The role of coursework will diminish.
Exams will be longer and more difficult.
Endlessly retaking modules within courses to build up the grade will be scrapped.

All v good for me, I was superb at exams but shit at consistently doing good coursework as I can turn it on under pressure but cannot maintain it.

See, I'm the opposite, great coursework and mediocre or 'not bad' exams
When I did GCSE's it was a mixture of the two. Why are we switching to something that suits one type of person, why is assessing someone's ability to grasp a subject over a two hour exam better than assessing their ability over two years? Is this new system going to cover all subjects? I spent ages making a wooden CD rack for my Product Design GCSE , dunno if I could do that in two hours.
