Did I lie on my CV?

I am facing a current dilemma and I was wondering if the TSR community could assist me. Well, whilst doing my degree I also did three A-levels in Economics, Mathematics and Further Mathematics and received As in each of these subjects (don’t ask me how I did it J). On my CV I placed it them next to my other A-level grade so it looks like this:

Education
2005 – 2007 Sixth Form College Name, Location
A-levels: German (B), Economics (A), Mathematics (A), Further Mathematics (A)

I did the same with my GCSE grade in English and Science, am I in trouble? Would you classify it as misrepresentation?
I did receive the grades HOWEVER not on the dates specified, what would you do in the same situation?
I have recently applied for a new job and I have been thinking if this is a form of falsification. I didn’t do it to make myself look better; I simply did it to make my CV look more organised. How would you lay out your CV if faced in the same situation?

By the way, I did finish Mathematics and Economics A-level within a year but I still stated that it took two years.

Thanks for your help.

Just to be on the safe side. Tell them the mistake and also change it on your CV.
Noone cares yo.

It is considered lying in a way but I don't really think they'll pick up on it unless they ask for your certificates...
