Fairly below average,
C's in ICT/RE/Child Development (The latter I regret taking even though I did well in it),
D's in Maths/English/Food Economics,
E's in Science,
I got 5 Bs 4 As and an A* much to my teachers surprise. I was bullied throughout secondary school so bunked off a lot. One year i had 69% attendance. I still dont know how i got away with that!
I also got a new clait certificate in computing as the school didnt do ICT as a gcse. Try explaining what that is in job interviews when they ask for an IT gcse certificate!
Eng Lit - A
Eng Lang - A
French - B
Maths - B
Art - B
General Studies - A
History - C
Geography - C (fluke - I knew nowt about that subject). That was when a D or E were a fail, so a C wasn't great.
That was the old O Levels - cept for Maths which I taught myself after I left school, (as school only entered me for the worthless CSE).
Got no sciences cept the science part of General Paper.
There's a definite pattern in my exam results over the years, largely due to being: (a) lazy; and (b) not as clever as I thought I was.
GCSEs: 8 A grades (inc. maths), 2 B grades. This is the point at which I believed that I could achieve good results without trying.
A-levels: A (Maths), C (Economics), D (Physics). Here it was beginning to dawn on me that some elbow grease might have been a good idea but, hey, I was still a genius at Maths so it was all going to be fine.
Degree: Maths, 3rd class (and that only thanks to frantic revision in the last six months). It turns out that Maths is actually quite hard! And I appear not be a genius. That was a bummer of a year, I can tell you.
So it basically took me twenty and a half years to learn that hard work is beneficial. A lesson well learned and it's worked out fine in the end, but I would very much like to go back in time twenty years and beat my younger self senseless. Here endeth the cautionary tale!
One B in History. Five Cs in English Language, Geography, Maths, English Literature and Science. D in Technology, E in German and F in RE.
I did one year of A Levels...E in all of them. Bullied with 70% attendance. Did not carry on to a second year. Did a two year childcare course. Practical OK, written work struggled. Dropped out second year. My parents divorce got to me and the bitterness around it. Hated college. Wish I went to Solihull instead. Nearer and better. Teachers had it on for me as I always five min late. Er....my parents dont drive and the bus routes are shite.
Nvq 2 in Administration at work back in 2010.
Some of the stuff I learnt I just dont need. I have not done trigenometry since aged 16 and medicine through time...what? If you gave me this information today I would not remember it.

and just finished my degree with a 2:1 in Linguistics and English Literature
3 As, a B, 5 Cs and an E. It irks me when people talk about school exams getting easier. They weren't easy for me so I was really pleased with what I got (minus the E but that was down to not being bothered about the subject!), particularly given that, sob story coming up, I had a tough time at school.

There was none of this A* malarkey around when I took mine.We did 'O' levels when I was at school.
5 C's, 3 D's....and an E
Not bad considering I didn't do any revision and spent the whole exam period thinking I may be pregnant.
That is quite a cliffhanger to leave us with. Well were you?:D

I'm presuming the stress of the exams was to blame.
C's in ICT/RE/Child Development (The latter I regret taking even though I did well in it),
D's in Maths/English/Food Economics,
E's in Science,
and my very abysmal F in Geography..
Same here - I left school 35 years ago, long before GCSEs existed.
I also got a new clait certificate in computing as the school didnt do ICT as a gcse. Try explaining what that is in job interviews when they ask for an IT gcse certificate!
