Here we go! It's GCSE results week!

[MaureenMLove]

Are you ready? What's everyone got planned for Thursday? I'm going to my school to check on results, then wait for DD to call me from her school, with her news.

It's going to be an emotional day! Possibly not personally with DD, not expecting any top results, but she does already has Maths and English in the bag. She had what she needs to move forward and that's all that matters.

I have another 120 kids at my school and one or two who I care very much about. Can't wait to be there for them.

DS2 (yr10) took 3 early, as well as the seperate science and Maths modules. Poor thing is really nervous, although sleeping through it ATM! The 3 he took early, History, RE, English Lang are the ones DS1 got 100% in, so he is worried about if he gets lower than an A. I have told him I shall be proud of him whatever, he worked hard, is a bright lad and Science and Maths are his thing, but I don't know, it's become a bit of a competition!

We can't go in until lunchtime because they want the year 11s to have picked up their's first!

Good luck to everyone's DC!

Good luck to everybody waiting for results, I hope you all get what you need.

I have had the call!

5 As
5 B
1 D (french)

She's gutted she didn't get A* for geography or an A for Art. But has done better in english, maths and sciences than expected.

Phew!

Get me! After 6 years, I've made it!

Though, to be fair, anyone starting a GCSE thread, was probably going to be on Discussion of the Day! [gcse]

See? See what it's done to me! I'm putting [gcse] instead of . PMSL. I really need to relax a bit!

I'm getting texts and Facebook messages left, right and centre now. Poor old DD. It's her big day, not mine!

I refuse to put it on my FB status. If people want to know, they have to ring me!

Well done to your DD Taggie.

Right! I'm off! Good luck everyone and remember, there are no problems, just solutions!

I'm off in a minute, too. Aaaagh.

Taggie, that's great. (Will she need to re-take French or did she get another language?)

Well done your dd Taggie. :)

We've got another hour to wait. > >

Well done taggies dd ;)

Am here now. Just waiting for ds to come back out.

Blimey! I guess DS1 and I ahould be getting nervous too But never even thought about it TBH. Oops! He's only in Yr 10 and apart from Maths he hasn't completed any GCSEs - just done modules. If he hasn't got a C in his maths he needs shooting!

I wonder if he knows today is D day......suspect he wouldn't care

Mines gone to collect his - waiting at home (alone) with Mumsnet for company!

Well done Taggie, well done Maureen on Discussion of the Day - outside the school now - am crapping myself - somebody send me a gin!

Well done Taggie, good luck Mrs Cobbit. Here is a to keep you going!

Students here got their results at 1pm (we are in Asia). That's when the exam board allowed the school to send the results out.

Thank you

Whoop he got his C in maths! A's in his A level subjects plus a B and the rest C's!
Absolutely delighted :)
Good luck everyone waiting x

The long and the short of it is that ds has got into college but his results were not what he hoped. He's very upset right now. :(

Well done Umm!

TOWTH - I hope he feels better about it soon. At least he's got his college place. it's a horrid feeling though, bless him.

Ah TOWTH - hope he feels better about it soon. He's into college and in a year or so nobody will care about his results.
Ds was hoping for better in a couple of subjects but he also did better is some so it evened out.

Well, dd1 got just one A...and eight A*s

I'm so so proud of her, bursting with pride. Coming from a family of skint wastrels well, me anyway and overcoming a lot of hardship, I'm absolutely dancing for her. Bloody amazing kid.

Thanks all. I am very proud of her.

B0F. Blimey!

Good luck all.
