sorry but ARE YOU CRAZY!!!!
A LEVELS EASY!!!!

i prefer coursework and i dont agree with not learning anything cause you'd definitely need to do research and read alot=learning


thanks :smile:
actually i read something about applied science but behind it it said only AS, so :s-smilie:
but thats with coursework??? i didnt know A level does coursework???

the 6 unit one might be the award one then


No. A-levels do coursework. Not all. E.g. my history had 0% cwork

But I know people who did ICT and stuff that had Cwork. Think my bro had cwork for English as well.

Depends on the exam board as well.

Yeah, think it was the award. What BTEC are you thinking of doing?

Yeah, my school had a big list of all the subjects and how much was cwork/exam etc.

Well good luck with the BTEC. My only advice to you would be to make sure you know what course you are thinking of, and if the BTEC in H&S is accepted. E.g. BTEC Sports Dev., Coaching and Fitness wasn't an accepted subject for Physiotherapy due to lack of science modules. So be careful. And aim for DDD. Even if your course is MMM, DDD is what you'll want to get incase your circumstances change. I could have had DD. But I thought I only needed DM and therefore basically aimmed for that and didn't bother putting the work in for the rest. Completly backfired, but thats another story.

Also, do your best for every single first draft, make sure you've got all the stuff in there that you need, that way if you have any corrections, you'll not have many. And if you do, you'll have a better foundation to work for the top marks than say someone who just pissed on paper to say they never missed the deadline.

BTEC is easy provided you are organised, do the work as soon as you get it and do your first draft like it's your final draft.

And PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE. If you take any of my advice, take this golden rule, back up your work. USB pen, laptop and college hardrive. I twice in lower6th had to redo several bits of work because I had lost work with no back up.
