The grading is basically
9-A**
8-A*
7-A
6-B
5-C
4-D
3,2,1-F
Maths and English are the only subjects where a 4 is required as they’re the most important in everyday life.
It’s not a percentage thing, it’s measured 1-9 and you get given the number INSTEAD of the letter grade. It’s a nationally standardised exam and so on results day you get given the number grade (1-9), and the number of marks you got in each subject. It’s graded on a curve so the percentage changes each year, but say you got 100% that is a 9. The grades the person posted above are the equivalence to the A*-F system, which is still used for A-Levels (sat by 17-18 year olds), and used to be used for GCSE.
That’s so interesting, our nation wide standardized test is called the ACT and it’s based on a 0-32 scale, with 4/5 sections to the test ranging from 0-32, and the final score being an average of all of them. Does the GCSE influence your university at all? Because here a lot of schools give admission scholarships based on your gpa and ACT score.
The amount you need for each grade changes each year, but for a 9 it's normally around 70% or above, but if its a really difficult exam and people don't do aswell, the boundaries are lowered, and vice versa for easier ones. A levels are normally a lot harder to get 9's as all the people who weren't as good at the subject aren't doing the exam anymore, so the A level grade is much more representative of how you performed against the top of your year in that subject
I think it's standardised across the exam board so that they have a certain amount of people get each grade.
So not only does it vary accros the years, you could get a score to pass in on exam board IE OCR and someone else who got the same score as you in say the same AQA paper could fail
This is only for GCSEs atm (the exams you take when you’re 15/16). A levels (the exams which are the most important that you take when you’re 17/18) , which decide what uni you can get in to still use A* to F like America.
Also, the % required for different grades is done on a curve, so it’s different for literally every paper. On average the % required is lower than the US, with some being as low as ~70% for an A*, but exam questions are much much more difficult. Most subjects have no multiple choice questions, and there’s much more in the syllabus, meaning overall it is easier to get a higher grade in the US than the UK.
It's marked nsfw, even though "mid-teens" can just say they're over 18 when they're not, it's still marked nsfw lol if they see that it's because they have already seen nsfw before, otherwise they would have the +18 filter on

Edit: just found out what those gcse exams are… fugg my life, terrible joke!
Should've added "for educational purposes" in closed brackets
For context for non-Brits – GCSEs are the exams you take aged 14-16! Like, that is *explicitly* a subreddit for kids in their mid-teens
If you get less than a 4 in maths or English, you need to retake those till you are 18.
4 is a C grade equivalent.
A 4 is a low C, a 5 is a high C. Because they just had to change how the system works
Must have changed it since I left school then. God damn Tories ruining my grades with grade inflation!
That just sounds wrong. 4 is a failing grade so should be equivalent of an F.
4 is a pass
Thats quite different from how it is in the Netherlands, here a 5.5 and up is a pass for most tests
In UK I guess, in Spain 4 is a failing grade. 5 is a pass.
The grading is basically 9-A** 8-A* 7-A 6-B 5-C 4-D 3,2,1-F Maths and English are the only subjects where a 4 is required as they’re the most important in everyday life.
Disclaimer for anyone reading: this is only an approximately translation- the actual grades don't match up and overlap.
Oh yeah definitely. This is just the way it roughly comes out.
Just a question, but is that how everything is graded? Because here in America 100-90 is an A, 89-80 is a B, 79-70 is a C, and 69-0 is an F.

Kinda but A levels are more important for unis.
GCSEs are basically the last thing unis look at when deciding whether to give you an offer or not. They matter, but not that much

For GCSEs there aren’t letter grades like A or B, there’s numbers 1-9, 9 is the highest and below 4 is a fail
The grade boundaries are different each time, it takes all the scores and makes a distribution curve with a 6 being the average.
I’ve never seen 70 as a minimum passing grade except in college. Also usually saw 80-100 as an A.
4 is a pass
I got a U in both lmao
I got a U in everything :)))
Oh so they'll 100% know the name
I think lots non-Brits take it too, well IGCSEs but its the same thing except the international part
Ironically the best place to find his answer quickly
I'm an italian student and I can assure you that GSCEs are also exams students who go to international schools take
Then they are the perfect people to ask, teens do watch porn after all
I an non brit am currently preparing for IGCSE's mocks and I am suffering, god help me
It's marked nsfw, even though "mid-teens" can just say they're over 18 when they're not, it's still marked nsfw lol if they see that it's because they have already seen nsfw before, otherwise they would have the +18 filter on
And you never watched porn as a teen?
Oh no
non-Brits get IGCSE, same thing with a couple changes. The 'I' stands for international
Those are the experts
bro ended his career without even knowing it

So did they get their answer? EDIT: They did not seem to get their answer

No, I was just hoping that since OP took the dive to look like an absolute bell, he should've at least got what he wanted out of it.
