If these were from actual GCSE exams, those kids would have been pretty damn smart and accomplished humourists. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Looks to me like these are quite deliberate attempts to be funny. Most of them very much succeeded, though! [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] [ 04-22-2004, 12:07 PM: Message edited by: Melusine ]

Essays (for English, I assume) that are part of the GSCE exams (linking = quicker than explaining)

Its the equivelant of a higher exam, so that would be 5th year here, so what 12th grade or something, I dunno, dont do grades, but you would be 16-17 when you sit it

LOL! Some of those are pretty funny. Actually, GCSEs are the General Certificate of Secondary Education exams which you sit in the UK when you are 15/16 right before you leave school. They are the last compulsory exams in British education.
It's only after you finish GCSEs that you realise what a piece of piss they are. I mean they are getting easier every year and pupils in other countries would laugh at their simplicity. If anyone is asking I got 3 A*s, 5 As, 2 Bs and a C (in music [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) [ 04-22-2004, 02:58 PM: Message edited by: Vaskez ]
