The hardest Gcse
Scroll to see replies
Geography. Biggest amount of revision compared to any other subject.
english language/literature, i'd literally be so happy if i even scraped a B in both subjects, not looking forward to those exams at all.
I would say that History and English Language & Literature are the hardest GCSE Examinations to pass with a good grade. English is down to how you are on the day and your luck with the questions and just your ability that you have no power over. History on the other hand, is down to knowledge, structure, understanding and a heap load of revision.

I would definitely say that is a load of rubbish. GCSE's are designed to catch you out with structure and many other things whereas subjects done at A-Level are said to be harder yet they are more based on general interest and passion. I respect your opinion but disagree.

I disagree with the fact that you disagree with me.
I do not think that they try and catch you out if anything it seems that they are throwing marks right at you. If you are reasonably intelligent and but a little effort in I really don't understand why you can't pass them all.
I believe they should be made a lot harder than they currently are because students are starting A levels and finding the step up a real struggle. It's not the student's fault it's the governments.

Engineering, last year when I did it it had a 0.7% a* rate and a truly crazy amount of coursework

This.
If you mean Edexcel Engineering (the one I do), the workload is crazy, coursework boundaries are insane and the exam is just confusing

I would just like to point out that only now you have made reference to JUST passing your GCSE's. If they are all so easy, you'd be a straight A student. They aren't at all easy, I am studying them now after all of their amendments and I am sorry but you are wrong.

Yeah you might think they are difficult now, I did when I was taking them but come back and tell me how hard they were once you have attempted A levels my friend.
I was not a straight A student but I was lazy as hell and got 5 As and 5 A*s out of 13. I am certainly not very intelligent but if you understand what the exam board wants from you, you can blag it all the way.

Okay, so how did you find out what they wanted?

Get down with the specifications, know what you need to know, know your exam structure and technique. See what they award marks for (AO1, AO2 and all that jazz) and check out exemplar answers that scored highly. Look at past papers and the kind of questions they ask etc. Learn how to sound intelligent and like you know what you are talking about because they believe you and will be more inclined to give you marks.
I really don't understand why people don't find out everything about that exam before even revising because they really should, it's all on the exam boards website.

It was alright to be honest, quite interesting seeing where some of our words come from. I would have rather done foundation tier because they had to learn half as much, we had like 8 pages of vocab to learn, plus the full translations of a piece of Latin literature and three bits of prose...
In the end it was good as long as you out the effort into learning everything, and there was a hell of a lot to learn!

When you say its piss easy to pass, do you mean a C or a relatively high grade likan an A/A*?
