According to an interview in the "Kate Bush On Tour" show (recently 
posted by Ron, thanks Ron).  Kate got 10 O-levels and took her "mock 
A's" before leaving school but never got any regular A-levels.

I assume that "mock A's" are some sort of practice exam taken to prepare
for the regular A-levels.  Whether it could be said that she got four
of these "mock A's" I don't know.

Considering that she had thought of becoming a vet or a phyciatrist
it would make sense (from what our international correspondents have
told us) that she would take a large number of Os and then prepare 
for her A-levels with about four "mock As".


Strange thought.  Another time.  Another place.  Kate (or is it 
Cathy) Bush sits quietly completing her O-Level exam.  Does she 
have the faintest idea that fifteen years later devout fans all 
over the world will be talking about how well she did?

Was Rod Serling standing in the room at the time?
