I applied to take Applied IT GCSE in Year 9, advertised as a practical, modern IT course…
I am now in Year 11…
HA, far from it, I am learning more about business than my friend taking business learns 
The only bit of IT I actually get to do are Access Databases, and God how I hate Access Databases.
I am writing essays every lesson, now, here lies the problem – I’m not doing very well, although I am very proficient with Photoshop, Dreamweaver, I edit videos on Premeire very well, I built programs in VB, I develop for iPhone in my spare time…
Is the some way I can take an alternate test or something to prove THESE skill and gain some GCSE’s, instead of continuing with my current “work”.
Thank you
