What could you spell with your results?

What could you spell with some, or all of your exam results?
I know someone who retook 5 gcses and spelt FUDGE with them . . .
and another who spelt a swear word (read carefully, don't pronounce them BEE and DEE but as if you were saying them in a word) BA*D - not bad,

Problem is that BAAA BAAA just about sums up the current state education system - you get the good results and that's the noise they want you to make.
BA*D, I like. Good spread of grades and I like the sentiment, although BAAAAD could be good, if you get my drift.
I did my GCSEs separately, as a mature student. Along with my old O'level grades they spell BABCAB, which means zilch, really, but it's a good way of remembering them now that I'm all old and decrepit.

Some of us are so old, Molly, that we can't spell anything with our results. When I took my GCE O-levels (which were roughly equivalent to the A to C grades of today's GCSEs), the results were graded numerically from 1 to 9, with grades 1 to 6 being pass grades, and 7, 8 and 9 representing various degrees of failure.
So I can't spell anything with my results. To be honest, I'm not sure that I can accurately recall all of the grades anyway. I just know that I passed 10 of them, including such obscure subjects as 'The History and Philosophy of Science' ;-)

I'm reminded of the pupil (or, rather, ex-pupil as he was by then) whom I met walking out of the school building, clutching his exam results, on 'results day'. He was an 'educationally challenged' student. (In fact he was as 'educationally challenged' as two short planks!). He was also not noted for his school attendance. So I was surprised when he called me over, saying "See, I told you I could do maths. I'm not thick! I've got an 'A'!)
I looked at his exam results slip, which was for the old CSE examination. Sure enough, there against 'Mathematics' was the letter 'A'. I then reminded him of two things which he rather seemed to have overlooked:
Firstly, CSE grades were numbers (from 1 to 6), not letters.
Secondly, he'd failed to turn up for either of his maths exams.
The 'A' on his results sheet stood for 'Absent'!
I've often wondered whether, if I had not happened to bump into him leaving the school on that day, he would have spent the rest of life believing that he'd excelled at maths ;-)
