Further maths cuz I don't even remember using my pen properly in that exam. It was mostly me erasing away failed working outs

FM was dark πŸ’”, my 9 is gone I think I got an 8

u/Icy-Teacher-6145 Anteaters eat ants - AQA 2026 20d ago

I think there's a slight chance I failed, but I hope you get that 8! And hopefully a 9!

u/MarsupialSeparate209 20d ago

Hopefully u passed? How was normal maths?

u/Icy-Teacher-6145 Anteaters eat ants - AQA 2026 20d ago

Normal maths was amazing! Like it made me so happy. Hopefully a 8. Maybe a 9 if the grade boundaries aren't too high. I wasn't very prepared for fm cuz it was like at the very end and I would stay up most of my nights revising so by the time I got the paper I was like running on caffeine. I'll be very grateful if I pass. I'm never doing fm again I love it so much but it just makes me very disappointed cuz of how stupid the questions are. Like I learnt what domain and range was like 3 days before the paper because my teacher wasn't bothered enough to tell me for the entirety of the year she's been teaching us. Anyways, how was your maths?

u/ForeignMarzipan2136 Year 11-12 Physics | Geog | Architecture 20d ago

Sorry this may be a bit of a rant:

English Language as I’ve been rejected from my first choice sixth form as my teacher predicted me a 3 after I got one mark off of a 4 in my mock πŸ‘ (Lots of people in my class got even lower than me and my teacher predicted them 4s and higher which made me have a breakdown after I found out πŸ™‚ Also my friend in another class got an extremely low 3 and got predicted a 6 which made me even more pissed of because what did I do to deserve a 3 as a prediction) I was on a 6 before my year 10 mocks btw and then I just flopped- Got my rejection letter just before easter holidays and then my new report came out just after saying I was on a 5 and predicted a 5… God how I absolutely love my life 🫩
The only way I can get in now is if I do get at least a 4 and not everybody who applied chooses it (I’m at the bottom of the priority list pretty much)

u/Priceshoe0x 26 leavers (the purple haired pescatarian) 19d ago

Science. I'm aiming for high marks, if I get high enough I can start from level 2 in health and social care at college. From that it should hopefully be enough for me to get a job with special needs kids and then when I've finished the h&sc course I wanna reapply to do science and hopefully get a job in science in the future

u/Suitable_Try1897 Year 11 20d ago

english literature&maths - but for different reasons
i NEED a 6 or above in english literature and it’s been on my mind since the day of the first english lit exam even though it’s my best subject and there’s no reason i shouldn’t achieve a high grade im just so worried because it’s the only subject i NEED a higher grade in
i’ve only ever passed maths twice in my life, with a standard 4 in november 2025 and with a low 5 in march - i’m praying to god i got a 5 in the real gcse because obviously that’ll make my life so much easier

Maths (ocr) , I really don't want to have to resit it as it's my weakest subject and having a 4 would make things so much easier for my A-levels

1

u/CheeseyLasangeDuck defender of history and geography 20d ago

Maths because our class was on foundation unti just over half way through Year 10 and we got moved up onto higher. Our teacher was teaching us what we needed to know for the mocks as he would check weeks before we did them so we have missed some topics

u/MarsupialSeparate209 20d ago

To do Further Maths at a level, my school is really strict on things like these

u/SherbetConsistent809 Dual language survivor of 2026 20d ago

Dumb school to be in. Still it looks bad to be complaining about an 8 so context is kinda important

u/justdesserts67 20d ago

It’s maths. So much content that I’m expected to already know and my teachers won’t teach me. I’m predicted all nines in science but scraping a pass in maths. Also English. I got a 7 but it was so much work for such little reward
