General Certificate of Secondary Education

At the end of the two-year GCSE course, towards the end of August of that year, candidates receive a grade for each subject that they have sat. Before the transformation of the GCSE grading system from alphabetical to numeric grades, the pass grades, from highest to lowest, were: A* (pronounced ``A-star''), A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Grade U (ungraded/unclassified) signifies that a pupil achieved nothing worthy of credit; therefore, no GCSE is awarded to the pupil in that subject. For GCSEs after reformations, the pass grades are 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, but a ``good pass'' which is generally required, is grade 4 or higher. The U grade stays the same as mentioned above.
