I think Shelley's article explained his maths performance as a 'one-off' …

Quote:
Suddenly he wanted to be a pop star. So he taught himself keyboards (‘I’m terrible at singing’), started going to nightclubs and gigs, joined local band Dare (‘like Bon Jovi with massive hair’) and ended up with a grade D in his maths A-level.
That could happen to anyone ..

Cheers
PS: .. there's that 'hair' thing again ! ..

Nah, I don't think this is a "one off" maths performance....that D is an average over his whole senior secondary schooling.

Not really....good on him that he's managed to get by without a high A level score. But it does help when it comes to doing the work and in the company he keeps, having such a mediocre A level score wouldn't look good
