    13 and a OCR ICT qualification; I did Media Studies in Year 9 and Dual Languages (in the time the rest of the year did a single language) hence why I took quite a lot :lol:

    I'm doing 11 and ECDL and Additional Maths, too Tho ECDL was a complete waste of time.
    I know right, i wished I didn't have to do ECDL now becuase it wasted two lessons for me each week in my opinion, plus my school are axeing it off the sylabus next year so it can't be that important :/
