GCSEs have come in for plenty of criticism recently. From top schools switching to the supposedly tougher International GCSE to Michael Gove's aborted plan to scrap them altogether, everyone seems to have it in for the qualification.
Parents, teachers, politicians and, yes, journalists have been quick to write off the much-maligned certificates as too easy, or even altogether redundant in a time when most pupils stay on at school until A-levels anyway.
All this can't be much solace for the 16 year-olds up and down the country about to sit their GCSE summer exams, for whom even top grades are likely to be met with a resounding "so what?"
But are GCSEs really as easy as everyone says?
Tassomai, a new online learning platform, has devised a 12-question multiple-choice science quiz based entirely on knowledge required by the AQA dual award Science syllabus.
Remember, at GCSE level you usually need to attain around 80 per cent to gain a top A* grade.
Readers of the Telegraph can access a free trial of Tassomai - which uses a testing element to improve understanding and retention of knowledge - via the above quiz, and can access discounts by visiting tassomai.com/telegraph.
