Re: All A*s and 1 C.Must be a troll.
GCSE results came out last August.
This guy must be in year 12 sixth form. I highly doubt anyone with results like that would even be worrying about a C, or come to TSR to ask about it, especially after 6 months. -

Re: All A*s and 1 C.Yes but we are not talking about the value of a schort course. We are talking about the fact that you get half a grade and it can be A*.(Original post by cyfer)
Short courses are complete crap and a waste of time. Any person who is mildly more intelligent than a retarded squirrel will know this. -

Re: All A*s and 1 C.Ah, in my school's case, a teacher taught half the year the wrong syllubus. They all got Es while the other side got As and Bs.(Original post by Dmon1Unlimited)

Re: All A*s and 1 C.Yeah, don't worry at one measly c. No one really minds all too much about GCSEs, more emphasis is placed on your A levels. If it bothers you that much you have two options, 1) you could re take it or b) you could just not mention it.

Re: All A*s and 1 C.The C won't matter in relation to the A*'s. But don't think that A-Levels are going to be just as easy, because they are not. You will have to work very hard to achieve all A*'s at A-Level, and would probably have to sacrifice a social life in order to do this. Not normal.

Unlikely. Although, if you're at a job interview and say 'I have 11.5 A*s and a C' then you might get asked what the C was in. But once you tell them it was IT then they probably won't worry so much. -

Re: All A*s and 1 C.Exactly, I had B average at A level and now im on A*A*B(Original post by FranticMind)
Congratulations on having fantastic results - I also like that you set your sights high!
But please remember that A Levels are significantly more difficult than GCSE; if you work hard and succeed at A level then think about courses and THEN university.
Sorry to put a downer on it but I know many people who stumbled blindly into A level and bit off more than they could chew. -

Re: All A*s and 1 C.hahaha, it makes no difference. IT probably isn't top of the list for subjects that oxbridge admissions tutors consider. Oxbridge-wise, grade requirements are to an extent determined by the course you apply for, but people with no or very few A*s at gcse get in. I got about 6 A*s at gcse and have offer from Oxford now, but some people I know who have 12A*s at gcse and straight 90% As at A-level got rejected. In short, your grades will not be a hindrance and there's more than grades involved in uni applications too.(Original post by siddiqi360)
Guys!
I got 11.5 A*s and 1 C in IT! Eek! I was wondering...
Will the C look bad on the A*s or is it just about the A*s?
Does anyone know for sure?
Thinking Oxbridge-wise....
Thanks

Re: All A*s and 1 C.Well done on the GCSE results, but don't underestimate the amount of work that will be required at A-level. For example, there was someone in my class who got about 98% in their maths GCSE, and in their unit 1 as results, they got a U in physics which was supposedly their best subject.

Re: All A*s and 1 C.You clearly know nothing about IT GCSE - getting a C means the OP didn't try/wasnt organised/motivated/determined. It is in no way shape or form representative of how well he can use a computer.(Original post by kopite493)
oh yes because being unable to use a computer in a computer orientated society is fine
