Like people have said, it depends on your expected grade, my maths teachers was freakin ecstatic when got a B.
I did all mine last year, did fairly well
A* in Art
A in English Lit/Lang, Bio, Chem and Physics.
B in Dance, PE, Electronics, Spanish, French, Maths
D in RS, XD.

I didn't get any A's, yet my mum tells everyone I did. She's an idiot at times.
I've always been an average C-grade, so it doesn't bother me too much. I'm expected a good grade for my media and I'm currently at distinction level in BTec drama, so I'm pretty pleased with that.
Oh, and I got a D in maths, but my teacher knew I was a retard anyway.

Anyone else doing Religious Education for A-Level? Religion in Contemporary Society? I bloody love it, and am getting straight As, and the same with English and History.
I was pretty average at Maths and Science for GCSE when I did them, obtaining pretty much straight Bs. I got an A* for Latin, A for Geography, A* for English (lit. and lang.), A* for History, A in AS Religious Studies (I did AS Levels a year early), and finally an A* for Music. GCSEs were hard, yes, but not that hard. All you've got to do is take plenty of notes and revise your arse off and you'll be fine.

Yes it is. All testing does is reduce you to a meaningless number or letter, Taking away your humanity and turning you into another "expendable asset".rossatdi said:
Have you ever noticed how the people who get all A's aren't necessarily the most interesting or intelligent? They're just the ones who work hard. Grades have a lot to do with determining who's the best worker bee in the hive to perform their job happily without question.
Each year in the UK a higher and higher percentage of people get A's and A*'s across the board in every subject. It's always in the news once a year, ever since I left school. Yet we also have the highest teenage pregnancy, European obesity (someone check that for me) and ever mounting problems with anti-social behaviour, economic collapse and binge drinking.
Grades need to be re-thought, as while they might benefit a select few, the rest of us, who think in a less clinical way, or are unmotivated by a letter on a piece of paper or empty promises of fortune, get "left behind" like the great unwashed and practically spat on by those in charge like the Original Poster with his B scenario.
I'm one of those people who was always told "Must Try Harder". But why would I want to do that when I don't care about getting rich and doing a job I'd have hated on account of choosing subjects that were wrongly suited to my personality and mental style?
As a video I saw recently pointed out, the current public education system was built in the Industrial Revolution a hundred years ago, when the people of the country needed to know very mechanical in order to do their jobs in the factories. Whilst the already existing higher education system, which had previously existed for the Rich anyway, trained those already in power, to keep their power as law-makers, politicians and businessmen.
Hence the current education system, as an evolution of that base robotic factory nonsense, only serves to stamp out creativity, instill fear and suck the personality out of the human spirit.
ALSO: I'd like to say that some would argue that Richard Branson of the Virgin Corporation fame is our best known Billionaire Entrepreneur. He didn't get to where he is today by studying what the books say hard, he was a creative genius and that's the kind of person that you need to make from education.
Then there's Jaqcues Fresco, who some of you may know from the Zeitgeist Movement and Venus Project. This man has essentially created a blue-print for a whole new way of living, redesigned the world from the ground up. He told the crowd at the recent live event his story of how as a kid he was singled out of his classes and given free reign to read whatever interested him at school, as opposed to following the curriculum. At his first job at an Aviation company, his foreman told him he'd made more contributions to the company in 3 weeks than anyone else had in their entire careers, because he was a creative person, who'd learnt completely different things from everyone else working there, and those are the types of people who set the world on fire.

Considering the amount of fucktards that got into my A level science class, GCSE's don't count for shit at my school.
One might argue it's not meaningless. You don't want to hire a mathematically challenged but stunningly charming person for the role of a auditor. Test results are nominally there to display to your future employer or education facility what it is that you are best equipped to do.Hunde Des Krieg said:
It speeds the process up, you can't interview every single applicant for every single position.
And I don't think having stats takes away your humanity, it merely quanitifies it.
Ross is a level 3 Political Consultant with a MA in economic and social history. He's ranked in with 400 UCAS points with a leaning towards scientific and social science subjects. Weak against linguistics and music. He's currently levelling his athletics stat in the hopes of being able to run 5km in 20 minutes. His Strength characteristic is rated at 6 out of 10 or bench max of roughly 90kg. He kind of wishes he'd chosen the 'Scientist' class over the 'political consultant' class as he finds the missions more rewarding and his stats more suited to the tasks. He's considering dual classing in 'Soldier'. Perk: sarcasm.
i took the middle tier (it's the one above foundation, whose name i forget at this time) and got a B in the end, which is the highest achievable grade in that tier, so i was pretty cheffed, because i'm fuckin' useless at maths. i just can't do it!
i think teachers always mark you very harshly anyway, because it makes you 'pull your socks up', so the hope is to make you try and achieve a higher grade, that way when it comes round to the actual exams, you do better (which is why your Mocks should always be harder than the actual GCSEs themselves)

I got 5 b's and 4 c's, and my mum acted really disaapionted "No A's?" said in a tone that suggested that she she was dispionted with me. Why thanks mum, im the first in our family to pass all my subjects and thats all i get? Sure my siblings got one or 2 A's but they also got D's and E's
I recently got results from my science tests and got 1 A and 2 B's and I was dissapointed at that. I'm annoyed that in my mocks I got all A's for them and then I just got too cocky. Life goes on.

Yup. They did, and so did I considering I went to more lessons than my teacher.Arkitext said:
And it was a waste of time teaching only 3 students science, so the only subject I enjoyed was not continued next year.
I'm expected to get an A for both my English GCSEs (Language and Lit.), and my teacher still expects that of me even though my mock results were both Ds, and she just keeps having a go at me for it. She also managed to lose my friend's last piece of coursework TWICE and claims that he didn't hand it to her, and he has witnesses that he did.
But I have got an overall A for my core science, A* in my first additional science module, an A for my Statistics (one GCSE already in the bag then) and I'm at an A* for Maths. The only thing I have a U for is PE, since we were forced to do it and I haven't handed any coursework in.

Basic education is intended to teach you to think and reason. Its not about the quadratic formula, its about problem solving using the known (AND EASY) quadratic formula.
I do not have high hopes for the future of society when kids are just too damn busy fingering eachother in class to learn one of the most basic and simplist algebraic equations there is.
