Secondary School Exams in Britain
People at secondary school in England (that is, pupils between
the ages of 12 and 18) have two main exams to worry about, called
GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) and "A" (ad-
vanced) level exams. Earlier they took the first one at 16. It was called
"O" (ordinary) level. There was another exam which you could take
instead of "O" level: it was called the C.S.E. (Certificate of Secondary
Education), and it was not as difficult as "O" level. Most people took
"O" level in about seven or eight different subjects. Nowadays GCSEs
(General Certificate of Secondary Education) have replaced "O" levels
pretty much entirely.
There are lots of subjects to choose from – everything from car-
pentry to ancient languages. For a lot of jobs, such as nursing, you must
have four or five GCSEs, and usually these must include English and
Maths. You may leave school when you are fifteen. But if you stay at
school after taking GCSEs, you go into the Sixth Form (the so-called
Sixth Form college), and start working for the second main exam: "A"
