A GCSE or General Certificate of Secondary Education was an academic qualification awarded in a specified subject. Flip Jackson never had a solid grasp of history and claimed that she was not even allowed to do it for her GCSEs. (AUDIO: The Curse of Davros) She was also not allowed to take her geography and French GCSEs. (AUDIO: The Curse of Davros, Quicksilver)

In 2007, a suited agent gave the editor of The Examiner a replacement front page story about GCSE results after she revealed her reporter Atif's research on Torchwood. (WC: Tardisode 12)
