The set of exams usually taken by students aged 15–16, after two years of study in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and other British territories is called the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE).
All pupils sit exams at the end of their two-year courses to gain admissions in courses and jobs
Core subjects: English, Maths, and Science supplemented by their own choice of optional subjects.
The English Language is compulsory in all schools, and so is English Literature in the majority of schools, but there are exceptions too.
Science may be split into three separate topics (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) or two combined Science GCSEs.
Other GCSE subjects: 45 ranging from Art, History, Geography, and Sciences to more specialized subjects such as Ancient History, Latin and Engineering.
