Let your BlackBerry help build your future with free GCSE apps for UK teenagers

But we're dropping GCSE's soon, so what's the point?
You couldn't be more wrong. The current GCSE will be phased out in 2017 and replaced with a newer harder GCSE.
As a UK Science teacher I have checked out the AQA apps (the board I teach). I like them and will be telling my pupils about them. For free I think they are a good revision resource and I like the idea of BBM connectivity. Plenty of the pupils have BlackBerry's so I'm thinking the apps should prove popular.
They're actually going to be more like O Levels and be called the English Bachelorette, they won't be like harder GCSE's because they will only take one test.
