How many GCSE exams does everyone have?

Personally I have 26 - just wondering whether other people have a similar amount

That's a massive amount! I don't know how you deal with the stress! I personally have:
2 History
2 Maths
1 Sport Studies
2 Religious Studies
1 English language
2 English literature
1 Human health and Physiology

So in total that's 11 exams, which is nothing in comparison to the amount you have and I'm stressing already.

Good luck!
Kind regards,
Ben

which is 26, I had no idea that it was an abnormal number! Honestly, I am stressing too, mainly about science and maths. Which ones are you stressing about?

History definitely! It's so stressful, I'm averaging A grades in every subject and then it comes to history.... In the mock I got a C grade.

Are you doing triple science? Is that why you have such a high number of science exams? I did triple science last year and had 8 science exams... Very stressful!

Best of luck and kind regards,
Ben

You only have to do two sciences at my school, so hardly anyone does all three, and my school asked me to drop chemistry halfway through year 10 (private school) so I only do biology

That explains it then, at my school doing all three is compulsory
