I'm coping with 3unit maths, bt is it true that u need to be selected to do 4unit? I just got that rumour, i don't think i'll be selected- i'm not that 'consistent'

3U English

you can do a short story, poetry, drama, radio drama, speeches, critical response, multimedia, film, performance poetry... i think that's all, there might be a couple more options

Are you doing prelim Glycerine! OMG! I thought you were old like me!

Oh! and 4u English is the BEST possible course you can sit!

My physics teacher went on about something like that... Exactly why I dropped physics!

maybe pick up ext2 maths or ext history, drop bio, leaving me with 4 maths, adv english, modern, eco, french

at my school, they won't let u do both ext maths and ext english coz of the timetable - i wanted to do both, but i couldn't which really bugs me, expecially seeing as i'm coming first in english at my school. did anyone else have the same problem????

I'm not dropping anything, but i was going to i would drop retail.. but that would mean cancelling a contract i have with my current employment and all this other crap.. so im just gonna keep it.. even if it scales down badly...

i think ex1 maths may have clashed with ext 1 english in my year but their was another ext 1 class (maths) so you could do both. 2 be honets i never thought about doin ext 1 english until my teacher jus mentioned it and i might be able 2 pick it up next year. i always thought i was a genral student. i asked my co-curriculum adviser when we were goin 2 start applying 4 ext subjects (well i dont need 2 apply 4 ext 2 maths, cos im in... ) and he was amazed that other school were doin it so early. has any1 actualy started applying, and if not do you know when you can apply???

 

[krabby_me]

Currently i do:

Math ex1
Modern Hist
Eng Adv
Software Design and Development
physics
Chemistry

Im going to drop Modern History. but it has my favourite teacher.
I wish English wasnt needed so much in the outside world and wasnt compulsory. I would drop it.

They made me do 14 units!!! Only cause there were three of us who wanted to do both!

 

[sarahn]

we don't apply for ext subjects until after exams next term

 

[thorrnydevil]

I'm dropping maths-I dropped down from 2U this year to general cause the teacher was a cock head-and picking up history extension. So that'd be Ancient, modern (DE) and extension history, adv eng, economics and legal studies.

DOWN MATHS!!!!!
