Current Year 11 thread mark III (woo!) / Year 12 2012/13

Lol I know. Btw I know you are doing AS this year. But are you also doing the GCSE as well?

why's that?

They didn't have the one I wanted in the shop so I had to chose another

i know what you're talking about, is it where you get certain questions which are QWC? i'm doing a different thing with edexcel but i'm basically studying all the topics you are!

our school leaves all the gcse exams till year 11 may/june! are you nervous?

Err...are you asking me? And is this maths? If so, yes, I am doing GCSE maths as well as AS

Yes I'm talking to you lol. And are you doing Edexcel Linear Spec A then?

Naa I am pretty sure the QWC bit is a rumour. I mean QWC in maths. That can just never happen. Plus we did the mock papers, specifically set by the exam board and there were no QWC questons so there isn't. But yes I am doing the new spec.

Mine is linear so are you doing the modular exams - like 4 exams or something?

Ah that sucks, i find there's so much less pressure when it's spread out over the year. Yes, very! are you?

i'm sure that's true because you're not swamped with so many exams in one go! yeah, i'm pretty nervous.

Yeah, and we get the chance to resit as well. don't worry, i'm sure you'll be fine

exactly. i'm sure you will too what are you taking next year?

I'm taking biology, chemistry, physics and music you?

Lol sorry, I was a bit unsure Yup, I'm doing Edexcel Linear Spec A

that sounds nice maths, further maths, chemistry and physics!

that sounds nice maths, further maths, chemistry and physics!

Awesome.. you're clearly good at maths then i was going to take it, but changed to music at the last minute! Do you have any idea what you want to do after A-levels?

as part of my thing with edexcel we have some questions which are QWC assessed and someone doing what she said you are said they have some QWC too.

no, i'm doing linear! basically there's a new pilot scheme where edexcel gives a gcse in methods and a gcse in application. i learn the same content as you but just a couple of extra topics really!

i'm definitely not doing modular considering my school leaves all their exams till year 11 may/june season!

Yeah Same! I was doing a past paper and was able to use logs for one of the questions. The examiner report even mentioned that surprisingly a few used logs for that question which was cool to see. Hope I can do that in the real thing lool!
