We don't have an exact equivalent. In Texas we have the TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) test, which students must pass in order to graduate high school. It tests English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. If a student fails, he/she is given several chances to retake it, but if he/she can't pass all four sections, no diploma.
To get into college, students have to take the SAT or ACT. The SAT has 3 sections: Critical reading, Writing, and Mathematics. The ACT has 4 sections: Reading, Writing, Mathematics, and Science. These tests may be retaken, but a student has to pay for them each time. They are usually taken during the last two years of high school. Each college or university has its own requirements for what score is needed to be accepted, so if a student does not do well, he/she may not get to go his/her first (or second) choice of university, and may have to start out by taking remedial classes at a community college.

There is no direct equivalent, although an American high school diploma (which sits about midway beteen GCSE and 'A' level) would be about your best bet. If you need more info, there is an information section at the US Embassy in London. Alternatively, you might want to call the nearest American school (192.com will give you the number(s).

In the USA high school which is roughly equivalent to secondary school is years 9-12. At the end of this students are given a diploma to say they have completed high school although this is subject to getting good grades.
There aren't really any national and official systems for assessing students in individual subject areas and the closest thing there is, is the SAT and ACT which are aptitude tests for admission to University.

We don't really have one. Colleges look at our scores on the SATs or ACTs, but we don't take those until our last or second-to-last year of high school. I might be wrong, but it is my understanding that you take the GCSEs earlier than that, and then you have something else (the A-levels?) that qualifies you for college.

well in the U.S. it really depends on which state you are in. the american equivalent to GCSE's here in california is the CAHSEE test which stands for California(CA) High School (HS) Exit Exam (EE). this test is given to sophomores which would be 15 or 16 years of age. we have to pass this high school in order to exit high school and go on to a universtiy. its an exam with just math (Algebra, Algebra II, and Geometry) and also English. if you dont pass the first time taking it, you have two more years ( junior, senior) to pass. hope thats enough to answer your question!!

basically a high school diploma. we do not have to prove adequate knowlege in every subject matter - just that on average we didn't fail. your system is far more effecient in determining how much a person actually knows. (i am shocked that some people didn't know what they were)
