    How good are these grades? Honestly.
    English Lit A*
    English Lang A*
    Core science A
    Add. Science A
    Maths B
    History A
    Geography A
    ICT A
    R.E A
    Photography A
    P.E A

    Are these grades above average? Also I know p.e and photog are considered weak. Would these grades look good for a top ten uni?

    Thanks x

    They are above average. They would look fine for top 10 Uni's, concentrate on your A levels.

    If you're intelligent enough to get those grades then I'm sure you can work that out yourself.

    That or GCSEs have gotten a lot easier since I did them back in the day...

    I don't understand the need to constantly hate on people. If you think my results are good then you could just say. I was asking a perfectly reasonable question, but I'm sure you'll all just continue to give your sarcastic 'witty' responses.

    Yes they are fine. Not exceptional, but still very good.

    The reason people are giving you sarcastic responses is because they probably got average GCSE's themselves, and find it odd that someone with much better grades than them is asking if they are 'good enough'. It makes their grades look even worse.

    Pretty good grades, definitely above average, fine for top 10s, as long as you get pretty much 4 As at AS.

    Or I just find moronic questions from supposedly intelligent people rather annoying. If they can't work this out for themselves then god help them later on in life.

    and before you ask, no, today was not an enjoyable revision day

    Thanks 'like a boss' and 'sparks in the sky' for a genuine response, ok thanks I'll just keep working hard! I don't go to private school and I'm not from a privileged background so the rest of you should stop just randomly hating people who ask a question and go back to fiddling with your willy's. Merci x

    Other than PE & photography they are all respected subjects and grades. In regards to universities it really depends what you take at A Level, and what direction you want to take your career.
