Good luck to all who still have exams to go :pray:
My sister is sitting her AS levels, so I have a good idea what you're going through!

My GCSEs were in 1993. My parents never rewarded us for good work, but when I got my grades, they asked me if there was any treat I'd like and I chose a goldfish. He lived in a bowl for a short while, then I felt sorry for him and put him in the pond.

Something to bear in mind... the week before I picked up the results, I was flying home from my summer work experience, and I wondered if the plane crashed, I'd never have to pick up my results. Immediately, I realised what a selfish thought, and I realised my priorities had become lost somewhere between sitting GCSEs and picking up the results.

Nevertheless, a day before my A-level results in 1995, I had a fleeting thought of how many times would I have to drive round the roundabout in my mini, before a lorry crushed and killed me so I'd never have to pick up the results. Again, I realised I'd lost perspective.

Yesterday, I sat the most important exam of my life so far. It was in 3 parts, and after the first part, I was convinced I'd failed, and I wanted to leave the college, and not sit the next 2 parts. Luckily, 2 friends made me stay. I passed :)

Just to remind you all, that

1- Exams arent the most important thing in your life, and
2- If you're anything like me, you've probably done a lot better than you imagine.


You'll all be in my prayers the next few weeks :prayer:

Hey Guys! Just thought I'd pop in and let you know you're all in my prayers :) Exams can be scarey, but no need to be, God's got an incredible plan, however well you do :D *Cheesy, I know... BUT IT'S TRUE! :D*

I just thank God it was maths I flunked and not any of the subjects I needed for Divinity :D:p

that P3 paper was HORRIBLE i thought - some questions were alrite but some were some nearer the end were awful!
i think everyone i spoke to after found it hard so that made me feel a bit better - i feel like even if i had done more revision i wouldnt have been able to do any better with those questions.
oh well, hardest exam ive got done now.

Well, hopefully this means that they'll lower the grade boundaries. They can't have everybody failing, after all! :)
