Morning!

I have heard people talking about getting "An A Band 1". Now forgive my total noobishness, how can you tell? I remember reading on the BBC website last year about a guy who was dissapointed because he got an A band 2 in amoungst his A band 1's. But.....what are these? And how can you tell which band of anything you were?!

If the answer is incredibly obvious please give me a slap round the face, I'm tired

The bands are given to the school you'd have to ask your teachers. To be honest they dont contribute to much other than ego .

Thanks Michael, as I sat here and thought about what I just asked I realised I'd asked someone that before. I think I'm going crazy!

I don't care about bands, A's are A's in my books!

-.- -.- -.-

I just got an email from some friend saying "Oh my God Ally, guess what, I got 3 A band 1's!"

How does she know? I don't like this bigheadedness already, I was dead chuffed with my 5 A's.

You should be chuffed with 5 A's - that's excellent. I waited until I went back to school, and I asked my teachers individually, but I think your friend might have phoned up the school directly to find out. The school would have been partially staffed on results day, but I'm not sure about tomorrow

I think some teachers may refuse to share your percentage with you, especially if you only missed a certain grade by a marginal amount. Sometimes it's better just not to know! (I am using 'you' in response to people in general here lol)
