what's the minimum subjects you can take in S6 Scotland...

Basically, ive had a pretty bad sixth year...

i started out with Advanced Biology, Advanced Chemistry and crash higher Physics....

But then i got quite ill, IBS and found it hard to cope with, started just staying at home, too sad to do ANY work.
anyway, at that point i dropped Advanced Chemistry and swapped it for open learning Psychology (Higher).

Anyway, im getting better, slowly, still not very motivated to do much work, (at the moment im just trying to get my diet and everything sorted, and stress makes it MUCH worse so try and avoid it) plus i have unconditionals to uni. i had a hellish 5th year...


ANYWAY, so, higher psychology. i havent done much, noone there to tell us what to do (and i admit, i dont really care enough to ask), and we are all a bit confused on the course. anyway, a few days ago we were told the NAB is tomorrow, and not even told what it was, and it turns out we have to do a Project, which is worth 20% (20 - 30 hours) and to pass we need to hand in our log and appendix; i havent done started! noone has! (SQA deadline = 22nd March)

I don't have time with my advanced biology project and psychology isn't anything i thought it would be (unit one was, the science side, but now its more ESSAYS ESSAYS and all that) more or less; i HATE it. and it isnt at all relevant to my next year.


is it acceptable to do only one advanced higher and one higher????




sorry for loooong post.

if you've got unconditionals then you can do none
in fact you could drop out of school tomorrow

At my school it's 4 :'( but most people take int1 spanish for the 4th then drop out.

want to do physics as a module next year, so kinda need to stick with it.

plus cant find a job, so cant leave...

Have you tried explaining your situation to your school and asking to only do 2 subjects?

I doubt think the school would kick you out if you failed a subject. And if you fail on NABs it doesn't show up on your certificate. It would be as if you never took it.

hmm.. nab tomorrow, havent opened te booklet, i doubt i will...
seems good to me...
plus i havent done the log book so would fail second part anyway....


and i really really dont want a fail on my certifocate...
