gollark: I got bored and started looking at university league tables and course lists and stuff recently.
gollark: I see. You already know it somewhat, clearly.
gollark: Anyway, I *did* GCSEs this year, I *am doing* A levels next school year and for two years after that, and I *am probably* going to university of some sort after that (I've been overresearching that out of böredom).
gollark: Schools are, you understand, not actually very efficient at teaching some people. Or possibly most.
gollark: GCSEs are the first actual qualification things and you study for 2 years for them. I did... I think 11 or so? I probably should know, but stuff like maths and further maths and English literature/language were taught together at school.
