GCSEs

A grade 9 is above A*, so the young lad had every right to be thrilled, Maggiemaybe.
Things have changed.!

I can’t read it and if I enlargen the page it goes blurry

Screenshot it. Then save to photos and open then you can enlarge without blurring....
just call me Bill Gates?

Trueish. I left school with one O Level. Now have an MA. Had to work 4 jobs (including a night job, stacking shelves in a supermarket) to get there though. Obviously worth it in the end.

BUT it is a lot harder now. I wouldn't want to be a 16 year old now with the prospects I had then.

I read it on my Ipad by just tapping on the photo, on screen, which then appears on it's own, and large enough to read.

They have reversed the number order now. A grade 9 is excellent, a 1 is bad

I cant read it either

My friend has just posted this on facebook.

Excellent!

I overheard a young lad in Tesco Express today excitedly telling his friend he'd got a grade 9 in one subject.

I wasn't quite so chuffed when I saw I'd got grade 9 in Biology back in the day!
