As I did three units for GCSE Maths over 2½ years which were: Unit 1 = Data and Number, Unit 2 = Number and Algebra, and Unit 3 = Algebra and Shape. Some of the Algebra and Shape questions were literally impossible! It's annoying how the Education Secretary Michael Gove is saying how the GCSE's are "too easy".
My year was the last year at my school to do the Modular exam, as the other years were working towards the linear paper, which is the 100% non-calculator and 100% calculator paper done at the end of year 11.
In bold that is all - its the most pointless thing to learn, iv'e being left school 7 years now and i haven't used it once!
