    Hello, I'm in 5th year and I do LCVP, We start work experience soon and I haven't found anything good yet, I was told I had pick one related to our career choice. I got somewhere good last year in ty, and want to know if I could get away with writing my report on last year's work. Some others in my year plan to do that however our teacher told us we get no marks if they find out we do that.

    Opinions?

    Edit: sorry, got confused ignore the title meant LCVP.

    Your teacher is right.
    Do this year's work experience this year.
    It's a lot more important in LCA than in TY as credits rely on it.
    If you can't find something 'good' just go and do any type of work. You will learn something from it.

    Sorry, meant LCVP don't know why I said LCA. I imagine your point still is the same though . Thanks.

    We have to do the same, because apparently the examiners don't want to hear you talk about TY work experience, i really don't know why though. I'm not even doing the work experience write up, we're doing the 'My Own Place' task, but for the interview as well they seem to want work experience you have done in 5th year.
