Brag about your gcse results here!!!

So, someone getting 5 GCSE grades where they really should only be recieving 3 would have a significant advantage.

GameGod, its not that they should only be receiving 3 GCSEs, they should receive 5.

I'm doing Core Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics so thats 4 and its not unfair. Its just that last year I did Science and because I received an A* I am doing triple, so they still all count.

And it only overlaps slightly for me. I do a total 18 modules of which 2 overlap, but the exams still differ as the mix of modules in each exam changes for the subject rather than mixing the 3. Also, there are a lot more coursework elements, I mean a lot.

And there are a lot of modules that aren't covered in science. So its completely fair and not an unfair advantage.

So you have to learn different content for most of your modules? In that case, I suppose it's relatively reasonable for you to get 4 GCSEs, but note: we're looking at content here. It's only if the content differs across the modules (as opposed to the testing style, type of questions, length of answers, difficulty, etc.) that it is fair for you to be getting more GCSEs than those who take the standard number of science subjects (3). It's about how much and how many different materials you have to revise and understand/learn, not how many tests you have to take: if you had to learn 4 subjects worth of facts, then yes, you have earned your 4th GCSE, but if that 4th grade only required knowledge from the first 3, then essentially you're getting a 4th GCSE without learning anything additional to what the candidates learn who get 3.

Even if not, it slightly rankles that pupils have the opportunity to take the same subject with different exam boards and recieve multiple GCSEs from it. I most likely knew most material on the other boards' syllabuses anyway, so I could theoretically have got 15*4 (the one board I took for each subject, in addition to 3 more of Edexcel, AQA, OCR and Edexcel IGCSE) = 60 A*s. But that would be ridiculous ... To use a more demonstrable example, it's concievable that someone could get 12 GCSEs in science alone (3 each from each of the 4 above boards), and so, if they got all A*s, they would be equal or advantaged over most candidates who have a far wider and more all-rounded knowledge base at GCSE level.

8 A*s and 2 As! I wanna be a nurse

EDIT: negged for good results. Either that or someone hates nurses.

I'm still getting negs six months on, even though I hardly did much better than you... :')

Same haha.. I was tempted to point out that one of my A's was marked up to an A* and let tha hatas hate

I would like to take this time to say the GCSEs really mean very little.

I got 100 A stars.
