even if u don't wanna go to your schools sixth form apply for it anyway just in case because you'll most likely get in unless you flop REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLLLY BAD

i asked for a 1-1 interview so hopefully i get that soon to talk to a careers officer
Fair enough, that's crazy! I guess it's because at A-Level they can only teach you so much, which results in a lot of topics being condensed to the point of inaccuracy resulting in confusion for those students who learned the wrong things. It's easier to work with a blank canvas.Quote:

College was 100% different and I really regretted not going to college first. At the time, the local college to me had a bit of a bad name which made me plump for 6th formt, it was the worst mistake of my life.
college is definitely better because i didn't like school much and sixth form is basically just like it really
i'm at college and my boyfriend and a couple of my friends go to sixth form and they all hate it and they tell me about it, it is much stricter and literally set out like a school day and stuff
college treats you more like an adult imo
What would you like to go into?Quote:

Well I am enjoying it so far I got into a college and another sixth form but I just turned them down bc I think it's better to stay with teachers who know u as a learner. However I do sometimes wish I went somewhere else as I had to compromise on my option choices but luckily they don't impact my uni choice at all. On the results side of things, ccc had a 100% a level pass rate so that's really good! I just think it has a bad rep tbh
i thought theyd just take an easy option and stay on at same school for sixth form but i was reading through the diff courses and a lot of them to take you need a B or above in the subject or 5 C-A*s for certain ones or like history and things like its a lot harder to choose the courses prob for the people who do muck about considering in mocks they always seem to get Ds/Es
i then asked the person who stayed on again
(p.s if you havent realised ccc is my school lmao abrev for it)Quote:
i'm glad to have helped btw, ccc are getting really strict on applicants so don't worry about people maybe mucking about bc ccc turned away kids in my year cause they were little ***** XD everyone is pretty serious during lesson, it's frees that are for fun
idk anyway like idek what id want to do
if i was following my schools set of courses the ones id narrow done to are like
biology
psychology
being my main two because i feel like id actually be able to understand them lol like my main worry bout courses are i dont think ill understand many of them??
im fine at gcse level and can understand and stuff n get good grades in mocks and whatev
but i feel if i go any further ill be completely lost lol but then after that would be
maths
physics
chemistry
art
then possibly english lit
but english is like my hell and i think id hate it so much lol
and i have no clue whatsoever with what i want to do after lmao theyre more based on ability than whati need at uni or whatever
but i dont even think im smart enough to get into uni lmao let alone whatev so am just doubtful rly
whoops prob not doing it right lol
but ohwell am sure ill figure it out soon
will prob see what my school says because surely they wont be making such a small deal out of it in a weeks time idk
if they do then ill just plan a one to one with the careers advisor and see what she says about it all
a-levels are a jump up but i found it was just a lot more work, wasn't necessarily hard
