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

I don't understand how i ended up with hardly any GCSEs compared to most people.
4A's, 3B's and 1C. (two of those are btecs).

Were your btec courses worth the same amount as GCSEs in regards to how many hours a week you had lessons for?

I know many people that took BTECs and were all like 'Yeah, well it's worth 3 GCSEs!', simply because they had triple the amount of lessons for that subject compared to regular GCSEs.

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

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.

Year 9 -
RE Short Course - D

Year 10-
BTEC Performing Arts - Distinction* (2x A*'s)
BTEC Art & Design - Distinction* (2x A*'s)
BTEC Media Studies - Distinction* (2x A*'s)
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

[Mr-Trainor]

Mine were very mixed, I got AAABCCCCD - the A's being in Maths, Additional Science and English Language .

[MKR&*42]

2 As
4 Bs
2 Cs
1 D

no im sure i had 10 gcses, it was prob 3 Cs

[dbgtz]

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.
I ended up doing Music, Science and Maths for 3 years instead of 2

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
