Important for college and stuff but you won't ever get asked about it in most jobs.

I'm reading now though and I've seen like three people claim using the wrong GCSE results is fraud and would be taken seriously (and others say the application would just be ignored which is well, understandable and expected) But I'd imagine colleges would review the uni application anyway? Regardless there's NO way you'd get away with it |

i remember my maths teacher telling my class that if we didn’t get our intermediate 2 maths qualification that we’d be living in caravan sites by the age of 20.
Not quite as dramatic as that, however and I think this is the correct terms, GCSEs (Int 2/Nat 5) lead you to A-Levels (Higher) which will lead you to college or university applications. My brother is doing his Nat 5’s just now and like me, he isn’t doing N5 maths this year because we failed our prelims but will do it next year alongside some Highers. |

English and maths are to continue into college but I'll be honest with you I don't even put them on my cv anymore, when I was applying for post grad jobs I was told not to bother with GCSE's and I still got a few responses.

It's ironic, I'd say my worst grades were the ones I revised the most for (Maths and Geography) yet the rest I honestly didn't revise as much as I should've and got really high in them That said, I got VERY lucky with my Lit questions |

oh and you can answer the questions in any order you like. you are not penalised for doing them in a different order

For maths I definitely spent too long on the longer questions which resulted in me missing out half the second paper For science I learnt, I always left the big question of the paper until the end because I just KNEW I'd spend so much time on it One technique my teachers recommended me that I never considered (but you may find useful) is quickly skimming the paper at the start and reading the questions so you have a general idea and can sorta think of what you'd write in advance? I always thought that'd waste time but I'd try it while you're doing past papers and see how that works |
