Hey all, don't know how many of you live in England are just getting your GCSE's through, but i've just got mine so I thought i'd make a thread on it!

My results;

Science - B
Science double award - B
English - B
English Literature - A
Maths - B
Geography - B
Business Studies - C (Not sure how that happened as in my mock I got an A*)
Art - C

And finally ICT - A

Hope everyone is happy with their results, i'm over the moon as I got what I needed to get into college

Nice one Avenged, I see you're a maths person =]
We could have done Religious Studies, but they cut it out for my year, so I never got to do it unfortunately.

Ok then, remembering that our grading system is completely different from the english gcse's:

SG English: 2
INT 2 computing studies: A
SG Maths: 1
SG Technical Studies: 1
SG Graph Comm: 1
SG Geography: 1
SG Administration: 1

Umm hopefully that means something to you guys ^^, i don't fancy explaining the system.

Is one Highest or lowest?

 

[-fedexer-]

1 is the highest , umm a 1 i believe is like a GCSE A give or take.

1 -2 is a credit << best
3 - 4 is a general
5 -6 is foundation (couldn't obtain this as i wasn't sitting any foundation levels)
7 ... you've failed.

Mine fucking sucked, although I got the GCSE's i wanted where i wanted most for A Levels:
Maths: A (needed for double maths)
RS: A
English Lit: A

Biology: B in both exams, my E in coursework brought me down to a C (they fucked up our coursework and never gave us the other part of it in all sciences)
Physics: B in both exams, overall C
Chemistry: C in foundation, max marks (Teacher helped us with our coursework in this class ;-))

Got C's in everything else, where as I got B's in almost everything in the mocks, so I dropped a grade in finals which is rather depressing. Including a C in my Welsh GCSE I did 2 years earlier

Only one I got a D in was ICT because they left us without a teacher for 1 and a half year so i failed my second coursework, losing out my 30%, was predicted A*

Overall, I wish I picked up a book now, but never mind I got the A's where i needed, so I shall take it from there and hopefully do better in my A levels in a better school .

I'm not sure how I got the English ones, I slept through the majority of the lessons, reminder to any year 10's starting, games are fun, but not when they make you fall asleep the next day! Lol.
