"This is the most important year of your life bullcrap"

[Throne Sofa]

In year 11 now, and all the teachers are saying "It's the most important year of your life". This annoys me, and it's complete and utter crap. Hows this our most important year in our lives? Surely Alevel years and years when your older are more important. :S:eusa_wall

well your GCSEs effect everything you do in your future, like doing A levels, going to college, going to uni, getting a job.

[Fez]

Yes but it's easy to retake them....

so you could have 2 important years of your life

[luke-p]

They are... You need good GCSEs to get into college and do A-levels... 5 A*-C grades at least it normaly is...

[adidas™]

there will be no such thing as "a level years" if you dont take ure gcse's seriously

[Jazza]

They are the most important, if you fail your GCSEs you can't even take A levels. I'm pretty sure you can't even get a job at mcdonalds unless you have maths and english A-E.

Cos for a good job you need good GCSE's? GCSE's decide which college you go to - which decides which uni (thats if you are going). That decides which job.

So basically, if you screw up your GCSEs, you probs have to try harder at A levels. O btw, most unis now look at your GCSE's. And they are starting to reject people who have resat exams.

Yeah I remember those lectures. I understood the first couple, 'cos they are important - but when you got it in every subject two or three times it began to get frustrating
