I'm sure you will. If they provide more units to choose, I think the teachers would be able to mark them as they should be experts. :p:

The teachers at my school didn't even know what SSL meant when they were trying to 'teach' us the Internet Systems and Services unit. :rolleyes:

I do a double Media AVCE and i like it because most the work is pratical...the A level people dont go into as much detail as us and don't get to do as much pratical stuff. I find that most of the work gets done in college because we get use lessons to work on units, and the work done out of college is usually filming, or interviewing people. I think that its probably easier than the AS's im doing but probably because i enjoy it more as its pratical and theyre essay based (psychology, history and sociology)

AVCE ICT is quite fun in my opinion. The stuff at AS is quite simple and a bit boring, nevertheless you get good grades though! I got an A at AS. In the second part, you get to choose the units you want to do. However, those units in the second part are mostlsy indepdent study kind of thing.

From September 2005, it will be called GCE Applied ICT instead of AVCE ICT. In addition, the contents are slightly different but most of the stuff are the same though.

See the websites for more details (listed all the exam boards as I didn't know which one you're doing):

Is anyone doing Unit 3 health and social care? I need to know how to do A1 and A2 because most of our class is behind in some of their work, so our teacher says he won't have enouth time to do the A grade stuff. I really want a B grade at least in this unit, can anyone help?

Yes to speak to senior management at your school/college don't stand for AVCE tutors not doing their job properly. I didn't and as direct result of my compaign to raise standards they employed a scouser from a council estate - he was one of the best lecturers I ever had dispite his really strong scouser dielect.

Copy and paste what you wrote just now and make a new thread. People would answer you quickly.

Although the teacher does not have to time to do the A grade stuff, that doesn't mean you don't do it. You could do some research on your own and/or ask your teacher about it.
