DD came home yesterday and mentioned that in May she will be sitting Functional Skills exams in english. Apparently they are certificated tests as DD had to check all her details were correct on an external exam entry form. Does anyone know what these actually are? Should DD be revising for them? DD is sitting GCSE Statstics and Geography exams in June and those are obviously going to take prority. The cynic in me must also ask are they "worth" a GCSE? DD's school would award a BTEC in Breathing if they could!
