It's GCSE mock exam time. I always refer it to 'O' level but that is not correct anymore. I took the 'O' level back in 1981, then was called the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education (Ordinary Level). But apparently, except for Singapore, the GCE O-Levels have been phased out in favour of the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) starting in 1988. One of the differences between the two is the grading. GCE 'O' level has grading from A to F for examinations. GCSE has tiers format: higher (grades A–C), intermediate (B–E) and basic (D–G). By introducing the lower grade allows less-perfoming student to pursue aternatives to A level. Another change was the introduction of A* grade in the GCSE to distinguish the very top end of achievement. This is what students are aiming for. So weary eyes for Fizah these days.
