These days you even get marks for writing your name on the paper! yer they've made it practically impossible 2 fail, summet 2 do with not putting us down or something like that?!?!

But most colleges wont accept you unless u have at least 5 A-C grades.

It's even becoming like that at Uni undergrad level. I know of one undergrad who went into an exam and wrote only his name (incidentally, which he spelt incorrectly :lol:

), so the devaluation of education is happening right through the system.

Ultimately it just means that everyone will have to do a masters to really prove their educational capacity... or God forbid, a Ph.D. :shock:

I think it is best if you have two diplomas, such as IGCSE AND Ib, so that you prove that your capable. Then you may as well go and do master and doctorate.
