Dave Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 i made an A in speech class once, that was pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matter Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 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.

NSX Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakfab Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudde Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 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;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 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.
