Then how do you expect to get a decent job? Or does that not worry you either? Perhaps you'd prefer the taxi or the corner shop... or even a waiter at the local restaurant.

A waiter needs to write orders down, no education means you could end up illiterate so thats that job out of the window. Taxi driver is a really stressfull job, yeah at first its all fun and games but it has no real career prospects and 12 hour shifts dont seem to make you happy.

Well sounds like he has ALL that to look forward to.

best of luck.

comon its not lyk am THAT stupid

Well with no qualifications dont expect miracles.

[quote="Irfan.Khan"]Okay let me rephrase the question what is the triple award? do you get three awards for what?[/quote]

what you on about i said triple award dont exist and you said it does so why you asking me?

So how come my gcse option says triple science?

How am i suppose to know?

On the aqa website which YOU told me to have a look at there is no mention of triple award science.

Just give me time

I know im right because i just do i will get some physical evidence from my teacher.

ok lil funzi you take all the time you need il be waitin lol.

What do you call it when you get one award for science?

either 21st century science or applied science

Wouldnt that be classed as singular?

ok let me break this down for you lil funzi

21st century/applied science = 1 GCSE grade

double award science = 2 identical GCSE grades

single award science = 3 GCSE grades, 1 in bio, 1 in chem, 1 in physics.

the latter is more risky coz if you are weak in one of those areas then it will be reflected in your grade. The other two all the marks are added up and averaged.

I understand the process the aqa award works like this:
normal science students get a double award: C1A, c1b c3 additional science

Triple science or single science:
C1a c1b C2additional C3 futher sciences

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo rrrrry
i get it nw

ITS LIES I TELLZ YA MAK DoNT LISTEN TO HER!!

lol
am sure shez right tho
singular award for each topic so its triple award
bt then y do they call it triple n not singular?
i thought singular is when you only get 1 GCSE grade for it

What's in a name? That which we call a GCSE
By any other name would smell as sweet.

Back when I was doing GCSE's triple award was:

[quote]3 GCSE grades, 1 in bio, 1 in chem, 1 in physics.[/quote]
If Naz is right, then they've just changed the name 'triple' to 'single'.

:?
what do they stand for/mean?

Thats the thing they havent.

Different exam boards have different exams.

The options are

1. single award - all three sciences in one for one GCSE - least amount of work.
2. Dual award - the more common - the sciences are worth two GCSE's.
3. You get three GCSE's. You do three subjects for one set of three GCSE's - triple award, or each science separately - three sets of single.

I may be wrong, but I am getting bored of reading people going round in circles on this.

I was thinking the same thing.

But I was waiting for an authoritative figure (You) to say something first.

I know i am right.

[quote]In the United Kingdom, Triple Award Science, unlike Single Award Science and Double Award Science, is not combined GCSE study of science - rather, the term is a short-hand reference to individual GCSE subjects in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.[/quote]

Thank you!

he made that up
