I've just finished my GCSEs and to be fair i think O-Levels in all probability were harder. Although when i say harder, not necessarily harder in terms of exam questions and the curriculum, but the fact that students didn't have as much support from teachers as we do now. I was able to perfect a lot of my coursework because my teachers would mark my first "draft" pieces and then suggest improvements. As well as the fact that we now have more resources to aid our revision e.g the internet.
load of bullocks mate, i was part of an after-school survey where we also studied for a O-Level examinations in Maths or English. I choose English as am looking to do it at Oxford, every single member of my form (of 19) got an A, however in the GCSE equivalent i got A*/A (Lit/Lan) which basically screwed my chances going to Oxford...maybe at least
No you posted this ages ago but I doubt it did ruin your chances. Oxford usually mainly just take into account A level results and whether you are personally suitable (the interview, your personal statement.)
GCSE examinations are a joke. I could've passed them when I was 7. Try doing O levels and see how many A's you get then.Check out my great educational videos.
