I got:

5Cs, 3Ds, 1E, 1F, 1U

Cs - German, Chemistry, Biology, ICT, Maths

Ds - English lit/lang Physics

E - RE

F - Art

U - Systems and Electronics

 

[dysfunction]

What is the percentage rate for A, B, C, d etc?

In South Africa an "A" was for getting 90% correct.

 

[old.UKTwister]

Science (Double Award) = B,B

D&T Resistant Materials = D

Geography = B

Maths = B

R.e = B

German = C

English Literature = A

English Language = A

ICT = A*

 

[Deadmanwalking]

That is dif for each subject. And also for each year.

IE: For maths they set the grade boundaries after all been marked.

It's between 70 and 80 percent here, but it's dependent on the subject. Easier = higher percentage for an A.

 

[Deadmanwalking]

Like i said though most of the subjects use the same system as maths. So from year to year a similar test can mean dif boundaries.

 

[dysfunction]

Oh ok...

In SA the % band remains constant for all subjects and years.

But if you just take "easy" subjects then you have no hope in hell of going to Uni or College after school.

Like if you dont take maths you could never go into any science related field in Uni. Only Arts type degrees.

If you want to go into a science related career you have to do a science related degree.

Sucks a bit cos you kinda have to start choosing a career when in school!!

 

[Deadmanwalking]

Yeah but they also stay in "school" till they are 18, yeah?

As in here it's more common to go to a seperate college till 18 to do A-Levels.

Yes thats right. The school qualification is not quite as good as A-Level but its almost the equivalent.

 

[Deadmanwalking]

That's weird as i am more then likely (Results permitting) off to either UCT or UPE after A-levels. They seem to love English qualifications (GCSE', A-levels etc) and i can go over with pretty medicore Results and still have my pick of places.

 

[Jonny_Darko]

I got:

A*: Media Studies
A: Maths
A: French
B: English Lit
B: English Lang
B: Biology
B: Psychology
B: Geography
B: General Studies
C: Computer Studies
D: Latin
E: Chemistry

Not this year though...
Yes, I did 12 GCSE's. No wonder I didn't meet enough girls at that age...

 

[Deadmanwalking]

Hah, one of my friends got 7 A*'s, 4 A's and a B.

But your right he is a complete loser when it comes to girls.

Go to UCT if possible...Cape Town is a much nicer place than PE!!

 

[Teh Krypt]

Im doing my GCSES next year, but done some of the moduler exams and last years English paper...

Physics - A (1 mark off A* dam it )
Chemistry - A
Biology - A
English - B (They don't mark English on spelling now or something? )
Maths - B

 

[newborn]

a few year back i got

maths and physics - a*
french, chemistry, biology and english lang - a
geog, history, english lit, inf systems - b

the only subjects i did real amounts of work for were the ones i got a b in. that still confuses me. still meant i got good grades AND enjoyed a healthy sex life. even had time during study leave to finish doom 2 on ultra violence.

 

[~Mobius~]

3b's
5c's
Rest not worth mentioning.

I got into 6th form anyway.

hehe you people say your grades are shit when you got 3 A* and the rest A and B, you should live where i live, not getting at least 1 D makes you a fucking genius.

 

[Clowneh!]

Who's "you lot"?

 

[Embattle]

GCSE's are over hyped by the media, teachers, etc and yet they are one of the most meaningless qualifications in existance.

"You lot" - Scum like you Clowneh

thats worse than my DEE (ICT, Physics, Chemistry)

 

[Clowneh!]

Oh, wait. I got a 'D' in Physics. My bad.
And "you lot" like me who says, "LONG TIME AGO" instead of "OGMMS SHIIT GRAUUDS"

 

[lovedaddy]

way back when, I think I got 11 higher grades (most a's & bs, 2 c's I think). Oh, and an E in french =)

then went onto a-levels, bccc.

2:1 degree.

And I've never been once asked about them in any job interview. Not ONCE.

If they had given out M grades at a-level, my mate would have been able to spell EMU. He went onto uni anyhow, got a masters in chemistry, and is now doing his PhD in Japan (doing research of some descript). All very strange.

Another mate got something crazy like 13 a's and a*s at GCSE. Only scrapped past his a-levels. Dropped out of uni during his change over year. He then went onto get a job as a network admin for a large retail chain, after working his way up from the shop floor. Was driving a 320i BMW company car at the age of 21.


Basically, dont take results as given, there are many many different skills that exam results dont take into consideration.

Few years ago, the best result for me was English, as am dyslexic, getting a C was a huge achievement.

 

[~Mobius~]

I was very proud of my C in Maths ... in the 2 mocks I did before I was a few marks away from ungraded.
My teacher was really happy too. She worked hard to help me.
