Media studies, which we were forced to take at our school instead of a useful gcse which would have been ICT... only my ****ing school. Oh, A levels, my bad
Oh course it is, but that isn't the point of this post is it? The post is designed to undermine the hard work and efforts of anyone that has studied the subjects being slated by you "intellectually elite" students. Well sorry for that, we can't all be natural superstars.
The point of the post wasn't to cause offence, it was just to explain my point of view and why the "intellectually elite" take them.
Tbh, I think politics is one of those subjects that if you enjoy it: you will do well. If you don't, you won't. Hence why the grade boundaries are low, because a lot of people take it thinking that it is a super easy subject but don't have any interest in the subject content.
Also, I think one of the reasons why at AS it isn't as hard is because they want young people to be engaged in the subject.
I am looking forward to studying it at university though
Personally, I find it a joke that people find themselves superior to others because of the subjects they choose to study at 16 years old. There's no bigger sign of insecurity than criticising other peoples' life choices to make you feel better about your own. I think it's time for some people to grow up a little bit.
This is so true for GCSE, but for A-levels we are not supposed to go in so much analysis.
I wouldn't say it is easy.
I'm going to study Chemistry at University - I did AS-level English Literature and got an A, so I'm fairly qualified for my original comment. Though I admit I focused on a narrow aspect of the subject that undermines the course as a whole. (Though I did drop it for A2!)

It's very hard to do well in it because there is a very specific set of guidelines that you have to follow
Deciding between Birmingham and Nottingham as my firm.
Also have offers from Lancaster, Royal Holloway and Kent.

Oh wow snap, I'm in yr 12 now but If I get my target grades I want to apply for Politcs with Economics BSc at Bath, History and Politics at Warwick, Exeter and LSE and Politics at Durham
I saw that you did Greek GCSE, are you Greek or was it just an option you took?
