    GCSEs were harder then!!! You make me laugh. We do past papers and for most of my subjectsw they go back to 06 and all the exams between that period have been pretty equally difficiult all varying slightly, but none at all moreso difficult than others.

    You can only say that they were harder when you did them if you are so 40 year man in a mid life crisis who gets upset over teenagers having better results than them!
    I totally agree - I hate it when older people hate on us and say we have an easier time of it! They have no idea about GCSEs now so can hardly compare them to theirs a few years back, and even if they are easier now, its not exactly our fault, we've just gotta try to do the best we can with the qualifications we're offered! ok /rant. :rolleyes: :lol:

    Exactly! And the most frustrating thing is, who sets the exams. Us teenagers don't. It is the bludi adults!! So if they are so much easier why don't they change the exams and make it harder as we don't have the authority to do so! That really is the most annoying part!!! How is it our fault if they are easuer, which if they ar eonly marginally and with coursework we have a higher workload making them harder even if the content is actually easier! So all in all it is much the same difficulty just in diffferent ways.

    Definitely didn't seem that way to me and even if it is I feel I had to rant coz it is true! And it seemsed serious enough to me when reading it so I don't believe it was such one.

    7 A* and 3A. Going on to study Maths at University, hopefully University of Sussex.

    I wasn't even in the top 20 in my high school for GCSE results that year.

    1A 7Bs, 3Cs and 1D... 5th best in my year, never thought I would end up with Bs and Cs and didn't fail a single subject!! Hopefully will do even better in A Levels and go to Cambridge to study Law!!

    Edit : are my results good enough compared with all the smart ones here, to go to Cambridge, I think 7Bs is very good?

    1A*, 6As and 4Bs, it's OK though because I don't want to do medicine.
