Back in the day (when exams were hard!) I finished with 4 As at A-level in Maths, Physics, Computer Science and General Studies with a B in Classical History.

But that was back in the day.

I got my exam results last Tuesday. And we Scots don't go into school for ours, the Postie comes round at the proper time (usually) and delivers them to our homes.

I got eight ones (best mark) in Standard Grade (equivalent to GCSE, methinks) English, maths, french, chemistry, physics, graphic communication, geography, and computing.

I have started highers now (equivalent of A-levels) in English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Classics. Preliminary (mock) exams in January, then the exams proper in May

Classics rules as long as you get taught about the good stuff. Learning about the Fall of the Roman Republic, the Spartans, the Pelopenesian War, the Odyssey, the Iliad, Alexander the Great, Caesar, Pompey etc will make it the best subject you will ever do in school.
However, don't let your teacher start wolfing on about columns and pottery. Mind you, I did do an awesome piece of work on the mathematical precision and ratios at work in the construction of the Parthenon.

We are studying mostly literature of Athens and Rome, and about Religion and Belief, so we are going to study bits of the Iliad and the Odyssey. She hasn't told us what we are studying of Rome yet, however...
