i am in year 12 doing level 3 health and social care extended diploma i need motivation to do coursework because i like procrastinate doing coursework because its effort.

Have you tried breaking down your coursework into small chunks so that it's more manageable and you can tick off the sections as you go? It might help you feel like you're achieving something if there are smaller goals to work towards :smile:

I'm doing an Extended Diploma in Computing (year 12). I recently completed my assignment with over 7,000 words. Now I am preparing for mock exams. I also need to make a huge assignment on computer architecture. My hobby is doing maths in free time, and also programming. Now I’m thinking about whether I should do A level maths; since I really enjoy doing maths.:beard:
Hello, my name is Jacob, I'm currently studying BTEC extended diploma. I want to ask you a question about BTEC extended diploma UCAS point. I'm currently in second year of the BTEC extended diploma course. I already have 90 UCAS point tariff in my first year. My question is when I ask for university, does the university calculate the overall grade for both year or just my second year?

wow.... half of our class have passed with on what we were taught based on the past papers.

its based on the learning quality. Some colleges have teachers that can teach you well and some colleges where they do not teach at all including the exam theoretical lessons.
