Which A-level grades do you consider to be good? (POLL)

I don't agree.

Your grades aren't suddenly 'worse' somehow if you got AAA but didn't work hard to get them, nor are they any better if you worked very hard but got CCC - arguably they are worse, because you actually tried and still got poor grades.

I'm not saying 3As are bad, but people will feel differently about whether it is good or not for them. If there was a very slim chance someone was to get 3As but they did through determination then they are likely to feel their grades are very good for them, but if someone who has always succeeded got those grades they may feel disappointed the As weren't A*s.

I'm not speaking about subjectivity, however - I'm asking what is an objectively good set of results.

Of which I'm saying that there are no objectively good results, it wholly depends on what you're going to do with those results and whether they reflect your potential or not. AAB might be fantastic for some people or not so good for others, you can't brand that set of grades 'good' or not!

Why, of course you can!

Ok then, if someone needs A*AA for uni and they get AAB, is it still good in the same way as someone who gets AAB who was predicted CCC? So is AAB 'good' in both examples?

The simple answer is that AAB is not good in the first place.

I'd be careful about saying that on here if I were you. What A levels did you get? Oh wait... seems like you haven't done them yet.

Work smarter not harder.

I didn't vote because I think good A level grades are those which allow the holder to achieve what they want in the future and reflect both the amount of work they put into the course and their natural talent.

Using myself as an example, for me anything below AAA would be bad because I need that for my firm and I have/continue to put in a lot of effort to achieve these grades. But my friend is also working really hard to get CCC, which is what she needs for her firm choice, so for her these would be good grades.

The latter.
