English didn't change that much, the only thing different about English is that the exams were closed book now meaning you can't take your book in the exam hall and you also had to memorize ALL the poems, Maths however changed a lot, there is way more content than before and exams questions are now structured differently since now 50% of the paper are A-A* questions, you are not the guinea pigs for Maths English but you are guinea pigs for other subjects I know it sucks and the grade boundaries will be higher as well next year! But what can I say, all I can say is have fun year 11s of 2018!

Year 11s 2017-18 are the first people doing the new exam specs in subjects other than maths and English, although I imagine it was worse for year 11s 2016-17 as there were no boundaries for a grade 4/5 pass yet.
