      Congratulations! I’m sure you feel relieved they are over!

      I did pretty badly in German and Drama, but I think I got C grades in most of my GCSEs. I wasn’t very academic in school, as I would rather be outside in nature. It wasn’t until later that I fell in love with science. So while it’s great to get good grades, really don’t worry if you didn’t do as well as you hoped as you can still be a scientist!

      Well done! You must be relieved that they are over. I think my worst subject was actually biology at school, which is funny because that’s what I’ve ended up working in! It just goes to show that how you do at exams at school isn’t always that important to what you work on when you’re older.

      Yay! Well done. That’s such great news, you can now enjoy your summer 🙂
      My worst exam was my maths exam. I pretty much cried on the way into school because I was so nervous. Then I crumbled when the exam started. I had a teacher calm me down and get me a drink. Surprisingly, I managed to do well, I got a B! I never really knew what made me so nervous. Sometimes you have too high an expectation of yourself and it should be said that exams are not the end of the world. P.S I still dislike maths!
