        That page says it's the final year of the GCSE. So I wonder what will replace it.

        Something even easier, or an international exam such as the baccalauriate that can't be grade inflated to the point of worthlessness by "The Borg" (the British left-wing Educational establishment)

          It was better when they gave the top 10% A, next 10% B, etc.

          Changing that has undermined the confidence in the results.

            52% of the population are thick.
            Interestingly that's exactly the % who are net receivers from the state.
            I blame the 80s policy of prioritising a flat for single mums. They bred and their children bred and so on.

              Maybe they could split them into 2 tiers? Give the better ones something like a GCE and the others, I dunno, maybe CSE.

                6/7, but vexingly I slipped up on the first question.

                The French one was piss-easy. One could guess the gist of the following, enough to deduce the quesstion answer, solely by the similarity of the words without ever having learned a word of French:


                "Pour réduire le nombre d’accidents dans le centre-ville, le conseil municipal propose d’agrandir la zone piétonne."
