Grade G in maths GCSE

That's harsh and unnecessary. I agree that the 'G' grade is pointless but why one earth should he/she not go to uni. They've got decent A-Level grades and if they don't need maths for the subject they plan to study why on earth should they be restricted from higher education?

Because someone that got a G in GCSE maths lacks any basic form of logical intelligence, and has shown that they won't bother putting in the work for something that they dislike. That is not really someone a uni wants to deal with.

The fact remains that 6.6% of candidates attain grades G or U and only 5.5% attain grade A*. An alternative point of view might be that it is A* students like you who are the freaks? :wink:

I'm sorry but that is just a sad statement about the population as a whole.

No isnt, at GCSE a pass is C or above, with the exception of languages where a grade G is a pass. And A Level, a grade E is a pass...

Thanks for correcting me.

It's peculiar that the Department for Education says "There are eight pass grades at GCSE ranging from A* to G" though.

oh okay, well I may be wrong but I was always told, that a C was a pass and a D was a fail, with the exception of languages, never mind :smile:

GCSEs have been subject to grade inflation to the point where only grades C and above will be considered by employers and alike to be a 'good pass'.

I went yo from a U grade to a C.

It took me twice to get my GCSE maths but I nailed it.

If I can pass maths then you can.

The saying is true: try your best and let God do the rest.

I would advise you redo it regardless if your university does not need it.

Employers would in most cases want that C grade.
