    This may sound a bit odd, but I'm not sure I understand the grading system used in the UK. I went to school in Canada, and all our grades came as a percent. I assume A is good, but what does E mean?

    ABCDE - Alphabetical. A = best, E = worst and then you can get U's which are so bad they're ungradeable. :)

    its not that a U is ungradeable, its just that its below the minimum grade (E), you still get a percentage mark for them (U = Ungraded not Ungradable ;))
    they dont just send back a note saying "wtf is this? you get a U!" :p

    Ok it looks geeky I know. Double maths kills any social life but it got me into the course I want to do.

    How nice of you to say so, the answer would be i didn't put enough work and knew very little of one module.

    Computing - A - 286/300 (which happens to be my 1st computer, an old 286)
    Physics - A
    Maths - B (predicted U)
    Geography - B
    General Studies - C - compulsary at my school, and can probs up that to a B if I resit the 1st unit

    Im pleased with that succeeded in my 2 aims: get more than all Cs and prove my maths teacher wrong :clap:
