The Current Year 12 thread 2016-2017

I'm taking English lit, history, maths and further maths.
There doesn't seem to be many revision guides around for English; I think the expectation is that we do our own research online about a text, and use that to form our own opinions and present an argument, but with texts where there is little available online, it is difficult to do this...

My school seems to have this really bizarre policy where they ignore the GCSE results we received only a few weeks ago and reassess us on the content of our GCSE exams themselves in a series of assessments over the next two weeks. I understand that they are checking what we have forgotten over the summer, but it just seems a bit excessive! Have you had to do anything like this?

lmao nope !! No exams yet. But I will do around December. So have you had any lessons or are you just doing exams?
I thought there would be more stuff online since people did the new spec last year but there is nothing, only the exemplar material on their website which doesn't help much when you don't even know what it's about.

I'm Joe! I'm into acting, and like to do that in my spare time! I'm studying geography, media and English Lang & Lit A levels! I wanna start using this app more often as I'm starting to struggle already with the gcse to a level jump! Hoping to make some friends on here maybe?😂

Hey! I'm in the same boat as you, the GCSE to A level jump :/ I'm doing Maths, FM, Physics and Computing as my A levels How are you finding school so far? or college?

Wow those are some tricky A levels😳 I've gone to a college! Yeah it's good, I like the relaxed feel & I'm making lots of new friends which is nice! Are you at a college or a school?


Posted from TSR Mobile

Haha, true but if I were to do the ones you're doing, I'd be struggling My school's pretty relaxed even though it may not seem that way, yeah I go to a school, I've met a lot of new people you just keep meeting new people everyday tbh

That's good then! Yeah that's what I've found, it's great😃

Hey! Doing maths and further maths as well which exam board are you on and how are you finding it so far? Was also going to choose physics but then decided not to ahaha!

What do you plan to do after your A levels?

OCR MEI, wbu?
So far it's fine, currently I'm doing S1 and C1, C1 is great and S1 is fine too, just a lil more trickier although quite fun if you get it

Physics has been fun so far tbh

I'm not too sure! Defo hoping to go uni, I do like geog and media though so maybe a job which combines them both? Idk, kinda wish my college did a level drama though😢 what are your plans? Everyone's so much more planned out in life than me😂

Oh right ok! Im doing EdExcel!

My teacher told me that the exam board 'MEI' are for those who do not have a teacher or something like that ahaha!

Oh so your only starting off with 2 modules? In my school I'm given 1 maths teacher who teaches 3 of my lessons for C1 and will be doing C2, C3 and C4 and then I have 2 further maths teachers teaching 5 of my lessons. One of them is teaching me S1 up until end of November and then will start teaching M1 until April, the other teacher is teaching me D1 up until the end of November and will be teaching me FP1 after up until April!
My maths teacher is teaching us C1 up until end of November and then doing C2 until April!

Sorry that sounds super confusing so hopefully you get it ahaha

Yh it's going really well! S1 is a module that's super easy to lose marks on and my FM teacher said that his students tend to divert from liking statistics to mechanics after a few months because of how easy it is to lose marks in the stats modules ahaha! Im super excited to start M1 lol I love mechanics


Posted from TSR Mobile

OCR MEI is the hardest exam board, I wish I did Edexcel

Well, we're gonna do C1 and S1 till October I believe, but overall this year I'm doing C1, C2, S1, M1, D1, FP1.

Yeah, makes sense I have 2 teachers, one for the pure modules and one for applied modules

Yep, you can easily lose marks on S1 I'm quite excited for M1 too as I'm doing Physics and Mechanics is really related to it

Haha, not really sure, definitely uni, and then perhaps a Masters degree in Engineering, probably Software Engineering but yh I'm not entirely sure about anything atm, just worried about A levels rn
