Do you think you're smarter than a 16-year-old? There's only one way to find out - with our quiz.
Will our GCSE quiz leave you scratching your head or will you pass with flying colours?
Exam results for GCSE students are released in England and Wales on August 22 and we truly hope that the class of 2024 got the results they worked so hard for.
Now that a new set of results is out, it's hard not to think about what it was like sitting your own exams.
Sometimes it feels like decades ago and other days, it's like it was yesterday!
Whether you fancy you are a few years wiser with a bit more experience behind you (we won't ask how much) or haven't opened a textbook since, let's put your skills to the test.
So grab your highlighters and flashcards because here's your last chance to study before the big quiz.
If you're ready to relive the nerves, we have collated ten questions that will quiz your knowledge on your favourite school subject to the class you tried to forget.
The quiz follows a similar test we set you which was strictly Maths questions (and it was not one for the faint of heart!).
We curated a tricky set of maths questions - designed for 16-year-olds - that covered everything from your geometry skills to quadratic equations.
This time around, we have gone one step further by pulling together sample GCSE questions on English, Maths, Chemistry and more from previous papers and revision guides that are designed to reflect some of the topics students have been tested on.
The best of luck - your time starts now!

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
