And I will also have a GCSE in ICT but I don't count this.
I attended a very good independent prep school and am now at a top independent secondary school. At my prep school I received an academic prize for seven years straight and at the end of my time there I received a trophy for academic excellence, a very coveted prize. I also gained an academic and classics scholarship to my secondary school which I am very proud of and have recently gained 100% in some history coursework.
Now, some may say I have had an advantaged upbringing but I worked VERY hard for all of that and it annoys me so much when people say b-techs are worth 3-4 GCSE's because I am aiming for 11 A* and i will work EXTREMELY hard for those grades and when people say I have 14/15/16 GCSE'S and all of them being b-techs it irritates me that other people with 9/10/11 REAL GCSE's look as though they haven't achieved as much.
But anyway, 10 is the norm in my school which is private but the top two maths sets can take an extra GCSE in maths so 10 is my answer to average GCSE's.
