It only took an extra three years but I finally got a C in GCSE Maths [editline]12th January 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=cr2142;51654701][img]http://i.imgur.com/td4202c.png[/img] no you dont[/QUOTE] You post this like it's a bad thing.
hey I only got a C in GCSE maths too. My older brother got a D and always wrote C on his CV. He's 35 and hasn't been caught yet [editline]12th January 2017[/editline] I suspect I'm just about old enough now that I can probably lie about my GCSE results.

Most employers probably won't ask unless it's relevant, and I got through uni before I'd even collected my GCSE certificates (they may have asked the exam boards?). Certificates were needed for my postgraduate shit though.

They are much more interested in your degree, the university you went too and your work experience. I have only ever been asked for a copy of my degree certificate, never been asked for my A-Level certificates which is just as well as I have no idea where they are now.
I only got GCSEs. I don't think I've ever had to show someone my qualifications. My older brother came just before going to uni was the standard thing

Got a D in maths and 2 out of the 3 times I had taken a resit I was 5 marks off a C. That's 2/3rds.

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;51659842]photo and video editing[/QUOTE] probably might be able to get away with 8GB, not sure what the max is on the macbook pro, might be 16GB, if you need to be out and about everywhere, just get the macbook pro
Oh great it's snowing, trains are gonna be fucked in the morning. Oh wait, they're already fucked tomorrow cuz of strike.
well the macbook pro comes with 16gb, my current macbook pro has 16gb but their top end workstation is £2999 and only has 12gb, that's a wild amount of money for less

[QUOTE=Dorkslayz;51660513]Consider getting an older gen Mac Pro, you can upgrade them to 12 Cores/24 HT and 128GB RAM[/QUOTE] this is also a consideration, i could fill it with 5TB drives and be laughing.

Unless the company you're interviewing at has a specific HR procedure asking for qualification certificates, it will more than likely come down to how you come across in the interview.

If you like Michael Mcintyre you have bad chat
[QUOTE=G@merGeek;51661825]What the fuck is a grade 3? Back in my day it was just A* to U grades. Is this a new thing?[/QUOTE] they've decided to change everything again for some reason. It goes from level 1 to level 9. For an idea of how difficult level 9 is, I think the Maths grade boundary is that the top 2% of students will get level 9. there's not really a clear "conversion" from letters to numbers but level 9 is A** and level 5 is C (I think)
