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...
)
