Yeah it's not called NC levels for us either. Just different areas have different sayings I suppose. It depends what year you are in for it to be alphabeticed/numerical.

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

GCSE was the first time my grades were letters.

Heard of Key Stage levels, obviously.

Never heard of any of those terms. Colin would be a better person to ask, with him actually teaching up here

I'm only 20, Tom.

While I still have the word "teen" after my age, your old

There's no Key Stage in Scotland; instead we have something called the 5-14 curriculum with levels from A to F. There is a process of continuous formative assessment throughout the first 9 years of school before pupils start to work on their standard grades (akin to GCSE) in S3.

Your old what?
It amazes me how often that contraction gets mis-used.
It's like "They're going to ride their bikes over there."

(sorry but it is the education thread )

Pah. I knew what I meant and Nigel knew what I meant

 

[Cricketdude]

Colin, in class are you actually angry or do you do it because you want discipline?(what am I talking about, Colin and discipline.) if you know what I mean.

Singing...Crayons...Eyes. Enough said!

I got a level 7b for my English assessment we had to do which means I'm expected a level 8c by the end of the year...

 

[Dr. Pepper]

That's impossible isn't it? I thought the highest you could get for English in Year 9 was 7. You could only get 8 in Maths.

Anyway for my Science SAT's paper, I got moved up a grade to a 7. It was a borderline 6 and was sent for remarking :happy.

So for my SAT's:

English-7
Maths-8
Science-7

 

[Jaztheman]

Nice one, Mani. You did incredibly well in Maths and in them all.

Nope apparently anyway. You can get an 8 in every subject now I think, or at least in English and Maths(plus humanities I think). I'm currently a 7b/c at the moment in Maths as well so hopefully I don't mess up too bad. I think I'm setting myself up for failure.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Well you don't do SATs anymore though do you?

 

[Magz]

My highest level is only 7c .

And I've got like a level 5a in maths......I get As and A8s when I do GCSE stuff, this is kinda perverse.

 

[Jaztheman]

Nah they got cancelled this year, which means we're the first Year 9's not having to do them.

My highest level is only 7c .

That's still way above average, mate. What subjext is it in?
