FlibbyFlobby Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Experience counts for more than grades most the time, so even if you dont so well there are still plenty of oppurtunities for everyone :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 I'm trying not to worry. There's always an alternative if I don't get good grades. 586424393[/snapback] Of course their will be an alternative. If I get good grades I get to go to a good college, if I get bad grades I can just stay on at my 6th form. Here is something I made during my exams, so you can see what im aiming for and what my negative self has said I will probably get: Personal_Exam_Target_Results_And_Probable_Results.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouldy Punk Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 what's "Distinction"? that's not a grade... 586425850[/snapback] Distinction is like an A grade. I goes: Distinction = A Merit = B Pass = C Fail = Fail I think that is only GNVQ courses that grade stuff like that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 oh right GNVQ.not "GCSE" then :whistle: :D 586425996[/snapback] I get my GNVQ ICT result on the same day as my GCSE results though, so I thought I would put it on there....... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extcee Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 GNVQ are now being introduded into GCSE's aswell. For example ive finished school now.. (waiting for results tomorow) but i took a GNVQ, its more or less the same as a GCSE, except its a different qualification.. anywhoo, there all the same thing really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouldy Punk Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 You know what GNVQ stands for? Going nowhere very quickly :p Naa kidding. They're just vocational based qualifications, GCSEs are more academic. I did GNVQ sciences, got the results quite a while ago. Got Merits across the board with one distinction, but averages at a Merit overall. According to my school, GNVQ science is the equivelent to 4 GCSEs - so going by their lies, I already have 4 B grade GCSE equivelents. But back in the real world, it's the equivelent to 2, or 1 depending on who you ask. The 6th form I'm going to said it counts as 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extcee Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I should be aiming for a GNVQ merit in ICT :D, woooo that's my specialist subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouldy Punk Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 ^ well arnt you smart !. id be bloody happy if i got my C in maths, but i dont think its all that likely :( 586426099[/snapback] Not particularly :p My school (now ex-school I suppose) is in special measures, so they're bribing all the pupils. If you get 4 GCSEs A-C (or GCSE equivelent, like GNVQ) then the school give you ?100, if you get 5 A-Cs the school gives you ?200. So I basically chose GNVQ science as an option for the money - even though the 6th form college would have much prefered if I had done Double Science (GCSE double award) or even just single science.
