I live in Wales, so I don't have them. Instead I have mock exams dotted here and there until the end of the year where I have my final exams. And depending on whether I fail or pass, I get a GSCE. Well, that's with the core subjects.

Now, they changed the way our schooling system works at my school this year. Instead of starting my GCSEs in years 10 and 11, I started in year 9, and chose two options instead of... six, maybe eight. Can't remember. And well... the way you're examined in those two subjects depends on what subjects you took. This year I got examined in Performing Arts about two weeks ago, and I'll be examined in Art straight after the Easter holidays. Which I'm happy about, 'cause the Monday and Tuesday I come back I get to stay in the Art rooms and finish my project, and then on the Wednesday and Ftiday I have Art and Performing Arts all day. So that's 15 hours of Art, five is PA, and five hours of shitty lessons. So as you can tell, I'm looking forward to that exam .
