      Hi Rhian! In 4th year at high school I got seven 2’s and one 1 at Standard Grade level. This is the old Scottish grade system which was replaced by National 5’s/6′.

      Standard grades/National 5’s and 6’s are equivalent to GCSE’s.

      In 5th year I got one B and 4 C’s at higher level and in 6th year I got 1 B at Higher level and one A at Intermediate 2 level.

      Highers in Scotland are the equivalent to A levels.

      Hope this answers your question! 🙂

    I was very much a ‘B’ student. all B’s for AS and A level and mostly B’s at GCSE with a few A’s sprinkled in.

    Hi Rhian , I was mostly a B student and got the occasional A’s when I stretched myself and when I was lazy I would get a C and rarely get an D when I completely missed the question .

    I saw a pattern to my regards and decided to change that . If I wanted an A I would have to work extra hard and create time outside my curricula activities to study.

    I realised that anything is possible if I work hard irrespective of my grades as they did not determine my ability

    Hi Rhian,
    Hope you are well. I did badly in my GCSE, only have passed most of my subject. Then I went on to do my A level which I got 2 A in Maths and Further Maths and C in Home Economics.

    I only wish to say exam result did not reflect on who you are and what you can do.

    I was very much an average student! But got slightly higher grades in the subjects I enjoyed. I went to high school in Australia, but my A-level equivalent grades were 2 B’s and 4 C’s. The B’s were in Human Biology and Maths!

    Hi Rhian, I didn’t hit top marks in my studies until Masters level. I got all As in my GCSEs (no A*s), Bs in my A levels, 2:1 in my first degree. Then I finally got the distinction in my Masters to find that no-one cares about your grades as long as you make it to the next stage.

    The grade I really remember was my final chemistry exam at A-level. I need 108% to get an A-grade, or 14% to get a B-grade. I didn’t revise properly. I got only 7% in my final exam and ended up with a ‘C’ grade. Moral of the story, don’t take anything for granted 🙂
