Woo hoo, got a letter today with my finalised results for the year and they have revised one of my grades. It's gone from an F to a B+ that is in my mind not a bad change. ;) So 2 A- 2 B+ a B a B- and embarrassingly a D thanks to a really bad showing in the maths exam (that said only 3 people passed it).


Since they granted university status to every tin-pot adult education establishment.....

Eh? Since when did uni results (even if they are just for a particular year) *ever* get quoted in terms of A/B/C??

What did you get?

Oh, dropped out didn't you ;-) Never mind eh :-D

Well played :-)

I graduate on 12th of September - assuming I'm not in hospital (yes, it's that time again...)

I went to a proper, real, as in been a university for several decades, sort of University where you needed proper A-level grades to get in. I didn't go to one of the new universities that have standards barely higher than those of the A-Levels of my time.

HTH.

So what does this actually mean in terms of actual results i.e. classification?

Probably on the boundary between a 1st and 2:1 but there doesn't seem to be any way to work back to that from the individual results without knowing the exact marks.

Wonder what your results would have been like if you had taken exams before higher education standards were dumbed down to level of the average Sun reader?

In terms of acadmic achievement, the dumbing down of todays higher education standards, means such results are not that difficult to gain.

Isn't it interesting how jealousy affects people. Oh and DFTP!

Isn't it always fun to see how the people who say that never back it up by going and actually doing better.

Not jealous in the slightest.............your results suggest to me that you are certainly not all that bright!

Aww, leave Ken alone, he's bored because there's no kids to watch outside the schools at the moment.

I got a 2:1 *pride*.

Would you care to tell people which qualifications you obtained, and where? I mean being an itinerant welder must require at least a PhD from a University founded before 1800, mustn't it?

Don't go asking him that he'll need to go and make something up and without any understanding of the system it could cause his "brain" to implode.

Ken's good at making things up, like names for example, he's used so many he forgets who he is.

Like the day that he imagined he was a blonde female:

I bet you 10p the university I went to was established longer than the university you went to.
