Hi Noeleen and remember after August results come out you'll see grades 9-1 instead of A-F for GCSEs! I was chatting to my daughter and a friend and they said 'what if the year above gets picked for a job because their B looks better than our 6 on a CV?'

Thanks Wayne, I hadn't clocked that re Wales so thanks for pointing it out - have been immersed in GCSEs in our house over last few months and just emerging into the light!!

No problem - as time goes on there seem to be a lot more differences between the two countries developing. Will be interesting to see how employers react to having to deal with two different marking systems when faced with candidates from both sides of Offa's ***
