Is anyone part of Aspire?

[Yayse]

I recently got accepted to "gifted and talented youth" part of The University of Warwick, it's also called Aspire.. well Aspire is part of it i think "/

I was just wondering if anyone else here is part of the group?

[Steph]

no :( but they are some people in my skool who are, and Aim Higher. The Gifted and Talented went on a trip today I think lol oh the gin and tonic group as sir would say

[Yayse]

lol ok thanks :)

at least you reply!!! hmmph.. dont think i cant see those views going up :(

[lauralol]

oooh I think thats what I got but Im not doing it. Year 9 and there's like a maths one, science one, english one and pe one?

[Yayse]

yeppers :D its if u got a certain result in your CATs tests thingies :s

[lauralol]

oo yar im in that but im not gunna do it :p
and CATs tests? :l

[Yayse]

yeah CAT or CATS or CATs... they're something to do with cat anyway :p

[lauralol]

wth are cats tests :s I've never heard of them before..

[Yayse]

u do them at the beginning of year nine.... well my school did anyway "/ then again my school is rather lame. they're like little boxes that u cross and stuff, theres english and maths methinks

[Steph]

no its when u start year 7. yeah it tests you on like you general knowledge altogether because you tick stuff like on one it has a jigsaw piece and u gotta tick the correct picture on what it will look like if you rotate a certain way and stuff, but they get harder and you have such little time. thats the only example i can think of.
You don't get your CAT results back, it's for teachers use only

[Yayse]

yeah u get cat tests in yr7 but i had them again in year 9 and thats what they judged the gifted and talented youth thing on

We call them Yelis tests I think.

I'm in Aspire, forced mainly. Yes it will be good on my CV, but I doubt I'd attend any of the classes.

Year 10, if your wondering.
