Guest lightnix Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Strangely enough, I did a Geography GCSE paper as a part of my GCE 'O' Levels, way back in 1978. It was a test paper, to see how well we'd do with it, but counted as an 'O' Level in the end. I got a Grade B - like I did with everything else :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew C Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Not to knock anyone who has done well, but please don't be under the illusion that there hasn't been a lot of "Grade Inflation" over the last couple decades. The Gov. decreed that schools were going to get better, and what is easier than paying more to teachers, training MORE teachers etc? Why, you move the goal posts! I don't know what the numbers are, but it was the case that the mark to get an A was in the top few % of the pupils taking the paper, a B a wider band, C wider still, decreasing back down through D-F. So you get a bell curve. Now we hear that something like 60% get C or above, and a significant percentage get A*. How? It's maths Jim, but not as we know it!

paulears Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Moderation: Could we suggest that the idea of this topic is to broadcast your GCSEs, received today. With due respect to everyone, what anyone got even a couple of years ago has no real link to this years crop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
