That would be the grade I would need!
How, under a year, did you manage that? Just learn as the homework/study was given or...?
And, how much percent is the project worth and is it hard to get a good mark?
Thank you Sunny
I just went to all classes and listened really. I would say i was more interested in it than any other of my subjects as it was new to me.
For homework i just done all the exam questions assigned.
if we did a topic in the class id look for it in the exam papers and do it and hand it up.
I had about 36 essays learned going into the exam and still got caught out so its not easy by any means theres a lot to be absorbed. I done an hour of geography everyday.
the project was grand i found we payed alot of attention to it. It is really easy to get marks in it.
Business is very hard to get an A grade imo. Are there any other options?0 -

See, here's the thing. I did History and French in the first LC. Absolutely horrendous at languages so will not do that this year. So I guess, Business or Geography is replacing it.
History has changed so I would have to learn an entire 2 new sections plus write a new research study. And I only got a D1 in it the first time and that was with alot of essay writing and learning.
I figured taking Geo/Business to replace these two would pay off points wise?
Definately not doing French again. NO WAY!
Surely it can be done? Two new subjects?
If I put my head down until next June? 0 -

Two newsubjects can definetely be done! in my repeat year loads took up 2 new subjects.:)
I think geography really is a great option.
But i wouldnt do business thats just my opinion(feel free to ignore, but there were alot of A1 students in my repeat year all year and most didnt get them in the real thing)
How about biology/accounting/economics?0 -

Oh going for the A1 in Biology this time Biology is my original baby 
Accounting and Economics - not sure I have the head for it
Business seemed ok as in theory and situations etc
We received a list about new subjects from the college I will be attending to repeat and Business/Geography are offered as new subjects? So I am trying to work from that.
Accounting isn't offered full stop. And economics isn't listed as a 'recommended new subject' 0 -

yeah it seems ok but its not exact. Its wafflish. I havent done ag science but is it on the list? At least thats scientific fact compared to the waffle of business.
Just trying to warn that business isnt as easy as perceived:)0 -
