Ict gcse - General - Facepunch Forum

Hey me and this friend just did our GCSES but we're from different schools - did the same ICT course etc. Theres like three units and she was told each unit is a seperate GCSE whereas I was told each unit is added up together and then averaged for a final grade. So my question: is it worth one or three GCSES? Its the one offered by OCR with like 20+ units or something...

I did OCR ICT. I'm pretty sure 2 units is 1 GCSE

Well on the certificates it says like three units and DISTINCTION by each one... Confusing...because we've both been told different things and both options seem logical: > Could be averaged and the final grade is from all three. > They could all be individual gcses. Anyone else?

It's three. I did Webpage Design, Databases, and Multimedia Products from the same course. [QUOTE=ASH D;17214538]I did OCR ICT. I'm pretty sure 2 units is 1 GCSE[/QUOTE] That's core ICT, which everyone does.

Hmm m'kay thanks :3 [editline]09:23PM[/editline] Wait. With the core, is it printed as three separate things on the certificates or .. ?

[QUOTE=djratboy;17214608]Well on the certificates it says like three units and DISTINCTION by each one...[/QUOTE] If it said Distinction then I'm fairly sure they did a BTEC rather than a GCSE. GCSE grades are letters not words (distinction being a word).

No it wasnt BTEC lawl...OCR is ghey like that...its deff an A...just how many? :D

ICT is only worth one GCSE I believe. At least that's what I've been told.

I would say one then if it's not a BTEC, I can't see them giving three GCSEs for one subject. Two maybe but very unlikely three.

[QUOTE=Wickedgenius;17215502]I would say one then if it's not a BTEC, I can't see them giving three GCSEs for one subject. Two maybe but very unlikely three.[/QUOTE] It's definitely not three and two still seems unlikely.

Each unit is worth one GCSE.

Are you talking about Applied ICT? Core ICT? iMedia? Applied ICT = 2 GCSE Core ICT - Short Course = 1/2 GCSE Core ICT - Full Course = 1 GCSE iMedia - 3 Topics = 1 GCSE Equivalent iMedia - 5 Topics = 2 GCSE Equivalent Hope that helped :)

Thanks!
