School tommorow

[aviator]

I'm in Year 10 and they have really bumped up the work especially since it is a new GCSE system in the UK now.

No coursework at all, you just have an exam at the end of Year 11 which counts for everything so there is much more pressure.

Good luck! Also, fuck the new grading system. I'll stick with A*-E.

but way too many people spend way too much time preparing for tests

For end of year tests maybe, but for GCSEs and A-levels if you want the top grades you'll need to put in quite a lot of time to study for each exam.
