one of the people at my college has 13 A* I think...I think some weird girl who was called 'all-rounded' (probably in an ironic way) by her headmaster got 17A*.

Ohhhh Lord, your threads are always so ridiculous.

One or two of my friends got 12 A*s. There've probably been better sets of results, like 20+ A*s, once or twice in the history of the world, but really, does it matter...?! Really?!

what you get negged for?

3B's.

Infinity A*s.

The best I've known was 9A*s, 1A (my friend's brother). He's at Oxford studying Law (might be Cambridge actually... not sure which).

Does it matter? They're only letters.
The person who got them matters so much more.

I got enough A*s and As to be happy. That's all I care about, and all you should, too.

Excluding TSR? Two with perfect academics (11A*'s and an E in additional maths!)

Excluding my old sixth form? Someone with 5A*'S (I went to a really poor school)

Lol I don't even know.

There was this thread about someone getting rejected for history from a Uni, who got an A in year 11 in A level History. Someone said that it was possible to do that if you worked hard, I agreed with them. Someone else said it was uber hard, and I said, well it is hard, but possible with work, cos 75% of people at my school got As, though obviously in upper sixth. Then I replied to "I agree" with some other post which wasn't insulting at all, and I got negged for the "I agree" post lol. :p:

Completely off topic. So, erm... yes, well there's always going to be someone who gets a huge string of A*s, like 13...

I know a person who got 10 A*, 2 A's, 1 B, 2 A's at Alevel (including one in his own language), and a Alevel E. All during Year 11.

All I know was that the guy was a workaholic and he wanted to have a gap year without being a year behind.

I know three people from my old school who got 15 A*s, one of whom got an an A in AS French as well.

Can't say I particularly care that I did quite a bit less well, though, as GCSEs are rarely important when you have good A-level results.
