All subjects failed? is this possible at all?

I was watching hollyoaks today on e4 and one character, i wont say who, in order not to spoil it for those people who watch it tomorrow on channel 4, failed all her gcse's.
I mean all of them
is that actually possible? isnt the F grade boundary like 5% or something?

My cousin failed all his GCSE's except for one, English which was a C. It can happen, not handing in coursework, not turning up (which was how he managed to get an X), and writing nothing on the exam paper.

It is possible, but at least I know and well hope I can't fail as spectacularly as he did :redface:

If you get lower than a C while doing Higher Tier, it's a U

I think that's true. If you are JUST a couple of marks off a C, they award you a D, anything below and it's a U.

I'm GUESSING it was Amy or Michaela? In which case it's possible :p:

Amy didn't turn up to most of her exams cos she'd run away with Josh, and Michaela's just ditzy enough to fail everything.

It's just a soap after all. I doubt anyone would fail all their subjects in real life.

I meant for OCR, AQA, Edexcel - I guess CCEA is different.

Actually you get an X for that bit :wink:

haha

Not true. In CCEA exams at least you can get a D, not sure on other boards though.

True.

Some schools only have a 50% rate of students gaining 5 A*-C grades, you know.

aqa chaned it for this years gcse's i checked...now aqa higher are a*-d, anything just below a d is an e..anything below THAT is a U

unless like aqa music the paper is untiered (yay) this means that you can get anything from an A*-G.. :smile:
