Choosing A-Levels in general Reviews

The biggest advice I could ever give out when choosing A-levels is Research, Research, Research! I can't count how many times that one of my friends picked out certain set of subjects to study for A-level only to be told by the university that their subjects are not accepted for the course they wanted to do. This is especially important for people ...

In my opinion one should choose the A-levels they most enjoy and not for the following reason: - Because they are good at it - Because their friends are doing it - Because they like the teacher - Because you need it to get into university This is due to the fact when you enjoy something you are more curious ...

Now I am the first to admit that I made the wrong choices when it came to my A levels and although they have worked out ok for me and I have done quite well with what I chose, if I could go back and choose them all over again and if I had actually listened to what people had told me then I may have chosen the right subjects to ...

Well, it's August again, and I'll soon be in school with my pupils as they get their GCSE and A level results - almost as nervous as them, sometimes, I can assure you of that! And, they only have to do it a couple of times - I'm stuck in this never ending Groundhog Day loop of results days every year! Anyway, with that in mind, I thought a ...

~Introduction~ I am now in the second year (Year 13) of studying my A-levels and only have a few months study remaining. The four subjects that I chose to study were: Business Studies, Physical Education, Geography and General Studies. They have so far proved to be pretty justified choices, but making those initial ...

Choosing A Levels can be a bit daunting, if you go to a further education college there is often a much a wider range of subjects available than you will have been used to at school. So how do you choose what subject to take. The subjects that you have previously studied at GCSE level (National Curriculum subjects) will obviously be ...

I am currently choosing my as options for next year, (yes yes i know i only have a week to go) and it is a highly difficult and painful task. At this level, I know that not choosing a subject means never studying a subject again. I'm 16- how can I make that sort of choice?? Many say that it's great giving up so many subjects at ...

Now i know that most people here will be wanting to choose A Levels and not sure what to do. My opinion is given the choice (in other words if the school/college teach this) i would do the International Baccalaureate Diploma any time. Most of you will be thinking-what?! I started my A levels when i lived in Italy and was at an English ...

For most students, A-levels choices will be the hardest decisions they will ever have to make in their academic career simply because it sets the path for the rest of their academic career or even life if they choose to leave school. After GCSE, A-levels will give students their first real choice of subjects and inevitably career, the decisions ...

I like many other teens today decided to stay on at school to do A levels, with the plan of going to uni and get a doodie job out of it in the end, one year earlier and this would have been a great idea one year later the same but no I had to be one of those lucky lucky people (feel the sarcasm!!) who ended up being a guinea pig for curiculum 2000 ...

I am a student in my second year of A-levels, so here I'm going to write about the courses that I have taken, and hopefully advise the year 11 students in which subjects would be best suited to them. I wasn?t given a huge amount of advice on what the actual courses would be about when I started, but I hope this will be of use to someone! At my ...

A couple of years ago, in the summer of 2000, I experienced one of the best days of my life. The clock looked at me with a sympathetic nod and chimed 1pm, and putting my pen down I realised that I had finally finished Physics paper 2, and more importantly GCSEs in general. Leaving the exam room, I let forth a tremendous bellow of joy, allowed ...

The international baccalaureate, or IB, is a policy which is now being intorduced to slect schools and sixth form colleges across the UK. The system, which lets you take up to 8 subjects at any one time, has been successful in Europe for many years now. So what's so good about it?... Well, the IB lets you take a wide range of ...

aka How To Get Good Grades With A Minimum Of Work. I am lazy. However, I don't think I'm exactly the stupidest person in the world either, I just do things in my own unique way, and that's exactly how I passed secondary school, and came out of it with grades BBC - in Media, General Studies and Sociology respectively. ...

I have just one main piece of advice for those of you currently thinking about your A' Levels. Find uni prospecti (yes, I know it seems like ages away now to be looking at these things - but trust me it'll come around quicker than you realise and you'll need to have done this) and look up any courses you think you may be ...

At the time I did my GCSE's, I wondered whether I should be doing them or not. I mean, they put a lot of pressure on people aged 15/16 these days and the competition between schools is pretty heated. I went to a private school (hey, no I ain't posh) and because there are many private schools in the area wanted to push their pupils harder ...

I have no idea why I am writing this. I suppose I'm a bit bored. I've got a couple of hours to fill, and I cannot be arsed to do anything useful. The chances are, this opinion will get about three reads and will earn me a grand total of 9p. If I'm lucky. The reason for this is quite simple really. The only people who would be ...

If your doing your GCSEs or have just finished them then you will probably be wanting to decide want you want to study at college or sixth form. You have a number of options available to you and I some experience in some of these areas as I am doing both AVCE and AS levels at college. I will assume that you have decided what subjects you want to ...

If there is one thing you can say about the education authority (that is, one thing that doesn't involve gratuitous use of colourful expletives), it is that they do not shy away from experimenting with exciting new directions in which to wrestle England's schooling system. Once upon a time, changes in the syllabus would have been an ...

A-Levels. The subjects of so many debates recentely. There's these awful AS things, which I happen to be in the middle of doing (god forbid). These are just an aggravation to your life because you have to do twice as many exams as if you just did a proper A-level. But, I've already documented their poor organisation and the lack ...
