I am currently studying History, Sociology and Economics. I basically did not bother all year and I am now regretting my mistakes. My sixth form is really strict but because of my GCSE results and homework (essays) I've given before, they haven't kicked me off the courses. History I would say I have about 60% of knowledge, and I seem to be doing good in terms of exam technique. Sociology, I have never completed a piece of homework however I have picked up the slack this week and learnt purely sociology. I am half way through the second unit (research methods) and I have done a past paper yesterday for re-assurance. My teacher marked it today and said it was a B grade which is great considering I have gotten a U and an E in my last mocks. Economics is the worst for me. I have barely been to lessons because of my teacher (kept getting supply teachers) and when I do go, I don't understand a thing. My last mock I got a high E (purely on the knowledge of GCSE business and about 20 minutes revision before the exam). I am really struggling balancing the time for these 3 subjects and in my mocks I got D,E,E. I am only aiming for all D's this year so I can progress for A2 levels and will not let this happen to me again for sure.
On a separate note, for Economics I was told today that I would be removed from the exam (it is almost 3 weeks before the exam) are my school able to do this? I have an updated exam timetable and I am still entered for it. I am attempting to prove myself this coming Tuesday and I am sure my school would allow me to do Economics. I am just fearful that I will be left with 2 A levels and cannot pick up anymore in September. If I am entered for the exam I shall teach myself and aim for a C/D (i'm sure it isn't difficult to move up from an E to a D?)
