What grades do you need in GCSE to go into Sixth Form

[Unbilotitled]

Thanks.

[Soka]

usually just 5 grades A*-C
including maths/english/science/ict or something like that
to progress onto as levels

not hard tbh.

[Elkaa]

5 C's at mine, some are different though.

[dirrty]

yep 5 c's according to my college. but there are some people in 6th form who got less than 5 c's and they were accepted.

[kk.]

varies from college to college and if its in high demand then they go up
at mine its 2 B's 3 C's minimum

[Unbilotitled]

Are C's easy? as im doing

B studies
Resistant materials
ICT FULL COURSE
Sociology

[kk.]

yeh if you work reasonably hard and revise. make sure you get good marks in your coursework

[YoManGo!]

the equivalent of 5 B s (asif that is filtered...)
it's on this point scheme where like all the grades are worth a certain amount of points
and so once youve got enough to reach the same amount of points as 5 ** would get you youre in.

[drama]

at the top college here you need 5 a's :(

[Virgin Mary]

Mine was 5 Cs but now it's 5 B's, if you don't get Maths or English then they usually make you retake them

it looks a lovely place. when i went for my interview it felt a good place. But if i go, only 2 or 3 of my friends are going cause i live in West Bridgford if you know where that is.

[Virgin Mary]

Loads of people come from different schools and don't know anybody and you don't get put in classes with people you know either. Did you go to that west bridgford comp or something?

yus. ah right. i usually find it quite easy to make friends so should be ok.

[sim]

at my school its 5 A*-C's with a B in any subject you want to take, unless its a new one like Pysch or Politics

[Abbie.]

i got 2B's and 5Cs and i got in fine lol

[alexxxxx]

I think it's 5 A-Cs but i haven't a clue tbh.

[GommeInc]

Doesn't matter, it varies according to subject and if you get in without the associated grades, they'll put you into GCSE English or whatever GCSE you failed at.

That's what mine did at least :S

[today]

Was 5c's at mine but too many people can get that so its been changed to i think
you need two B's now rest c's.

[Dr.Rdx]

At my 6th form it's 8 A*-C's with 5 A*-B's in the three sciences, Maths and English :(

Also, A* or A in the chosen A level subjects :P

But it's probably a lot easier into other 6th form/colleges (Y)

Ditto.
But why stay at school for 1 - 2 years longer when you hardly learn any working life knowledge where as college has more real life situations with a much more variety of courses.

[Ugawa]

7 A* - C Grades

Including:

a must have C or higher in :
English
Maths
Science


But because im doing Law I need a B in English

Im doing Art to so a B in art as well
XX

[Kardan]

Was 5 C's at mine which was relatively easy for me considering I had a A* and a B before I was even in Year 11...

[today]

My 6th Form is not in school its a seperate building/area in a different location, actually in town! ;)

[Karma]

At the college am going to go to its 6 A*-C for 4-Alevels and because doing Accounting and Maths you need a grade B at maths GCSE or A-A* for further maths

[Frodo13.]

5 A*-C at my Sixth Form. They only let ONE person in who didn't get that. That person actualy burnt down the Sixth Form when we was in Year 10, and was apparently 'traumatised' by it, so allowed in.

[Abbie.]

it depends whether its a grammar or not though

the grammar beside my school is 16 points to get back in, which is mostly A's

Same here, I have a B and 2 As before I start the GCSE exams so I think I'm pretty safe :P

I have only got 2BS up to now before the GCSE exams start :( LOL

[Tristan]

I want to do Human Biology but apparently it needs a minimum of a B in Eng. Language to do. And I've been put on Foundation for English... :neutral:
What the hell? Biology only needs a C, so I don't see why it's different for the human side.
Law, prefers to have a B at Eng. Language.

5 A*-C grades needed.
Bit weird considering it's a college in the Top 5 of the country, lol. :P

[Throne Sofa]

Usually 5 A*-C and C's in English & Maths.
Some sixth forms have specific requirements eg 5 A*-B's or the best sometimes even require 5 a-a*.
B's aren't always required in the subjects that you want to continue on at A-Level, however it's probably reccomened.
