Evan got his GCSE results today in the mail. Before I tell you how (well) he did, I need to explain GCSE's. In Years 10 & 11 in the UK (the US equivalent of 9th and 10th grades), the kids do their GCSE years which is a program of intensive study in areas that they choose at the end of Year 9 (8th grade). Evan chose three sciences which he takes simultaneously for two full years vs. a single science class for a year like at home and then other subjects like Spanish, Design & Technology, English, Maths, etc. They have subject-specific exams at the end of Year 11 which can be compared to AP exams at home, but they determine eligibility for college admissions here like our SAT's and ACT's. Evan just finished Year 10 and had to take the first half of his science GCSE exams and a Religious Education GCSE in June. Scores range from top scores of A* to F.
Evan achieved the following scores:
Chemistry; A*
Physics: A
Biology: B
Religious Ed: C
I would say that these scores reflect a genetic disposition towards science from both parents and towards organized religion from one parent...
Needless to say, we are very proud of these scores!
