As long as you learn from it, a 'dissapointing' set of grades isn't bad. Next time you'll know you need to put in more effort, try different ways of revising, start earlier etc. Also, if you've got what you need without hardly trying, it's all good anyaway, imagine what you can do next tiem by putting 100% in Chin up! The wise man has spoken .. You sound just like a teacher Lol .. Learn from my misakes and pick myself up and try again thats the only thing I can do,, Im making it sounds like its the end of the world haha but yer true, just gotta try and then try harder .. See what comes of it ! I revised by doing little chunks at a time - not trying to learn too much, but making sure what you were revising really went it my head. That way, I found I concentrated more and learnt more as well - but different methods work for different people, and I would hope your teachers would be able to advise you if you asked them

GCSEs are tests made up by very silly people to see if you know how to say 'I have a cat named keith' in French, and if you can work out if Sanjeev has distributed his sweets evenly between himself, his disabled friend Gary, and token oriental Kim Ji Sun on a train travelling east at 140 mph from Swindon or not.

See what comes of it ! Lol nice comparison! ...I thought it was the end of the world this time last week when my results didn't turn out like I'd hoped, but as you say, you've just got to accept it, learn from it and move on. If you want to resit maths, the college you're going on to will probably let you do it there, it might even be a good idea to do intermediate tier (that's what I did, and I scraped a C) if possible. Anyway; don't worry about it too much, and chill before you start college

I remember those days - long long ago, we do it a bit differently over here; however, you basically finish with either a college preparatory diploma or a general studies diploma.
I ended up as second highest in my graduating class & had great fun at college - college, those were the day's. Sometimes wish I could go back, but time marches on.
Good Luck to all you youngsters who are either getting into college or are already there - enjoy every last minute of the ride. Because before you know it it's over & real life begins, with a JOB, MORTGAGE PAYMENTS, ETC. ETC. ............. but it's all good!! ;D
