The worst possible punishment inflictable upon humans, right up there with death by elephant and being skinned alive. Brits will understand.
Judge: I have found you guilty of 975 murders, so you will be subjected to a month of GCSEs.
Criminal: NO! Anything but that

Get the GCSEs mug.Evidence of how dimwitted the government is - that is the people who we're supposed to trust to run our country. They are essentially gcses but made harder for no good reason
Like when in real life would you have to work out some scientific equation but not have the necessary formulas accessible? (Science)
Who really cares about the deeper meanings of lines in shakespeare?(English Lit)
When in real life would someone ask you why there is a comma at this part of the sentence?(English Lang)
When in real life are you going to a country worth visiting where they don't speak english?(MFL)
This is the kind of rubbish the government thinks they are "preparing" us for.
What's worse is no one actually knows how this new system works and year 11s 2017 are the guinea pigs who will suffer from this madness.
Additionally, 2 years later your gcses count for nothing because once you've done your a levels that is all anyone cares about!
Yes we are expected to toil and sweat and experience major stress over 11 subjects that are mostly irrelevant to real life to receive results that become meaningless!!!

Government: Hey - in case you didn't think gcses were already hard and pointless enough we've created new gcses! We do this because we like two torment teenagers as if they're not struggling already with puberty and all.
And oh yeah just to make things more confusing we're gonna grade you with numbers now, not letters

GSCEs basically stressing out student because if they don't pass their GCSEs they would have fucked up their life and their existence. As to get into a good college I need to good GSCES grades and if u aren't in a good collage u can't get into a good university and then get a job to earn u money so basically DON'T FUCK UP YOUR GCSEs no pressure

Get the GCSE mug.A GCSE (General Certificate of Education) that you can take in school. You will study a play and a book that your teacher will do his/her best to ruin by a.) forcing you to embarrassingly read them out loud in class, and b.) forcing you to over-analyze them whilst ignoring their immediate, aesthetic value.
But this is not always the case. If you are doing the foundation level (like I did) you will be thought of as too much of a retard to be able to read. Instead you will watch some pretentious film adaptation on an old TV not worthy to be shot at by a drugged-up Elvis Presley.
Either way, you will come away with an extremely negative view of classical literature. However, you may be lucky enough to rediscover it in later life and enjoy it properly.

GCSE English Literature Teacher: "So what can we see in Jessica's defiance of her father that is reminiscent of a 20th centry movement that has changed so much?"

Get the GCSE mug.despite taking sats in year 9, uk students are required to waste all of year ten and eleven doing a GCSE course - not having fun or doing anything else with their free time but revising for exams as well as doing even longer and boring exams spread over lesson time and free time in the form of whats known as coursework. after taking GCSE's, you would think that its over, but then you have to take AS/A levels to (for the third time) show your capabilities whilst wasting more time and doing more work. then you go off and do something else which involves more work etc etc
person001: wanna come to a party
person002: nope sorry i got GCSE coursework/revision
person001: have you ever NOT had a constant stream of overdue coursework/revision in the last 2 years?
person001: nope, and for years to come.

Get the gcse mug.A GCSE art student finds themselves crumbling from the unexpected pressures of an art GCSE: their lack of coursework or that ‘rose’ that looks like a damn tumbleweed or a cabbage on meth. Sometimes high, sometimes horrific at drawing, sometimes egotistical and sometimes crying over 1 imperfect line: they come in all shapes and sizes.
Most likely an art student picks the GCSE for it’s ‘easy’ facade yet will end up regretting that choice at some point. A very talented but perfectionist student might tend to procrastinate - waiting until the very last minute when realisation and their fear of failure kicks in only to end up painting until 5am to make up for lacking course work.
Whether having struggled with quality or quantity (at at least one point I will assure you) the eventual fulfilment of thick textured pages or a final piece decorated in imagination and what was once a dream, art GCSE students are thick skinned (despite occasional breakdowns) and deserve every bit right to show off and boost their ego. Unlrimately most will find the course is worth it and anything can turn into something beautiful with effort.
