You would be marked down by Oxford, who compare results with what school you went to.My School's average GCSE Result is a D.
My school vs yours in the League Tables:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/leaguetables/9821842/GCSE-league-tables-compare-your-schools-performance.html?COMPARE
Its really starting to kick in how well I did considering the school I went to.


Also one on the main reasons my school got such good results is because it has incredibly strict academic entry requirements so the people who have got into the school are bound to do well..

Congrats on getting in the newspaper!

Whatever he says, the above sentence can't really be belittled at all. Fantastic achievement.

Begrudgingly, congrats to him too, though I'd advise him that people would think slightly better of him if he was nicer to other high-achievers too.

oh yeah I forgot you were new, I think I was on holiday when you started posting :redface: ( and the 8 million other new people ) .... hey , what subjects are you taking ? oh and well done on your gcse's they are really good !


Thank you I was completely over the moon when I demolished that poor brown envelope and read them :smile: AQA chemistry, biology, physics and Edexcel maths (might do further maths as well but not sure whether it actually gives that much advantage and is worth that extra workload). What subjects are you doing?

For what it's worth, taking 5 subjects really isn't a good idea. Uni's don't really care if you've taken more than the usual 4 AS / 3 A Levels... Much better to take less and get better grades.

So you are doing 5 AS? Do you mind me asking why you decided to take 5? Because I am currently torn between 4 or 5 :smile:

I'm only doing 5 as my school don't count AS further maths as a subject so I have to do a 5th AS ( they wont let anyone do 5 otherwise ) and I would need further maths if I decided to go into engineering but im too bad to do full further maths ( in which case I would have 4 AS's ) ... so I'm basically doing 5 to keep my options open, if I could choose I would only be doing 4 as doing 5 has no advantage. What are you thinking of doing at uni ? if its nothing physics related then I wouldn't bother

Not gonna lie - it was a hell of a lot of work (especially if you do other things like work experience, extra curricular's etc.). :tongue: But you do learn quite a bit and it is (call me mad :tongue:) fun!

What are their reasons?

I quite enjoyed doing all three sciences. If you want to do them and genuinely have an interest in them, go for it! :biggrin:

No clue, maybe just cause they are all so similar . I hate chemistry that's the problem ... and geography ( which I hate slightly less ) but I love biology and if I wanted to study something biology related then I would probably need chemistry, which is where my problem comes from
