"So. GCSEs anyone?"

Tell us your results and then everyone else will tell you how useless they are, etc...

Maths : A

Only did that exam. I do the rest next year.

And you?

And easy, I got an A on that paper. Shame I didn't get an A overall for English.

Some 7 year old on the news got a B in GCSE ICT.

Indeed. It's almost a form answer for that one, the stories, almost without exception, are about conflict between traditional and modern culties against the background of societal transition. Dull as dishwater.

EDIT: Culties? Cultures.

I got an A in English and in Religious Studies, so it's off to sixth form for me.

Congrats to all who did well.

Well, the newspapers claim that GCSEs are getting easier every year. In that case the A's which I got 8 years ago, are vastly superior to yours. And there's nothing you can ever do about that, except bow to my greatness.

over 10 years ago my cousin (she's pretty smart and fluent in 3 languages) got As for everything and ended up in the papers. These days everyone seems to get As so I'm not suprised that there's always something going on about things being easier. Maybe I can go back to school and retake everything and get me a bunch of As too.

I'm reminded of a program where a bunch of final year students went to a 1950s school and taught 1950s lessons. They did terrible.

Yeah anyway congrats to those who did well, I hope you get into the college/university you wanted.

GCSEs meant something when I did them two years ago!
And next year the people who do better in their A-levels than I did this year only managed it because it was easier for them.

Apparently they're thinking of scrapping GCSEs and Standard Grades?

They should definitely get rid of SGs, they're ridiculous.

Not all of them did, actually. Also, they were doing it during their holiday period so obviously they're going to see it as more of a bit of fun rather than wanting to do work. Then there's the fact that they only had a small amount of time to learn everything they needed to know.

I got the worst GCSE results evah....7 years ago.

I'm doing a job now though that I enjoy, so all is well.
