The GCSE exam in the UK and the GED high school diploma in the US serve different educational purposes and are not directly equivalent. GCSEs are subject-specific qualifications typically taken by students at age 16, while the GED is a high school equivalency test for individuals who did not complete traditional high school. Both demonstrate academic proficiency, but they cater to different educational pathways and contexts.

As long as you have an equivalent of 5 GCSE's between C-A* this does not matter. It is your A level ( or higher equivalent grades) that matter. This depends on what you want to do, but as long as you have 3 good A levels you are likely to be excepted. However, you do require a good GCSE maths and English grade ( usually a C or B as a minimum.) If you wanted to specialise in something then you often need a B or above in that subject for both GCSE and A level.
