Default A/S and A level results
Sorry I have to brag now. I got my A/S level results today, AABB! I couldn't believe it! I was so sure I was going to fail!
It really annoys me though how they're saying that they're getting easier - they're sooo not! grrrr

Congrats! What are they in?

I doubt they are getting easier. You guys are probably just getting smarter!

congrats yes dont reckon they are getting easier might have something to do with the fact that more kids realise they need good grades to get on and improved teaching methods over the years, but that wouldn't make the news then would it

Well done new bud, I think the exams are harder nowadays, when we were kids we didn't work as hard which is why there were fewer high grades. AABB is excellent, what are you aiming at doing from here?

Well its a good job that your Psychology wasn't last or I would be singing the winner takes it all, ABBA.

My wife is a teacher she became one by doing a PGCE, after a few years working in the real world as she puts it!!. If you want to teach I would definately recommend not going straight into teaching, its very useful to gain some practical experience before teaching as this certainly helps you to formulate schemes of work that are work geared and of far more interest and benefit to your class.

Well done you, celebrate and enjoy.

Good on you, a friend of mine is a Chemistry teacher and is now deputy head. I'm sure you'll have loads of fun on your gap year.
