Anyone else around here receive their A-level results? I got 4 A's (maths, further maths, physics and computing) and a B (general studies, which I don't care about since they made me take it), plus a merit in the AEA maths.

 

Off to Warwick in the autumn

Onya Dave!....well done! Go out and have a pint or two.

thanks

 

yeah, that day was pretty crazy, had my picture taken for the paper and everything, really wierd

 

(and ofc the drinking)

eh hey, good job;) of course if you'd gotten anything lower than an A on science related stuff we'd have to ban you, but good job!

yah, i'd thought about what would happen here so i thought i'd better actually do a bit of revision before blindly walking into the exams

i made an A in speech class once, that was pretty cool

When I was in highschool, I never had an A in any subject. Doh, how pathetic. I don't think it's cause Im stupid.. well, maybe in the stupid way that I don't want to do my work. Gotta congratulate anyone that does get A's though, way to go. You're awesome.

Congrats dave!!!

 

So in the U.K., they still grade levels using the alphabet? ie. A,B,C...

or do they hav ea G.P.A system too?

yah, it's graded by A-E pass grades (i.e. E is the lowest pass you can get), after that you get a U if you turned up to the exams or an X if you didn't.

There is a GPA system that runs parallel to the alphabetical grades.

 

UCAS use it to demonstrate average ability to unis you might be applying to.

 

It's something like 10 for an A, 8 for a B... etc.

I got A for Maths, B for physics, B for chemistry.

 

Last year i got straight A's, really high, this year i got mostly C's and couple of B's and a D... what went wrong?! lol. Got into my course anyway, they wanted AAB, but let me in

grades have never been a concern of mine, I usually try to see how far I can make it fluctuate during the schoolyear;) ..well..during highschool anyway, that place was so boring and easy:-p

 

the American system does use alphabetical grades, but those each stand for a G.P.A rating..A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1 and F=0, there's also differing things like 3.75 for A-, 3.25 for B+ and so on and so forth

 

at least in washington state it was that way;)

I usually make straight A's, but this is hich school. I made a B first 9 weeks in AP calculus AB, but then shot it up to a 98 for the last 9 weeks of AP calculus BC . Other than that, I think I made a B in spanish once, and maybe freshman english.
