"GCSE's - you're not smart, the exams are easy!"

It's not me who says so. Check out:

And good luck to you all anyway.

Who cares if they're getting easier - it's the grades you get that matter, not the content of the exam!

I probably achieved the best set of results (on points - 12 for A*, 10 A, 8 B etc), at my school, I don't know why. I'm not clever...

Only if there're exotic topless women involved!!

You sound like me now.
Shall we dance?

Hmmm.

I honestly thought the most of the exams were fairly hard, although I found that I need a bit more time on a few of them as I didn't finish all of the papers. I was still able to pass all of my GCSE's. I got 1 C, 2 B's and 7 A's, which was very pleasing.

Well done Dan2K1 on your results! Very Impressive

They say the exams are getting easier because we're actually doing better, maybe they should stop ridiculing students who have tried there upmost to achieve the top levels and start praising teachers for improving and giving us a break.

"Oh, there's a higher pass rate this year, surely means the exams are too easy"

Yeah ok then. Absolute crap. If the grades are there to be achieved then people will achieve them. So what if more people than ever have recieved one or more A* grades, that means the exams are easy does it?

The attitude infuriates me, I did well in my exams, I got 5 A*'s & 5 A's. Maybe the examiners are the stupid ones, marking incorrectly - but the exams are not easy. I found everything a challenge, probably because I didn't revise as much as I should have done, the only subjects I revised for I got an A* in, other than PE, where I only got an A (really wanted an A* in that one).

I haven't bothered shouting about my results despite them being better than most people's.

GCSE results do not make your future, you do. Forget them if they're bad, do them again - this time revise for them, and actually learn the work.

Anyway, that's my brief and rare appearance done.

Final note: meringue pie in the face of anyone who says exams are easier because results are better.

Thanq,

I got B in lit and c in lang, although i was better in languege. Wierd that.

heh, i got a C for enlgish lit the first time around. its enlgish language thats giving for the trouble!

English Lit or Language Ortega?

I am living prooth that the exams have remained at the same level of difficulty.

I have taken GCSE english the past three years running, and i have got a D each of those times!


so either the exams are the same, or they are gettin easier and i am gettin dumber:-)
