What GCSE results do you consider to be good?

Actually they generally just want a decent grounding in subjects. They won't care if you have 19A*s if your AS levels are CCCC. Nor does it matter the quantity of GCSEs, many universities choose to look at your top 9 for example. The guy in here harping on about how much of a difference it makes, its all nonsense really, yes universities will no doubt want you to have done well and 19 GCSEs might be a talking point, but they won't be preferable over someone with 10 of the same level because many students WOULD come out with fantastic grades but are not given the opportunity to do so many.

my thoughts exactly


but in reply to the guy who had a sister with 19GCSEs. Congratulations to her, while your story sounds extremely unlikely, if it is true then well done. The reason it doesn't sound true is that you said she wanted to get into a grammar school. I know of a very top grammar school, one of the best in the country, where their entry requirements were 8As. Someone with just 8A*s would have been accepted 'in a jiffy' so...well I'll let others make a decision on the story's validity.

*COUGH* *COUGH* Universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, and OTHER TOP UNIS DO look at your GCSE results, so unless you want to be a plumber I suggest you hope for good grades or if you have time until GCSEs move your lazy backside. Best of luck

Dude, you have proper GCSE rage! as most of the A level pupils say in my school, "its only gcse's!"

Can i just say that due to certain equality laws, the highest entry requirements a school can set in 6A's, so the 8A thing is ball cheddar..

riight... proving a point mate, n gcse rage? what sad school do you go to?

It was to illustrate my point, the entry requirements will actually RISE to those I stated next year. However from reviewing your post, it does make me think that I was wrong with those entry requirements. I think it was 6As and 2Bs. I got it wrong because it doesn't concern my year.

My point still stands regardless.

A very good one indeed.
Mate, you're obsessed about GCSE's, evidently.
I recon you should just forget about them till thursday morning, you can't change a thing.
Good luck anyways, what school are you planning to go to? i rememeber you're name, either Latymer or Woodhouse i swer?

I think GCSE results should be available online too, so much easier and less stressful.

Well i did a few GCSEs early aswell, erm, French in Year 7 got an A* (no im not french) then arabic in year 10 (got an A) n i want to see following grades:
Maths A*
English + english lit AA
Science (double) A* A*
History A*
Electornics A*
ICT A/A*
N i also did an Additional maths course that counts like half an A level and hoping for an A in that
Pretty much i wanna see a sheet with no Bs on it
As for the waiting its just a PAIN
