gollark: Wait, what? That sounds very excessive.
gollark: The system here (for A levels) is that you just do one set of exams at the end of two years and schools can do mock ones if they want. It *sounds* sensible, except you apply to universities before getting any A level grades and also a significant amount of things depend just on how well you happened to do over one/a few days.
gollark: You have very brief time to revise between exams?
gollark: Huh. Wow.
gollark: Oh, so you just... have... exams... constantly?
