Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Last week it was A Level results, which showed the number of pupils scoring top grades dropping for second year running.

Today, it's the turn of GCSE students to share the bad news.

There's been a major slump in the GCSE pass rate with the percentage of pupils getting five top grade A* to C passes suffering its biggest fall in the history of the exam.

So how well can you remember the lessons from your teenage years?

Take our GCSE quiz below to find out...and tweet your score to @indyvoices.

All questions and answers taken from BBC Bitesize mock exam papers.
