Umm, ours is OCR Nationals thing, pretty crap, graded Pass/Merit/Distinction. Are you doing module crap like AO1,AO2 etc, making your own business?

Are you doing exams for IT? All of ours is coursework, does this mean it's a BTEC? Have I just lost 2 GCSE's? The exam wasn't even that hard!

Yep it's a BTEC :frown:

. It's the same at our school. We didn't even get a choice and we're supposed to be a 'Technology College' (Load of *******s really :rolleyes:

)

I'm assuming you like dogs? :-(

Me? Yeah, love 'em! I love all animals in general :biggrin:

People think I'm weird because I don't mind spiders :tongue:

I wish I had a dog, but it's not really possible. I have two rabbits and two chickens though (and getting two rats in a week! :dance:

)

I'm assuming you don't like them?

As for CA's, I hate them. I seriously waffle on about such random crap when I have to write an essay, I never finish them in time :frown:

In fact (And don't tell anyone :wink:

). Last year in a CA (mock) I did about a page and a half at home, and smuggled it into class, pretending I had done it there :ninja:

There's loads of avatars that are already on TSR, if you don't want to find your own image :smile:

(If that made sense?)

You could just put your GCSE Subjects in your signature. Most people put their subjects and grades.

I like Dogs conversing with other humans, but I never know how to act around them, I mean do you stroke them? Or tell them your life problems? And I always end up feeling really awkward, especially when you can see their genetalia D: Although dogs are quite interesting, they have dreams and can cry! wowowowow

Coursework's been replaced with 'controlled assessments' at our school. I'm so scared! :-(

My first CA is in just over a week's time. Somebody please shoot me.

CA's aren't too bad at all, they're just like sitting an exam, but you shouldn't be nervous about them. You'll do a draft first, in English at least, and it'll be marked, you'll be given targets and told to correct stuff and as long as you do what the teacher says, you'll be good.

We just got the results back for our first CA today, and I want to strangle my teacher. In the practice draft, I got a band 4 (no idea why they're in bands and not grades, but band 4 is about a B/A). I acted on every single comment, she read through it again and said I should get a band 5, so I memorized it and wrote the final draft pretty much word for word in the assessment and she gave me a band 3! :mad:
