@Someone: Not important does not equal a waste of time. I agree with prioritisation of other subjects due to their greater utility but when compulsory education, number of GCSE's and minimum grade boundries are all factors in getting courses even more important for getting jobs your statement about the GCSE itself being unimportant is incorrect.

GCSEs themselves are less important than A levels but one would not say don't study for them or that their easy because it is incorrect and bad advice. This also is true for a single GCSE as well. Unless you know for certain how difficult a subject is giving that kind is rude, condescending and unhelpful.
