselongue · 02/03/2023 14:56

Giving you all the high fives right now, OP. It’s a fantastic achievement! Boast away 😘

Leftbutcameback · 02/03/2023 14:57

Big congratulations and skip away! What a lovely thing to have achieved 😀

Leftbutcameback · 02/03/2023 14:58

It’s also promoted me to think about doing a GCSE in something which I didn’t do the first time (although not German, my beginner classes have been hard enough!)

Xol · 02/03/2023 14:58

Excellent, well done!

Justmeandthedog1 · 02/03/2023 14:59

Congratulations, great achievement. 💐

AllTangledUpInThisTango · 02/03/2023 14:59

Fantastic! Skip away to your heart’s content.

TheOrigRights · 02/03/2023 15:01

Have some pom poms from me OP, they'll make the skipping all the more fun.

I am a biologist and I approve of your subject choice!

mushroom3 · 02/03/2023 15:02

Yes skip! Plus, actually an 8 is a lower A . The old A was divided into grade 8 and 9.

mushroom3 · 02/03/2023 15:03

stars have gone! 8 is the lower half of the old A star!

Mincedpies · 02/03/2023 15:04

Your post put a smile on my face - I don’t even know you and I’m very chuffed with your achievement! You deserve all the skipping and all the celebration, well done!

America12 · 02/03/2023 15:04

Congratulations 🎉

newfriend05 · 02/03/2023 15:05

Well done ,I would be dancing around the front room 👏🏻👏🏻

Mary28 · 02/03/2023 15:11

I did something similar with a language subject a number of years ago in order to qualify for a college course. It's an amazing feeling. I've never worked so hard for anything in my life before or since. The college degrees were a lot easier somehow. Well done to you, it's a lot to be proud of on a number of levels. Fair play!

KatherineJaneway · 02/03/2023 15:12

Well done you!

JenniferBarkley · 02/03/2023 15:15

That is fantastic, well done you. You should be very very proud of yourself. Skip away!

CountZacular · 02/03/2023 15:15

Woo! Congratulations 🍾
