GCSE certificatesHow many people here still haven't recieved their GCSE certificates from last year yet? Everyone who I have asked has either got them or has been told a date for when they will get them but I have heard nothing.

You should probably contact your school and find out because I got mine in December and I think, as you said, most people have got them by now. They might have sent them to you by post and they got lost, as the postal system in this country isn't the most reliable!

I did mine in 2003,and still haven't had any certificates.I think what you have to do is contact your school (if you've changed obviously.)My school only gives them out if you request them and I still haven't got round to it lol(Original post by shyopstv)

Exam boards will not discuss your particular case with you. They ask you to get your examination centre (usually your school) to contact them on your behalf.(Original post by Queenoftheuniverse)

All certificates are sent direct to the examination centre after appeals etc. are sorted out. In straightforward cases this will be shortly after the start of the autumn term following results day - in protracted cases or one's where errors have been made on provisional results sheets - it could take quite a bit longer.
Best advice is, as said before, contact your examination centre (school?) -

You get a separate certificate for each exam board. It just has your details (name, candidate number, centre name and number and probably some other things I've forgotten) at the top and lists your subjects and results.(Original post by usa1981)
How do the GCSE Certificates look? Please post a picture if you can. thank you
So my AQA one says:
D&T Food technology: Grade B (b)
My Edexcel one says:
French: Grade A* (a*)
Mathematics: Grade B (b)
And my OCR one says:
English: Grade A (a)
English literature: Grade A (a)
History: Grade A (a)
Media studies: Grade B (b)
Religious studies (short course): Grade A (a)
Science (double award): Grade A (a)
Science (double award): Grade A (a)
On the back, it has an explanation of the grades and marks, and for English, English literature and maths, it also gives you your individual marks for each exam and coursework. -
