You are obviously into acting i see...

Don't worry too much, they are just that, mocks.

im taking it this is some kind of upper level education result? your grades sound good basing them off an american standard, so congrats.

Do you have a reference based on the american grade school system for what these are?

Think of it this way: GCSEs are OWLs and A-levels are NEWTs

ah, thats actualy a good way to explain it. There is no equivilant to that in the american education system...... you graduate highschool, then either go to college, a technical school, or get on the job training....

Nope, A levels are MUCH tougher than SAT's. Think SAT II's (since they're subject specific) but much more intensive. Unlike the American education system where everyone can go to college and the weeding out begins during college and not everyone makes it, educational systems that utilize A and O level exams begin the weeding BEFORE college and everybody graduates. I'm fairly sure that's how it works. What I am sure about though is that most high school students in the states would fail A levels.

Actually JK Rowkling made OWLs and NEWTs as exact parallels to how they are. Apparently the standards have lowered significantly since the days of yore (which would explain me getting an A in First Language English when it is my second language) and we called GCSEs General Certificate for Sitting an Exam.

A-level is equivalent to America's SAT system I believe. I use the term "euivalent" loosely of course.

My school also takes GCSEs (Well, "I"GCSEs) and I got my results today. I think I did alright:

First Language English -----A
First Language Spanish---- A
Literature (English)---------A
Literature (Spanish)--------B
Chemistry (I took Core)-----C
Biology---------------------B
Physics (Was seriously ill and was in the hospital) NO RESULT
Mathematics (Core) --------C
Computer Studies-----------B
Design & Technology--------C

One person in my class go 2 A*s, that is mental.
