The Current Year 11 Thread Mark I (2016-2017)

Ah, that's a shame Can you remind me what part 3 involves, it's been so long ago I can't actually remember, i'm assuming the practical?😂

Is anyone doing that ECDL course, because my teacher told me it was compulsory, but I want to know if it really is, or how important it is

You need a personal statement to apply for sixth form?? For the ones I applied to all you did was write down your details (address etc) and that was it really

For the one I want to go to, yea. What are your chosen subjects?

I'm doing as critical thinking too! have you done the unit 1 exam yet or do you do them both in May?

I done it a few months back and it equates to an extra GCSE so I guess you'll have another one in the bag. But it's extremely easy, we done it all in 2 (full) days and I got an A*, so did a lot of us. It's literally skills to do with microsoft word, power point, excel and them lot combined.

Ah well I'm sure you will still do really well! I got an A* in English lang and lit, and an A in maths. I know the spec has changed, however I am doing a level maths so I could give you some advice!

Tbh i really dont know that ill be okay because i got a 2+ in english and im expected to get a grade 6

Yes, although I'm looking forward to doing A-levels (due to the fact that the content is more interesting, in the case of Maths and CS), I am aware that there's quite a noticeable jump in the difficulty of content and the workload, and that the jump is too much for some. Thus, I'm going to *try* to work hard from the very beginning.

What grade is a 2+ and a 6? I have no idea as I did the old spec last year...

You don't get A*/A/B/C etc. Grades anymore. Its now 1-9. 1 is the lowest. 8 is equivalent to a high A* and 9 is like very high to beyond an A*

Don't worry- I did no work for gcses however I have started my as levels and I am making sure that I am working very hard and not slacking off! And it makes it much more enjoyable! And maths a level is MUCH more interesting than gcse (I didn't even like gcse maths...)

Best of luck for your gcse exams this year and then your a levels!x
