are these good enough grades?

These are my own predicted grades and I'm not sure whether they're seen as good or poor grades , like will employers and universities accept them?
Media studies- A
Maths- B
English literature- C/B
English language-B
Religious studies-A/B
Business Btec: D (equivalent to A)
Computing Btec: D (equivalent to A)
history-C/B
Art-C
science- I know I haven't passed science because I did absolutely terrible in the exam!:frown:

Predicted grades aren't particularly accurate... It depends very much on the university and what course you want to do. If you're thinking Oxford then yes, GCSEs are important. For things like medicine they want amazing grades, but for media they should be a lot more relaxed.

And no, those are perfectly good grades :smile:

You'd definitely need to do more research on courses and unis, then. It's at least a year away until you have to start thinking about applying, you'll have plenty of time to make up your mind and go to open days etc. I had no idea what I wanted to do at the end of year 11 but open days and everything are so, so valuable when you're making your mind up.

Good luck with whatever you do, and I'm sure your GCSE grades will surprise you :-) (Hopefully in a nice way)

Your grades are clearly good, so why do you feel the need to ask for the opinion of others which is completely irrelevant?

Chill out you Donald Trump lover, oh what a shame, he didn't win. Moreover, it's your assumption that it's good, he may have high expectations of himself therefore may not consider it to be good and he is unsure about his pathway so it's not irrelevant.

Well I feel like it's necessary to relieve my stress considering I know a lot of people who are revising loads and will come out/predicted to come out with A*s in pretty much everything.

In my GCSEs I pretty much got similar grades to you, a few different subjects though. I'm at Cass business school now which is relatively decent but I did manage to get ABB in my A-levels, again not the best but a massive improvement. GCSEs don't really matter. The majority of uni's care mainly about A-levels unless you want to do medicine or go Oxbridge so I would just say do the best you can in your A-levels. And in terms of employment they don't even ask for GCSEs, they can see you've done a-levels or are currently at uni which is the main thing.
