I'm curious whats the best anyone in these forums has got in a serious test e.g Gcse, A levels, Junior cert, Leaving cert or any other similar test
I aers teh best
I got 2 A's a GCSE which I was happy with.
I recently got a C in GCSE maths which Im over the moon about.
And I'm getting distinctions on every project in college right now, but being 22 helps.
This is a really weird thread but I can't quite figure out why.
Got an A, 8 Bs and a C at GCSE. Ended college with a DDM (top mark = DDD, so one lower).
Got a 93/100 on my last piece of University coursework.
I went to a great school, I did.
Maths (I suck at maths) - E
English literature and language (I'm good at) - D, D (The english teacher also LOST some of my GCSE work prior to the exams.)
Art - E (The teacher looked at 80% of my work done so far and said "You should get a C for that!" She also embarresed me and held up my work to everyone telling them what they should be achieving. Bah, I bet they all got A+)
I am somewhat bitter about the whole experience. I shan't even tell you the grades for the other billion lessons.
I rated top 100 in a nationwide maths test and got top score in a similar test on German... but we don't have tests like that here. And I pretty much forgot all about maths after these, so nowadays I suck. I also did a IQ test, but that's too personal, not that I screwed it up, but still.
I once scored 120% on a math test.
Highschool drop out! Whoo! \o/
I have the best testes.
My job is a software tester, so I had better be good at them... unfortunately I have to wrestle with IBM Rational TestManager to do so :(
I got 4 As in my Highers, and 5 '1's and 2 '2's in my Standard Grades. And a 2:1 Honours at Uni.
I got 4 A's 5 B's and a C for GCSE
And A, C, D for my A-Levels
And a D for my AS-Level
Uni-Wise, I graduated with a first (but that's just because I rule)
Can't work out why you'd want to know, but there ya go.
7 A's and an A* for my O' Levels
1 A, 1 B, 1C and 1E in my A' Levels
1420 in my SATs (much before they introduced the essay)
1960 in my SAT2s
I think my brain is slowly rotting. Help.
However, we had our sessional papers recently, and I scored 15%, which is great. Especially considering that the class average was 12%, and the maximum score achieved was a 38%. Nobody passed. Yes, we're trying to get rid of the teacher.
doing my gcses at the moment.
seem to be doing well.
did well in sats i think.
ok, I got A, B, and C from my PMS and B, D, g3 and Asus4 from my CxQF and X-6, A B, grades from my Xerox-9 crates and B,D, A, A+ and a pot from CGPDGCSTRD and PC from the Triosoft store
I hope I'm not the only one beyond confused with all these grade systems.
I got 9.10/10 at a history exam... is that any good? (it was romanian history btw and I fekking hate romanian history!)
Hillbilly: I'm usually pretty clueless when people talk about grades here too. Even the Americans, which puzzles me, since I'm American. Maybe it's because I'm in California. Or maybe it's because I've only gone through private schools for my whole life. All I know is that people say "I got an X on the FUBLAT!" and I say "You might want to have a physician take a look at that."
I did get a level 2 GNVQ Intermediate in I.T. Whatever that is.
And I have IBT2, but that didn't have a test..
In school:
I was in top group in history! Which meant I was in top group for Geography too, as they fell under the "humanities" banner. I didn't have a clue about Geography.
Religious Education fell under "humanities" too, but that was easy. We were told to just copy words out of books without ever taking anything in about it. And you wonder why I got appalling grades?
ACT - 34 (out of 36)
SAT - 2200 (out of 2400)
Tests are boring. :P
I made an IQ test, once.
The result was somewhere in the 120's.
Hm, I think I got about 58% on the MIT Nerd Test :)
SATs:
Maths - 8
English - 7
Science - 7
I also already have two C's - did them last year - and am probably going to get high grades on most of my exams. \o,
- Huw
.
is it just me or did everyone who posted do better than the (english) national average. Don't know about the american average myself.
But average in c/d in GCSEs and same in a levels
Does this mean that AGS users are just smater than average or the ones with low scores don't wish to tell us about it?
as for me
Gcses
drama - A* (woo) english - A Maths - A History - b Food technology - C science - A
Religious studies - C
A levels
Maths - Ungraded (means I failed so bad that i don't even get a mark, not sure what happened there)
Media studies A
History D
drama C
Now at university
I have seen a few posts of people worried about tests... seriously the more you worry the worse it will be. Don't spend all night before cramming, you probably won't renember anyway, your brain will appreciate sleep more.
And don't do what my friends did and come to an exam rather drunk! they failed and slept in it.
I don't regard my pathetic grades as sign of my own intelligence. Mind you, my best friend at school got only one A and he's REALLY smart at maths and Geography etc!
So my maths sucks. So what? I've made a decent adventure game, wrote some fine music if I do say so myself, can use most popular PC applications and my English is pretty good.
But hey, lets not get confused with intelligence and education. The smartest mind in history might not have been able to read, but could employ amazing tactics on the battlefield in war. Or something.

charlemagne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne) maybe?
i actually did my tests with less than 5 hours sleep a night for 3 weeks.
I average around 40% - 50% for most of my subjects, excepting computer studies which I average around 90%.
Pretty weird eh? (I am trying harder now, I'm hoping to raise most of my marks by about 10%, last term I raised my aggregate by 9.2%!)
(blame AGS!!)
