Many people go back and do GCSEs and find they find them much easier at college as they're given more individual attention and taught at their own level.
I know many people do it and I know there are people on this forum that have done it so its not impossible.
I was with a couple last night who where in a similar situation in the 70's and went to uni together and got degrees and now have their own trade union. They were talking about this very same topic.
Most of the time this believe in a lack of competency begins at school with teachers who simply don't have the time to focus on individual student needs.
I have experience with these GCSE classes at college and I've seen the variety of levels that attend them and succeed so I'm not completely blind in this area.
And it doesn't have to be academic courses either, many people retrain in new vocational professions.
I see it happen so I don't have any reason to believe it isn't doable. Willpower is the main thing to success, not 'competence'.
