It changed a bit ago (2008 I think?) to the standard two tier system (Foundation: Grades G-E, Higher: Grades D-A*).
Ours (in 2012) were F-C and D-A* i think.
I was one of those that did well in GCSE but struggled in A-Level. I finished with an A overall in physics, took it at A-Level, straight to Us
The school making me drop it was the best thing they've ever made me do. We were one of the last years that didn't have to do maths at A-level, but with a BTEC where I am now, we're doing A-level maths and physics and really struggling with it since the last maths I did was when I passed my GCSE with a B (three marks off an A apparently) on a really easy question paper, 5 years ago this upcoming January. Something that doesn't help me put bolts in holes or weld at work!
