GCSE Time

[shiato storm]

Yer only problem is that most employers are old gits like me and 0id who did GCEs about 20 years ago and have a strong suspicion about the validity of GCSEs. The strong belief that the bar has been lowered to make stats look better. Which is unfair to those who genuinely work hard and achieve good grades.

...sort of justified point there by RVF. i think the same can be said for A-levels. back when I did them they seemed to be worth more than they are now.

Science Double award (was doing triple): AA
Maths: B
English Lit: C
English Lang: C
French: B
ICT short course: C (<<< thats what happens when u know IT but dont submit the coursework )
Design Technology: D (again, i didnt submit the coursework)

I collected my results for the Year 10 tests, since my RE (long course) and Double Science are modular, although it obviously doesn't compare to the results I'll be getting next year. Pleased to say that I got 91% (A*) in RE and (even better) 100% in Science. You can all call me a geek/swot/whatever now.

modules are piss easy with 10 minutes revision mate i walked into science with mainly A's in modules and i didnt revise
