Worried about Year 11

[ifuseekamy]

GCSEs really are easy. Unless you're literally stupid, you can pass them without revising at all. If you want As/A*s then obviously you should revise but don't beat yourself up about them. So much emphasis is unnecessarily put on them imo; when you leave you'll realise that aside from Maths and English no one cares about them, especially when job hunting.

And do you mean 16 exams or 16 GCSE subjects? Unless you're doing over time hours of schooling I don't see how you could be doing 16 :S

True point, gcse's get you in to a sixth form, once you have A levels though no one will care whether you had 3 gsce's or 40 "/

^ What she said

Colleges only really care as long as the GCSEs you've got are decent enough for the courses you're taking :/

Don't make me - rep you

But yea, year 11 did seem to be the easier year for me, and as i said before, once you have A levels, GCSE's count for nothing, once you have a Degree, A levels count for nothing. etc etc.
Most qualifications really just get you to the next rung on the ladder, once your on that rung what came before's kinda unimportant.

1, 2, 3, 4 I declare a rep war And I'd win *strokes 12 rep*

Ideally, a degree, PhD and all those higher up qualitifications make up some of the keys to a work-life. Others include experience and in some occasions, charisma and charm If you woffle your way in an interview and amaze them with your people skills and intellect, they tend to love you. But that is of course in odd occasions

Experience is the most annoying though, I know someone with a degree in Law and she can't get a job in Law because she needs experience, and in some jobs they don't accept you if you're "over-qualified".

But that's got very little to do with Year 11 and GCSEs. Just try you best and work towards what courses and steps you want to take next.

I was the same really, but its not half as bad as you think they are goin to be.
GCSEs are actually quite stress free if you use your time wisely

Good Luck with it

16 gcses in total if I get them all but some of the subjects I've taken is worth 4 gcses such as travel and tourism and I.t
