    1992:

    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.

    No

    I'm presuming the stress of the exams was to blame.

    Same here - I left school 35 years ago, long before GCSEs existed.

    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.

    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.
