You have ICT for GSCE? We don't.. The only thing i've done is ECDL which isn't exactly performed in exam conditions.

Its AQA, its very easy if you get your head around it, you just needs to know a few acronyms such as what does HTML stand for etc, and a few softwares and hardwares and what its used for, then theres spreadsheets and databases which are the only boring parts, I reckon the A is in the bag but could get A* :P

It's not graded like that in ICT, it's either Pass, pass with merit or pass with distinction

I'm in year 11, currently taking my GCSE's and I think I'd know..

Plus, a GCSE is 1 GCSE unless you do double, and it can also count as 4 if you do GNVQ or BTEC.

GCSE isnt a failure course. In GCSE you dont get pass merit or distinction.. You get GCSE levels grade A* to U

That's why my certificate awards me with 4 GCSE's with distinction? And it specificially says GCSE

You must be doing a course for people that struggle in it

Then as I said your probably doing a double award type GCSE or GNVQ/BTEC which is worth 4 GCSE's.. Notice the bit where I underlined lol, its those courses which give you 4 GCSEs, so its still GCSE's as you said but isnt the normal one its a different type, where you do more assignments n stuff e.g. I do BTEC Art which is 2 GCSE's so i will get pass merit or distingsion for that but its still GCSE's. Its mainly a college course.
