The results in my school-completely against national averages

The___________ · 2010-08-19 12:47:55

My year got our school's best ever results-around 12 of us got 500+. The strange thing is that of these 12 only one is a girl which rather debunks the theory that girls do better in the leaving(at least in our school) What is your experiences of this?

58,000 students did the leaving. You fail on the meaning of "averages"... :pac:

This is going nowhere, at a better than average pace.
