Not clicking a daily star link. You could probably do yourself a favour and follow suit, OP

Maybe she didn't get any GCSEs?

Aren't GCSEs the equivalent of the Junior Cert? Do they not have to do them?

Fast forward a few years and the kid will have 7 kids to 5 different guys, living in a council flat.

How much are influencers earning these days ? :P

The tale of the Influencer with 2 Million Followers who Can't Sell 36 T-Shirts should be a warning to all.

She’s the type who’d forget to breathe if her body didn’t do it for her. Poor kids haven’t a hope in life, a Grade A cretin for a mother and nothing but a pack of lies for their futures.

Carla told Closer magazine: "Tanisha isn't the most academic of girls, so I don't really care about her education, unlike with my boys."

“I’m not the most academic person in the world but then how hard can it be?

“When we’ve finished boring lessons we practise posing and pouting.”

This reads like piss poor trolling....hopefully them kids will be ok,when back to school in september

GCSE's are normally taken when the student is either 16, or will be sixteen by the following 1st July after they've completed their final exams. So they are generally taken a year later than Junior Cert exam students. In England & Wales these students are normally in Year 11 while in NI they're in Year 12 (in both cases informally called "fifth-years" or "fifth-form" due to them being in their fifth academic year in post-primary education). Gifted students in some exceptional cases may take a GCSE subject or subjects a year or more earlier if it's felt they're ready.

GCSE's aren't compulsory to sit, but unless you have severe special needs, most fifth year students will sit them in at least some subjects - usually at least the three "core" subjects of English, Mathematics and a Science subject, usually "Single Award Science". More capable students will take them in nine to twelve or more subject areas, though care needs to be measured counting them - for example English and English Literature are two separate subjects, there is also Mathematics and also Further Mathematics for some more gifted students, while the sciences can be arranged to count as one to three subjects e.g. they might be taken seperatly as Physics, Chemistry & Biology (3 subjects) or they may be taken altogether as a "Single Award Science" (1 subject) or a "Double Award Science" (2 subjects). Students that take the DAS are awarded a "double grade" e.g. CC, BB, AA, A*A* etc.

As mentioned, GCSE's are not compulsory but to do a lot of things beyond them requires having some in certain areas. In England & Wales the exam boards recently moved on to grading by numbers (like in some countries in mainland Europe) but in NI the letter grading system is still in use for exams undertaken by the local exam board, the CCEA. These boards are semi-independent of the relevant Dept. of/for Education, unlike in the RoI where there is one single Junior & Leaving Cert awarding body overseen be the state department. Schools in NI are free to choose which exam board they want for each indivudal subject for both GCSEs and A-Levels, so a student may receive exam certificates from two or more award bodies.

For example, in most schools in NI if you wish to carry on doing A-Levels in Years 13 & 14 (aka lower & upper sixth form), you'll need to have obtained at least 5 GCSE's with a grade C or above with at least a grade B in a relevant GSCE for the A-Level subject. Some schools/colleges may apply stricter criteria if there is a larger demand for places than they can accommodate e.g. a minimum of 5 GCSE's at grade B or above.

Also, if you fail to get at least a grade C in English or Maths even with obtaining the minimum requirements otherwise, it's likely you'll only be admitted to Year 13 (NI) on the condition that you resit the relevant GCSE in the subject you don't have at least a grade C in. This is important as most A-Level students will progress on to university or other Higher Education institutions, and almost all of them require a grade C or above in GCSE English & Mathematics (or an equivalent) for enrolment to any degree or diploma course.

As an example, I have a younger cousin whom completed her A-Levels this time last year & she obtained results in them that would otherwise have been more than good enough for her to go on to her first choice university & course on her UCAS application - however she's weak when it comes to mathematics & when she originally sat her GCSE in the subject in Year 12, she only obtained a grade D. She was allowed to return to do A-Levels on the condition that she had to resit her Maths GCSE but each time she failed to get a higher grade than "D" which meant when she received her final A-Level results it was bittersweet as neither her first choice or her "insurance" would accept her due to her lack of a high enough grade in GCSE Mathematics.

Outside of A-Levels, they may be needed for other Post-GCSE courses, for example a BTEC National Diploma, which is a more vocational qualification that also allows for entry to most universities in the UK, will usually require at least 4 GCSEs at grade C or above which can include certain subjects. Even in some otherwise wholly vocational or apprenticeship pathways where prior academic achievements are pretty well less important that a willingness to learn a trade, certain GCSEs might be required - for example when I was younger the local Further Education college required a minimum of grade E in GCSE maths to be allowed entry on to a plumbing course/apprenticeship.

In NI at least, if you wish to attend a course at a Further or Higher Education college or institute which requires a certain amount of and/or specific subjects at GCSE or an equivalent qualification, the Junior Certificate is not deemed to be an equivalent qualification - instead in leiu of a GCSE, a grade in a equivalent or similar subject area in the Leaving Certificate is required - it'll depend on the institution but it'll have to be at least an Ordinary/Pass level grade (I think these days most expect at least an O4 grade or higher, but I'll need to double check). Essentially, Junior Cert exam results North of the border count for very little, if anything.

So as a very, very rough rule of thumb, an Ordinary/Pass grade in an LC subject is deemed equivalent to a GCSE in the same subject field, while a Higher/Honours grade is taken as half an A-Level.

It also means that unlike the (Established/Traditional) LC where pretty much all students study English & Maths, these are only generally studied at A-Level if they are deemed necessary to progress on to a certain course at a certain university - for example, a student looking to be awarded a place on the Medicine course at Queens University in Belfast (or equivalent elsewhere) will quite likely take on at A-Level at least Biology, Chemistry & Physics, with possibly Mathematics as an additional "half" or full subject or in place of one of the three previously mentioned science disciplines (usually Physics). FTR, most schools & colleges require you to have either the indivudal science discipline at GCSE grade B or higher or a GCSE Double Award Science grade of BB or higher to study at A-Level - a Single Award Science GCSE grade isn't regarded as sufficient, even if it's an A* grade.

Hope the above helps.

Sad really for all involved....

We live in a world where this is entirely acceptable though, boards itself has a thread of the most beautiful women in the world.. Mark II, I might add. Pictures only... where’s the most qualified women in the world, certs only, LinkedIn profile links...

Women are objectified on a daily basis and then when one speaks up and says that her primary goal we say it’s sad.

I’m not jumping on the feminist band wagon, but it’s just a tad hypocritical don’t ya think... seen someone put up a picture of a larger lady on the most beautiful women thread and queue the tide wouldn’t take her out comments, if this is what she wants then let her on, by wanting this, the daughter has in reality confirmed her mother’s opinion on her intelligence anyway.

Different strokes for different folks.. if no body wanted to model/pose whatever, and we didn’t want to see it... we wouldn’t have a most beautiful woman thread with 13,000+ pictures.

I’ll take my feminist ass on outta here now

Is she the one who got knocked up by some soccer player and then had an abortion to get on Big Brother, or am I mixing her up with someone else?

She appears to have successfully influenced you into providing more publicity for her, to be fair.

How nice of her to take time away from CERN to talk to The Star.
