How much do AS repeats cost?

College pwnz.

his second GCSE year. He did it in one year, leaving a lot of empty space in the second year.

I'm still confused (learning an AS in the second year?) but "current conditions" (:D) aren't helping, so I'll just leave it.

He did the GCSE early and in the second year is going to do two AS modules, but the college he's going to does the AS on a different exam board, so those modules are worthless.

I'm still not with it...

If you're doing a follow on subject at AS that requires a previous GCSE, then despite moving schools/exam boards, you should still be able t do it.

However, if not this would be a waste of a GCSE, not the fact you did it early. Unless you had to do another GCSE to go with it as well, which you implied you didn't have to.

In short, how does an EARLY GCSE affect your choice at AS?

Because now this year we're doing two A-Level modules. And to have them count as anything, we need a third to make it an AS level, which would require staying on at my school to do sixth form, which I don't want to do, I'm off to a college instead, and the college does a different exam board. So the two modules I'll have done will mean nothing.

Thus meaning that doing the GCSE a year early means nothing.

Apart from I get to miss lots of lessons in college because I'll have covered all the work already.

Surely you'll have a year of not being old enough to do anything?

?

The whole mind set at our school (:'}) was to fail first time round and then just take them all again at A2 and get full marks...

It worked for me!

I just found out today that me doing my GCSE a year early was pretty much pointless unless I stay on to do Sixth Form at my school.

Which I'm not.
