    In the old days were the O-levels graded or did you just pass or fail?


    They were graded, 1-5 was a pass, grade 5 was around 45-50%. The average was around 2/3.

    So nowadays GCSE's have a much larger spectrum. Anything up to a G is a pass, and A* to C being 'good' passes. So even though someone may say 'I got 11 GCSE's' they may all be grade G!

    I took mine in 1985 and grades A-C were a pass and D-F were a fail. At A level A-E were passes so the only fail grades were F, N (near miss) and U.

    I took my O levels in 1984, my A levels in 1986 and then we moved down south so I never got to go to University - which I will controversially maintain had much stricter access criteria back then than they do now.

    m8-less again!

    I know I would be! I only got 3 A*s!

    But it is a shame for her cos her mum always piled the pressure on her, she couldn't go out, and all hell broke lose when she got a bf who was a year older than her :roll: and she doesnt even know what she wants to be!

    At college she was studying Maths, Maths with statistics, Advanced maths, another maths, and sociology :?

    I agree with you there. It always used to be the best of the best that went to uni, now everybody goes just to put off making a decision for another three years :roll:

    According to a recent newspaper, there are now less than 300 old style comprehensives in existence from once nearly 4,000. Most have become so called "academies" and the aim is to totally eradicate education - sorry, I mean comprehensives - within the next few years.

    The most obvious question being; what's the bloody difference?

    Is this the same type of differentiating mentality between an old style "Personel Manager" and the new style sexed up "Human Resources Manager"?

    Maybe if you have a timetable problem at your 'academy', you dial an 0870 number costing 10 pence per minute and get to speak to someone called Jushef three thousand miles away?
