What do GCSE Results look like?
You will get a different certificate for each exam board. Each certificate will have the name of the exam board at the top, your details and then will list your subjects and the grade you got. The grade will be a letter, unless it is an exam which gives a pass/merit. Subjects which are based entirely on the exam and not on coursework, e.g. biology, will show you the percentage you got in the exam as well. Some results will show you the different parts of the exam broken down, for example when i got my spanish results it showed me the grades i got for the oral, reading, listening and coursework, and my overrall grade. Most exams don’t do this though. The grades won’t be listed from highest to lowest. It’s possible the subjects are listed in alphabetical order, but i can’t remember. You don’t get a letter to go with your certificate. The certificates will usually have a little heat proof mark on them which proves they are real. This is a little blue or red circle which changes colour if
