Any one a Teacher? -ALAN Test Level 2-

[Mango_Wes]

Right guys, Im wanting to join the army as a officer but i need a good set of UCAS / ALIS Points.

Basically this is the armys talley sheet for the grades.

In addition all candidates will require a minimum of 35 ALIS points at GCSE or 34 ALIS points at Scottish Standard Grades (or equivalent) where:

GCSE Grades: A* = 8 points, A = 7, B = 6, C = 5, d = 4 e = 3 F = 2

SCE Standard Grades: 1 = 7 points, 2 = 6, 3 = 5 etc

Candidates will still require at least GCSE grade C (or equivalent) in English language, mathematics and either a science or foreign language

My GCSE Grades are as follows,


English- D - Resitting in college when i go to study my A levels.
Maths - C
Science - C
R.E - B
Graphics - C
Geography - F
ICT My ICT is a PASS, But thats the same as a C? Isnt it? - C

I have also got some other thing called a ALAN test, I passed it, its a LEVEL 2 Adult Literacy and Numeracy Test, Any one know if this means its a C grade GCSE?

If so, i will replace the Geography GCSE with this ALAN test GCSE to Get me the right amount of points i need!

Also,

What A / AS levels to study?

I was thinking ICT as i enjoy computers and so on, but 2nd subject ? I really don't know!

A Pass is E, not a C. And there is no such thing as an F in GCSE grade system. A U is a fail.

I will even take a photo , of my GCSE Certificate

Says my name, date i got the result, F grade

Im sure as Pass = a C, as i used it to get into college, and they said i needed a C, in ICT already, so it cant be a E.

[rey]

GCSE has F's in the grading, A-levels dont..

I dont think the ALAN test will count as it's not a subject..

[Mango_Wes]

Shit in that case, i best get a fucking good English Resit grade :| LOL

[rey]

you need more than the english, because by my count, you fall 4 points short with an A*..

what type of course was IT?

[Mango_Wes]

OCR National, LEVEL 2

[rudeboiross]

yeh the ALAN shizzle wont count.. Its jjust a load of ball like key skills at a-levels! It definetly wont be a C though.

[rey]

so its an NVQ?
you'll have to contact the army office to see if they accept NVQ's..

I doubt it though tbh

[Mark51p]

at college i did Math, Physics, computing and ICT. the computing and ICT i hardly ever went and pass them along with my math but failed on the physics (that shits hard)

[JoNaH_FTW]

Any grade in GCSE is a 'pass' as you've passed the exam but usually colleges want grades of C or higher. From my college experience i would say don't take maths physics or chemistry unless you really need them as they are very hard

[rey]

you re-doing GCSE's at college yes?

and GCSE Maths is easy, A-Level maths, thats hard shit!

[Mango_Wes]

I will only be resitting GCSE English, i need a C, Erm, But I might end up doing another GCSE or something, As I need the right amount of point + 2 A levels

Nope, a U is a fail, unmarkable.

[rey]

your going to need to fhe, as i said, you need to check and see wether they accept NVQ's as a qualification, if they dont then you gotta do another GCSE to boost your points

Ungraded

A pass at ICT is definitely a C mate.
Pass = C
Merit = B
Distinction = A

And wow I have 66 points woop
