Yeah completely right btec course in UK on IT, it's not that it's hard like I can do all the work, it's just written work has to be so specific.
Yeah the work is easy, but it does involve you doing a lot of writing. What is your course specifically? Sadly my course was very broad. It came under "Extended Diploma Level 3 IT and Business Studies", which isn't what I wanted at all. But it did involve some units I enjoyed such as programming, web development, analog vs digital. I am now doing Computer Security in university. Do you think you'll end up going to university?
Yeah my course is very broad aswell I would of preferred doing a more specific course for like Web development. But you don't get what you want unless you do well in exams I guess. Also I doubt I would want to go to university. I still am not sure what I want to do next year to be honest.

Yeah it seems lots of the IT courses are much more broad than advertised. If you are not sure about university, I would suggest having a gap year. Either use that gap year to work, learn more or lounge around and think. When you finish college you technically start you life. It can be quite daunting if you are not prepared.

That like the only reason I prefer A level over btec is that there's like no coursework or anything, you just do an exam paper and that's it
I guess everyone has different skills. I personally am not a large fan of exams. Although I will do them if necessary, which is it currently is in university. I had three this year just gone so it was not that bad. I had much more coursework than I did exams, which honestly did surprise me.
