Current Year 11 Thread Mark I (2014-2015)

Yo, I'm Eve, I only just joined this forum

What's all your best/worst/favourite subjects? I love english and I've been getting A*'s in all of my English Lang coursework, but then got a B in my English Lit. thing about Shakespeare and Poetry (I think that's lit, right?) since I absolutely despise poetry omg I can't get my head round it at all, and I don't like shakespeare much either.

Hey, welcome to the forum (& the best thread ever... maybe ).

I'm good at History, Maths and English Language, bad at English Literature. I, too, hate the poetry part of English Lit. I really like the play we're doing, but I hate analysing it! I like History, Chemistry and Maths!

I'm so excited about starting year 11. It feels as though it has been ever since I've had a lesson.

I'm always up for a challenge

Most probably. I turn 16 in November so you must have already got yours. Sorry about the clash

I wish I enjoyed maths, I'm expected an A and I get so bored and distracted in lessons, so I doubt I'll get that. :/
And yeah, I agree with you, I enjoy the plays and texts, but that's what pushed me towards Lang., I love reading but I hate that they make you over-analyse and look for ridiculous meanings behind stuff, I'd rather just enjoy the story haha.



I know right? It's not as bad as usual though for me since I've had some coursework and stuff to do over the summer whereas in the past I've had no work to do, so it shouldn't be so much a shock of the system this year!

But yeah, I'm actually looking forward to going back and getting last 9 months over and done with and onto college! I am not, however, looking forward to getting my statistics coursework done, about a week left of the holidays and still none of my friends or I have tackled it? I have no idea what I'm doing tbh, is anybody else here doing a statistics GCSE?

Do you guys have study leave this year?

Do you guys have study leave this year?

I do, just don't know when

tbh I'd prefer to go to school since I won't procrastinate at home...

We don't have study leave this year even though all the years before us had it so it's really unfair. They think our year group is too naughty and won't do any revision if they had study leave. I can't revise at school because I'm not comfortable and you have to keep changing class rooms and my friends distract me. So it's just going to be a waste of time :/

Exact same with our year group but the year 11s that just went didn't have it either. It sucks big time.

I just got my result back for mine as I sat it early (A*). The coursework is as stressful as you make it - I wasn't bothered about it at all but that was because I got it done quickly and made sure I asked my teacher loads of questions when we did mock coursework. (Which I imagine seeing as it's already been set you didn't have). If you've got any questions about it you can PM me (But obviously give me an outline of the task). I was on AQA but if you're on Edexcel I get the impression the two courses are fairly similar, so I can still be of some use!

I'm not even 15 yet *sigh* I won't be getting mine for another year lol



Whereabouts in Cheshire are you thinking? I'm in Cheshire

When do you guys start school? I start on the 3rd.

omg hahah Going to Northwich actually to be precise! not quite sure.. I think Altrincham is my first choice.. Others would be the grange school, etc.. but I don't really know which places are good!
