Well I'm doing DiDA as the SPB clearly marks it as DiDA and it's two GCSEs :S

The Years 9s now do it for 4 GCSEs

They mark it as DiDA, but if you are doing 2 SPB's, its then classed as CiDA.

The only reason so many schools do it is so the pupils can get the equivalent to '4 GCSEs' in a short amount of time and increase the % that get 5 A*-Cs. (which increases the school's position on the leage tables)

It is worthless, the university I am considering applying to said it is, and my college didn't even bother entering it when I said i passed it.

Universities do class it as 4 GCSE's e.g. Manchester, York, Edinburgh. I emailed them last month and they do recognise it as 4.

In my eyes and everyone in the school's eyes, it's DiDA

but oh well either way it's still the same

But when you apply to universities, you have to enter it as CiDA

They might recognise it as 4 GCSEs but it doesn't count for much.

That is true.

We did it in year 9, ours included making a eportfolio for a healthy eating thing called 5 a day, we had to make loads of crap stuff like database, and a gantt chart?

We did DiDa for the 5 a day fruity friends thing - it's so annoying.
But I got a C (highest you could get) - so was all good.

Now we're doing OCR...

I've done it. Was really boring and a lot of time spent reviewing with only a few marks for the actual quality of work. More marks for saying WHY you made it blue than actually making the presentation or whatever.
