Grade 5 in maths gcse a Low B?

A high 5 is considered a high C.

Yeah, the new point system is essentially the old one just bumped up a little bit. So you could say the new benchmark for a pass is a high C/low B.

As far as I know grade 5 is equivalent to a C, if you want a reference, look at sixth forms in your area, before they required a C in maths for you to not have to redo them, see what grade they think is required now and that will probably be equivalent to a C

Is a high 5 in gcse maths considered as a low b ?

* If I get a High 5, Will that be a problem if both colleges I want to go to require a B in maths for the subjects I wanna do at A-Level?

Some posters have given you wrong information here. A high 5 is indeed equivalent to a low B.

If that's the entry requirement then it's very likely to be a problem. Is there not a 9-1 grade there?

Possibly, get 6

Yeah, I think it'll be a problem but double check with the colleges bc if they haven't changed their grade requirements then they'll have to consider what grade they think is good enough for the courses.

Besides, when you get a results, you won't be told whether it's a high 5 or a low 5, will you? So you might as well run the extra mile and try to bump it up to a 6.

I'm on a journey to go from a high 4 to a stable 6 to get into the college I want to and even then, I might need a 7 to get into their physics course so lmao wish me luck

but the highest in maths cos of foundation i can get is a 5. Do you see the problem, thats why I wanted to know if 5 is considered as a b

Oh ok. A high 5 might actually be equivalent to a low B but if it says you need a 6 then that might be a problem. You should check this.

@Mr M What do you think?

If it says you need a 6 then that's the grade they want in the 9-1 GCSE.

You'll need to be sitting the higher paper though so if that is what you want to do you should speak to your school about this first and see if they'll allow you to sit the higher paper.

What grade are you currently working at in maths?

I just sent an email now but what if my teacher says no?
Is there anything I can do to persuade them to allow me to do the course
