Its not bad enough for you to get no grade, but it is even worse than an F.

An A* ('ay star') is the best grade on the scale. Its right at the top and is really hard to get.

No, G simply comes after F in the alphabet.

You need a grade C or above to get a GCSE in a subject.

A* > C is what you need if you want to carry on studying, upto A Levels, or Degree Level at Uni. Some colleges, now only accept students with A* > B due to too many apllicants.

For Apprentiships, i think you can be accepted with A*'s > F's, but that usually depends on the employers/colleges.



P.S Lets get back on topic.

They are easy to avoid falling into though, you have to be pretty bad to get a U. Even this pupil who just swore on the paper managed to get a G.

Wa'Alaykum Salaam,

I am NOT liable for making you argue with your teacher, tsk

*Smak* Don't make me get the carrot out!


On topic: Kid should have got excluded, the question wasn't even answered correctly, he attempted the question with the use of foul language, he needs a smak!

AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarkatuh.
