I kinda gave up on art...

[shlin28]

Yeah... I'm struggling at art too, only barely scraped a B on the last project... (The teacher stills thinks I'm an A grade student, but I don't think its gonna happen )

and wow you take far fewer lessons than I have to... I gotta take first the core subjects (English, Maths, 3 Sciences), then RE short course... PE short course... IT short course... and they are all compulsory!!! and then 3 optional subjects, then a foreign language.

[Ferret]

I did all of that too, except we only get two GCSE's out of our three sciences, despite having individual lessons for each, we don't get a GCSE out of PE, IT isn't compulsory but you have to do some lessons to learn it and you can do something else rather than a language, but almost everyone does one anyway.

As for art, I did one or two "A*" pieces but I barely did any work, after realising how much I had to do and how boring it was I just handed my stuff in about a month early so I could focus on other subjects, I probably could have gotten an A if I had carried on but it may well have lowered some other grades, I need time for the org too

What's the percentage bracket equivalent for a A*, A, B, C, and so on?

[Ferret]

It depends on the subject but it's usually 70%-80% for an A* and 10% less per grade.

[FactionHeir]

So what's 81-100?

Weird British system. In my days an A was 92.5-100
[edit]
That was the American system though.

[shlin28]

I think its around 90% for an A*, but it changes every year because the exam boards only let the top *inser precentage here* of people get A* (or any other grades), at least, thats what my teachers told me.
