zoo Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 B-tec IT & Engineering (which were such a doss...they even only had to send away 4 pupils folders who actually did work and we all passed.) I'm not trying to sound like I think I'm clever for that because I spray cars for a living because of not caring in school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Ahhh, this thread takes me back!When I did my options I chose Systems and Control, Resistant Materials, Business Studies and we also had some other option and I chose double award science.They were all pretty decent; although the only one I regretted was Resistant Materials as it was a bit of a ball ache. I did piss about a lot in this lesson and as a result I cost me several very, very late nights catching up with the written coursework and a mad rush to get the practical stuff finished on time; I somehow managed to get an A too.A bit of advice with this though; our school let us do whatever project we wanted to (within limits - and you had to purchase you're own materials), most people went for some amazing peices of work, however they're all judged equally so my advice is to keep it simple and not to make too much work for yourself. As long as your 'simple' peice is good, you'll piss it Systems was spent making balls of soldering flux...I got a B in this lesson as it was amazingly easy. I made an alarm system using a pressure pad which was really easy - most of the written coursework is straight forward, market research and questionnaires mostly. A peice of advice I had from my teacher was to first off pick something that you know was a bit shit; do the market research and how that it wouldn't work, then pick you're actual product. It'll help beef up your work and you'll earn brownie points for your research.Business studies, I found this was a love it or hate it thing, a LOT of writting involved. Although it's pretty easy if you remember stuff well and you have some business logic - our coursework involved company research into the 'Poppets' brand (the chocolates). The coursework was a bit shit because it was difficult to research the company and not go off and make your coursework too in depth. The exam for this was really simple though and your coursework sort of acted as revision for it.For science, it was just a double award yet it was the same exam that everybody else did. Not sure if you'll have this option as we were a specialist 'Science College'; so yea, same example but double the grade, I think I got a BB for this?Good luck whatever you choose Edited January 13, 2009 by Baby Pizzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack0174 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 i chose young apprentaship in construction it took up all my option choices lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) I chose; History, Double ICT, Resistant Materials, Double Science, and Young Enterprise.History was easy, had two writen pieces of coursework which we done in year 10, then from that time 'til the exam was just learning everything we could, I dossed around, didn't revise and managed to pull out a C.Young Enterprise is an exta GCSE some of us got to do out of school time, its basically setting up you own company, we set up a T-shirt company, the supplier was dodgy and never actually made any shirts and we nabbed lots of share holders money, but to get the actual GCSE itself you just need to do well enough in the exam (saying how great our company wasn't, and what we would do differently next time.)

JonMack Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I did Art (Digital Photography), History, Double Science, Full course IT, Half course Resistant materials, German.We didn't get to choose if we did a language or not, we had to, and I failed German, despite being in set 1. Also failed History because I really wanted to do two art courses, but my mum wouldn't let me, now I've got a degree in Graphic Design Failed IT cos my c/w was shit and I put in 0 effort, built a desk in Resistant Materials which I still use to this day (checked the date on it today for when it was moderated and it says March 2002, which means I've been using it since around then). Digi Photog was basically basic photoshop for 2 years, they'd give us p&s cameras, get us to shoot some stuff round the school then manipulate it (read as: apply filters) and I ended up with a C in that. Got CC in double sci, and that was it.Did eng lang/lit and got CC, double sci got CC, maths got a B, art got a C, resistant materials got half a B, so I left school with 6.5 GCSE's. The lowest set I was in for any subject was... 1 .I f**ked around at school and managed to pass my GCSE's with luck, and the fact I'm intelligent. Far too many kids think school is shit and blah blah blah, but if you don't pay attention or put in any effort, then it means you're just gonna have to end up spending longer at college, so you can meet the requirements for uni. I know not everyone is doing the school > college > uni thing, but they seem to be pushing it very hard on people, so it's worth getting your head down at school so you sail into college, rather than just about managing to blag entry.
