C Grades at GCSE

will you TSR quit picking on C graders! some people got D/C grades because of the fricking stupid school of sub-teaching for 3 years so why don't you shut the heck up and go and say to a C grader its bad you guys are so negitive!

when I retake all GCSE's this year and get A/A*s from college I wont go and say C is bad its hard enough to get with new reforms

It entirely depends. If you really struggle in a subject and you worked hard to achieve a C then it is a good grade for you. However, if you a good at a subject but just couldn't be bothered then it's a bad grade.
From an employer perspective it depends what a position requires, sometimes grades are not as important as experience and skills.

I go to a decent school, and people this year in my class average a C-D for B1, C1, P1 togehter. I averaged at 1UMS off an A, people blame the teachers in class even though I find nothing wrong with them, I just decided to put some effort into it (kind of, crasted too hard last year) if I bothered to do every past paper I would have easily got A* but I didn't because I didn't bother to work hard enough and that's what happened to the class, the effort was 0 at home

The attitude of some people on here is appalling and insulting . Everyone has different aims and different abilities and no one should be put down or deemed "mentally handicapped" because they feel that a Grade C is acceptable, At the end of the day, so long as a person tired their best then the grade they achieve should never be looked down up. Different people each find themselves in different circumstances and have different situations.

I have a lot of problems at school including mild dyslexia and an undiagnosed hearing problem, consequently I fell behind and ended up in remedial. By the time I was 8 years old I was written off as a "hopeless case" who never "achieve anything".

My parents are both alcoholics, they saw no point in education. School provided their kids with a place to go, they wanted us out the way a often as possible as they had no time for their children. There was very little encouragement and even less love at home. My only role was that of a babysitter to my younger siblings while they went out to the pub, often till the early hours of the morning. Consequently I was often too tired to concentrate. I was frequently mocked and put down when I made an attempt to try and achieve something, being reminded that I was "thick" and incapable of achieving anything. My teachers, knowing my parents offered very little support too, assuming that as my parents were alcoholics their children would be incapable of achieving anything and believing we would head the same way as my parents.

The Easter holidays before my GCSE's, my parents expected me to take over the running of the house and given a variety of jobs to do. There was very little time for studying though my parents knew my GCSE's were looming they didn't care less. I achieved DDEEEEFGU. I was really happy with this. Most people looked at my results and said "I told you so, you're thick and we knew you'd not achieve anything.

I knew what I wanted to do with my life, but my grades weren't anywhere near good enough to for what I wanted to do with my life. So began the slow journey of achieving my "dream career". I went to college, most people voiced the opinion that "I wouldn't last till Christmas"

Fast forward twenty years....I have, among my qualifications: two university certificates, Diploma in Higher Education, Bachelor of Science (Hons) and a Graduate Diploma. I have a job I love, which is the job of my dreams. I am a community nurse supporting people with dementia and their families in their own homes.

As of my GCSE results, well I improved them too.

1992 I resat three GCSE's in Child Development, English Literature and Language. I achieved CCD accordingly

1995 I sat and human physiology and health and psychology. I achieved B's for both of these on my first attempt

2014 I re-sat English Language and Maths. These I studied for part time, while working full time while juggling a home life and managing severe unstable asthma and arthritis.
I achieved Maths (Foundation Paper) C and English Language A

So now my results look like this ABBCCCDEFGU. Not brilliant by the standards of many, but I am proud of them because I know what I went through to achieve them.

So please, before shouting your mouth and being scathing towards those that achieve anything below an A, stop and think. Not everyone is the world is capable of achieving the results you have and not everyone has the opportunities you may of been presented with.

I revised 3 hours a day for the science and went afterschool for 8 weeks before exam with a good science teacher got on that C while head of science said I got B in coursework however I got a D, they failed an entire year this year and last year all got Ds and under on coursework when teacher said B and only 5 people got C in science GCSE, also that sounds like my school which 1 you go to my average in school was D-F, and I forgot to add that I had BTEC/GCSE trouble all year long.

I, personally, consider Cs very bad. Anything below an A and I would be upset.

As awful as this sounds, I really do not understand how it's possible to do badly enough in GCSEs to get a C. If you get Cs, it's just from a lack of trying hard or revision.

You have to be mentally handicapped to think a C grade at GCSE is good. I'm not trying to be rude, but anything less than all As at GCSE is just absolutely pathetic. There are no excuses, even revising all of the material the night before will enable you to scrape an A at GCSE level.

I feel you are an idiot bit everyone gets certain subjects I got a D in German I couldn't do German I also got a D in history also I couldn't do it I found them hard I revised loads but I just found them hard so shut the full cup

Sorry, but if you spent 3 hours revising you were clearly doing something wrong, did you not notice that in your mocks? Anyway GCSE science can be self taught quite easily with the internet imo, most of my notes last year were just looking at my specification and looking for the answer on the internet since I couldn't be bothered to go through my unorganised folder... and bad luck on the trouble about BTEC and GCSE
