GCSE = General Certificate of Secondary Education

by **Blaze** Sun Sep 12, 2010 12:56 am

Sounds like it's really hard

by **Trick** Sun Sep 12, 2010 12:59 am

Nah, it's not that bad. I'm only worrying for my Biology GCSE right now. I'm so bad at Biology.

by **SuperLoki** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:00 am

Not really, Blaze. You get grades.

A* - A - B - C - D - E - F - U - X

A* is the best, C is average, F is usually a fail, U is un-graded, and X is a pretty much epic fail. C-Ds are a pass, but you need probably 5 Cs to get into a decent college.

It's fairly easy to get Cs, as long as you make *some* effort, and EVERYONE does.

I love my Physical Science class so far, we've been doin crosswords alot lately Laughing

by **Trick** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:01 am

I'm aiming for A's and nothing below. A 'B' is a fail in my eyes, a sign you're striving to work hard. Btw Rebecca, you can get G's now.

by **Blaze** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:02 am

Is A* like A+?

by **Vektrix** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:03 am

I got 3 B's and 3 C's.

by **Trick** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:03 am

Yeah. I don't care that much if it's A or A*. Same thing in my opinion.

Vek: What subjects did you do? Are you happy with the results?

by **TyrannoFan** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:03 am

I'd probably get B's, or at least C's.

If I'm lucky, I might get A's.

Most of us in our school are predicted to get A's in nearly all subjects. Not meaning to sound snobby Sad

by **SuperLoki** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:05 am

A* = A+/A++

I was aiming and predicted all A's, and 1 or 2 B's. But, I was too laid back and relaxed, I didn't work hard enough. While I got the best grades in my family, with some A-C's, I was seriously disappointed in myself.

And my friends were really ****ed off when they heard I only got a B for Art. Damn coursework. Quality is more important than Quantity.

by **TyrannoFan** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:06 am

I predict most of the people in my school will get D's and C's. Some may get B's. There aren't many smart people, despite it being a "Science School".

by **Blaze** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:06 am

Ok cool, thanks becks

Indeed.

by **Vektrix** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:20 am

English Literature, English Language, French, German, Geography and Mathematics I got at C and above. I was not happy with that.

by **TyrannoFan** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:22 am

I see you are perfectionists, Vek and Becks.

by **MilkAndCookies** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:22 am

From 1st to 6th grade I had pure A´s. At grade 6 I had to B´s, one was maths and the other one was music. That music teacher hates me.

by **Aletrius** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:23 am

When I did GCSE, there was no such thing as the A* grade. The highest you could get was an A.

A* do seem a little silly :/

by **Aletrius** Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:39 am

They are just the official recognition of how easy the exams are being made now. Back when I did them you actually had to work to get a C.

Same.

I think you could get A* when I took 'em in the mid 90's. But I am not sure.

by **Xaesheir** Sun Sep 12, 2010 2:49 am

Got C or above in: English, English Literature, Maths, Science, Additional Science, Applied ICT (2 GCSE's), Media Studies, Music.

No A's because I slacked off a huge load once I was guaranteed my Apprenticeship D:

by **Arkanay** Sun Sep 12, 2010 3:42 am

A great problem in Portugal ( don´t know about other countries ) is that the majority of other students I´ve known cheat a lot in exams and some teachers don´t even seem to care :-/

By taking secret papers on the sleeves, checking stuff on the phone, hiding stuff in a dictionary, etc.

I for once never did that. I´d rather have my honest average grade than cheating my way into something undeserved. Unfortunatly, there are few people that think this :-/

by **Blaze** Mon Sep 13, 2010 8:32 am

I only cheat on occations, like when math problems are 3b+(7-3u x 2q)
