As we reach the third results day since the new, tougher GCSE exams were introduced, we would like to hear your experiences.

The reformed GCSEs were reported as causing stress and serious anxiety for schoolchildren, while the tougher exams are widening the gap between the results achieved by disadvantaged and better-off pupils in England.

We want to hear from pupils and educators about how you been affected by the new GCSEs. Have you achieved better results than you expected, or lower? Do you think the new system has penalised you in any way? Or have you been unaffected?
