Yep :yep: although the tragedies are often intertwined with everything shakespeare - at least they have been with my limited exposure to his work. The comedies aren't my kind of thing for sure though :tongue: How about you?

I could have guessed :biggrin: not in any sort of patronising way, but, above all others, the english fans are the best and most die hard subject fans in my opinion :lol: :congrats:

Yeah, there's a lot of extra work outside of lessons especially in lit :tongue: you really have to like the subject to do well :yes:

I can imagine!! Every person I talk to who is to do with english has a real passion for their subject that sadly isn't that consistent across all other subjects :frown: At least thats what I had seen at School :tongue:

It does need a lot more passion than something like maths because it's a much more personal subject, where you give personal responses :smile:

The teachers definitely help!
I have one amazing teacher for English lit and one not as good one, and it does make a difference :yes:
One of my English lang teachers is so enthusiastic, I had him for GCSE as well and he is just amazing :biggrin:

Hey guys has anyone done their additional science ISA yet? If you did what was your score? And does anyone know what the mark will be for an A*?

Heyy I have,I got 40 which was an A, it was a biology isa and I actually found it hard, so hoping I can get an A* next time, anyway I'm not too sure but I think it was 43 or 44 for an A* but it's not 100% confirmed as it hasn't been marked my examiners so there aren't any real grade boundaries

Am I the only one finding it really hard to pick my A levels? I'm so torn between spanish and English lit for my fourth :frown: I'll probably do biology, chemistry and maths as my main 3 though.

You certainly won't be the only one. :smile:

Do you have any idea as to what you want to do after A-Levels?
I'm scared about next year.

I know there's GCSEs to do first and stuff but it sounds like my boyfriend is going to college while I'm staying at sixth form.

Now this wouldn't be a problem in any other persons life, but I row. This takes up a considerable amount of time (Monday, Wednesday, Friday after school until 6, 1-4 Saturdays and Sundays, excluding competitions). This has meant that this year most of the time I have spent with my boyfriend has been at school as it's really hard to organise stuff outside school due to rowing and stuff he does.

I'm worried that next year a combination of rowing, the extra workload and him going to college will mean that I will hardly be able to see him. This makes me feel sad because I really do love him and I love spending time with him. I love rowing and don't want to give it up but I also don't want to give him up... Have any of you got any advice? If you have I would love to hear it. Thank you in advance.

I'm deciding between R.S and Spanish for my fourth A Level and I really don't know which one to choose :frown: For my other three I want to do English Lit, Psychology and Sociology.
