I dont mean to rain on anyones parade, but GCSEs are quite meaningless without other qualifications.......................same goes for A Levels.

Your best bet is to get some vocational qualifications, like BTECs or HND, or even a vocational degree.

Its a competitive workplace.

[Ruth*Star]

I got my Science module tests back today and i got a D and E. I think they were physics tests.

[Sophii3x]

[Ruth*Star]

But you need the GCSE's to be able to get onto the courses for the 'other qualifications'.

What's a HND?

I got a B in my physics, and a D in biology. Apparently thats rare because biology is meant to be easier.

Sure, but from an employers point of view, its much better for applicants to have a vocational qualification. My advice would be to get one of those vocationals as it will help you greatly- and they are accepted by universities.

Oh, and a HND is a Higher National Diploma- one step below a degree. You can do various subjects like computing or engineering.

Good luck.

[Captain.Remy]

I have one question about this exam:
I know that in UK you don't repeat a class twice, you automaticly go to the next level therefore I was asking a question, is, if you don't pass your GCSE's, is it ended forever or you have to repeat the class in order to pass it the next year ?
Thanks !
