Personally I disagree with sitting such stressful exams at the age of 16. To the extent that they can affect one's future. Also, I think it's wrong we start formal education at 4.5/5 years old.
However, I think it's possible GCSEs will be more important than ever for university applications due to the A Level reforms whereby AS levels will be discontinued to contribute 50% toward an A Level. Oh well.
