6th Form!

[Immenseman]

Yay got a letter accepting me into my schools 6th form today. I made a total mess of the application though and because I thought we picked lessons again I put things down that I don't really want to do but now i've been placed onto their courses and I don't want to do them :(! Like Human Biology, ew.

[lAscend]

Wheyyyy well done jake i don't know if i got accepted at mine or not but everyone who got through i think went to the taster so i guess i got in :P:P lol

[Supersam]

Heres hoping its not a pile of <use imagination here> like my 6th form is.

Glad theres only a year left of it.

[Inseriousity.]

I got the acceptance letter in January. :D My interview was hilarious though because I nearly fell off my chair and said 'oh s***' because it was basic reflex... but I managed to get in :P

[Supersam]

I feel old now.

I didnt really have an interview. I just went in said "hi" then said what I wanted to do and left.

Then I came in september and started.

[Redacted]

Good luck, hope you enjoy the course :P

And the subject's you didnt pick :P

[Bevvie]

Well done love.
:D
I hate interviews i had two. Applied for two sixthforms and got through for both. Just worried now that i won't get the grades.
Ew Induction day soon.

Its college basically but i don't know what the differernces

it might be the courses like english, business, leasuire studies ect. for 6th form

whilst college is more like building, mechanics, hairdressing ect.

im not sure though

[Immenseman]

I'll sum my 6th form up, we don't have interviews. Providing you can get 5 c's or above then you're in and if I don't get that then christ I should be shot.

lol my 6th form has the best solution if i don't get 5 c's i have to stay on an extra year but the first yet ill have to take a BTEC course which is a equivilent to 5 c's :P:P

[Tristan]

You chose lessons that you don't want to do...? Lol...
Human Biology is good!!!!!!!!!!!
i wna do that. :cry:

[:Edzy]

Phone your SFC and ask to change, mine lets you.

[Hazza]

My school (luckily) doesn't have a 6th form (even if it did I wouldn't go to it, i hate my school!) we have 2 local colleges which are pretty neat (one of them is our 'feeder' college, meaning they have to take you on whatever your grades are!) so I'm hoping to get my course in one of them.

But nevertheless, Well done Jakey!:)

[kk.]

you would normally expect to find mroe vocational subjects at college and people take less subjects on at college too. (i dont want to make it sound like sixth form is for cleverer people (it is but it sint :P)

lol same tbh

my biology Spec B is good (well i find it interesting, mainly genes and genetic engineering). be careful though because the courses you may want to do could be full up soon

[Immenseman]

Well I was glad I got on the psychology and sociology courses even if people do say they're boring. I found out you pick again once you get your results anyway.

[benn!]

i didn't get in!!! well i gotta have an interview to discuss why i got 5 concerns, dammmmmmmm lol

i applied for double business, ict, and physics.

but i'm going to college anyway, sixth form is a backup - if i don't get my C in english (slim chance lol), i won't get into college, so i'll go sixth form and resit it.

[Supersam]

6th forms are usually on the same campus and use the same facilities as a secondary school.

Which means that often the only new subjects from GCSE they do are things like Pschology or Economics etc.

Nothing fancy like Media Studies or Photography.

that's crap? colleges do a level courses aswell as btecs, first diplomas and national diploma

i'm going to college to do a national diploma in business, specialising in marketing and maybe taking a level law on the side.

Ok well ill rephrase...

If you go to a naff 6th form like mine... you will only get the choice of basic subjects like English, Maths, Science, Languages, Humanities (e.g. History), Technologies (e.g. ICT), Drama, Art or Music.

Oh and we get Business Studies, Economics or Pschology as the different ones.

My 6th form has a very broad range of options really. I was thinking about changing Human Biology to English Language or Literature, hmm. Would that be too much work?

[Supersam]

No its easy.

My friend changed hers to English Lit.

She just went in with me (I was picking them first time as I was on holiday when we were meant to choose) and said:

"Ohi I like English Lit more than Textiles"
"Kden"

That was it really....

believe me, my friends have had bad experiences with human biology, it's one of 'those' subjects that everybody fails.

[Immenseman]

Yeah, i've heard it's very hard and not even worth it, I don't really want to take it anymore so i'm just hoping i'll be able to change when we get our grades in August.
