A levels

[Abi]

Do you do 3 A Levels, and then General Studies then?

I dont do General Studies, i do 4 A Levels. I'm meant to have a General Studies-type lesson with my tutor every week, but he can't be bothered as much as we can't, so he just cancels it most weeks.

I did 4 AS levels then dropped one, now i do three plus we do general studies. But that is only one lesson a week.

Or right, thats fair enough!

I'm just starting doing my English Coursework at the minute. I've choosen Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte for mine, though i might read Jane Eyre as well, and see which one i can write the most about. What subjects do you do again, Katy?

[Katy]

Psychology Geography and Law, i did music last year but that was the one i dropped. IMy friend handed her english coursework into day. I think she did Emma.

Thought i'd drag up an old thread...

Has anyone had any module exams? I haven't, but loads of my mates had Maths and Biology ones.

We have end of term exams, I got an A (ICT), B (English) B (Geography) and C (Politics) so i was happy with that- especially as Politics is a new subject for me, and the way you answer the questions isn't anything like how i had to answer any other exam.

So much coursework though!! I've got to decide between studying "Great Expections", "Silas Marner" and "Wuthering Heights" for English. Its an independant one, so you read the book, make up a question and answer it in an essay, without any help with sucks...

I had Biology and Business Studies AS on Wednesday. The biology one was so hard, I left about 10 qestions.
I had physics today. It went ok but I ran out of time so I didn't get to check it and I forgot a few formulae. Everything that I didn't want to come up did. Vectors came up on two questions (there was only 6) and I really can't do them.
Got key skills on Tuesday but I'm not bothered about that, it doesn't count for anything.

I do Geography as well, its not as hard as what i thought it was going to do. The coursework is taking ages though!! After 6 weeks, i'm only just finishing the analysis

Politics is going to be my worse exam. We dont have any coursework (Mainly because only half of the course is theory, and the rest is based on Current Affairs, so if you did a coursework, the current affairs would have changed/been resolved by the time you finished it), we just have an exam. 1 3 hour exam, of everything we've done this year... Its going to be hard, especially the EU Module. UK politics is easier.

Loads of my mates did that Biology Paper Jelly_belly. They said that half of it wasn't that hard, but the second half was basically impossible. And as it was only a module, they're ****ing themselves over the finals in June!

Which module did they do? We did something that involved cells, lipids, proteins etc (can't remember the title). I know colleges round my area are all doing different modules. There was one question that was really easy cos it came up in a mock. Some of the questions were impossible on my paper. So many people have dropped biology cos they find it too hard.

[Katy]

my friend di the bilogy one as well. She was learning all about the leaf structure and blood cells. Dont know which module that was. I didnt do biology its science.
Hows politics going Abi. I was going to take that, but i took Law instead. I know the first module were quite simular.

[Abi]

Its good. The theory part of it is fairly easy, because its just stuff like Parliament, the Legisature process etc, which most people vaguely know things about anyway. The hardest part for me is mixing the theory and practise together in the exams, so i'm trying to do that more often, lol!!

I wanted to do Law, but i would have had to have gone to another college to do it... it looks good though...

[Katy]

that was our first module in Law. Parliamentry process. But i have to know a bit about it as they are very simular and intergrate alot with one another. We have to read about all the current affairs. And its also very useful for general studies i have been told so im reading the political parts in the papers. Hoping it will get me a pass grade.
