I just got my GCSE results today, I'm pleased with them. Science (Double Award) A*A*English Language A English Literature A Mathematics A Electronics AFrench BHistory C Drama C For anyone not in the know the highest you get is A*, then A, B, C, D, E, F, G then U (unclassified)C and above are high grade passes and are what colleges tend to look at for A-levels, they'll want 5 Cs plus either a C or a B in their specific subject, for sciences they also like a C in maths. With these grades I can get into all of my A-level courses next year (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Maths, English Language.)

You got an A* in double science and they didn't notice this and move you onto triple science? Odd. Well done though, fine results. No doubt half the country will now tell you that you are an idiot and in there day cos they failed their exams yours are worthless

All i remember about my GCSE's is a distinct lack of effort and getting six, yes six, that were one mark below the next grade up. Incidentally, i found this amazing fact out when having a meeting with my old schools Headmaster about going on to attend the schools sixth form which had rather stringent entry requirements...

Well I only got 9, wanted to do ten and could have done another.
For humanities I was one of the few people to select history & geography, not enough people chose it so it didn't happen, I just did history.
I did French but they also wanted me to do German, I wasn't very good at German so I dropped it.
Thanks for the well dones, ect, I was dreading getting some of these results and though I was hoping for Bs in history and drama but I'm very happy with a C, getting the A in electronics (which I felt to be my weakest subject and thought I'd be lucky to get a C) more than made up for it

No way are you a craddle snatcher Ambersalamander. You just have a taste for the younger life.
Well Done giggy.

I did poo, which was very unexpected and in the paper today it said that our headteacher is sending all the papers back to be re-marked because alot of the results were the opposite to what was expected so I won't know what I got for definite til the end of september.

Clearly I'm approaching the 'aged' category of life. But in my day GCSEs were called O'Levels. Spoke to a retired Head-Teacher recently who insists that O'Levels were almost the equivalent of the modern A'Level. But what do Teachers know? A'Level grades have improved every single year for the last 24 years. Fact. Friend of mine at Uni - most intelligent person I've ever met - said that at his School in Greek in the 2nd year of A'Levels they were given an exam paper every week for the 2nd year. Not that he knew it, they had to do the 1954 A'Level (or equivalent Matriculation Paper) in the first week. The 1955 vintage in the 2nd. and so on, and so on. By the end of the year, they were so f'ing good they all used to score 90%. it became embarrassing, so, for fun, the Teacher used to bung in Oxbridge Finals papers for a laugh. The Government says 'Standards are being maintained'. Clearly I'm approaching the 'aged' category of life.
