Our computing teacher didn't fully teach us unit 2 of AS Computing but sat us in the exam as a mock, and people can take the best grades through.... works for us, although I see markyp's point that it is unfair
 
Yeah I can totally see where he is coming from. Many in my business group got naff grades but that was totally down to their input. We now have to spend 1/3 of our lessons going back over previous units. I got an A so I'm just twiddling my thumbs. I just think the circumstance of a teacher missing out 1 of the 2 units is a bit different.
 
Oh, one other thing. If you do venture onto 'the student room' *shudder* take everything with a pinch of salt. I would say 80% of them are egotistical and they certainly talk a lot of rubbish.
 
Oh, the "common room". Full of people doing A2 Golf (or some equally retarded subject) in my 6th form. Idiots isn't the word.

TSR is one of the most annoying forums on the internet. So much garbage is spouted in that place...

Quite - For one exam I was told I was 'stupid' for not revising other case studies, when clearly this wasn't in the exams criteria. I was assured by my own teacher that I didn't need to, yet apparently he was also 'stupid :rolleyes:'. The exam came and suprise suprise, they were all talking complete rubbish.

I would say it just pips any Muse forum for the ultimate low of the internet.

I was forced into taking the French AS level as my school is a language college, we had no option of not taking it if we had done the French GCSE early (again, not an option if you are in a top set)

I had this at my school for Maths, we took it at age 14/15 for GCSE and then had to spend a year studying A-level stuff alongside the rest of our GCSEs. I can't imagine you'll have any trouble ditching it for the actual 6th form, I think the main reason schools enforce it is for time-tabling reasons (i.e. otherwise they'd have a bunch of a A-setters with nothing to do for a year.)

I couldn't find any information on that from a quick google, are you sure?

Q1: I didn't do too well in my exams and want to resit. I've already cashed in - but can I decline? I don't want these grades on my UCAS form.
A1: The last chance to decline, ever, will be 20 September 2007, as the declining rule is being removed. Thereafter, each time you resit a module - and cash in - a new certificate will be awarded and recorded on your UCAS record. If you decline your unwanted grades by 20 September 2007 - or do not cash in after a resit from 20 September onwards - then the grades in these subjects will not be on your UCAS record.

Adding to the above, as I've already done one module out of the 3...will this mean that I'm going to get a grade whatever I do? Because that's really not good if so :/
 
Hi all.

Just to let you know; mother and myself spoke with people at school today and I'm officially off. Very pleased now, a lot off my mind :)
 
Was just about to post:

'looks like you cant get out of it. I'd be willing to help you with it. send me your topics and I'll 'help' you with them so you can learn them by heart :D'

oh well...

Anyways bet you're relieved about that! Good luck with it all and if you need any advice then I'm sure the good people of OcUk and certainly myself would be willing to try and help.
Good luck
Voltar.
