A British exam sat by around 16 year olds. Maths and English Language are compulsory, and at least 5 are required.

These were graded A* to G (with A* being the highest and G the lowest) but now most are graded 9-1 - with 9 the highest and 1 tge lowest.

To pass a GCSE, you need a minimum of grade 4/C (D and E are technically passes but are worth nothing).

When you are told so often about your gcses and what you need for them that you tend to spew random facts in inappropriate scenarios. Gcse syndrome also means you understand memes that otherwise make no sense.
