GCSE Results :)

[DieselShaq]

Jason you always get top notch grades. Im going to go for all A*'s in 6th form because no way am I wasting two years of my life just to go in there and mess around.

CCEA released their results today although I only do English and Maths with them, rest of thursday.
English - A
Maths - B

That's not true, Paul, my grades in previous years weren't that great, though it's probably because my teachers don't really like me.

Does the A* in AS/A level system kick in next year? I've done German and Maths AS and will go for 4 more Maths modules as well as physics, chemistry and biology AS this year. Still deciding on whether to take further AS or further A for Maths.

Strangely enough, I think I'm the only person in the grade to get higher in English language instead of either the same or lower than literature... People in the other classes are complaining that their teachers killed their coursework.

omg how are people getting A's and A* i know for sure i wont get A's got some smart people on the forum

I know I've done bad in Astronomy and RS because I just can't do RS and in Astronomy our teacher didn't go through everything so no one in my class knew what most of the paper was about.

Yeah, I'm the first year who can get A* at A2, next year. It's alright for you but annoying for me because although I was only a few marks off straight As which is the highest grade atm you'd need 90% for A* next year and none of my exams were that high my higest was 86% Although I got 90%+ in some modules and 100% in one.

Ah well, I'll do my best

You only need to get 90% aggregated in the A2 Modules (270/300), and 80% overall over the whole course (480+/600) for A*. So your still on for it in all of your subjects really. Eg. you could get 210/300 at AS (grade B), but then get 270/300 at A2 (grade A), which would give you an A*.

I'm glad i was last year without A*s because it means you can't slack off at A2 if your going for an A*.

God how are people getting A*'s seriously? :S I'm looking to get mostly B's and a few A's possibly lol. Can anyone who did GCSE's last year tell me what they got compared to their predicted grades?
