Hey guys, year 12 here :smile: Just wanted to say good luck with all you're exams, coursework's, ISA's etc (you know the drill..). My advice is just live for the summer of about 8 weeks of nothingness :smile: and just ignore all the year 12s and 13s who will start writing crap about how GCSEs dont matter on twitter in the summe, because guarantee half of them were sweating it for theirs :smile:

Wouldn't the office pass it on to him/her?


Hopefully, they said they would try and sort it out :smile:
Just came back from a sixth form tour. It was ok. Didn't amaze me. Probably, it's my third back up/fourth choice

Anyone got anything planned for today?


My friend and her boyfriend are hosting a halloween party tonight, and beforehand another friend is coming over to do makeup/get ready - we're gonna go as siamese twin cats :biggrin:

Other than that, I gotta get through my 19 homeworks at some point :s-smilie:

It feels like I've been gone so long, even though it's probably been like 2 days since I've been on xD

Can someone explain to me how the honours system works in the UK? Like if I got a joint honours degree, would it be like taking two degrees at once or? cluelessss.

In other news, my geography teacher is still a ****.

Just having this conversation... You can major and minor in two things or I'm exceptional circumstances major.in two...

Cambridge however will not have a joint honours per se

I'm not clued up with the technicalities...

As far as I'm aware, an honours degree is just a really good 1st, whether you take a joint-subject degree or not :tongue:

That's the only reason why I believe American universities are better. Their join honours system is very good.

No, they're really broad but not in depth.

This is very true. My old geo teacher was an American who'd studied in both the USA and England, and he said that the American system is very broad and allows you more freedom, whilst the UK system is very specific and makes you specialise.

I've never seen a Science + Philosophy degree, but I'm sure they exist :smile: As far as I've seen, it's mostly a combination of a science, maths and a language :tongue:
