Busines studies- hmmm A/B
PE- A/A*
Gepgraphy- A
Music A*
Maths A/B
Sciences- A/B
English A*

i will go on to take a PHD in english at university and become a DR of
english  hopefully

Edit: of if u oldies av allready done them u can put wat u did and what u got and what you went on to do if u want

I got 1 A, 8 Bs and 1 C at GCSE, I got 2 As, 1 B and 1 C at AS Level (Computing, Business Studies, Chemistry and Physics repectively).

Hopefully, the subject of this thread isn't an indication of your command of the English language.

no lol if u want that u can check my essay its on another thread

edit: wow thats pretty good results

I chose:
Media Studies
Resistant Materials
History
Art

And you have to do: Maths, English, Science, IT, PE (half), Citizenship (half). Predicted all Cs. I need 4/5 A*-C passes and a C in IT to get into the college level I want to do.

PS: We have to do IT because our school is a 'Technology College' .

I chose;

History, Geography, Spanish and Graphics.

We have to do Maths, Science, English (duh), and R.E.

My predicted grades (from school data) are:

English, English Lit: A (I reckon I can easily get an A* though.)
Maths: A* (I haven't a clue why, I suck at maths...)
Science: A
R.E: A
Spanish: B
Graphics: A/B
Geography: A
History: A

I think that I could get most of those up to A*'s if I work hard enough, but I'd be good with A's and B's.

I want to be a Spanish/English translator, or something with Spanish, English, Geography or History.

wow ur pretty clever

Would you really want a doctorate in English? It means your job would most probably be a teacher lecturing at universities about English.

I think your aiming really high for music, it is not an easy subject. Performing arts are probably the hardest to get good grades in

As for me, I have done two GCSE's already, Religion ( A ) and Statistics ( D ). I do think you are aiming a little high at the moment, you may be disappointed when do you get your results .

ummmm about the music ive allready done ALL the coursework im taking it a year early ive been playing piano for 7 years and drums for about 5 so ummmm and yea i agree maybe some subjects i am aiming a bit high but im not stupid.

Well.. I done my Standard Grades (= GCSEs north of the border) last summer, and my Highers (=AS Level, I think ) this summer. This year I'm taking Advanced Higher (A-Level I *think*) Maths & Physics, as well as Higher Human Biology.

[Results:
Standard Grade:
Maths - 1 (1 & 2 are credit (the highest grade), 3 & 4 general and 5 & 6 foundation)
English - B (Intermediate 2 - we done a fancy exam for it )
French - 1
Computing - 1
Physics - 1
Chemistry - 1
Craft & Design - 2
Geography - 2

Highers:
Maths - A
English - C (I'm not good at this )
Chemistry - A
Physics - A
Computing - A]

Btw, I believe that Standard Grades are slightly easier than GCSEs because we do them over two years, but they're bigger courses as well...
They're really really easy in hindsight after doing highers. (And Higher is easy in hindsight after starting Advanced Highers... )
