Tom there must have been NC Levels when you were at school - what about the SATs, etc. everything up to y10? When teachers gave you a level 5, 6, 7 etc. - those are NC levels.

 

[Highlander999]

I don't think we have them in Scotland (or at least I didn't) Just Standard Grades (GCSEs) then Highers (AS) and then Advanced Highers (A Level)

WOOO...got gold in senior maths challenge...only 1 of 4 people in the whole college who got gold

I did that, don't know my mark yet but I know one of my mates circled the boxes in stead of drawing a line through them so he failed, well actually he got 25 because he didn't lose any marks for getting them wrong.

NC levels are your predicted grades.

Good. I for a horrible moment felt how it must be, to be like you old members with all these phrases which "the youth of today" go on about

They are? Never heard of the phrase NC level. It was just a predicted grade. Which was never numerical either, always alphabetised.

I'm only 20, Tom.

Scotland does have a different system but I am surprised that Nigel doesn't know about NC levels either.

I know what you mean now you explained what they do, but I've never heard the term NC levels.

Key Stage 3? Year 8 and 9 of high school? NC levels?

GCSE was the first time my grades were letters.

I much prefer the GCSE grading system, it gets annoying with all the 5as, 6cs and whatnot. It's a lot easier have a simple C,B,A etc. Plus a A* looks better than a 8c .
