"Oh man, your German aquaintances must be really hungry" is what he got, probably >:)
I got 7 A-C grades, and was top male student for my year (girls always do better than boys...).
This year, some of our students were getting in excess of 12 A*-C grades (or equivalents), inlcuding the early GCSE's that sat two years ago, but not inlcuding the early AS/A Level's they have already taken (and passed).
When I did them I got 2 A's, 5 B's and 7 C's

Still not understanding this british stuff. What grade are you in?
What the heck?
Well, I submitted my AP test results today and I'm getting 16 college credits for free.
Umm... What the heck is a GCSE?
Also, spell check dislikes the word of this testing thing.

Congrats. Here in the states, our universities are supposed to be four years long, usually with about 18 credit-hours per semester. If those AP credits carry over like they do here, you would have just knocked out 1/8 of your college career before ever starting.
Demi, I am in America. I was just trying to ironically show off to Brits who wouldn't know what I was talking about.
So are these things like taking your N.E.W.T.s and O.W.L.s in Harry Potter?

They may actually be OWLs, which makes sense. You do more subjects in the lower level on. Also I recall Gandy being a year or two younger than me.
a D in german? im disappointed in you mister white sir

haha OWLS's made me laugh. ^^
Not sure what GCSE's are compared to what the Americans take...
Yeah Flamey i think i am.. im 16, 17 In Sep.
In the UK we study for like 4 years heading towards the GCSE's in the 5th year we take tests in all the subjects. However some people take some GCSE's early like Maths i did in my forth year (year 10)
After this you can go to further education and do AS / Full A level courses for 2 years.. Then uni.
Just tried to clear it up for the people what didn't understand :)
