What A level/s do you find a joke?

Really? I'm taking both Politics and History ATM and can tell you now that they are hardly similar.

Politics AS is a joke. There are two papers, unit 1 and unit 2. Unit 1 has practically gcse material (I'd expect EVERYONE to know what policies labour and conservatives stand for before they vote for example), not to mention you only have to answer 2 questions in the paper out of four topics (meaning you could blast through half the year on that unit). The boundaries are so low that sometimes it can be 60/80 for 100 UMS. As someone who "was" passionate about Politics before starting I think the course is incredibly patronising and designed for those who know absolutely nothing about Politics (which everyone should anyway). Unit 2 perhaps is a bit harder but even still it's daft to say it is hard compared to other subjects like maths etc.

A2 might be different, but that's my experience so far on the course. I might as well be twiddling my thumbs. If I could turn back the clock I wish I'd picked Physics or something actually useful.

Wow you should see Citizenship A level? It's basically As politics as a full A level

I've seen some of the Citizenship stuff and personally feel it should become a compulsory gcse.

Thank you for you irrelevant comment over a month later. Much appreciated.

How dare I point out this thread is a copy and paste of ones that happen every week.

Bye chap

English Literature.

"The man was wearing a coat"

Teacher: The man is selfish and self-obsessed and only looks out for himself. The coat is a metaphor for a shield of his dark soul.

Author: It was ****ing raining so he wore a coat.

this is a stupid thread- god how snobby and horrible i hop one day you people wake up from your grubby little bubble and have abit more respect

its nothing like that- its incredibly hard to do really well as you have to pander to a very specific mark scheme. I did english lit biology and history and english was by far the hardest
get your facts straight before you jump to your stupid snooty conclusions.

Use of maths.

Although as above geography is basically the same as GCSE at AS at least...
