Got extremely poor IGCSE results, Do I even have a future?

Got extremely poor IGCSE results, Do I even have a future?

I really wanted to go to a sub-par elite university. But with these results I'd be happy to go to a local university. I don't know what happen, I just got really bad results, like horrible results.

Should I push harder? Try harder for my A levels? or Should I just give up and stop. I mean I got all As (7s) at school and now this.

My parents are extremely disappointed in me, i have no motivation to go further, frankly im scared to talk to my school mates abt this aswell. I basically failed my IGCSEs.

Mixed feelings about my results

Im really happy about history, bio, and chem, as I expected way less. I went up like 2-3 grades in each of those. In history, im especially proud of myself because last year in the yr 10 mocs, i scored a level 3 ,so to think i improved this much fulfils me a bit. I really thought i was going to fail chem or get a 4 because I couldn't understand a single equation question, which was probably worth over half the marks. Plus, my history teacher said I was 2 marks of a 9 in history, so they're going to check if I should get remarked. Im a bit disappointed about maths,physics, and geography, though. In january Maths moc, I was 1 mark from an 8, so i expected I'd have improved in the real exam. Plus, my teacher said he'd buy anyone who got a 9 a pizza, so oh well. 🤷‍♀️ I also got a 9 in the physics moc, so im sad I moved down a grade. Also, the invigilator accidently gave me like 10 minutes of extra time in the geography exam (and would have given me more if i didnt tell them i dont have access arrangements for extra time) so I thought that gave me more marks atleast on the 8, 6 and 12 marker. I suppose im surprised and a little relieved I still managed to get a 9 in english literature, considering I read the 30 mark question completely wrong in paper 1. Spanish and english language grades were as expected. Im relieved the examiner didn't screw me up in spanish for using bad words and talking about doing drugs. 🙃

Overall, the thing that matters most to me is that my dad isn't mad. I was so scared that i burst into tears the second I showed him my results. Glad his response was "atleast youre not being kicked out of IB" (even though i talked to many teachers and made sure that even if I got all 1s or fails id still be allowed to do IB)

Edit: Also, does anyone know why I can't see my eng language equivalent?

MIDDLE EAST RESULTS ???

There are some really questionable results - what's going on? I was hit less hard but for example, I got straight 9s for 2 years on bio, and they downgraded me to a 7? But my classmates had it so much worse - all the straight 9s students were downgraded to 7s for no apparent reason, even when they were comfortably scoring 90-100%. On the other hand students who were failing suddenly got higher grades? The lowest performing student at my school got an 8 and the highest performing got a 7 in maths.

There's something genuinely rigged with these results. No one seemed to receive what they actually deserved, or were even working at, not even close. I really think there should be a formal complaint regarding this - it's not just 1 or 2 results, almost all of them were horribly downgraded for no reason.

What do you guys think?

HELPPP IDK WHAT IM DOING I’m scared for October exam

I’m having my full three units for math, bio and chem for AS. I’m getting in unit 1 for chemistry usually I’m getting 47-55 marks, for pure 1 math I’m usually getting around the same as chem but for biology unit 1 I’m getting around 45 marks. I’m still revising all the unit 2s and 3s. So idk if I’m on the correct page but help I’m freaking out!!!
