We touched on this in another thread and thought it would make an interesting one of its own. If instead of schools being "everyone do your exams now because your 16 birthday falls between 2 arbitrary dates" you did them as and when ready like music exams, what grades would you have?

English language - 8
English Literature - possibly up to grade 5 if my teacher made me, otherwise no exams cos I hate the process
Maths - 7
RE - 4
French - LRSM
Music (as a whole, not on an instrument) - LRSM/FRSM
Art - 6
Biology - 5 (with grade 8 in human biology)
Chemistry - 5 (with a grade 8 in pharmaceutical chemistry)
Physics - oooh, 3??
Latin - 8 at the time, 1 if I took it today, I can't remember anything at all
Media studies - DipABRSM
PE - Prep test, if anything, only if it can be adjusted for special needs that I have to avoid physical exercise...
Drama - Prep test


How about you?
