Is the English language speaking exam important like does it affect ur chances of getting into a uni in any way

I got a distinction in it I think: short answer is no.

If it was that important it would make up part of the final grade, but clearly even the exam boards don't really care about it despite it being a far more important & applicable skill than the other stuff you have to do for English Language.

I wouldn't stress about it, not to mention it is dead easy to get a distinction.

It doesn't impact uni chances whatsoever- it doesn't even contribute towards your final language grade, i think you just need to pass it in order to take the exam that does count to your grade

no, it is completely insignificant in terms of getting into any uni, you just need it to get into the actual gcse exams:smile:
