Lashing bottles of vodka @ 16 ?
Tis about time they rejigged these exam results. Going by how they get listed, they maybe oughta have A=A* B=A C=B.
And imo, if one year u get a really high level of A-C passes, the subjects need to be made harder the next year, and keep repeating. Otherwize the race of humans isn`t going to progress very quickly without the challenges. Ending up with a system where only a few % get As, and these represent the cream of the generation, rather than having an A alongside several million others - cos to me that doesn`t mean anything, other than it obviously wasn`t a challenge.
Having taken O`Levels a year earlier, and having to do GCSEs as we were the first to have them, I`ll never forget our first physics class where we had to tear out a good number of pages out of text books as we were no longer required to know them as the formulas would be given in the exams, and somethings didn`t need to be known.
Seems to me tho, they`d rather just keep increasing the results higher as an image of what they`re meant to represent. If every kid finishes school with 5 A grades, the schools/govt. celebrate, but as people we should be guilty. And doing 12 subjects ? That`s taking the pish even further imo. I`d rather some1 excel in a Math line than also tack on ALAN or Citizenship as a freakin shoe-horn extra qualification. If u got time to do more than the old average of 8, then the 8 core subjects aren`t hard enough. Imo.
Well done every1 btw, hope u get to do what u want to do. Hopefully not lash vodka.
means i got into winstanley by 9 points and im doing: Computing, maths, chemistry and business studies A-Levels.
