1-2 days a year? :o Fuck I missed that a week..

Only thing I will miss is the people and friendly teachers, which kinda made me wish I spent a little more time with them before it was done but hey, making money and having fun seem to be a priority to myself lol.

High school is a joke. 50 % class marks and I've never gotten lower than 78% on a provincial exam, and the only reason I receive 50% is cause I'm not their half the year ...

I had 86 absences in my English 12 class, drank for 2 months straight after my Dominican trip. Missed an Entire section of shakesspear and the entire poetry unit. 57% class mark and 84% on my provincial ... and I learn NOTHING in the class other than when my teacher had class discussions where everyone can lend their opinions.

... SO happy I do not have to return there, new chapter where I can actually be challenged with real life instead of being hammered with some bullshit routine that teaches you minimal things and is just teaching you to be some blue collar schmuck who won't mind doing repetitive tasks like screwing the four bolts on the right tire at a car factory for the next 45 years..

Well, you can apply for any college you want, but you need certain grades/marks to meet that colleges minimum requirements.
For example, the college I want to go to, which shall remain nameless I applied to early this year, went to an interview and they gave me a conditional acceptance, that if I get atleast 4 B's then they'll give me a place.

So thats what I meant by GCSEs deciding the college, since you need certain requirements to get into them.

In England Bdex do you guys go to the 10th grade or 12th grade before college?

I was actually going to ask this. Maybe in a different way...

Is there some kind of graduation for completing year 11 then? A ceremony or something? If so, do you get another for completing 12&13 or do you have to complete all the way through 13 before any kind of graduation?
