This name was coined by Ripples Tutorials to refer to students that fall within Year 7 to year 9. These are Key Stage 3 students ages 11 to 13 who are starting early preparation for their GCSEs. At this stage, the goal isn’t heavy exam practice yet - it’s about laying strong foundations so that by Year 10, GCSE learning feels like a natural step up rather than a sudden leap.
These are Year 10 to 11 students (ages 14-16) in Key Stage 4 who are actively preparing for and sitting their GCSE exams.
GCSE Exams (short for General Certificate Of Secondary Education) are the main academic qualifications taken by most students in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland at the end of secondary school. * Usually taken by students in Year 11 (15 - 16-year-olds)
