Thursday 25th 2011 is a dreaded day for teenagers across the UK. GCSE Results day. Children must travel to school, as a man to the gallows, and collect a slip of paper bringing either good tidings or tears.
This thread is for people to share and compare their grades if they so wish.
I, for one, will be posting mine on here, however embarrassing they may be.
This thread is also for those older that would like to post the grades they got previously. Be it GCSE or O levels. Anyone is welcome to post grades of foreign equivalent (15-16 y/o).

So either tomorrow or Friday I will post up my expected grades and my final results together and I hope some others join in (:

I got... 11. After subtracting CCA grades, and my Higher Chinese, I got 7. Yeah. That's last year though.

[Gemn]

Oh wow I do not understand the numbers... D: I thought they'd be marked in like A/B/C etc... ? :s What do the numbers mean?? xx

[iHena]

Well, here's Singapore's way of marking. (Lecture, lol)

Grades are as follows, A1, A2, B3, B4, C5, C6, D7, E8, F9. D, E and F are fail grades.

What we do is pick 5 or 6 best subjects, depending on where we want to go. (Diplomas, or A levels.)
A language subject and a Humanities subject is needed, at least. I think a Maths subject is needed too, I can't remember.

So, we add them up. That's how I got 11, I used 6 subjects to calculate. (FYI, I got A2 for my language, A1s for 2 Maths, B3 for Humanities subject, and A2s for my sciences. 2+1+1+3+2+2=11.)

Then, after that, we see a student's other results. CCA grades, a Higher language, and a Third Language. Depending on your grades, points are subtracted from the final raw score.

In my case, I had a A1 for CCA (Minus 2 points) and I passed my Higher Chinese (My higher language, minus 2 points). Hence, 7.

Um, no I think he's from America? Not too sure on that, lol.

Anyways, tomorrow I will also be lifting my results. I'll post them up here too if I get the chance.
Aw man, I'm really nervous about these. I think I done okay but the results could say different. I've definitely failed Spanish, it wasn't all my fault either and I blame the teacher mostly because he was a useless prick and couldn't teach any of us for shit.

[HiddenStar]

YAY! I love blaming teachers As soon as I got a bad teacher, I just tried harder in both her classes so that i could get moved out of her set . It worked .

My French teacher refused to give me extra lessons because I'm good at French but I'm lacking in vocabulary... Basically means that if I knew any French I would be okay... My best French mark was 50% D: my absolute worst subject... x
Anyway I'm going to bed now because I have to get up at 4am for my trip back to school... (_ _ )zzZZ

We have the HSC here.

It's based on projects/tests throughout the year then big tests at end of year.

I'd probably put some effort into it now though.

[Daimyo_Crusher]

Well, the results are in!

I got:

English Language: B
I.C.T: A
Double Award Science: BB (I was never given individual grades for them)
Religion: A

So how did everyone else get on?

I would like to also say good luck to those who are still getting results

Does this mean low numbers are good?

ps. Is Jask from England??

You take that many classes per semester??

My equivalent for my 16 y/o year was:
Calculus AB AP: A (95%)
English Composition AP: A* (98%)
AP US History: A* (118%)
Environmental Sciences AP: A* (99%)
Psychology and Studies AP: A* (102%)
Spanish 1: B* (89%)

Fuck you Mrs. Jonsson... My only "regular" class and she gave me an 89%. Funny part? I got 100% on every assignment, but she gave me a C on my speaking final because she "didn't like the way I spoke it."

Yeah, low numbers are everything in Singapore. No idea how that came about.
