I HATE YEAR TEN.

[aliveandkicking]

Eurgh.

I cannot stand it.
It's really annoying me now.
I do my coursework REALLY well. My english coursework I have done well

I'm failing English, predicted a D.
I'm ok at Maths, predicted a C.
I'm rubbish at Chemistry predicted a E.
I'm rubbish at Physics predicted a E.
I'm rubbish at Biology predicted a F.
I'm good at Art but my teacher hates me and everyone can see that. He picks on me because I talk a bit. EVERYONE basically talks in my Art and it's me he picks on eurgh.
I'm ok at Media predicted a B.
I'm good at Drama predicted a C.
I'm predicted a D in ICT

I DO actually try.
I'm not a rebel or anything :| eurgh,
I want to do well
But I can't seem to keep things in my head!
Someone help :(

Just to let you know, Media Studies is a worthless subject right now so don't have confidence in it because you will not get a job with it or even get into University. I think you should focus on your English and Science a lot. Personally I have had no problems with Year 10 :)

[StefanCampbell]

@undertaker: kick him whilst he's down why don't you.. breath of fresh air you are.. You're life may be oh so ''perfect''..

But unlike you people find year 10 very hard, i agree it is very hard mate. But keep revising and listening at school, and you'll be fine :).

[VPSwow]

Focus on the subjects you are less good at and attend revision classes before exams. Also make sure you ask the teacher if you are stuck with questions :)

[Technologic]

Year 10 is fine for me :l

Slow down, dont rush work, plan it and you should improve

It needs to be said, all the kids who took Media Studies a few years ago can't get jobs now as the subject is worthless and there are nowhee near enough jobs to go around.

[jackass]

Just to let you know, D isn't a fail grade.

And just keep revising and working hard!

My predicted results are...

Maths - A
English - A
Biology - A
Chemistry - A*
Physics - A
Business Studies - B
ICT - A*
Resistant Materials - C

why are you posting your predictions?
he's not asking for them is he?

[jackass]

At above, what I meant was, I work hard and revise, no matter how much I hate it, and those are the predicted grades I got.

Also, I got a C, and he said it was bad, but i'm proud of it. :)

[Naruto!]

To me it looked like he was showing off his grades in comparison to what the thread starter got.

yeah but theyre your predicted grades.. not your actual grades lmao

sometimes if your predicted a's or a*'s you tend to slack a little on the work

[jackass]

I know, thats probaly what i'm doing now imo. ;)

But I meant, I got the predicted grades from the year before, when I worked hard, which I don't do as much now.

[Ugawa]

Wait till ur in year 11, its alot worse.

But just do the best you can, if you dont get into college or anything u can go to night school.

yupp i agree 100% with you

[PaintYourTarget]

It works well with Art or English too.
At GCSE, it's not going to get you a job, but if you have an A Level in it, it can help you go to University to study it. Someone with a Degree, even in media studies, is more likely to get a job than someone who isn't.

[joshuar]

Predictions are normally wrong. You are just starting Year 10 and you are being predicted for grades in just over a years time? Just think how much better you will get, you haven't even done a quater of your GCSEs yet so there is still loads of time.

Year 11 isn't special either, but you will be able to expand on your knowledge. Also, if they give you bad predictions it will make you work really hard to get really high marks. I got a little cocky and fluffed it up. Don't do the same as I did :)

I have already said, Universitys won't even acknowledge Media Studies when people are applying for the University.

[PaintYourTarget]

Want to provide me with some proof for that?
All these (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Universities+Media+Studies&meta=cr%3DcountryUK%7CcountryGB) universities offer media studies.

And besides, what's wrong with studying subjects because you enjoy them? I take A level Art and Photography. I don't need them. I'll never use them.

What ict are you doing. If you are doing Ocr, all you need to do is completed unit one then you have a a-c in the bag

[jackass]

Yeah, but there are 3 other units as well.

And he can only get an A if he does pass, merit and distinction.

[BlueLord]

why are you posting your predictions?
he's not asking for them is he?

Why are you posting a pointless post? He's asking for help, nothing else. He's also not asking for your useless info.


You can't do any better than your best. You should focus and just try - don't let it get you down and if needed ask your teacher to explain it more, like go to them at lunch, breaks, after school etc.

Hope this helps ;) Keep your chin up...

[Aflux]

True, for now - but in the future, near future, demand will be high and those degrees will be worth more than your house.

that's absolute crap btw lol
it's only some of the snobbish unis see it as a soft subject, along with business studies and one or two other subjects
80/90% of colleges/universities still accept it as a normal subject.

[Krusty]

find out the best way that you learn
- by being told something
- acually doing something
- or watching someone do something
then do your work that way

I hate it when people who don't try get good grades, and then there is people like you who put in 100%, but the grades dont show that.

In my opinion, you should concentrate on your English and Art. It is your examiner who will mark your exam, not your teacher so if you truely are good at it you should get a good grade.

Looks like your doing OK in Maths, and a A*-C in Maths is what most college courses, and even uni's want. They also want English Language, so you need to make sure you get at least a C in that :) Just make sure you give 100% in class, listen carefully, do homework, when you get home look through your notes. I know it's hard, but it will be worth it when you get a C.

And don't listen to Undertaker about Media being worthless - As long as you have 5 A*-C (and it don't matter which ones, as long as they include English and Maths) you're employable, and can get onto almost any college course.

Good Luck :)

[SKEEN]

Study harder?

[cocaine]

Why are you posting a pointless post? He's asking for help, nothing else. He's also not asking for your useless info.

yes he is asking for help, not for other peoples predictions, which makes your post as useless as mine, think before you type mate please.

[-:Undertaker:-]

True, for now - but in the future, near future, demand will be high and those degrees will be worth more than your house.

So in the meantime the people who wanted a career in Media but can't get one because there's not enough jobs can sit by for the next 30 years.

It is soft otherwise Uni's wouldn't ban it.

They don't ban it... Lots of them offer courses that specialise in media. Just because it's a bit more vocational than it is academic doesn't mean it's "soft". It depends what you enjoy doing and what kind of future careers you're interested in. I also agree with whoever said that employers will look more favourably upon people who completed a university degree pertaining to media than someone who didn't bother going to uni at all.

[Nain]

Revise before you attend each class - also Ask the teacher, and if you can report the ART teacher to your Form Tutor or Headmaster?

Whether it's soft or hard in your opinion, the people who took it as a main career choice cannot get jobs in in.

[O]

Im doing ok kind of.. English B maths B physics C Biology B Chemistry A Business C Art B Re C Geography C German D. :].

[Smiddy]

It works well with Art or English too.

He's right :)

I have already said, Universitys won't even acknowledge Media Studies when people are applying for the University.
You're wrong.

Taking this from someone who's in their 4th year of Media Studies (so GCSE first, then AS, now A2) and is planning to go on to do it at University (4 out of 5 applications of which were successful) it's going to be a very helpful, useful topic, because some people don't realise the diversity of media.
Media isn't just Tv, film & magazines. Media has now varied into a wide range of different area's. People use you for advertising, not just for television, but also for radio, the internet, newspapers. People use you for coding skills within website design (so ICT & media studies together is going to be a huge bonus to you in the future, anyone who is interested). People use you for radio technology. People use you for camerawork, either still images or moving image, even editing images (producing). People use you for Music videos, people use you for music cutting, people use you for film cutting.
And in Britain, do you see a majority of mainstream films being broadcast in cinema's as blockbusters? Atonement is the most recent one and is going on to storm the ocsars and bafta's. But in the bafta's, "This is England" has 2 nominations, the director, Shane Meadows, has been huge within Europe with films like Dead Man's Shoes, but in Britain, doesn't get a look in because his films aren't made with household names.

Back to the thread starter :).
Year 10 is a good time to make inroads into your grades for GCSE, use the essays wisely, take all the advice you can on your work and add to it. I was, at the beginning of Year 11, predicted an E for Chemistry, I managed to get a C at the end of the year. It's not impossible, you just need some belief in yourself. :)

[7]

if you think year 10's bad, wait till year 11 and college

[O]

Not going college, im living with you ;).

[7]

Not going college, im living with you ;).

inoino, but im saying its more than year 10!

[John!]

I personally am finding year 10 quite easy, apart from English.

You should try different revision techniques to help yourself.

Like I personally revise with loud music on but that doesn't work for me so just try lots of different things and see what's right for you.

We couldn't take ICT in our school. :( My favourite subject from all the years before, :(

[Hayd93]

The Media Studies qualifacations will not get you the job, let alone be considered important by the employers.

what the hell? So if you want a job in tv/radio or something like that media is really pointless aint it :rolleyes:.Ye history will help you alot more if you want a job in media wont it.:rolleyes:

[Pyroka]

College is a *****. =P I got predicted good grades, but I fell slack on some but I still got what I needed to get into College. GCSE's are just your keys to what you really need in life: A-Levels & Degrees.

About all thjis media by the way, my uncle sent me a large document evaluating 2006 & 2007, which predicts what will happen in the market for 2008.

Changes in Vacancies:

Oil & Energy - up 57.1% - (highest perecentage)
Public sector - up 17.4%
law - up 1.2%
Media - down 23.1%
armed forces - down 29.2%

Total job apps by finalists (graduates) in 2006-7

Media - 13.4% (highest percentage)
Teaching - 12.7%
IT - 4.4%
Property - 2.6%

Elements very important to first employers

Gaining a profesional qual - 32% (highest percentage)
responsibility for managing other people - 19%

That was a shortend version, but you get the drift. Media is highly competitive with hardly any jobs going. Figure it out.

[Frodo13.]

It is soft otherwise Uni's wouldn't ban it.

Who says he is going to Uni?

[Bibliophobia]

i love it :)

im in classes where people are interested

the work is more challenging

the teachers are nice

and im doing good :)

[Frodo13.]

I didn't perticually enjoy my GCSE years, to many people still fooling around. Prefer Sixth Form a hell of a lot more.

[Fart]

Year 10 was good compaired to yr 11 , im in yr 11 now and it goes so fast and
theres stupid fools in most of my classes who mess around and stop me from learning because teachers always given them a row!, yr 11 flys by and so does yr 10 make the most of it i would while you can!

[Jarkie]

Trust me! when you go into year 11 it is GREAT! there is so much things to do in year 11 and it's really fun!

And yes, year 11 does fly by!
