Hi.
I thought this too, and was confused because I thought I got a Distinction. I looked though and it is a Distinction. They probably do it DS so it's not confused with an A-Level D (I would have freaked if I'd seen that, and I imagine many others who also do a-levels would have done too).
Still a great grade though, well done! :smile:

So it is just a distinction right? I'm happy about it:smile:

It's definitely a Distinction. I imagine it's written as DS to avoid confusion with a-level grade D, as they mean very different things.
