Core subjects — English Language, English Literature, Maths and Science
Tiers — Maths and the sciences have Foundation and Higher tiers
When — most exams are sat in May and June of Year 11

Many sixth forms and colleges ask for grade 4 or above in English and Maths.

GCSE

Why the GCSE matters

Your GCSE results decide which sixth-form and college courses you can go on to.
Many courses and employers ask for English and maths at grade 4 or above — without them, you usually keep studying them after 16.
Universities can look at GCSEs too when you apply later on.
