A topic for gcse's and none for As/ A2 levels?

As results out this thursday, I think gcse's are usually a week after As / A2 results so probs next thursday

Your scripts will have been marked by now though, our school usually get the raw marks (not grades) a week before the grades are released so there's nothing that can be done now (not that there was anything that could be done)

And don't worry bout gcses, your future employers wont give a toss about them, they mainly care about what you did in uni

Bah, these As results determine whether or not I can apply for cambridge....so I'm just gonna stop thinking about it for now :cry:

Likewise, these GCSE results dictate if I can go to one of the best college's in my area, a choice which could affect my A-Level results, which could affect my place at university.

So in a sense they are quite important :ninja:

i get mine on 25th. i did no revision apart from in school. in my mocks the only one i really screwed up on was Geography, i got a C when i was meant to get a A. but that was without coursework as well. so im not really worried, just worried at the fact that i took half the required time and spend most of the exams sat around doing sod all. good luck though to everyone and with their A-Levels.

Good luck to you (Y)

Make sure you tell us how you do :)

1 week until I cry  :cry:

heh, thanks

they marked us really nicely, so that probs means that next week when gcse's come out....you won't be dissapointed :)

But woo, the wait be over. Counterstrike tonight and then onto uni applications :wacko:

And don't worry. The trend I've been finding is that this year people are always doing better than they expect

I'll have my fingers crossed for you guys next week :D

Im not too worried about receiving them, its the fact am i going to be awake...im going up to my old school to pick them up cause i moved, which means im seeing all my friends who i havent seen for 2 months (yay)......and hopefully, we can get a big pi$$up on the wednesday night....hahahahahaha. Good luck everyone

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.
