A*s still aren't needed mayne
theres no point in wasting the effort fam


To be honest I want the A*s so I'm going to try my damndest to get them.

Putting in effort doesn't waste it. When you get the results you want, you'd be glad you put the effort in. That should apply to everything important to you.


Well said - I couldn't have put it any better :smile:

i just don't know how people can get A* my worst was a U and my best was a A. Most of my subjects i plan to get a C no higher unfortunately as my teachers won't let me do the higher paper. i know i won't get 5Cs for college :frown:


Hey if you put the work in then I'm sure you can get the Cs you need if you can't get the higher papers. If you ever need help let me know :smile:

Apart from the compulsory I took

Triple Science (OCR Gateway)
History (OCR)
German (AQA)
Geography (AQA)

And then ICT OCR Nationals

I have a question... Why do most of the students here take different exam boards for some exams? I take all exams with the CIE, and so are my peers. Is it a normal thing, or do some exam boards offer different subjects...?

Some schools choose different exxam baords because of the way they ask questions and lay out the exam. Like, for example the year 10s after me have switched to AQA for science rather than OCR Gateway because of the way their questions are worded :smile:

Oh, I see! Is the schooling in England 13 years long? It seems like all of you take the GCSEs in year 11, where as we do it in grade 10...
