Martin B Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Done. I've just filled in my application form for the local Grammar school. It was extremly nervewracking filling in a real form like that for the first time. I found it really difficult at first to find 4 subjects that I could do, in the end I had to choose out of 7! I'll hand the application form in tomorrow at my school and they send it down for us as one package. I've decided to go for. (In preference order) 1) Business Studies 2) Psychology 3) Economics 4) English Language 5) Russian R.E and Biology narrowly missed out. The first 4 are all A2 and I will most probably drop one at the end of year 12. Russian is a GCSE and a bit on the side. I get 2 hours worth of lessons per week where with the other subjects I get 4. I'm genuinely looking forward to results day and hopefully enrolling at AGS. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Well done Martin!! It is a nerve racking time, but you will do well! Good choices and its nice to have a subject that you will enjoy and be less pressure. (not sure if Russian will count though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Good luck Martin, & well done for filling in the form yourself. Every male should learn to form fill, rather than relying on their other halfs Have you studied Psychology before? My daughter is in year 10 & is doing it as a GSCE option - she is really loving it Its the first time her school have taught it, & as its an extra it means an after school lesson for 2 hours once a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Can you take English Language as an 'A' level? Do you have any other 6th form options if you don't get a place? In Surrey we can apply for places everywhere and get accepted on them, but don't actually have to choose where to go until September.

Popcorn Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 A good variety of choices there Martin, leaves you lots of scope for when you fill in your UCAS form, which will be a doddle I loved English Lang at school. I did an art degree in the end, but it was a close call between that and English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Good luck Martin My son's in year 11 too, and we've heard very recently that he's probably got a place for next year as well, at a school which he really likes the look of. So he's pretty excited too . It's an exciting time for you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
