The teacher started the lesson with, 'If you were a car, which car would you be?'
I turned to the lass next to me and went, 'I'd be a Merc, 'cause I'm smooth to riiiide...' - she burst out laughing, and the teacher asked me to share.
Fair to say I made something else up! That Busman1 is a bad influence!

After that, we discussed our upcoming trip to London.

Aston Martin all the way!

The teacher went, "So you do your work really fast?"

He went, "Erm, yeah..that."


May as well ask the same question to all of you (hopefully taken a bit more seriously than what the lads did in my year group)...
If you were a car, what car would you be? Give your accompanying reasons why.

Have you got curves in all the right places, just like the car?

Sounds daft I know.

It just depends on you, really. How many subjects are you allowed to take in total?

Compulsory subjects in my school were as follows:
- English Language
- English Literature
- Maths
- 2x Sciences (Biology/Chemistry/Physics)
- 1x Language (French/German)

The other four subjects were our choice. For my language, I chose French. I also chose all three sciences (eating up one of my choices), and in addition to that, I chose Business Studies, ICT and Media Studies.

Business Studies is heavily based around case studies. In an AQA GCSE paper, there are three or four questions in total. The case study is like a little story about a business and the owner(s) of the business being unable to make up their mind. There are one or two parts to the question which are short answers which you've just got to know, and one question which is about 15 marks and it's essay-based. Basically giving the pros and cons of both things (which you'd learn in your Business Studies lessons), and then choosing which one you think would be the best one to go for and why. Bit of maths in there, too, and I always thought these questions were a gift at GCSE.

My school does GCSE ICT with Edexcel, on the basis that it's a lot easier to teach. I got full marks in the exam paper and my coursework was almost full marks too. Minus one or two candidates out of about 15 who took it in my year group, we all got A*s and As.
