Oh, highschool is definitely going to be worse.

Middle school is a bludge, you can do nothing all day and still do good. Highschool, you actually have to try, and the stuff they teach is harder too.

be glad you don't do welsh..... i had a literature exam today and it was hard.... much worse than english literature

Are GCSE's like standardized tests? Because for all of the core classes, wee have state tests. Luckily, I'm done with all my core classes, but I had to take those tests last year. They were brutal.

man... i hate to think what college is like where you guys come from :D
i mean .. i didnt really try during my highskool and i got out fine :D

It'll depend on what you're doing in uni.

Some stuff won't be that hard. Like the arts subjects, (I'm assuming. I always sucked at these literature/language/writing things, so i won't know exactly) will just be research and writing essays. Shouldn't be too much different from highschool literature, just on a larger scale of research and writing bigger essays.

And if your doing something non-academic like art, or drama, or something, it'll be even easier.

If your doing something like what I'm doing... then hell yeah it'll be hard. but then again, actuaries gets paid like average $200,000 a year or something, so it's worth it.

(But then hardcore science and pure maths wouldn't be any easier, and they don't pay close to as much = pwnt... but if you enjoy that stuff, then it's still all good)
