So by the middle of 2017 I will have had to sit 9 Exams and 3 Controlled ISA's to get 3 Science GCSE xD
Revisions are definitely the right word because I heard Tomo talking about them. So no wonder the British kids are busy as fuck. In the US we don't sit for major exams often. I haven't had to in about 2 or 3 years. Even then the exams require no preparation whatsoever (for me at least). How much impact on life do the GCSE's have?

Revision is just looking over work you've done in class.

Honestly GCSEs are just basic entry-level qualifications. They allow you to move onto AS/A Level in Year 12/13 and pursue further opportunities at university.

Exactly what Franku said after you get to do as I call them A-Levels they are useless so you only really need them to enter like Year 12/13 then they are basically will never affect the rest of your life xD

Well, good luck I just finished mine.

Trust me I know. I'm starting mine next week so I am a bit nervous but i'm feeling ok about it all because I have been studying since Christmas but recently I have been going really hard on it. On the bright side, I sat my English Language early and got a B grade 75% so I already have one which is alright.
