Oh wait, you have one rep on one of your posts. So you're just some stupid troll. Get a life, mate. Seriously.

Who would they prefer? someone with 9A*s or someone with 13A*s?

Update 05/10/15

Today has been alright. I've had a great double English Literature lesson on A Christmas Carol, I'm currently doing Stave Three, looking at the Ghost of Christmas Present. @Lemur14 Where are you currently up to in A Christmas Carol? For double Maths which was decent as we do have some banter then and there, we're still doing Rearranging the Forumlae, a topic that I struggle on especially with the harder questions. For double History, the majority had asked for extra time for the exam so we've spent 20 mins finishing it whilst those who finished read from the book about the next topic - Votes for Women, a topic I had covered briefly last year.

Tomorrow, I have double Computing which I'm currently dreading as I have to complete my practice A452 CA by the end of the lesson and yet I'm really stuck on a question. I also have double French and Chemistry respectively. For Chemistry, I really hope my teacher is back from illness as I want some help with some of the C1 topics. I also have to stay back after school for a bit to get information about the Open Evening at my school, I'll be helping out.

To Do List
C1 Revision - Friday
B2.1 and B2.2 - Thursday
Hand in Computing H/W - Tomorrow

Notes
History Assessment - Done
Chemistry C1 Assessment - Friday
** Biology B2.1 and B2.2 Assessment - Thursday
Maths Assessment - ?
English Assessment - ?
* French Assessment (Writing CA 6 hours preparation) - Tomorrow

* This will be in particular stressful as I have to remember a lot of words for the CA.
** I'll probably flop the test as I don't understand the content well thanks to the Biology teacher I have.

We're up to page 24 which is just after the introduction of the Ghost of Christmas Past. It's soo slow
Good luck with your Computing, Chemistry, Biology and French over the next week. We always had 1 week to learn our French for our exam (5 lesson time hours plus homework) which was really difficult.
Sorry I can't help with the biology definitions but I've never heard of 2 of them and the last one I haven't done since year 8 and I can't remember what it means
I hate having supply teachers as it's like a free ticket to talk for the whole lesson so you can't concentrate to do the work. We had supply for double electronics today and only 1 person had finished the work by the end (I've just done mine so I'm not behind next lesson). My history teacher was off today so I hope she's not off tomorrow as we have double history period 1+2.
Extra biology catch-up for core starts next week so I need to make sure I'm on top of my homework so I have time for that as well.

Wow, your a bit behind in A Christmas Carol if you're doing the Ghost of Christmas Past, could've helped you out if I didn't leave my copy of the text in my book.

Thanks for the good luck for the week. Same applies to everybody.

French - I've got a Writing CA and have 6 hours from tomorrow's lesson

DW worry about my Biology B2 struggles, I managed what I could do with the revision. I'm annoyed that he's likely to teach me in Year 11 as the teachers I have now usually stay with you upto GCSEs at my school.

Supply Teachers - Indeed a "Free Ticket" to talk throughout the entire lesson, I was stupid to not sit elsewhere as I got very distracted. I did the work though as asked.

I'm not sure if we're behind or just extremely slow deliberately! It doesn't help that we have 2 teachers (split 4/2 hours) and the teacher with 2 just has usT writing stories about the context or genre etc. so we don't read the book with her. Also we keep spending lessons on things that just aren't relevant yet (eg mark schemes when we aren't even doing past questions yet). Don't worry about helping yet as I'm sure once we cover it I'll understand it, just we're not getting there just yet
As you're doing your French in 2 years you have longer to get your CAs done rather than us who had to do 1 every 5/6 weeks from scratch as well as learning all the other vocab we needed for the course (mostly in the last 3 weeks after Easter).
Our teachers are likely to teach us in year 11 as well which is most cases is good but obviously for biology is really bad. Hopefully the results in our class will show that our biology needs help because it will be a lot lower than either chemistry or physics and the head of science will take us (wishful thinking).
in our supply class this morning they were expecting the teacher any minute (still hadn't turned up 1.5 hrs after they expected him) so we sat in our normal seats and because we had a great supply teacher he just let us talk across the classroom! As long as we were doing some work. Unfortunately, once we actually wanted to work some people didn't so we didn't get much done in class (just over half I suppose) so I took it home to finish in case sir was expecting it to be finished (he didn't specify). I only have 1 piece of homework anyway (revision for 2 weeks time end of topic rs test so plenty of time yet) so I had enough time to get it done.

I'm doing my GCSEs over 3 years and not the usual 2 years. I'm already ahead for the Sciences especially Biology but I dislike my Biology teacher as he rushes the lesson too quickly, we're on B2 and we have 2 yrs to cover it. For French, I'm glad I'm doing CAs once every while as I don't have to face the pressure and I feel sorry for you who does it every 5/6 weeks. I hate teachers who cover irrelevant stuff in class, it's just annoying.

WE do ours over 3, I just naturally assume everyone else does them over 2 lol.

Over 3 years? Why are you lot rushing the CAs for French then?

As we do 2 courses in 1 year and then clear space in our timetable for an extra 2 subjects.
We do:
Citizenship (1/2), Option A in one year (year 9).
IT, RS(1/2) in 2 years (year9 + year10).
Science, Option B, Option C in 3 years (year9, year10, year11).
English (lat+lit), Maths (core + stats), Option D, Option E in 2 years (year 10, year11).
My option A was French hence the rush.
Option B-electronics
Option C-computing
Option D-business
Option E-history

Update 06/10/15

Today wasn't that great. I had double Computing where I had to complete my practice A452 CA and hand it in to him via some system for marking and it will form my first assessment. For French, I'm starting my controlled assessment for Writing and already I have about 3-4 hours left as I have a double lesson. For Chemistry, it was a total disaster as I had to use the MFL classroom as my Science lab is leaking with water due to the construction works above and the projector isn't working. I got very distracted and almost to the point, I felt like having a fight/argument with another student as he was constantly being an utter prick. As I have my C1 exam on Friday, I have Chemistry for the whole of this week. Due to this, I have Biology for the whole of next week which I'm not entirely happy with but at least I can get help for B2.1 and B2.2 and that he can take his time to explain it as we have 6 single lessons of Science a week (3 double lessons). For Biology, it turns out I will only be doing a short test worth about 10 marks or so.

Tomorrow, I have a early closure at school due to the Open Evening. I'll be going home for a bit to offload my bags etc before making my way back to help out with the Open Evening.

To Do List
C1 Revision - Friday
French Vocabulary - Friday

In other news, as I'm a Liverpool fan, I'm getting very excited about the possibility of Klopp taking over as Liverpool manager from the sacked Brendan Rodgers. #YNWA

Reading this thread makes me so happy I'm done with GCSEs!

Good luck with your studies!

Out of curiosity. What did you get and what are you doing now? Come on, you finished your GCSE's, give us some inspiration
