22 August 2013 GCSE results: Discussion thread

The only real universal essential is AAA at A-level. Everything else varies per the university you apply to, so you'll have to do your research to find that out! We've got a great wiki here to start you off.



Sort of - how they're used depends on where you apply! Different universities have different scoring systems, use GCSEs in different ways, and put different weightings on things. For starters, we've got a list of all the minimum requirements for GCSEs here. But this doesn't tell you how a university uses your GCSEs! To find that out requires more research.

nope it wont i wish i got that many As i just got 1 and minor A*s

GUYS!!! you know the feeling when you hold your tears in soo much that you can cry for days? well thats my feeling right now! 2B's, 5C's,1D and 1E. I know my family are all really dissapointed in me but are tring to help me get in a college somewhere. My family are all smart with my dad being a doctor and my brother and sister also getting into good unis. I don't know whereever to do Betc for Engeniring or A-Levels with Physics, Maths and either economics or accounting please guts WHICH ONE SHOULD I DO???? and if i get good A-Levels could i get in Manchester uni? Or are my GCSE's too bad????????

hey guys i was wondering whether a distinction* btec is equivalent to 2A*s at GCSE

I got 7A* 2As A in Add maths A in AS maths 4Dist* 4Dist

oh .. both As were in language and lit

my school is kindah crap though tbh .... they have like a 48% A*-c rate :| lol

Hbu ?

i think that it might be worth remarking the english exams as the marks are more open for consideration than, say , maths where the the answer is right/wrong. but if it's not your final GCSE year, work hard the following year and you'll SMASH your resits. all in all, you know whether you think you did enough for an a* and should base your resits on how likely you think you will get the higher grade.

hope that helped.

thank you so much! that was extremely helpful!
