How much do exam grades effect you in life?

Question

Like GCSEs for example. Im expected to get A's and do well but how much will they really help me in life? Are grades more or less important than experience/going to after school clubs ect

Answer 1

GCSES are fairly important.

But A Levels are more important.

For example, if you don't do as well as u hope in ur GCSE's dont panic.

I did totally rubbish.

And I've got a second chance.

Now I'm doing my A Levels and its a fresh start.

So don't worry because the A Levels are the big things.

But, you should try and at the VERY least pass ur btec, one core subject and one subject u picked and thats at the very least, i hope ur school works like that, lol!

Answer 2

Experiences are what counts, along with your attitude, and the things you learn. But it has to be balanced. If all you do is learn and have no experiences you have nothing to talk about when you meet people, unless all you meet are nerds.

Answer 3

Experience is worth a lot, but at 16 your not expected to have it. If you get all A's then good for you! It makes life easier and you don't have to work hard to get qualifications to get anywhere. I had to wait until I was 21 until i could go to Uni cos my grades were bad. It saves a lot of hassle if you have good grades.

Answer 4

It gives you a lot of confidence to take on this world of technology and science.
