      Hi there Barnesc, I went to school in Australia, so my grades wouldn’t mean much to you. In Queensland almost everyone going to university does the equivalent of 6 A level courses, and the results from five of them count. My science-related courses were two maths courses, physics and chemistry.

      Hey 09barnesc,

      I did my exams in Scotland so they were called Standard Grades (GCSE’s), Highers and Advanced Highers (Highers are slightly easier than A levels and Advanced Highers are slightly harder). The grades you get for these run A,B,C,D,E,F.

      The science courses that I did at Standard Grade and Higher were Maths, Chemistry and Biology and I got A’s. I then did Advanced Biology and Chemistry – for Biology I got a B and Chemistry I got an A.

      🙂

      Hi 09barnesc!! I grew up in the US so I don’t even know what a GCSE or A Level is! But, I can tell you I didn’t do very well in school when I was younger. I wasn’t that into, sometimes I would do really well, but sometimes I would do terribly. I think I was bored a lot, I don’t know! Best bet though is to try really hard and do well in school. I wish I did when I was younger. But, even if you are like me, and don’t do so well in school early on you can make up for it later! =)
