No offence Cam, but you chose possibly the three courses I consider to be the most bullshit.

Exams at the end of the 2 year course across year 10 + year 11. So you take em when you're 15 or 16 (depending on your birth date).

Basically get you through to A-levels

I'm going into Year 11 so I have to do the main subjects but I chose PE, IT (longer course), History and German for my custom subjects.

I've stopped playing sport though so I'm fucked in PE IRL laugh.gif

I got 2 A*'s, 8 A's
I have applied for a remark in History, since I am a few marks off an A* <.<

Going into year 12 now (First year of 6th form) and I am studying:

History
English Literature
Geography
French

Will probably drop French for A2, although I will see how it goes

I still have no idea how this affects the rest of your school or university.

In Canada, well each province is different so, in ontario we have a standard literacy test in grade 10 and thats only pass or fail.

What determines where you go in university is your average mark for your top 6 classes or the prerequisite course plys whatever many courses are need to fill the 6 spaces.

My grammar sucks but I passed the literacy test. Engineering = technical reports = straight to the point = no bull shit writing.

When you're 15/16 you take GCSE's which will determine your future school life. For example, I go to one of the top schools in my area and if I don't get the required grades from my gcse exams I won't be able to go to school here for my last 2 years (know as 6th form: from 16-18), I'd have to find another school with would accept these grades.

Then after gcse's we take important exams again over the next 2 final years of school which will determine which universities we can go to.

The thing is though, you seldom find a university that actually gives a damn about your gcse's save the top ones so I find gcse's stupid.

We do important exams every year from the age of 15-18 (or whenever you leave school)
