I have no idea where my documents are proving my GCSES are from many years ago and I don't think my parents would have kept the paper.There nay be a way of tracing this some how and strangely I cannot even remember what my results were.Which is odd considering this may have been a pretty significant day in my life all those years ago.Im just curious now especially having a child of my own what I managed to get.Does anyone else have a copy of their results from many years ago?.Its all changed now from letters to numbers I.e the old system used to grade A-D ( I think it was.Now its 1-9

    I still have my certificate from 1989! The first GCSE exams were sat in 1988 - I was in the 2nd year of the change over from O levels. They were graded A to G but there was no such thing as an A*

    I've still got my certificate although it was from the noughties.

    I got above average grades. But it's all meaningless as I couldn't manage 'life' outside of the exams and became a completely useless adult.

    I did my GCSEs in the early 2000s and I still have my certificate. They handed out Records of Achievement and we used that to store them. Did anyone else have one? I remember we had to write a personal statement and the teachers made out like it was the most important thing in the world. I never used it to get a job 😂
