Most Surprising Grade?

Scroll to see replies

120/120 in Geography Synoptic for A-Level but generally my Gold in the chemistry Olympiad was the most surprising as I really didn't expect to even get a Bronze or anything.

I got full marks for a psychology unit of AS last year. I didn't quite finish my paper, and upon telling one of my teachers what I'd written, she cruelly remarked: "well you've dropped at least one grade, then, probably two". Shows what she knew.

My other major surprises came in History. First, the GCSE, where I was just floored by all the questions on both papers, and wrote a load of crap yet came out with an A*. Secondly, on the AS Tudor paper - you got a choice of two questions, and they were both terrible. Choosing between the questions was like choosing which foot to shoot yourself in. I wrote the biggest load of crap ever, it wasn't even coherent - and I would have considered myself lucky to have even got a grade - and yet I got 69/90, a high B grade, which meant I got an A for the AS overall. Delighted. :awesome:

90/90 for eng lit Spies paper at AS, which most of the people the year before had dropped about 3 grades in and even more surprisingly, an A for GCSE maths- not bad considering I still don't know my times tables! lol

I've been told computer science and ICT is very unrelated lol. Apparently it's more maths based.

Totally, most people don't know that though. :p:

Also a B in GCSE maths, I was praying for a D!

87 and 88/90 on my AS physics exams, when I couldnt understand anything even in April. I'm much prouder of that than full marks in some other modules. Glad I ditched the subject even though it turned out to be my second highest in UMS; I know when I've had a good run :p:
