They are not bad but not good - just standard really. There are basically the grades I got: A*AABBBCC


Erm... why was I negged for this? At least explain what I did wrong/why you disagree!

[Axion]

Pretty average tbh

BUT make sure he does well in his a levels so he can get a good uni of his choice.

[cooldudeman]

good but not great

[Aspiringlawstudent]

They're your grades really, aren't they?

He wants to to study English at UEA, Sussex, Leicester, Kent or Exeter. Does he stand a chance? (providing he meets A level requirements)

[JollyGreenAtheist]

Yeahhhhhh... brother's...

Lots of universities overlook GCSEs if the A-levels make up for them. Provided he meets the basic requirements and isn't going for Oxbridge/LSE/UCL/Dur, I reckon he'll be ok.

[Axion]

If he gets straight A's at AS and 3 A's at A -level (which is what everyone should ideally be aiming for as nothing is impossible) then yes.

Thanks UEA, Sussex, Kent, Exeter (too risky?) and Leicester he wants to go to...

I don't know if any of them are completely out of bounds, although with Exeter, they run an A*AA course and an AAB course (I think). The AAB course would be easier, methinks.

It's a bit early to be definitively planning universities, though. Get the results, do AS levels, take it from there.

Ok. I did it for a psychological reason. I thought you'd be more honest if you weren't directly telling the person their grades are **** ;P

[Muddy_Hands]

100% A-C... on what planet is that bad? I know a lot of people who've done a lot worse.

Trust me, people on TSR have no problem telling people their grades are terrible.

[L.O.V.E]

The grades are fine, at least he passed everything and as long as he gets the required A level grades for his chosen universities then I think he'll be able to get a place

Still doing my A Levels. I am predicted an A and then distinction, and another distinction (doing 2 BTEC's and 1 A Level). A* was in business studies.
