Well ive just done my GCSE's and am in my first year of 6th form and i can officialy say.. GCSE's mean f*** all. The only thing they are good for is getting you into the 6th form you want to do the courses you want then they are forgotten about..5 years for that ffs? My 2p worth - Work hard in the subject you want to take at a level, and do the bare minimum in everything else
