Oratory1 · 23/08/2018 08:18

Mummy I am expecting some strange ones too - that’s the nature of my ds and tests but this year even more so. I hope you can sort out some a levels your happy with

mummymeister embrace the 7's and review those unexpected lower grades.

TheThirdOfHerName · 23/08/2018 08:18

AlwaysHiding that's wonderful news. Those would be good results for anyone, let alone someone with her health issues.

mmmz · 23/08/2018 08:18

So those grade boundaries for English that I put up yesterday were fictitious. Apologies if I scared anyone with them. If it's any consolation, I probably scared myself more!

mmmz · 23/08/2018 08:19

@AlwaysHid1ng thank goodness! I am so pleased for you and your DD.

JugglingFromHereToThere · 23/08/2018 08:19

Dont worry mmzz - all the IGCSE GB's were real but I think any of the GCSE one's were fake and the actual spacing of the 7-9 grades are as we expected.

TerfTerf2 · 23/08/2018 08:22

Well done on the 7s mummy fingers crossed the school can sort out the Alevels 👍

HesMyLobster · 23/08/2018 08:24

Always that's incredible, huge congratulations to your amazing DD, she's done exceptionally well after everything she's been through! So relieved and happy for you Thanks

LooseAtTheSeams · 23/08/2018 08:24

Always oh that is such good news! Well done!
mummy well done and definitely check anything that looks odd.
DS is up and says he's resigned to his fate!Grin

Stickerrocks · 23/08/2018 08:25

Whathave Look on it as an opportunity. This may open up a route which they hadn't thought of before, studying something new, which may be equally as rewarding. Have you got some back up options? Let us know if there's anything we can help with.

Always I'm so pleased for your DC and the huge amount of resilience she has shown.

We can't get DD's results until 11am, so I'm going to try to keep an eye on what's going on here until I get too nervous. I've got a stack of mechanical work to do (button pressing, rather than using my judgement) and I've been to the paper shop, hung out the washing, filled the car up with petrol and agonised with the manager in Costa whose DD is also waiting for results from the neighbouring school. They get theirs at 9. Only 155 minutes left to go.

Oneteen · 23/08/2018 08:27

justicewomen - well done to your DS.

Stickerrocks · 23/08/2018 08:27

Mummy I think there will be a few curved balls for a lot of us today. The same message applies to you as to whathave. It's opening up new options & exciting opportunities.

Oratory1 · 23/08/2018 08:28

Oops sorry for gobbledygook typing but hope you got the message !

Stickerrocks · 23/08/2018 08:28
