Good luck in College Will. I hope you enjoy it, I've only got like 8/9 months left at school I start Y11 once Summer is over. I have to start deciding what I could be interested in doing and which college I may go to then by October I need to know for definite practically.

I have no idea what I'm doing but I was considering doing Media so you'll have to tell me what it's like

Most say it's the best year and it goes quicker than you think so I'm not too worried about it. I'm doing well in my most subjects also I got A*'s in my five pieces of English coursework and got an A on my mock. I've done well on all my controlled assessments I've gotten my target grade of B's or A's and I did well in most of my mocks (I ****ed up really bad on my Maths mock though I got a D)

Yeah, Year 11 does go quick. You're only in school from September till like April, really. And half of April is wasted on the Easter holiday. After then, you're pretty much off timetable doing your exams in May-June, and you finish school like a month early, so you get an extra 4/5 weeks of summer holiday.

Media studies was so tedious. Apparently they change the topic every year and we got print advertisements so we had to look for hidden meanings and bs

Yeah, that was like us.

We did ours in late November to mid December, if I remember correctly.

We had two sets of mocks in Year 11. One before Christmas, and one after February half-term, during March.

It's weird how I remember more of Year 10-11, than I do of college, and that was like 10 years ago. Those days were the best though

Year 8 is still my favourite year tbh. I liked this year but it wasn't as good as I expected it to at times.

Year 10 was my favourite.

You were old enough to not feel like the youngest, and GCSE's made you feel grown up , and everyone had matured by then, but it was still a year before your GCSE's, so it felt less serious and you could still enjoy yourself.

True, but all of the subjects like art and food tech where you could just doss about

prepare to see lots of people dressed like this Daniel

[Daniel-X]

I had mocks in Y9 also but only in Science, R.E., English and Maths

I've already done one of my science GCSES this year I'm expecting to get a B.

[Jason.]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Year 10 is the year where you drop all the deadwood subjects like DT/ICT/etc, and just do the subjects you chose for GCSE's and the core ones, which made lessosn more enjoyable.

What options did you choose?

Gosh, it's been so long. I think I did History, Sociology, and Media Studies.

The thing is I went to a language college, so we had to do a MFL as a GCSE as it was compulsory, so I chose Spanish. That was a pisstake, though as nobody cared about languages (well I didn't anyway ).

One of the invidulators always says 'Fancy phone watches ARENT allowed' at the start of the exam
