Proof of grades

[aproctor]

why don't you just retake it if it is such a bother.....

 

[Glaucus]

Lol, maybe i should. So theoretically i could change my D in maths on my CV to a C and i wouldn't be asked to bring proof of my gcse's to an interview?

It depends on the job and the company. Some do some don't

Would take about a year of night school

 

[aproctor]

no it wouldn't if you can do the maths, just sign up for the next exam, if you can't do maths then if you lie it will come out soon enough anyway therefore do it.

you also say its the thing keeping you back from the good jobs, i don't know many "top" jobs that just require several gcse's

I can do simple maths. I just can't remember trigonometry and stuff. Where would be the first port of call to sign up to retake it? I'll have a browse on google.

Trigonometry IS simple maths.

Many ask for certain GCSE maths and english requirements. That includes jobs which recruit graduates.

Your local high school or college might well offer night classes in it but it will obviously depend on where you are what options you have available.

I wrote 'lots' in my exams and qualifications from school and got my job, so no.

 

[BigglesPiP]

All my certificates are in my file folder locking cabinet thing.

Never been asked to see them, I don't think GCSE and even A level grades matter to an employer when you have/are doing a degree, my grades suck and I still got as far as an assessment centre for BAE SYSTEMS.

 

[pitchfork]

I never thought gcses actually counted that much for for employers, i thought they were purely so you could advance to college.
Then college matters very little, it's degree's and experience that matter.

Thats the way I see it.

I was 1 mark off a B for my AS Maths...would it be ok to change it from a C to a B on my CV?

 

[pitchfork]

Trigonometry IS simple maths.

i wouldn't say that, it's all equations and stuff.
Complex to me, I got a B at gcse and anything which isn't plain and simple maths anyone can understand + - / *. I am rubbish at it. I don't understand how equations work which is why I am rubbish with them.
like why does half of one side of a triangle * another = suface area. Or whatever it is. I haven't a clue really.

When I was looking for work last year one company wanted to know my grades from my final years of school. This seemed bizarre, since I left school 10 years ago, and under a completely different system (ie, Tasmania, Australia).

 

[Mad old tory]

I think quite a few are interested in Maths and Eng Lang, for graduate positions at least, but after that I don't think it particularly matters

Just buy a book full of examples and do it yourself. If you've already got a D it would take very little effort and question practice to achieve a C.

Just change your name by deed poll to someone who passed all their exams, and then contact the exam boards to request duplicates of your certificates.
