I’m doing geography, Spanish, business, and graphic design. I wanted to take further maths but my teacher is taking so long to sort it out that I think it’ll be too late to complete the curriculum and walk out with a decent grade, which is a shame cause I adore maths.
Do you enjoy the subjects you picked?

Ohh, good luck! How have things gone so far? I’m predicted 9s in English but idk, lit freaks me out cause of all the poems and books they expect you to remember :s-smilie:
I’ve got an eng lang paper 2 mock next month - any idea what sort of questions will come up? Paper 1 is awesome, I loved it, but I have no idea what to expect for this one.

they've gone alright really apart from maths, that q 21 oh my days
ahh same im predicted 9s in both englishes, i prefer lang more because you're able to finesse your interpratations more obviously because its an unseen extract. Yeah lit is really overwhemling, I'm so glad for my gcses we got to knock a topic off this year so i only have 3 to revise
Ahh eng land paper 2 is always the hardest, i'd say work on scoring the highest on the article writing because thats always where you can gain the most of your marks, has your teacher not gone over the different qs and how you answer them?

What was the question?
I’d love to take lang as an a level, honestly, it’s so much fun!
Wait.. article..? Damn. I’m not gonna get a 9 first try then :lol: No, we’ve never done that before, and he hasn’t gone over the questions yet. I’ll aim low for paper 2 and just work on improving once I know what the questions are like - thanks for the heads up!

ah if you google edexcel maths paper 1 q21 you'll see all sorts of questions, it was an awful question with like overlapping circles and not even any of the grade 9 students in my class understood it
Wow thats quite unfair considering you've done no exam technique for Paper 2, okay well I have the perfect solution; theres this youtuber called 'Mr salles' who does really good english lang videos as well as lit and he does all the grade 9 content, like literally he was my life support for english all throught yr 10 and even now in yr 11 he is genuinely awesome, so i do reccommened him, also if you don't like his teacher style; 'Mr Bruff' or 'Mr Everything English' are also really good resources. best of luck!!

Not really.I do enjoy geography but I find computing very boring compared to what I thought it would be like.Do you enjoy it subjects?

I enjoy geography enough to do geography club after school :tongue: Business is too easy, so I guess I like being able to relax and not stress but I find it very boring. Spanish is okay - the grammar is so fun but there’s a lot of vocab to learn which is a bit off putting. Graphics is… eh. In lesson, it’s nice cause I can just put in headphones and draw for an hour solid. Although, there’s a lot of homework, tight deadlines, and it’s very high pressure, so I do kind of regret picking it. Wish I’d gone for sociology instead.

What do you do in computing?
