Good luck to everyone receiving GCSE exam results today. Regardless of what the Daily Mail would have you think, they’re not getting any easier (the same is true of A-levels). In particular, I know that some papers this year were really horrible and difficult – yet the press still claims that ‘our children are getting off lightly, this is a disgrace, bring back national service etc’.
If the results aren’t what you hoped for, you can call the National Exams Helpline. Their number in the UK is 0808 100 8000. Calls are free from a public phone box or a landline.
