Anyone else getting the pre-results jitters?

It's that time of year again! I get really nervous about results every year. I have horrible worst case scenario thoughts and can only be calmed by obsessive data crunching... I re-analyse the data from my classes with various what-if scenarios. this is weird, isn't it?

My GCSE is Performing Arts and it's 60/40 controlled assessment/practical exam. For the exam, it's 57/60 for an A, which is 95%. 58/60 for A* and 56/60 is B.

A levels at my school went well. We have a tiny 6th form but pass rate was 100%. Relief all round!

ARGH...UCAS website has been broken all day! For advisers, not applicants so we could not see anything! Just had to wait for students to call in or e-mail and tell us what their status was.

Also our school's spreadsheet of results was not fully accurate Blush.

Alevels here went well, phew, in both subjects i teach Grin
and overall, we have a huge sixth form and A*-B up and very very few fails.

A Levels went well for my subject... 69% A*-B. There was one D and nothing lower than that.

AS were solid but not spectacular. Phew!

Well that went much better than expected! Having said that I woke up at 5.30am and thought I'd already been into school and got their results from eAqa as I'd had such a vivid dream!

I was on eAQA at 6 to see that the kids had all passed with decent grades so when I went into school at 9.30 I felt OK.

I hate the fact if a kid is lazy, unmotivated or opts out we still have to account for why they haven't got a certain grade. Why don't the powers that's be accept teachers could do everything for these kids but unless they actually do some work themselves they will not pass/reach a target? Aaagghh!

This is my second year of GCSE results. I am so nervous. It is a hundred times worse than getting my own exam results.
I teach English in a school for boys with social, emotional and mental health difficulties and the current year 11 are my tutor group so double the emotional involvement. Some of them didn't write much....

I've just read that results in my subject will be "volatile" this year. Now I'm crapping myself. Sad
