GCSE Results Day

Slenderman - Doctor · 08-27-2009, 06:59 AM

I'm not sure if this is England only, or whether it's throughout the UK. Either way, it was GCSE results day today. I'm not going to ask you to post your results, but feel free to do so if you wish. I just wanted to ask you all a few questions...

1. Are you happy with your results?
2. Did you get what you hoped for/predicted?
3. What's next? College? Apprenticeship? Work?

If you're already past the GCSE stage, I have a couple of questions for you too...

1. Were you happy with your results?
2. What did you go on to do afterwards?

Discuss

Sorry to be a bit of a stick-in-the-mud, but would you mind explaining to me what GCSE is?

Fankyoo Wiki!

The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is an academic qualification awarded in a specified subject, generally taken in a number of subjects by students aged 15–16 in secondary education in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

When you go to a college, university (higher education) or workplace, they'll look at your GCSE results. They're basically just grades which you get after a series of exams.

My SAT results were great and I'm in college now

I also don't see how grades has anything to do with fighting so the fact that you are going to be successful in fighting, even with low grades, isn't really that amazing to me. Sorry.

youngscotsman · 08-28-2009, 10:21 AM

its like ur A grades in england or the awards or eqivilent in america

dare_luke · 08-28-2009, 10:34 AM

Basically it's graduation in America. Dunno if you get awards or whatever for it but in England EVERYTHING, well nearly everything is exam orientated. In some cases you have to have a GCSE in English to be able to operate a till/checkout in the nearest supermarket...

Apparently nowadays you need to have passed 5 GCSEs to work in McDonalds.

Yeah they will. It obviously won't be the most important thing but if you've failed them and a uni needs to decide between you and another student, that might just be the thing they reject you on.
