Anyone else writing this write now? You're basically just supposed to say what you've learned and gained from doing the activities in CAS right?

*Sigh* I would have done 98% of the activities even if there was no such thing as CAS :tongue: I did 12 activities and I can only think of 1 that I did because of CAS. I guess I just have to BS my way through it.......like my self-evaluation sheets.


Yea, just make it look as if you've done and learnt a lot from CAS and bullshit a bit if you don't have enough words! It's important anyway to your final mark as long as you pass CAS!

As long as you follow the criteria and BS your way through you'll be fine :smile:. They won't check the structure of your essay or your English or anything lol!! Doesn't require as many brain cells~.
