I am quite worried about the future of my country!


Following questions and answers were collated from last year's British GCSE exams(16 year olds)!


English

Q: Use the word judicious in a sentence to show you understand its meaning.

A: Hands that judicious can be soft as your face. (i think it may have only been on in britain but we had a fairy washing up liquid advert that went "Hands that do dishes are as soft as your face!)

Q: What does the word benign mean?

A: Benign is what you will be after you be eight.

Geography

Q: Explain one of the processes by which water can be made safe to

drink.

A: Flirtation makes water safe to drink because it removes large pollutants like grit, sand, dead sheep and canoeists.

Q: How is dew formed?

A: The sun shines down on the leaves and makes them perspire.

Q: What causes the tides in the oceans?

A: The tides are a fight between the Earth and the Moon. All water tends to flow towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in this fight.


Sociology

Q: What guarantees may a mortgage company insist on?

A: If you are buying a house, they will insist you are well endowed.

Q: In a democratic society, how important are elections?

A: Very important. Sex can only happen when a male gets an election.


Biology

Q: What happens to a boy when he reaches Puberty?

A: He says goodbye to his boyhood and looks forward to his adultery.


Q: Name a major disease associated with cigarettes.

A: Premature death.

Q: What is artificial insemination?

A: When the farmer does it to the bull instead of the cow.

Q: How can you delay milk turning sour?

A: Keep it in the cow.

Q: What is the Fibula?

A: A small lie.

Q: What does varicose mean?

A: Nearby.

Q: Give the meaning of the term Caesarean Section.

A: The caesarean section is a district in Rome.
(side point - did you know it is called a Caesarean because Julius Caesar was the first child to be born via a C section?)

Q: What is a seizure?

A: A Roman emperor.

Q: What is a terminal illness?

A: When you are sick at the airport
