    Re: 2012 Subject Choice Thread!
    I'm hopefully going off to University in September, but for my sixth year options I'm choosing..:

    Advanced Higher Geography
    Advanced Higher English
    Crash Higher Modern Studies
    Crash Higher Italian

    If anyone has any comments thatd be great(: I could so easily miss my conditions and end up feeling suicidal over these subjects for a year..

    I officially chose my subjects today
    Everything what I wanted. ESOL, Maths, Geography, Biology and Chemistry.
    I was gutted that I wasn't allowed to choose Higher Maths (I have to do Int 2.).
    But I'm still going to talk to my Maths teacher, and hopefully she can do something about it.

    As long as my results come out as expected, I'm looking at doing:

    Advanced Higher English
    Advanced Higher History
    Advanced Higher Latin or Crash Advanced Higher RMPS (relies on getting strong As in Higher History, English and Latin this year)

    Depending on the work load and university offers, I may slide in Higher Music or French somewhere in between!

    I wanted to do all three sciences at Higher but my school's timetable wouldn't allow it, slightly annoying..
    Is anyone else's school like that? They don't allow them to take three sciences? They are essentially limiting us..
    Anyway I'm doing:

    Higher Chemistry
    Higher English
    Higher History
    Higher Mathematics
    Higher Physics

    Intermediate 2 Biology which I have to teach myself, shouldn't be too difficult just pointless when I could have just done a Higher..

    Higher Technological Studies
    Higher Chemistry
    Higher Biology
    Higher English
    Intermediate 2 Maths

    Hopefully doing an Intermediate 2 course will shed some stress and workload off of the four highers I am doing.

    After changing my options 400 times I've finally handed in the form:

    AH French
    AH Computing
    AH English
    Then I'm teaching myself Spanish from scratch on the side but don't think I'll sit an exam

    If I really don't like AH English I'll probably swap and crash Higher RMPS D:

    Are you not wanting to do medicine?
    Seeing as you can only do two sciences in school would it not be more beneficial to do Higher Bio at school and do int 2 physics at home?
