Current Year 11 Thread Mark I (2014-2015)

Would probably get an E or something.. Art's fun though

Ah cool if you are going to be doing 4 A Levels and want to use them for medicine, as its very competitive, art may be considered a soft subject.. I would recommend French or geography instead, although if you're more likely to get a higher mark in art that could still work check the subject requirements of the unis you're looking at and see which subjects they recommend

Art is great, but taking it as a subject is very very different There's loads of written analysis and you don't really produce original work, you study an artist and your final piece has to be inspired by them (using the same techniques/media/arrangement as them for example)
Saying that, it was still fun (so much work though)

Thank you I'm finding everyone on this website very helpful and nice too haha! I want to get help from my school mentor/ guidance person but it seems she only gives really generic advice
I'm such a procrastinator so idk if I could deal with art ? As much as I like the subject ..

when does everyone get there mock results back? get mine on the 15th and im scared...

Guys can I take a quick poll to see if anyone thinks GCSE English is completely useless. I mean as far as I know my future job won't require me to analyse Animal Farm or describe how someone's character develops over the course of a story. Some of the CA's are pretty useful, like how spoken language differs with age. Does anyone else share this view?

Sorta but then again, there might be some jobs that requires that. Who knows, maybe learning how to infer characteristics from someone's actions helps intelligence or police in interrogation or something.

I definitely don't think it's useless
Judgement and analytical skills are very useful in life, especially if you want to pursue a career in which you need to infer things from a text or situation (for example law). It also develops the sophistication of your expression, which gives you the upper hand in interviews and written work of any kind.

I understand the analytical skills it's just like with Macbeth I don't understand how being able to compare differences in characters between the play and film is useful

I don't see how else you'd be able to develop the skills otherwise without having something to practice and apply them to?

I know how the results are gonna be given to us but I dunno when.

Anyway, why are you scared? I'm sure you'll be fine
