    Default Final Exams! Grades?

    Geometry - 84
    Biology - 92
    English - 82
    French - 74
    Business Computer Programming - 79
    Soccer - 100 (of course)
    World Geography - TBA (just finished taking it)

    I'm doing all courses a year ahead of me so they aren't great, but they're okay...

    What did you guys get?:

    Unit assessments throughout the year until May, Preliminary Higher Examinations in January and February, Higher Examinations proper in May.

    Unless the SQA decides to make use of the soon-to-be plethora of postal services, the Royal Mail will deliver my results in August.

    I've got A-level exams in January and the Summer.

    I'm not too worried, though. I got a mark surplus last year of such magnitude that I'd actually have to try quite hard to not get As.

    Got anything to compare that to? I just mean I'm British so thats just a bunch of numbers to me :P Are these out of 100? You can take a whole exam in soccer?

    Well I dont have to worry about any of that until next year with the GCSEs, which still are not anywhere near as important as A Levels, though still important of course. Biggest thing I have to be scared about is GCSE coursework

    Yes, it's out of 100.

    100-90: the optimum. (A)

    90-80: still good. (B)

    80-70: the medium; something to try to beat. (C)

    70-60: minimum. (D)

    60-0: failing/unacceptable. Definitely not an area you want to hit.

    Won't know until the middle of January. But at least I won't have to worry about college for the next 6 weeks.

    You win? I'm a grade below you, and I'm in Biology, which is a class ahead of IPC and I got a 92 in that exam. I'm in Geometry (once again at a year below you) and I got an 84...

    You win?

    As long as I don't get a D in any classes I'll be happy. The only class I'm slightly worried about so far is Philosophy 101.

    The American school system is confusing. You have nation-wide geometry courses?
