severed arow Posted September 3, 2010 Author Posted September 3, 2010 Aren't the A-levels the important ones? Nope because gcse's determine what colleges accept you which is where you get a levels so the better grades the ebtter college also the really important ones are degrees masters ect which u take in university they determine which jobs you will be eligable for and at the moment due the current economical and job climate university are looknig at gcse grades as a basis to accepting people into their uni and seems as i want to go to Cambridge uni im gonna need to work hard and get good gcse and college grades.

watch me tb Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 i did shit for grades in hs. but in college i did great. high school taught a lot of bs shit that i am never going to use and basically was a waste of time. in college i went for welding, and since i was interested in it, and wanted to get a job in that field, i actually did what was required. and welding pays great, so i will be getting payed as much or more than people that were getting 3.0 gpa or higher in hs.
pur3 0wnt2 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 arent you going to 6th form or College? thats where the real grades are. You need A levels nowadays.
