C.S.E. results in 1978?

I got grade 1 in English Lit, and grade 2 in Biology, Maths and art., at C.S.E. level. Later I sat Psychology exam as a 'B Unit' receiving 69% pass rate. (A-level equivalent?)


Can anybody advise me as to how these passes rate compared to todays' exam gradings and their equivalent? Thanks

On the Allied Irish Bank careers page they require GCSE Grades A-C or the following:





GCE 'O' Level Grades A-C


CSE Grade 1 Equivalents





Therefore I would assume that GCSE Grades A-C are the same as GCSE Grades A-C, whilst a CSE Grade 1 is the equivalent of a GCSE Grade C
Reply:I dont think you can compare them CSE exams were purely a Certificate Of Secondary Education, ( which in effect meant you turned up) GSCE's were a higher level exam and similar to an A level if passed at grade 1 level. but non of these can be compared as the later dont exist anymore.





If you are job hunting most people wouldnt know what you meant these days if you said you had CSE %26amp; GSCE passes.





Welcome to the club of having no exam passes that my children understand
Reply:A C.S.E. Grade 1 pass was classed as the lowest grade pass in G.C.S.E. , but it was still a pass! I got 6 grade 1 passes and 4 grade 2 passes and in the job market the grade 1 passes counted just as much as G.C.S.E. unfortunately everyone used to disregard the grade 2. I took my exams way back in 1973! lol:-D
