Was wondering whether most schools use a "box" system where students can only choose one subject from 3/4 boxes when applying for A Level (we had the same system at GCSE)?
I find it a disadvantage for students who are taking less popular subjects (in terms of numbers) ie. Music, Art, Tec & Design because they're in the same box as other 'big' subjects you might want to do.
I find myself unable to choose Maths, Physics, Technology & Chemistry. I want (need) to study Maths and Physics (with Engineering in mind) & I enjoy Technology but am not able to do Chemistry with this combination. There's no room for negotiation, at my school anyway, which sucks.
I think i'm settling with Computing instead which isn't so bad - though ironically I couldn't do ICT at GCSE because I did both Add. Maths and Technology.
Was wondering if anyone else had/is having any similar problems?
