i got D in maths gcse

[EmSpem]

Personally I think actuall experience of doing the job is better than a bit of paper saying you can do it that's why I dropped out of 6th form

No I meant to actually get into college in the first place not when leaving to get a job.

I wouldn't have been able to do my job I'm in without college so it all depends

Did my maths GCSE in 9 months..you can guess the rest

Beau, you need to resit and work harder next time, a D in GCSE for somebody so young will limit you an awful lot initially. The problem is that at 16 you have no experience (etc.) unlike some of these oldies (). The oldies might "get away" with a D but you will have to wait a while until your experience takes over from your grades. A "C grade" really opens some doors for younger people.

I would say well done (etc.) but since you're so blasé about it you probably wouldn't care.

Personally I think "modular" GCSE maths makes a mockery of the system but hey ho...

If you go to college/ sixth form around my area you have to get a C or above else they make you retake it. It you dont get a C on the november retakes you get thrown out

I got a B in GCSE and was disappointed with it I left school before my GCSE's and just went in to take the exams so its my own fault i hadnt even been taught anything during year 11.

Anyway i went on to do maths AS level and got a U there was a HUGE difference between what you needed to know for GCSE and what you needed for AS.

On a side note; Paul you should know. When do the results come out for the January AS exams? I've never done them in sections before like this but its made them a whole lot easier!

lol, why should I know, I did those exams 3 years ago!

March?

The step up from GCSE to AS/A2 is massive - especially in languages. The step up to a degree is a lot less

Lora, the exact date would depend on yor Exam Board - but as Paul said, March ish time is a good guess

Oh, and Beau............if you can resubmit your coursework, do it. When I did GCSE Maths, we all got either full marks or a mark or two off. Mind you, we did have a pretty good teacher

I remember our cwk in maths GCSE, you were supposed to do 2-3 in my school but since I joined late I only had the chance to do 1, to this day I still remember the time he took me out and said "8 8 8" which was the best I could get and replied "phew!".

Cwk is only a small amount is it not? I would guess only 15% or so?

And Chaos, you're crazy about saying a degree isn't much of a step up! I disagree lol, I found AS/A2 a natural progression of GCSE, more difficult concepts but totally spoon fed and obvious exam questions. I find uni work often abstract, NEVER spoon fed and with exams you could never predict. Maybe I just did the wrong course though

Ohh can't wait until my first exam, wahoo! (tuesday, solid fluid systems, oh dear!)

I'm crazy anyway
I found adapting to the degree material a lot easier than adapting to AS Level. Everyone else I know feels the same way Maybe its just you

Cause you're clever.

I only found out what i got in my psychology last year cause my teacher range me up screaming down the phone telling me i got an A i think she was more excited than me.

I never did get my results slip so she could have been making it all up

Hmm, Dai. Degree - we'll get to that when i pass my A levels!

[The Negotiator]

I got a B in Maths, had to have private tutoring as i too didnt do well, and it was money well spent.

Think you should study a bit harder, a D will not look good for a maths GCSE result when going for a job interview
