The Current Year 12 thread 2016-2017

So how many of you already made friends? The ones that started already.

I've dropped Geography for Statistics, so now My A-levels are Maths, Chemistry, Statistics, Graphics and the extended project qualification

Had my first lessons today, and already have two essays for homework. One for English lit and one for sociology. I would have cried if I'd gotten an essay for History.
Other than that an overall great start, I can't believe I just had my first day and some people have finished their first week

Essays already😳 I've got a lot of work but it's mainly research

The price I have to pay for picking essay based subjects.

I'm doing essay subjects history English lit and r.S
My exam boards are all OCR what exam boards are you?

OCR for English lit but Edexcel for history and I don't do R.S.

Are you studying women in literature and Shakespeare's Hamlet?

I'm doing hamlet
I'm doing gothic fiction so the bloody chamber which has elements of feminism
And Christina Rossetti for poetry
I've chosen 3 essay subjects what's your other subjects?

I'm doing Christina Rossetti for poetry too. Are you doing OCR history?

Some bits of this was stolen from @JTran38 year 11 thread.

I'm always continuously editing.

Yes
I'm doing the Stuart's which included Charles 1 and Oliver Cromwell I'm doing imperial Russia and Russian revolution and then witchcraft

Oh I'm doing the Early Tudors (Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI & Mary I) and the Crusades.

I'm doing hamlet
I'm doing gothic fiction so the bloody chamber which has elements of feminism
And Christina Rossetti for poetry
I've chosen 3 essay subjects what's your other subjects?

I never liked A-Level Chemistry. So happy I don't have to do that rubbish again.

Yeah, a lot of the questions are "thinking questions" where we have to apply our knowledge and understand in any context. Apparently, only learning facts will result in you getting an E at A Level

I'm also taking chemistry. Which exam board are you doing?

Arh wow. We're doing Charles 1 because it fits in with witchcraft, but we don't do witchcraft till next year. I have 2 teachers. I already know what I want to do for my coursework I want to do America or Germany

Has anyone else changed any of their options??

I'm changing RS to geography and I'm thinking about picking up further maths as an AS, but I think i might do that in my second year.

I'm fine, thanks. How about you?? It's been a really long time. + Of course, I remember you.

We haven't been told what we're doing at A2. I have 3 teachers - 1 for Early Tudors and 2 for the Crusades. I'm not sure what I want to do at the moment but I'm thinking about doing something related to Africa or Asia because I haven't learnt much about them at school.
