So in England at the end of secondary education, we have to take a set of tests for the subjects we have studied. These are known as GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education).
In total, I sat 23 exams which started on the 15th May and finished on the 15th June. Let's just say... I was glad to see the back of that exam hall!
When it came to our last exam, I think we were all ready for our long summer break hehe.
It didn't help that the exam content was said to be more difficult than previous years and a change in the grading system from A*-G to 9-1, added to the confusion.
For anybody who is unaware of the new 9-1 grading system in England, here is what each grade is roughly equal to in the old grading system we use to have:

With that being said, Thursday 23rd August arrived and results day now stared me directly in the face.
With my mum waiting in the car, I walked into the centre alone but was greeted by so many familiar faces inside.
Soon after that, I was handed my results...and to be fair... I was pleasantly surprised...
My results
• Maths - 6
• English Literature - 7
• English Language - 5
• French - 7
• Chemistry - 7
• Biology - 6
• Physics - 6
• Business Studies - B
• Geography - 5
Btec Pe - Distinction*
My mum was thrilled with my results when I got back to the car to tell her!
Eventually, when I got home, I spoke to other members of my family who congratulated me and were pleased to hear of my results.
Overall, It was a great day spent with friends, and topped off nicely with a Chinese takeaway. That went down quite nicely indeed ;)
Next mission is to decide what A-levels to take and start preparing for my driving test!
Thanks for reading,
Jonathan

Nicely done @jonathanyoung!
What A levels are you thinking of?
I only past my test a few years ago (aged 36), don't worry about getting this right away! :D
Thank You @abh12345! I'm not 100% sure what I want to take as of yet but I was thinking along the lines of Business studies, English lit/lang and psychology.
Still an achievement to pass your driving test no matter the age, congrats! I'm going to start revising for the theory test soon... one less thing in the way then :)
