GCSE short courses subject by subject
The table below shows the percentage of candidates getting the various grades in each General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) short course subject. The rows in grey are the 2000 figures, for comparison. Short courses are not available in all subjects. They involve half the syllabus of a full GCSE, but at the same standard, and are equivalent to half a GCSE qualification. GCSEs are graded from A* down to G, with U (unclassified) being a fail.
