Like in this year's Biology exam, which basically tested our common sense?
Fair enough. And the holidays are probably long enough for us.
So apart from International Relations (which is the same for everyone anyway) we're doing completely different units.. I've got Germany 1918-39 and British Society 1951-79. I used to enjoy History a lot, but after realising how much essay writing goes into this? I'm kind of, sort of wishing I'd taken Geography instead.
But I admire you for taking History at A-level, because it definitely won't be easy.
Yeah exactly, ours was just explaining graphs basically
I guess there is a lot of essay writing that goes into History, but if it's on a topic I like then once I get into writing an essay I enjoy it. Geography would have probably suited me quite well and I wish I took that instead of Drama or something as well
Haha yeah I've heard it's hard but then again no A Levels are meant to be easy. Which subjects are you planning on taking next year?

Nope, even if I enjoyed the topic, the thought of writing pages and pages about it would deter me from it.
I wish our school had Drama in the first place so that I could have at least tried the subject.
Guess that's very true. I'm taking Maths, FM, Physics and German. How about you?

Drama pre-GCSEs is very fun which is why I chose it for GCSE. However, GCSE Drama is a lot of writing and reflection on your work which you just don't do in Year 7, 8 and 9. It's very boring but nonetheless counts for 40% of the final grade.
I'm doing History, French, Spanish and an EPQ. I applaud you for doing Maths and FM; both must be really challenging but if you enjoy doing it then it wouldn't be too bad I guess. I am literally counting down the hours until I finish Maths forever. We're both doing languages at A Level though, woo!
I'm currently an AS student but have taken AS German in year 11 as it is my heritage language. Have one more exam and that is A2 German paper which is next week Thursday.
