  • I'm taking my GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) exams this summer, compulsory exams to be taken at the end of year 11 (age 16 - though I'm taking them a year early, I'm 15). I'm taking higher (grades A*-D) in every exam (you can also take foundation, grades G-C). My timetable of exams..
  • [Percentage indicates the percentage of the final grade that exam accounts for. Some subjects are just one paper, others are two, three or four. Most subjects include coursework too, which accounts for 20-60%.]
  • [Prediction is what I think I got based on my thoughts at the end of the exam.
  • Exams are graded A* A B C D - typically, 85% is A*, 75% is A, 65% is B, but this varies greatly (eg English A* is 90%; Physics just 65-70%).]

Oh, you learn French? C'est sublime! :)

Good luck for your exams!

Wezzo06/08/2006

I do indeed, but it's the subject I'm worst at! Ah well, can't be good at everything..

Thanks for the support!

534510/28/2006

that's very big-headed of you!

Wezzo11/25/2006

Er.. I didn't intend it to come across that way.

Martin198306/23/2006

Hah hah hah....I should have done something like this for my GCSE and ALevel and degree exams.

Wezzo06/23/2006

Yep, you should have! :-D

Martin198308/24/2006

I'll be the first to congratulate you on your outstanding results! (Outstanding as in 'brilliant,' not as in 'uncompleted')

Have you seen my degree results list (not that it's worth reading)?

Wezzo08/24/2006

Thanks very much! No, I haven't, I'll go have a look.

Rushmore08/24/2006
