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!

YABU: Sit down and weesht, wummun, nobody cares
YANBU: Skip all you like, you gleeful twit

You failed miserably first time.

You didn't give in, set your mind on retaking the exam and passed with a really good grade.
No mistake...you done it.
Skip away..
Congratulations 🎊

Well done! I think biology is really tough as there is so much content to learn. Skipping and fizz sounds perfect.

BensonStabler · 02/03/2023 15:18

Aww 🥰 this was lovely to read. Absolutely be proud of yourself and sing and dance with glee!!

Congratulations on your wonderful achievement🥳

Congrats OP

Reminds me of the one time (and it was only one time) that both the Geography Teacher and myself were surprised that I got 74% our of 100 in a test.

I asked if it was right and she must have thought the same as checked.
Yep, it was a correct score.

EmilyGilmoresSass · 02/03/2023 15:28

As a mature student who has now managed to get to university, which I never thought would happen, I say skip away!

That's huge. I'd buy cake too 😋

Littlefaeries · 02/03/2023 15:43

Congratulations.
I felt the same 15 years ago when i did my maths gcse aged 47, and my tutor met me with her dh one day and told him I was her best pupil that year.
I was so chuffed.

fairtrauchled · 02/03/2023 15:46

Congratulations OP.You skip away as much as you like

squashyhat · 02/03/2023 15:48

Congratulations! I failed my Maths O'level 3 times at school and gave up. Last summer aged 61 I got a grade 5 at GCSE, so top of the Foundation level. I was so proud of myself and told everyone I could think of Grin

I'm firmly in the gleeful twit camp.

Skip away! Also, crack open something serious to drink 😁
Bloody well done x

bloodywhitecat · 02/03/2023 15:52

The cats are jealous, ignore them. This definitely merits a skip or two, well done!

I love this! Well done to you. Boast away. Nice to hear something positive 😊

EllaView · 02/03/2023 16:00

Huge congratulations! There’s nothing better than slaying school-years’ demons. You skip, and cheer, and then collapse in a smugly glowing heap.

Griefgood · 02/03/2023 16:02

You ⭐️!!

redwoodtree · 02/03/2023 16:02
