Right now I have to work through exams in literally every subject I take: English (2 papers), Maths (2 papers), Physics (3 papers), Biology (3 papers), Chemistry (3 papers), Film Studies (2 papers), History (2 papers), Drama (1 paper) and French (1 paper).

And these aren't just SATS or whatever, these are GCSEs. These are some of the qualifications I and everybody else my age in the UK school system will be referring to for the rest of our lives. They may decide what university we go to (if we can fucking afford it under the newly-elected right-wing tosspot Conservative government), what kind of jobs we get, maybe even what kind of fucking social class we end up being classified as. If we screw up, we can always re-take them, but that just eats away more time, and leads to more stress and pain and anxiety.

Welcome to British education. It sucks.
