GCSEs have undergone another seismic change this year with qualifications with tougher standards being awarded for the first time. Concerns about attainment and student mental health amidst the more rigorous GCSEs have been raised. General secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, Geoff Barton, said: “the new exams are harder, contain more content, and involve sitting more papers.”
With many students waiting for their results, we’d like to hear your experiences. How have you been affected by the new GCSEs? Have you achieved better results than you expected, or lower? Has the new system of grading confused you? Do you think the new system has penalised you in any way? Or have you been unaffected?
