Hug him tightly, kiss him (in any order) and say 'Well done' or words to that effect.

I know you didn't ask for opinions, but would you have got him a present if he had got a string of Cs?
Otherwise, a book about his favourite subject?

dh and i always give presents to the nieces and nephews, its a reward for all their effort and hard work.

this particular nephew is so dedicated and hard working, the last ten months have been rough but he has still done amazingly well.

money seems too banal...maybe a personalised gift
