    Some of my friends took it up for the first time repeating and had no problems with doing the course in one year. Yeah, I think there's a project involved.

    but you may not be actually brought in for the oral... its strange.

    the teacher predicts grades for everyone, and then the examiner picks a few people and does an oral with them, and if the grade the examiner gives them matches the teachers predicted grades, ta-daa, only a few are examined, and the predicted grades stand.




    i think.



    i didnt do it, but i was talking to people about it before it happened..

    Only 3 ppl went in for the oral out of the ag science class.

    We had to do a similar thing for GCSE P.E where only 3 ppl went into the oral from my class. I didnt have to go in thank god

    What do you talk about? "What type of grass do you have in your Garden?"
    "If you have two cows having sex how many will you have at the end of the year?"

    :rolleyes: I'd say its harder than that... It's like the environment aspect of geography, with the science aspect of biology, (genetics, reproduction, cell division) all that junk.

    Hate to burst the myth bubble but ag.science really is not that easy!
    Take a look at the grades given for it, it's taken by people who wwant to get high grades, yet the number that come out with A's is relatively low.
    The Project is unbelievably long and time consuming.
    The rest of the course is ok and doing biology is a major advantage. Still though it's a huge course and though there's great choice in LC exam, literally ANYTHING can come up, things you've never heard of etc.

    I like the subject, am interested in the stuff and would reccomend it, but definatley not to someone not willing to put in the work and I really wouldn't suggest anyone do the subject as a one year course!
