Ginger_Warrior Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 It basically goes from A* to something like E i think (IGCSE) A* 100-90% A - 89-80 B - 79-70 etc. Correct me if I'm wrong but i think it goes A*,A,B,C,D,E,F,U,X U = Unclassified = Complete Fail. X = Absent Don't forget the G grade. Anything from C or above is classed as a 'pass' in the GCSEs. If you decide to go onto the path of further education, A-Levels are generally the next step before university. GCSEs are generally taken by 11-16 year olds, and A-Level by 16-18 year olds. Although you can resit at any time. A-Level Grade boundaries (%): A = 80+ B = 70-79 C = 60-69 D = 50-59 E = 40-49 Fail = Below 40 A-E is a pass. That's right, you can pass an A-Level knowing only 40% of the course. :P I got my results, AAB. The B was in Biology meaning I didn't get into med school this year. HOWEVER... I got a deferred entry for 2009, guaranteed since I was so close and since I passed CoPE and got an A in General Studies. I'm over the moon. :D Congrats to everyone who's got the grades they wanted. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaziek Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 just over 6 days until GCSE day. Bricks are being shat. I'm hoping for at least 5 A*s and of course 100% passrate. 10/10 A or A* would be nice, but it probably wont happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieMcD Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Grats Ginger, Are you doing the standard Medicine course or a more focused course Medical based course? I'm getting my JC (Irish equivalent to GCSE's) results in September, realistically I'd say I'm looking at 4-5 A's, 2-3 B's and 3 C's which I'll be happy with considering I only did 1 weeks of mediocre study for the exams. The subjects which I'll get the A's in were hard but I did a lot of study for them compared to other subjects, 3 subjects I'm getting C's in I had terrible teachers so they were a lost cause since the start. For my Irish equivalent to the A levels I do anywhere from 6-9 Subjects, which my best 6 are counted. I want to do Medicine or Law in Ireland's best university so I need either 590 or 555 points out of 600. So basically for Medicine I need to average 98.3% in 6 subjects and for Law I need to average 92.5% in 6 subjects. That's gonna be a bit of a challenge.......

mrpez Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 there is an "E" grade in britain? i always wondered why some systems skipped E and went straight to F. i doubt the letters stand for anything, besides maybe F being Fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does sound like a bit of a challenge, but if you don't make it into that university then don't worry about it. All Medicine courses are strictly controlled so you'll be taught near enough the same things anyway. It's just the way they teach it that differs from uni to uni. I hope it works out for ya. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to have at least a C/B in English Language, or at least something that proves you're capable of understanding English to a satisfactory level. A B in English Language was certainly needed for the English Lit. course at my college anyway. As for university, I'm not actually sure. It depends on the uni. Some will accept a good GCSE grade, some will ask for an A-Level. You'd really have to check the UCAS website. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dusqi Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 - GCSEs are done while 16 and decide whether you get into sixth form. People take 10-12 of these. - AS Levels are done while 17 and are sent to universities when you apply for courses. The university then offers you a place as long as you get certain marks in your A-Levels. People take 4-5 of these. - A Levels are done while 18 and determine whether you meet the requirements of the university. People take 3-5 of these. Congratulations to everyone! I can however confirm that in 4 years you will have trouble remembering what subjects you took at A-Level ;) For it is the greyness of dusk that reigns.The time when the living and the dead exist as one.
