Today was the GCSE results day for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. (If this is a duplicate topic, please delete.)
Post your GCSE results - were you happy with them, and were they what you expected? What are you going to do next?

I recieved 9 A* grades and 1 A grade, which is better than what I expected. I'm going to go on and do Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Further Maths A-levels in the sixth form.
Your only 16 Soleron? Jeez I thought you were ~25.
Don't make me feel so old, I did GCSEs so long ago they don't even count anymore.
I did chemistry at A-level too, it is quite different to GCSE I willwarn you now... read up lol
3 G's 1 F. Im very delighted since I done no coursework and always goofed off in school haha, I was expecting 2 get Ungraded in all mine haha.
And congrats on your results Soleron.
Well one day as they were throwing paper balls at me, i stabbed one of the fat bullys in the eye with a pencil and used his body to manuever through the others as i pelted rocks at them one by one, soon after i threw each and every one of their bodies off a building, and put their heads on staffs, to show the world.

GCSEs are usually taken at 16, the last year of compulsory education. GCSE Grading is from A* to G (A*, A, B, C, D, E, F, G) with a U grade for failure. Although D-G are technically passes, C and above is the minimum to say you are qualified and that is what is usually asked for by employers. Most exams are in two tiers: Higher, where grades from A* to C are achievable and below that is a fail (though "safety net" D and E grades are sometimes used too), and Foundation, where C to G can be achieved but the exam content is much easier.
The A* grade was introduced when the number of A grades became too high due to political influence. Unfortunately, it became the new A, and it is much easier to get an A* in a subject now than an A in the 1970s.
well done anyway guys you all did well (except deadly devil) Just out of interest I got a 2:1 at uni this year lol

A, tad different then from our system. In the Netherlands, schoolchilderen are divided into educational levels where parents, teachers and in some degree students think they are best places, so basicly it looks like this:
4-12: elementary school, everyone sits in the same classes and at age eleven you take some glorified IQ test that test you're skills in reading, maths, etc. That test gives you an advisory level of entrance into an level of education. This can be somewhat steered by teachers, students etc...
After that in high school, 50% will be going to the VMBO class- which in itself is split up in theoretic (what I call the bookkeepers, IT people side) and practical (technicians etc.) Other half goes on to the bridgeclasses where tests are given with an A and B side. The B side is tougher, and decides if you go on to VWO (scientific education) or stay on route to Havo (Higher educational.) The only way to get into university here is to either finish VWO, or if you have Havo first fullfill HBO (somewhat like college) and then be accepted on university...
So, no tomfoolery with tests all the way on the end :d.

We choose 2-4 options plus Maths, Science and English, RE and ICT at age 14, and then take GCSEs in those at 16. Those who go on to higher education then choose 3-4 AS levels (age 17) and take 2-3 on of those to A2 level (age 18). After that, we can choose to study a subject at university.
