Exam results!!!

That's because they are university units, not high school units - as such they tend to describe what they do

Scaling doesn't bother me, it happens - I've got some good results off of it, some bad. I'm still top of the unit.

My not so hot results for my first year of my first degree dragged my overall GPA down... while at the same time I had a similar attitude to yourself, I found employers were not into analyzing your marks on a unit by unit basis, they look straight at your GPA (hell, if I had 500 applicants for a small number of positions I would do the same), first year subjects are easy, something I put to use in my LLB.

No need to worry. I got a II.I, thats the second highest grade possible. I was 3 marks (percent) off a first overall. Its not that I did badly at all, just that I personally feel that I could easily have gotten a first, with just a minimal amount of additional effort. Had a good first year as well, so all in all I'm still very happy with both my grade and how much social time I had during the year. Plus, my first year grades dont count at all for my degree. Different Uni system over here I suppose...

Whenever it was I did 'em, 5 As at A-level - in Bio, Chem, Maths, Further Maths and Stats. I also got a 1520 in those US SAT thingies. Fun fun fun.

Of course! My bad... that would also explain why the marks come in F/P/C/D/HD form!

Guess so. I have had some hard times trying to explain the differences between our systems to American students, but I don't feel like doing it for another country!
