GCSE.. Whats it stand for? (Gaelic Celtic.... lol beats me)

it stands for general certificate in secondary education
they-re the exams youy take when your in year eleven(15-16) or sometimes earlier like at my school you do some in year 10

ah I see, kinda absent in Canada, we have the Royal Canadian Conservatory , and thats what we use here for like applications for universities and such. I never took it even though i play the piano. I know friends that took the annual tests for the conservator.. and they are phenomenal.

YAY! im not the only one who took music.
I can kind of play the piano. i'm relying on the piano to pass my practical exams though.
I can sort of play anyinstrument.

Did mine in year 9, the test was pathetic!
The teachers couldn't decide the answers even, but we all got a re-sit and I got A*.
I'm doing my A level music now.
