No, Pip, I took 8 'O's and 2 CSE's.
But I still reckon taking more GCSE's is not such a strain because of continuous assessment. And that coursework does not have to memorised for the exam.
I mean, based on knowledge gleaned from my Human Biology from school, here are five questions for someone who has recently taken their GCSE's, one of which was (Human) Biology:
Do NOT cheat, look in a book, or on the net. Do it from memory.
1. Where is your pyloric sphincter? What does it do?
2. Can you name the individual bones that make up the ossicles? Either the latin or common names will suffice. How big are they?
3. What is the name of the movement which takes food through the digestive system?
4. Arteries and veins carry blood round the body. Which carries blood from the heart? Which of these vessels have higher pressure?
5. Where would you find the Islets of Langerhans? What do they do?
