general studies is horrid for us cos we dont get taught or anything, no guidance, just sit in the exam and be expected to know it...same for a lot of other peeps I know but some people get taught it...wonder if they get better grades? I dunno cos last year I got a C and I know people who were taught it and failed :P...basically just know a lot about current affairs and stuff and you're sorted
IMO the general studies papers are very similar to GCSE religious studies papers, i.e. with all the morality and ethics stuff, I guess its an advantage knowing that, but I've found all the papers so far to be general knowledge (we don't have proper lessons for GS either)

we had 2 lessons a week, and honestly NOTHING i learnt in the lessons i have used in the exams! *hoping for a B again*
I did 1 and 2 - i don't know anyone who didn't do 1! It was much better than I was expecting and I think I've done well overall but as it won't get me into uni, I wish I could trade a good grade in general studies with my chemistry grade to make sure I get in!

I did 3 and 1 but i should have done 3 and 2...kinda got stuck on 1. Got a B last year had 1 lesson a week only turned up to half of them tho. Not really bothered bout general studies the exam was sooooo boring, although question 3 was good.
We did the whol a level this year, with just 2 lessons a week. I did 1 and 2. I wrote loads of waffley crap about the Welsh Baccalaureate for the second question! But my sole aim was to get onto extra sheets of paper! Which I did! I was very pleased! And studying Biology with a food science option meant I was laughing at question one! :smile:

lucky! I started writing about "Jamie's School Dinners"...not sure its what theyre looking for but I dont care really :P. I dont think Ive ever got onto extra sheets of paper in any of my exams :frown:...never have that much to say really. That one wasnt as good as my first General exam though, I started talking about Oasis in that one...myguy mates were well proud of me :biggrin:
Lol! Excellent! I talked about Jamie's School Dinners too.
