Quote: "Cheer David - The british system is so much more simple with our GCSE, AS, A2, BSc, MSc, PhD... "
I think it's quite simple - once you know what GCSEs and A levels are (exams at 16, exams at 18). Pretty much it. Unless you go to a school where you do sats, that must be awful! Two sets of public exams is enough for me...
