which subjects were the easiest?
the 3 i remember being concerned over were chemistry, maths & french. least effort probably went into IT/Biology/Englishs/Statistics.

Which did you get best marks in?
in the GCSE exams? English Lit, then probably physics. only know the grades for the rest. or generally throughout the year..hmm..i tended to score fairly highly (within top 5) in most exams, other than french

What grades did you get in the mocks?
they weren't really a big thing at my school, we never did them in french or IT really, but mostly As i think, grudging A* in English Lit. though school policy was to be very harsh in mocks apparently!

What were your predicted grades?
we were never told - i found out at 6th form interview - 8A*s & 2As (our IT teacher was useless, so probably no one she'd ever taught got an A* & the french one was made up looking at my others i think - as our teacher had been sacked at the start of year 11 & we'd had no-one else since..)

What did you get in the real thing?
9A*s & 1 B (yes..that would be french..lol.)

hmm..it feels so long ago.. :eek:
