After completing Textiles GCSE last year, and recieveing a B grade, textiles GCSE can vary depending on the exam board, but here is what it is all based around. Throughout the year you complete an a3 folder, on developing and desinging a proudct, which may be your choice, or your teachers. After carrying out developments and designs, you make your product, which i think is around 20% of your grade. The written folder is worth around 40%. Then there is a written exam, which would consist of questions such as creating products being environmentally friendly, questions on washing labels etcetc.
i take it for GCSE and it is something i find very interesting. There is quite a bit of theory involved and there is a final exam, but there is still a large amount of coursework. In my school, there is quite a bit of independence in that we choose what we would like to make for our coursework, providing it fits into one of the pre-stated categories (at least this is what i have been told by my teacher!), but the written work that goes with the product also gives you a bit of insight into the industry and how it functions that i find interesting. I am in my first year of studying the subject and i find it very interesting and enjoyable, but that is also down to my teacher. I would not recommend it if you do not like the teacher or their teaching style. This is based on my personal experience - i hope you find it helpful.
The theme is buildings around the world, and you can design fashion tops or somethinn' else :)
If your textiles coursework is weighted as 60% of your final grade and the exam is weighted as 40%, an A in both would average out to an overall grade of A.
They only effect they have on real GCSE's are that they are the basis on which your GCSE results are predicted.

You can take any GCSE examination without enrolling in a course. But you must register with the appropriate exam board and arrange to take the test at a local exam center. The examining body can provide details.
They will either allow you to resit the exam(s) if they are early on or they will count your predicted grade and mock results.
You should contact your school or your exam board.
