Answer 1

they seem fine congratulations

Answer 2

they look great!

my average was only 69 and i got into the university i wanted.

and now i get the same grades as the 'nerds"

Answer 3

well i would think that you haven't got f s or what ever you call them so very good and don't they have the answers on the back

Answer 4

With the exception of the D your grades are decent.

They are not, however, good enough to get you into a university.

You need to have all your grades at least at a C+, preferably a B.

The grades you currently have, you will only be able to get into a community or technical college.

Another thing you should do to better your chances of getting into a university is to do extracurricular activities (sports, volunteering, clubs, maybe even a job).

Best of luck!

Answer 5

ignore all these  idiots, I am in the top grammar school in NI and if you got 1 more B , you'd get back in to Do A-levels..every1 here is american

Answer 6

Mate if you want to have a future in Computing then these should all what matter the most:

GCSE Applied ICT

GCSE Key Skills

GCSE English

GSCE Mathematics

Adult Literacy and Numeracy

Those will have major role in if you wish to enroll in Uni.

Answer 7

i think there fine there what mine look like

Answer 8

you got more than 5 A-C's so great

Answer 9

when you go to unis they will mostly look at your as and a predictions. However we were advised when i was doing mine that if you work your very hardest at gcse and get a c this sort of effort is goign to get you an e come a level time. the effort you put in for your A grades will get you a C unless you ramp it up. So i guess your A levels need to be at the cs for a chance of a good uni.

In terms of getting a job in computing it depends what kind of job. If you wnat to be technical coding or building we usually look for people with strong maths and sceinces backgrounds. if it is more general it management then strong communication skills and a track record of learnign quickly are proabbly mroe important.

good luck

Answer 10

They look OK, but try to get that D up. You did well in your IT exams so should be good for computing.

Answer 11

Change your C´s   to A´s    and then will be  OK.

Answer 12

dont know, i've never done GCSE, but i got 2:1 for my masters.

hey, a good university might not get you a good job in the future.

i went to a very good uni and i have MBA. and currently i'm unemployed.

Answer 13

good but get rid of those D's...

D are like wannabe F's!

Answer 14

In order to do something with computing, you will have to get your math grade up, also your media studies grade. I think you can do it though! And get rid of that D.

Answer 15

As long as u got Five GCSE'S including maths and english lang above a c it doesn't matter wat else u got. Its A levels that are much more important.

Answer 16

no offence dude... but my mum would go balistic if I got grades like your's for my GCSE's...

Answer 17

they are okay. but maybe you should try harder. remember the better the grades the better the chance of getting a place in the university. god bless.

Answer 18

C IN GEOGRAPHY!? Come on you can do better than that.

Answer 19

Umm...If i got a C or a D my mom would get extremely mad...i suggest you dont show your parents if u havent already!

Answer 20

Your grade average is a C- right now.  Try to bump up your average in easier subjects like English and Communication.  You should be able to get B's in these subjects, which will help to bring up your overall average score.  Also, how in the world do you manage to get a D in Religious Education?!  Just showing up to class pretty much garantees you a B!

Answer 21

u need to have at least a 3.4 to get into a great college, right now i would say u have a 2.8. yea, u need like A's and B's.

Answer 22

Only problem is that your chosen AS levels are all 'weak' subjects. You will have a very limited choice of Uni places.

Answer 23

that's alot of grades! i think they are good/ alot better than mine lol!

Answer 24

Not so well. I'd call you an almost below average student.

Answer 25

It looks like you need to put a little more effort into your studies. Especially the ones that are less interesting to you than others. I know that's hard to do when you have no use for a subject, but it has to be done.

Answer 26

get ur d up

Answer 27

they r very good! for any good plac eu need atleast 5 A-C;s and uve got that if u want to improve get ur D up to atleast a C like all ur others. but really they r perfectly fine :)

Answer 28

you need to bring those c's and d's up.

Answer 29

they look decent...just pull up the d

Answer 30

Thats a lot of c's and d's.

Answer 31

Being honest..I would think you don't try too much or don't understand those classes. But you can do better.
