What Did You Get In Your GCSE's?

7 A's and 2 B's here. Wouldn't say the results hav changed my life, but studying the subjects was definately worthwhile. Though my grades did get me back to do A Levels at the school which in turn got me into Uni to do my degree which in turn got me my job, so I guess the grades do have an effect on your life!
I have no idea, I can recall an AB in science? That's about it.
My CV doesn't even mention them, even for FE I only mention where / when I went and what I studied. I don't mention grades or anything.
It doesn't matter once you're on to the next level of education.

After practising my best "revise for one day before the exam - except for RS and other equally crap subjects" technique I managed the following:
A* in Maths (taken in the January)
A* in Physics
A* in Chemistry (still a mystery to me)
A in Biology
A in German
A in English Language
A in IT
B in English Literature (what a terrible subject
)
B in DT: Resistant Materials
C in RS
C in Geography (missed a quarter of the exam out - in all the mocks we did, we only did three questions - one each from sections A, B and C. In the real exam we had to do two from section A).
As others have said, it's just a springboard to A-levels, then A-levels to Uni, then Uni to a decent job.
Am currently at the Uni stage after doing 4 A-Levels, and getting:
A in Mathematics
B in Computer Science
B in Physics
B in Economics
(I knew instinctively which subjects would be fun)...
For all its foibles, school is one of the best times of your life so savour it.

Can't remember off hand but something like:
Drama: D
French: F
Maths: B (after retake)
Double Science: B B
English Language: B (or A, can't remember, but a retake at college)
Sucky results, but.. I still have a IT GNVQ Level 2, and a IT GNVQ Level 3 Merit, and I.T. Degree, and another half Degree that I never got round to finishing and STILL haven't claimed from the uni. lol. Always wanted to do a master's but can't afford it at present
GCSE's don't make the person. Need to look at how they changed and what they achieved over time.

1 A, a load of B's and a few C's.
Hardly the best grades, but got me into A-levels so did the job.
Not a single job ever has asked me my GCSE results OR my A-levels.. they have only ever asked about my degree.
A few years after graduating no-one ever even asks me about my degree any more .. just my experience in my last role and what I can do. It's always the 'last step' of your life they are interested in. Before that, who cares?

Scottish standard grade is the equivalent? If so :
11222233
Where 1 = A*, 2 = A, etc ( I think )
11222233
