My GCSE Results. YAY :D

6 subjects, what sort of school limits you to 6 GSCE's, are you including double awards in Science and English Lit and Lang?

And wtf is a half a GCSE
 
lol

well

We did...

English language
English literature
Maths
History
Geography
Technology
Citizenship (gov't forced, only worth half a GCSE)

And then ICT and Science at GNVQ, which apparently don't count for shit

And yeah computer games programming is pretty specific, I'd hope.

I did a shit ton or research into that. It's highly variable depending onwhat uni you do it at, some are already 5 years behind the times. Also, try and keep up with the industry as much as you can independently and not necessarily trust your lecturers like they are Jesus.

My web design teacher tought us methods which are ridiculed in the industry, despite the fact as a freelancer he was earning six figures a year. Remember when you come out of uni employers will consider it your fault if you are not up with the times.
 
It's so much easier if you just measure grades as a percentage. :/

Also I would share my grades with you guys but you'd probably get jealous so I won't!! hahahahahaaa

A* = 90%
A = 80
B = 70
C = 60
D = 50
E = 40
U = 1
X = 0

(A-level)

At GCSE you can get A*, ABCDEFGUX

You can either do higher teir (only get A*, ABC), intermetiate (BCD) or foundation (CDE). Any grade not in their (of ABCDEFG) is a fail.

Awesome Bro

Hmm wyatt, in my ol' school, we just had Higher and Foundation... my GCSE's weren't too bad actually;

English Language: C
English Literature: D
Maths: C
Science: A, B, B
- Biology: A
- Chemistry: B
- Physics: B
IT: C
Religous Studies: D
Business Studies: C x2 (Dual Award, yay me !)
Citizenship: C

Now, these are iffy, I mean, I was predicted A* on my Maths exam, and, well... I fell asleep 20 minutes in, and it was a two hour exam (I was up all night playing CoD4 until 4:30am, the exam was at 8:30am...)

And for Business Studies, my teacher hated me and my mate, since we never did anything, and just went on games all lesson, we had coursework too, and both got U's in them, and she said it was hopeless, there was no way we'd pass the exam, and said we have the choice to just flunk it, or try the exam, although there's a really REALLY low chance of us passing... and well, we both passed with C's, told her that she was retarded and her lessons were meaningless on the last day, yay us.

Aaaand the rest are just meh.

Edit: Oyeah, about the D in English Lit... SHAKESPEARE SUCKS DONKEY !
