My God I seem to be having some kind of existential crisis. I'm predicting good GCSE grades (whether or not I achieve them is another thing) and I've already chosen my A-Levels: English Literature, History, Classics and Drama, with a non-examined extension subject of Film Studies.
I really enjoyed English Literature this year, but my old teacher came back from maternity leave and it has been an absolute nightmare! She grades my work so harshly, I've gone from an A*/A to B/C's in classwork, and I've been really struggling and hating English. Unfortunately, i found out I will have this teacher next year and everyone has let me know how time consuming and demanding English. I've been pretty much convinced to change my English Litearture A-Level to Biology...but I'm really scared if I take Biology that I won't do very well in it, everyone says that you need a very good memory to remember all the syllabus and I have a notorious "sieve like" memory.
So my question is to all the people who have taken English Literature and Biology as A-Levels and the EPQ (or Film Stuides - not as a qualification just as an extension hobby thing...), is the EPQ worth it? How much work load is it? When did you start doing it? Is English Literature as time consuming as some people make out and how hard is it really to learn all of the Bio syllabuses?
Thank-you in advance, I'm going to book an appointment with the deputy head to change my choices...I just don't know what too!
