SQA Results Day 07/08/2012

Wow, and I thought my school was bad

Nah, my school only offered 3 AHsx

Leaving at the end of S5 well done . Personally I do find S6 boring but I guess it assures me I've got the grades I need.
I feel if I left in S5, I would be isolated from my peers as I would be 16 and couldn't go pub crawling

S6 on a Monday FML 6frees and only Adv Maths Last

If yous think that's bad, my school only offered 1, and that consisted of giving us a textbook and teaching ourselves from it, with the ability to ask a teacher to explain stuff we don't get now and again.



I never got this feeling. I thought 6th year was way better than 5th year.



A Wednesday for me was awful. I had no classes. Literally, I didn't have any classes on a Wednesday. Management still demanded I come in and burden someone's class, and study with noise all around me, as opposed to doing it quietly at home. Did my head in.

I love 6th year so far! I barely have any actual classes though (17/40 of my periods are taught) and I've been far too excited about applying for prefect/house captain and volunteering in classes

I have 18/35 worth of classes, still got to waste 3/35 on 2 re and 1 pe

Do you not get 'community time' in sixth year? We were allowed to leave during frees as long as we were doing something worthwhile. I sat in on GPs consultations for about eight hours a week

Wait, how long are your classes and how long are you in school for each day? ;o I only had 25 a week at my first school (1 period: 1 hour | In school: 9am-3pm ) and 30 a week at my second (1 period: 50-55mins | In school: 9am-3:30pm).

In college the classes lasted three hours. We'd have class once a week for Int 1/2 and twice a week for Highers. I preferred it to school timetables.

One class = 40 minutes, and we're in school from 8:40am-3:30pm I only get 5 periods a week of my AH as we don't have enough funding any more to get the full seven we need

Wish-wash. I did 3 AHs (with another Higher), Chemistry with 1 period a week (50 minutes), Biology with 2 (100 minutes), and Maths with 4 (200 minutes, even though we spent this time just working from a textbook, as mentioned above). You should count yourself lucky. 200 minutes a week in each AH for me would have been a godsend.

You've got more than enough time, pal. Self-study is nowhere near as hard as people like to make out.

Full seven? Is that what you're supposed to get? Always thought the 5 a week we had was the standard...

The very smartest person(s) always still getting the standard 3 AH A's and 1 Higher A in 6th year with that system at my school, so I'm sure you're fine with 5.

I can always apply again this year if I don't get the grades I need which is another bonus - it's like getting an extra chance to get in.

I do feel that I will be quite isolated, but I'm sure I'll find other people who are 17 and therefore unable to go out to clubs etc. as well. I hope

And it will give me more of a chance to keep on top of work I guess? (Let's all look on the bright side of life...)

S6 on a Monday FML 6frees and only Adv Maths Last but hopefully this will change. Prom as well everyone tries to out do everyone does my head in. At least I have double maths on a thursday my favourite time .My free's are sooooooo boring, I've played taptap4 every time or watched Big Bang Theory however they get exciting when someone asks me for help on a subject I enjoy - I love teaching

When I apply I'll be 17 until the end if January and never thought of that

Haha I'll be 17 until the end of May - not that much of a difference

if I get into uni next year I'll be 17 until the summer between first and second year..
