September holds Year 11 with seven GCSEs, eight if you count PE. Most of the work for them is already done so I'll be fine.

Might try and do a sneaky little AS on the side if I'm feeling promiscuous.

[Jeni]

ooh you should do the AS gav handy to have and not much more work, i did one whilst i did my GCSEs

[Gav]

What did you do it in, and did you go to the lessons?

That sounded really abrupt, I don't know why??

[Ivan]

Going back to Formación Profesional (I believe it's called vocational education, or VET, in English, or at least it's similar), taking "Laboratory".

I'm hoping I do it right this time, without giving up due to laziness like last year. I did manage to pass two of the subjects, with an 8 in each, so I'll have less exams and less hours of class per week. I won't feel as stressed.

haha

it was AS Science for Public Understanding, the course name
it was just a mix of all the sciences and i learnt about like diseases, their origins in historys, cures, how cures came about etc. its a lot of theory and essay based science lol
yeh i went to the lessons, there was a fit guy in the year above there (whilst i was year 10)

[Jake]

I'll be continuing on to A2 with Maths, Physics, Computing and Electronics.

National or First?

Anna and I did the national for IT practitioners (I believe it was Anna, anyway). Course is a bit shit tbh, really easy if you have a better-than-average knowledge of computer science.

National.

I know it's not as challenging as it could be, but that's kind of what I need - a doss course that I can do well on and hopefully onto Uni...if I do that. >.>

[Karl]

Don't see it as a doss course, though. You will fail.

It's made up of 18 units (9 first year, 9 second year). I guarantee if you're as lazy as me you'll think by the end of the first year "meh, I'll finish this unit next year" but when next year comes it'll start to pile up.

The course is easy, sure, but I had to spend the last 3 weeks of the 2nd year getting everything up to merit and distinction level to be able to get into uni. Nothing to do with ability, but laziness.

[Emma]

What Karl said PLUS when you get to uni the workload will hit you hard and you'll wish you didn't see the previous 2 years as being a doss.

[HolyToast]

I'm usually on top of coursework, so I should be okay. >.>; I'm one of those people who do better on coursework than exams...which is why I did so badly on my ASs. >.>;

So I guess I'll have to see. It's gonna be weird whatever cause I'll be changing colleges as well. >.<

[Alison]

I know I am doing A2 Photorgaphy but my college are being a bunch of dumbwits. They're refusing to let me pick up ANY subject which is "classroom based", and as every other subject paper wasnt entered I cant continue with computing etc.

I was hoping to take up AS Politics, Law and Forensic Science/Archaoelogy buut I have to go in for some stupid meeting in september, maybe i shoudl go in in a wheel chair n then they wont treat me like im a naughty kid which is purposing not attending lol
