Hey there, I'm in Year 11. I'm taking:
•
AQA English Literature (Inspector Calls, Frankenstein, Much Ado, Power & Conflict)
•
Edexcel History A (CA: Civil Rights movement in America, Britain 50s-70s)
•
AQA RS B (Unit 2, Unit 4)
That's 10 GCSEs. Our school doesn't let people take GCSEs early. I haven't done any CAs yet apart from one of my writings for German which I got an expected A* for (27/30 marked by school), we'll see if the exam boards agree and don't mind too much about the lack of future tense.
In our year 10 mocks (which I barely revised for), I got an A* in everything apart from an A in History, an A in English Literature and a C in English Language. TBH I'm pretty sure my teacher marked my Language wrong, but whatever, I'll still work extra hard just in case. We're only taught Language once every two weeks by a different teacher to who teaches us Literature, but then she only shows up half the time to our lessons. Hopefully that changes in year 11.
I pretty much like all of my subjects except for maybe English Language, but I probably like Maths the best. I really don't know my future career or even what I want to study at university. I'm taking things one step at a time. It is literally impossible to predict or plan for the future, so don't waste your breath. Keep focused on what's in front of you and what you have to now, everything else will fall into place. I haven't decided on my A Levels. Probably going to take Maths, Further Maths, and either 2 of (Chemistry Physics Economics History).
I also like doing a bit of coding (C++ is my language of choice). I would've chosen Computer Science if my school had offered it. Politically, I'm a Conservative (would've voted for Brexit if I was voting age) and I support Donald Trump in the US. Probably made a lot of enemies there, but whatever
. It's strange since I'm from London and live in a typical Labour household. Hard to find people on TSR that aren't socialists, let alone full blown communists.
Start of Year 11 would be as good as time as any to make GCSE predictions for myself (Our school doesn't give predictions). I would really be hoping for: 7-9 A*s.
My school starts on the 2nd of September (ON A FRIDAY!), which I guess is pretty good, but also strange at the same time. Good luck lads, this year's gonna be fun. Let's enjoy it while we can before A Levels start and where **** actually gets real.
Feel free to tag me or PM me if you have any questions about subjects or just want to talk.
