R u proud of them?


Yeah I’m happy with them. And yeah I wouldn’t shy away from sharing them, I honestly thought I failed quite a few of them so when I opened that envelope the feeling of relief I had was monumental. Plus for the work I put in, I definitely didn’t deserve much better

I'm pretty sure in most places the average is 8-10, technically I do 9 as I'm doing a BTEC but I'm pretty sure colleges look at them as if they are the same thing for GCSE, I'm pretty sure this is different at A level though.
lol, I'm doing 12, but I'm pretty sure it is so that our school allows us the best chance to get the most 9s 8s and 7s as possible.

As long as you do well, that should be fine for applying to colleges or an apprenticeship etc.

This might sound like a stupid question but what is the difference between college and sixth form?

I don't think there is that much of a difference if I'm being honest,
Sixth form: attatched to a high school, usually only offers a levels.
Sixth form college: similar to sixth forms but simply separate from high schools so you have more freedom. Offers mainly a levels but the occasional BTEC. Bigger colleges may offer both. Just because a sixth form college offers BTECs doesn't mean it's bad, it just usually has a large range of courses.
Colleges: More BTECs, adult learning etc. May offer a level courses but not as many.
