Hundreds of thousands of pupils in England are stuck in a cycle of resits, as they try to achieve a grade C in maths and English.

In 2013, the government introduced a policy that said students in England who fail to get a grade C or above in GCSE maths or English should carry on studying the subject, or subjects, until the age of 18, with the aim of achieving this mark.

The Department for Education says that pupils who achieve a grade C "significantly increase their chances of securing a good job, an apprenticeship or progressing to further learning" and that it is "working closely" with schools and colleges.

So how overwhelming can your GCSEs be? Victoria spoke to a group of students who are currently preparing for their exams, as well as students who completed their GCSEs last summer.
