a D at GCSE in a subject u dont even want to continue with.....i think u need 2 calm the hell down

1) GCSEs r worthless once u get into A levels

2) its not even in a subject u want to continue in

3) a D isnt even that bad

4) its a mock exam i dont even see wat the problem is it doesnt matter.

ur friends r probs right to be laughing at u for being so melodramatic. just lie to ur dad and calm down

This basically. I left school with absolutely **** GCSE's not gonna lie, does that mean I'm doing nothing with my life? No. I've travelled, I've seen the world and there's so much more to it that a bit of paper. Anyhow there's ALWAYS different routes you can take, I'm going to university in September to train as a midwife, would I have ever thought I was 'clever' enough or good enough to get onto such a highly competitive course, no I wouldn't of. You just need to pick yourself up and get on with it and remember there's always different options you can take no matter what. You'll get to where you want to be eventually and it'll feel SO good!

I was pretty much in your shoes once I finished my GCSEs. I went onto a levels and pretty much ****** them up too. didn't think I'd ever obtain a levels let alone go to university to study what I am. I'm sorry for sounding harsh but you need to get over yourself and try harder, push yourself. believe that you can do it and have a look at your revision techniques and see if you can make any changes to them or use other methods. parents have expectations but you can only achieve what you're capable of. just try your hardest and don't compare yourself to others because then you'll lose focus on yourself. There's so much out there GCSEs aren't the end of the world so don't worry about it and try your best.

I tend to argue the fact that I didn't try my best or didn't study, even if I really did just to avoid embarrassment / the thought of failure . I'd say just explain to your dad that you tried your best but that's if you actually did try your best and aren't just saying that because you're like me and like to make excuses I'm sure he'll understand and even if he doesn't it ain't the end of the world.

Really & truly, I'd say you just ignore them. You know to yourself that you have studied and you tried your best. I can relate majorly to this topic.. Recently I had an exam and failed to attain a good grade. My entire family is basically made up of geniuses. They all performed great academically. I also had to tell a few lies such as "the teacher didn't give us the results yet" etc. But eventually I told them, and they just went off on me. I was distressed. I didn't know what to do, until one day I finally realized how to deal with this. All i told myself was that it all comes down to one thing. You are who you are and they have to accept you for who you are. What has been done, had to be done for a reason. It's over. Nothing you can do to change it and they have to understand that. That's how I've learnt to cope with failure. Hope I helped.. And about your friends.. They should be supporting you and trying to help you instead of just laughing at you.. I wish you all the best in any further exams.

P.S: Don't forget to keep studying & reviewing your work that you do at school. Drink water & get necessary rest to keep your brain healthy!

Sitting down and telling yourself you're going to fail probably is the best way to fail.

Honestly, teachers go on about how much exam results matter and how your whole life will end and you will burn in a pit in hell if you don't get an A*, but this isn't really true. They only say it because if you do badly it makes them and the school look bad.

Just ignore all of them and do what makes you happy.. Or something less cheesy?

Don't worry about it, it's not the biggest deal in the world. These things happen all the time to many people and if you keep worrying, it's only ever going to affect you and stress you out.

Although tbh, GCSE maths is piss easy (and a D isn't that great at GCSE level). You just got to practice some exam techniques and the questions do tend to be similar in one form or another. You have time, so use past papers and keep practicing until you see your weak points and focus on them and then keep doing them till you ace them. Once the exam comes it'll be a breeze.

You say you try hard and that's superb, but think about your revision techniques, those make a huge difference in things like GCSE and crap. But at the end of the day no matter what, you can always pick yourself up and become extremely stressful. A stupid medial GCSE is important for the next stage, but isn't crucial.

I just know my dad will shout, whether it's an unimportant test or not. He'll say I haven't revised enough and that I'm a failure and all this. Last time I did badly in my maths test he said I was gonna go down into "the dummy set" and end up doing nothing with my life. Maths have never been my strong point, and I don't intend to carry on with it after GCSE but he seems to have a go at me however hard I try.

He gives me all this crap about trying my best but when I genuinely do do my best, it still isn't good enough. I thought "yeah, I'll probably scrape a B", instead I got a D, about 30% of the marks. I feel like I've let myself down but I genuinely didn't think I'd do this badly, especially after how much I revised, compared to other people who got A's through doing no revision.

Your dad seems like a right ******* if you ask me.
