    AH: maths,graphics and chemistry
    Higher: english and human biology(crashing)

    Kind of wanted to do AH physics, but I know that it would be too much work for me

    Good luck with trying to teach yourself applied maths, I tried it from getting a really good A at higher with very little success (bailed about half way through the course). It's definitely the sort of subject that needs teached!

    I talked to the head of maths at my school yesterday and he says he'll take me for 3 periods a week, so not self-taught anymore

    Will you do statistics or mechanics ?



    Next year I'm doing AH Maths, AH Chemistry, AH biology and crashing higher physics
    Well, if I get all the results I want, which I won't have because I've failed Maths

    I am planning to do:

    AH Maths
    H Admin
    Crash H Human Bio

    And want to do a social subject because i havent got one, but i don't know which i should take. These are my choices:

    H History
    H Modies
    H RMPS

    I did History in SG but hated it so i don't think i should take it unless its necessary. The other two i have not done before. SLightly swaying towards Modies becuase i want to do business at uni so that would maybe be closer.Thinking of RMPS, people have said its interesting but heard that the other two have better rep, so which should i go for?

    I'm doing Modies next year, but only because I like the modies teachers and hate the History ones. I'd do the one you think is most interesting. Look at the courses.

    Going back to school, and being told what is included in the RMPS course, i am very keen on doing it now! It seems interesting and unique, learn about the big bang and Buddhist views and stuff like that. I think i have made up my mind. Besides, can i really stand a year of British History and boring old politics? After going back to school, i think my answer is no.

    Thanks anyway !

    I probably would've taken RMPS had it been in the same column as The other Social Sciences xD
