I did AQA German. I'm not sure if your year still has coursework but mine was 60% controlled conditions and 40% exam. If it is the same, make sure you do really well on your controlled conditions/coursework.

It's not impossible, because thats what the IB is... But it's much harder, also makes it impossible to resit... Luckily we won't be affected :biggrin: so no worries :tongue:


Lol I'm doing the IB and believe me I wish I had done A Levels

Hi! I'm also going into year 10. I'm excited about it yet really nervous at the same time!
I'm doing:
Spanish
Geography
Art & Design
Short Course Latin

As well as (compulsory) English Lit + Lang, Maths (a year early), RS, and Triple Science.

Im worried I won't be able to keep up with my school work and extra curriculars, and my art - apparently its a lot of work! But I just want to start so I can get it over with!


Art is a killer.

We can't use foreign language on here without translation... So urmmm... We can't :tongue:

I don't think you should study Nazi Germany or Russia :tongue: it may make you emotional...

Ahah, yeah, but you have sub topics to learn? Even if the exam isn't split :tongue:


What other units could you have studied in Unit 1? And how were you taught them - because if you did Nazi Germany and others in your class did Totalitarian Ideology in theory and in practice, then how would you be got round to?:wink: Oh and what other units are you going to take?

Kind of. So do you not get a choice at your school of the sub-topics to choose in your units? I know of Unit 4 because an external topic anyway, but I'm sure I've heard before of the first three units comprises of many different topics to choose from. Like it lists at http://store.aqa.org.uk/qual/gce/pdf/AQA-2040-W-SP.PDF
