usually your score and grades on one side, gradeboundaries on the back. its a statement of results you get your certificate later around november time i think.

You'll receive a separate statement of results for every exam board you took subjects with, and these vary in the amount of details they give you. AQA will tell you your grade only, Edexcel do the same I think and OCR tell you your mark and grade for every component of the GCSE- i.e. in Maths they'd tell you your marks and grades for both the calculator and non-calculator papers, as well as your coursework.

The different statements of results look like this:

If all of yours are on OCR, then they will be on the same piece of paper. Not sure what they look like though.

Also if you have a mate who took a GCSE early like a language or ICt then they can show u.

Unfortunately I don't think either of them have any examples on their websites of what they look like, but thinking about it- I'll have a look at my sister's statements from when she did her GCSEs and I might be able to scan/take a picture of the AQA results sheet. :smile:

my school also made their own separate results page summing up all the exam board results... With all your subjects and grades on it. Helpful for me since i did 13 subjects. i don't actually see how knowing what the page looks like helps - on results day you just look at the subject and look right for the grade. :smile:

Here we go- I took some of all of them because they look a little different from the boards' examples:

Voilà, tell me if there are any problems with the pictures! :smile:
what's the grade in the bracket mean?

Can't remember - but it seems to match up with the main grade - so don't worry about it.

Thanks a lot!

Pity AQA doesn't give you a mark, only a grade... :frown:

that's because those grades are bloody amazing, i doubt if mine will match up.
It's just that my brother who is in year seven is opening my results as i am travelling and hes gonna tell me what i got over the phone. I don't want him to get confused between the grade in the bracket and the grade outside the bracket.

I think it's to distinguish between the grades.

Cause I guess b and d look the same. And the ink might smudge.
So they print it in 2 formats. B And D look completly different.

Although I could be wrong.

AFAIK, it's always the same grade in the bracket just so people don't get confused?
Counter-productive if you ask me.
