Please help

1. I will be taking the GCS examination(s) in the coming year.

2. I want to get a good result OR good results in my A-level GCS examinations.

I am not familiar with the GCS examination(s) since we don't have them in Canada but it stands to reason that if there is more than one exam it is plural and if there was only one examination it would be singular.

From your last sentence you seemed to have decided that there is more than one examination so you want to get good results

I want to get good results in my A-level GCS examinations.
