You and I (oh so modest now) are proof relatively poor GCSEs don't mean much in the long run :LQuote:

If not, I wouldn't be too surprised that people have a lot more GCSEs these days, although 8 is still pretty low. I thought 11 was a lot, and nobdy at my school had more GCSEs than me... And now kids are getting 13, 14, 15 :P
yeah one of the btecs was supposed to be worth 4 gcses. i only class it as one. It's ridiculous how people get so many gcses, unless they are just starting gcses even earlier now? I don't know. Oh well.Quote:

Science - B
Modular Maths - B
English Lit - C
Year 11 -
English Language - A
Science - A
Linear Maths - A (So in maths overall I got an A as the modular exams and the linear are on the same specification)
Retakes/What I expect to get in the exams just done -
English Lit retake - B
English Lit (second exam) - B
English Language retake - A (I got two B's in the exam but I ended up on an A overall and I don't think I've done any better)
Statistics - A
Music - B
French - D/C
Drama - A
So I think around 15 GCSEs :L
Mine were very mixed, I got AAABCCCCD - the A's being in Maths, Additional Science and English Language :P.
2 As
4 Bs
2 Cs
1 D
no im sure i had 10 gcses, it was prob 3 Cs
BTEC Business (eurgh) 4x A*
English language B
English lit C
Physics B
Chemistry C
Biology C
Anything else was lower than a C. One was a U because of my teachers not submitting the coursework and making me do the wrong work altogether (still pisses me off despite being 2 years ago). Probably would have done better also if I didn't miss around 2 months of school so close to exams & if I actually revised.
Quite a lot of schools start GCSEs in year 9 now, my school was one of the first in the area to do it and its benefited a lot of people due to the fact that in the year extra you get you can do resits to get better grades and stuff.Quote:

First of all, good luck with your exams!
Remember to just take it as another piece of work, you already have the knowledge I expect just put it to good use :)
Unlike the advise I have given you above, I messed around at school a lot and didn't listen to anyone.
My Grades were as follows;
English Literature : B
English Language : C
Physical Education : C
Religious Education : C
I/T : C
History : C
Maths : D
Science: D, D (took double science)
Geogrpahy: D
If only I had listened more at school the first 5 years of my working life, would have been so much easier!
Good Luck :D
