According to the report, to gain minimum marks in English GSCE papers — an exam taken by hundreds of thousands of 16-year-olds across England every year — pupils must demonstrate "some simple sequencing of ideas" and an ability to put "some words in appropriate order".

OMG!!!!

OK, seeing as I am doing my GCSE's next year my answer to: "describe the room you are sitting in" will be:

I am sitting on a hard back brown chair, in a very wide and spacious room full of tired 16 years old, how boring is this? The room is painted a dull browny yellow colour with lots of ... cobwebs! Ewwwwww;scared of spiders.

That would get an A, wouldn't it? :giggling: In red are the punctuation

Assalamualaykum

Its easy to get the first few marks, but it gets much harder as you get more.

I think this is great. Its about time we got beyond arbitrary taboo words.

Racial slurs are one thing, but words like the F word are taboo simply for the sake of being taboo. The reason why they are taboo is long long forgotten and keeping the taboo is nonsensical.

Easy?! :exhausted

I wrote that Israel were zionists and murderers and i got a u just because of that...

a u? What's a u? You mean an F?

 

[Fishman]

a u? What's a u? You mean an F?

U= ungraded. Its part of the strange system that is the British GCSE grading scale:
A*
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
U

lol, what's a g?
and what's A*?

 

[Fishman]

lol, what's a g?
and what's A*?

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.

 

[Pk_#2]

a u? What's a u? You mean an F?

Ungraded. Poor Bro. Fishman

 

[Pk_#2]

easy compared to pakistan lol!

What ARE you chattin' 'bout, all you gotta do in Pakistan to get the grades you want, is hand over a bunch of rupees!

:skeleton:

In England though a-g is a pass if you are going on a apprentiship...

Does it stand for anything? g as in go home, dumnass?

 

[Fishman]

No, G simply comes after F in the alphabet.

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

lol, so there's 5 different catergories of not passing.

 

['Abd al-Baari]

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.
