That's one of the best things, if not the best, about Sixth Form in my eyes. :smile: I didn't necessarily find most of my GCSEs too hard (although I struggled about with sciences despite loving science), I generally just found that having twelve subjects meant I didn't know where to focus my efforts, what with so many teachers asking so many different things of me. I lost out on a lot of science revision, Music coursework and App. Business coursework time because I was trying to finish my Systems and Product Design coursework. In the end I think I probably could have spent a bit less time on Systems and Product Design - my teachers gave me 100% in both pieces of coursework however I know some people who were also graded 100% who wrote far less in their evaluations etc.

Ah well. C'est la vie.

I think being able to start afresh (if you got to a new place) will be the best for me!
I agree, I have no idea how I'm going to manage revision for so many subjects!
Wow, well done on 100% though! :biggrin:

I'm staying at my current school, I couldn't even imagine leaving it before Sixth Form! I already know most of the teachers so that gives me a bit of a head start - I don't know my Economics teacher too well but I got to know him a bit in the induction lesson and he seems really good. :smile: But I'm starting afresh with new stationery :biggrin:

GCSEs were awful, trying to juggle so many! I'm glad that I can just focus on four now, it makes it less intense. It'll probably still be stressful at times, but I'll work harder this year than I did in GCSE to make it a bit easier for myself. :smile:

Thanks :biggrin: Hopefully my marks in coursework won't have changed - my Product Design teacher sometimes examines work himself so he knows what he's doing, but I guess there's always a small chance of it happening.

I could! And I can't wait! Only one more year to go! :biggrin:
So which subjects (other than economics) are you doing?
New stationary is amazing! :ahee:

It'll definitely be stressful! You can be sure of that! :tongue:

Yeah, I should hope that the teachers know what they're doing! :tongue: I'm sure you'll be fine!

I like biology! Sometimes geography, I'd like Spanish if I did it and RE can be interesting, emphasis on the can! :tongue:

Hope all goes to plan! That must be A2 History as I'm sure you were doing it last year too!

Nice! You're going to have so many A level at the end of this! :eek:

I said youngest, I'm not necessarily the more immature :tongue:
Although technically I'm meant to be a Year 10 next year :wink:

Well obviously I want to leave when it comes to uni, but I wouldn't want to go to another Sixth Form. My local Grammar (LRGS if you're really interested) flickered through my mind as they get extremely good results generally speaking, but I figured I'd probably prefer the atmosphere at my current school. :smile:

Maths, History and Product Design. I'll probably try and take Critical Thinking too, even though it's not accepted by many unis, and probably the EPQ. Not sure on a subject yet but I'll figure it out! :biggrin:

It is :biggrin: I bought a folder and some rubbers off Amazon because I was also buying some books from there - my brother mocked me for it but I didn't really care. :wink:

Fun times :P

Thanks :smile:
Guys we're the first year with no January exams, aren't we? :cry2:
