I think GCSEs are about what you take for A level or if you don't do A levels and go straight into work or a different qualification or something.

You do them in years 12-13.

Cool, if thats what you want to do then I'd go for it You can always ask one of your teachers or someone what kind of GCSEs would be useful for them.

I'm in the first year of GCSEs, I took music, art, french and RE but I don't really know what I want to do. I'd love to be in a band or a producer or something but obviously that's not an easy thing to get into. I might try and be a sound engineer or accountant or something. I'm such a nerd, I love maths

I know I might take it for A level but I'm not sure yet.
