Current Year 11 Thread Mark I (2014-2015)

No, in our exams we don't write essays (although apparently you have to at A Level), we just answer questions. For example, we're usually given an extract of a fake article and we may be asked "What is non-verbal communication? Refer to the article in your answer" for about 2 marks. We also have to answer questions about case studies and often give advantages and disadvantages of certain ones.

Don't worry it's fine, I'm happy to answer any questions you have!

Ah I see.

Not sure whether that's a good thing or not. Probably good. :biggrin:

How many exams like that do you have? It is split into modules? :
Thanks.

Personally I think it's quite good, although there is a lot to remember :frown:

We do Unit 1 and Unit 2 and there are 5 topics on each paper. Both papers are the same format, just different topics :smile:

I'll probably do the EPQ as it's pretty much compulsory at my current school's sixth form. Are you planning on doing it? :smile:

Yes, we had to sign up for an extra-curricular (stuff like DofE, Arts Award, Volunteering etc), definitely looked the best! :smile:

So have I :wink:

But on the positive side of things, it is helping me with my exam technique.

I may or may not do it; people have given me mixed opinions on it...

Hello! I am Reza, an aspiring surgeon.
I am currently in year 11, and do the following subjects; Computing, Triple Science(Biology,Physics,Chemistry), Economics, Business, iGcse English, English Lit, Maths (Higher), R.E (Catholic school, therefore necessary), and Persian (Additional language).
In terms of hobbies, I go to the gym, or a boxing class on monday's and wednesday's, other than that i study or surf the net. Surfering the net is a major drawback for me, as it consumes my motivation to study; furthermore become a immense distraction!
