I have heard that the A Level changes for our year isnt too different do you agree?

A Levels are getting reformed which will result in linear exams which we'll sit in Year 13. It will also get harder as well if you look at the specification.

On an Open Day, the maths teacher told me that the Maths is pretty much the same with a few tweaks. This is so Annoying!

Ok, I'm not too sure myself even having looked at the draft specification. What subjects are you doing for A Level/BTEC (whatever applies)?

You could do EPQ as a fourth which gives you extra UCAS points but that's just a suggestion :biggrin:

.

I'm thinking of doing the following:
Govt & Politics
History
French/Economics
EPQ

B1 - 6 marker was on healthy diet
C1 - 6 marker was something about converting cars to hydrogen instead of petrol/diesel afaik
P1 - Can't remember

P1 was about comparing 2 renewable sources of energy.
