Being a GCSE student, I'd normally be expected to disagree; but this years crop of exams at least has been easy as muck, it's a tad silly actually.

i found last year's a lot easier than the year before's. i think it's just a general rule that you do better on the day than the likes of the mocks due to the pressure

How many different schools do the englishes go to? three?

You go to nursery as a baby (Kindergarten if your american)

then its primary school (which i believe is junior school in us)

then u have a middle school which i know nothing of

Then we go to secondary school (high school for u)

then college or extra high school

then university

Middle school is year 5-8.

That would be the 12th year at school, in other words, first year of college.

no middle schoolit's just:

nursery school >> primary school >> secondary school >> 6th year at a secondary school or you can go to an "FE college" (tech) >> uni >> job

Leaving school was a pretty big thing for me, i don't speak to any of my friends from school apart from a few meets in clubs, but i did meet the awesome guys who i have been friends with ever since

I was so happy when i left school, i hated the place but going onto college was excellent

ive just finished year 11 too.

im scared and excited. i dunno if i will get into sixth form, and i really need to. but it does feel good to now have a choice of what i do instead of being bossed about like im in jail.

Err... So you're telling me that I could have told my school to f off when they wanted me back in the 4th year? As far as I was concerned it was compulsorary to complete A levels. Edit: 5 years of secondary school was what I thought was the norm....

PS What's year 11? We didn't use this system...

I'm sure it's super emotional for you now.... late bloomer ?

Going to school isn't compulsory, nor is it compulsory to do any exams at all if you don't want to.

It's a common misconception.

It is compulsory to provide an education, however.

And mp3kla is right, I have just as much right to post about my exams as you do about yours.

Yeah, you do, but there is no need for the 'Do I win?'. It's like its a competition or anything.

You know england has two education systems in place. Only a few counties still operate lower, middle and upper schools. The majority is just primary and secondary. I never went to nursery either, my mum taught me the alphabet and all that shenanigans before i even went to lower. I was miles ahead of the nursery kids in year 1
