Original post by MrMackyTv

I picked French, History and Geography (Business Studies as a reserve). :smile:

Ah nice

we got 4 options when we did ours :holmes:

I forgot you can study art history :lol:

You get my gist though...

Well, I took art and history as two separate subjects, but yeah :tongue:

I only carried history on to AS though :smile:

She was doing the work on the dining room table so wasn't exactly detective work :giggle:

Ahh, cheating were you? :wink:

Am I the only person who doesn't hate coursework? I just fly through it.. We had to do an essay of 2000 words and did it in 1 hour (fast typer) just writing what was on my mind and got an 8+ (8a)!

I only started mine this year but.. Keep your head down, concentrate 70-75% of the time to get a pass (that's what my teacher told me) but i just concentrate all the time now.. Keep on top of homework as it creeps up on you and make your work look neat so it's easy to revise from 😏

The bad news is that you'll be doing the new style GCSEs for some subjects with no coursework. :tongue:

Hate coursework, find it depressing :nothing:

How did you do it so quick? :eek:

Guessing you planned/wrote a draft beforehand?

I just had a list of criteria, wrote my base text and then filled in the criteria where applicable
