If any boy actually says they find their friends caring and stuff, they'd get picked on (not by me, I couldn't care less).

I thought you were in year 9, Magz?

I am, but since a very large portion of my life consists of listening to music I'm probably gonna take it. I already play an instrument and am good at writing songs so should be good.



Lol, but I am caring .

God I hate PSHE so much! It's a waste of an hour every week. Everything we learn is useless and only applies to the drugged up idiots in our school.

Too true, too true. We could have easily used the precious time to get some coursework done, but no, they insist on forcing us through crap.

At what age do you guys give the GCSE exam?

At 15 or 16 years. I sat 14 GCSE papers in English Language; English Literature; Mathematics (non-calculator); Mathematics (calculator); Statistics; Science (Modulars); Science (Ideas In Context); Religious Education; Geography; Geography (case study); Media Studies; German (Listening); German (Reading), and German (Oral).

You mean you take papers like this at 15? And with a calculator? .

Almost... but that example is much too simple. If you took the Higher tier it would be very difficult.

Can you find a link to a tough paper for me? I want to see what grade I would get if I sat GCSE this year .

 

[Skater]

This is more like it. I expect you to get everything right. I've noticed in India that education is taken far too seriously.

To be honest I dodn't know many of the formulae, but I could do it by the long method anyway .

We got given a piece of English coursework to do, straight after doing the first piece, and we don't even know what to do. Yeah we read a few examples of autobiographies but I'm stumped on what to write. I'll probably write on when I moved house but I don't really know how to write it.
