    you said it yourself, they are converted from the grade boundaries.
    55/100 will always be a D on a results sheet but you might have needed a very low mark to actually get 55/100.

    Anyway,resit of science ISA today-just found out yesterday!!!My old teacher looked positive yesterday that I could be entered in for Further Maths GCSE in Year11 and if I do then I will have 17 GCSEs.

    Going to parents evening in a minute.

    Oh God the awkwardness.

    It's either really bad and a teacher will be negative, and I'll go red.
    Or the teacher will be really positive, I'll feel uncomfortable, and go red anyway.

    I'm going to parents evening on Tuesday(a week today) and generally get positive comments but often get bad comments for handwriting-my handwriting is terrible
    My teachers might not bring the handwriting up much this year because I've proven them wrong because the examiners must have been able to read my exams for me to get any grade.Also,I have found out that there is an inset day at my primary school,where I'm going for work experience,should be interesting.

    Please son't believe that this troll will actually have 17 GCSEs if he has Further Maths. At the moment he tells everyone that he has 16 GCSEs when he actually only has 9/10 and then 2 BTECs which he classes as GCSE since they are labelled as 'GCSE equivalent' though no respectable university nor any sixth form/ college will count them as GCSEs. Even Oxford University admitted they do not consider Level 2 BTECs, however they do allow Level 3 BTECs which for certian degrees they look at quite highly.

    So to summarise, he will have 9/10 GCSEs. He really isn't doing loads, 8-10 is about average; so he is so spot on!

    Please don't act like your really knowledgeable on maths.

    You though complex/imaginary numbers were called fake numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And btw 310 doesn't mean 3*10. You can't just make these things up. However, 3.10 in higher mathematics sometimes used by knowledgeable A-Level students and myself to show 3*10.

    It's not really 3.10, it's 3 · 10

    Its not three hundred and ten its three and ten touching and it could equal 310-it is a possibility but it is just my new a-level mathematics syllabus.BTECS and OCR Nationals are Equivalent to GCSEs as shown by my link.

    When I say 3.10 on here I clearly mean that from the meaning of the statement, otherwise it would be extremely confusing with decimal points!!!

    Couldn't be bothered to do that middle dot as I don't know how to do it and wasn't worth wasting my time on finding out how to do it just for Dalek!

    Lol your own A-Level maths syllabus? So you basically made up some of your own mathematic rules which aren't necessarily true

    Excellent proof I must say. But this must be a new mathematical Proof by Induction from his new mathematics syllabus!

    That is Step 1.

    Now for Step 2 correct your mathematics.

    And Step 3 correct your personality

    ...and then you are on our way to becoming a decent human being
