So far 3 of my 4 i will take are:

Media, Film and Photograpghy

Anyone taken them?? Are they really hard??

[Tom]

Media is the easiest subject ever, you even get to take the answers into one of the exam!

[Gemmer-x]

A-levels; Law, Sociology, Business + Spanish. = bad times. They're so hard. :sad:

I can't talk about A levels but the Vocational courses of Media can be quite challenging. No tests involved but a lot of coursework and practical stuff.

[Spike]

All are easy and enjoyable apart from Psychology

[Christina]

Ive picked:

English Lang/Lit
History
Photography

Film is very easy and can be very enjoyable if you love film
Some of my friends take media and photograpghy, they say those subjects are also easy and enjoyable as long as you put the effort in

[TheMac]

I want to take
Buisness
Politics
English
and something else, maybe History.

BUT my school might change to the IB before then anyway.

I liked Psychology, thought it was interesting. Suppose it depends which board you do and whether your teacher is fit or not :lovedup:

[bronaaaa]

Dunno yet, maybe Media studies, English Lit, Spainish, French

[Princess]

Had to do Irish,English and Maths
Also did History,Home Ec,Business,Biology and French.

I HATED Irish,Maths,French and Business. If we had the English system I would have done English,History,Home Ec and Biology.

My school is so boring! They offer the most basic subjects with little on the way of variety. Looks luke I'm stuck with media studies, English and 2 other boring subjects that I don't wanna do.

i then later did a nvq in early years care and education which i did as on the job training
