Thread for S5 pupils.Hey guys,
Thought I'd make a thread for all of us going into fifth year after the summer, just to discuss how our Highers and stuff is going, and anything regarding preparing for going to uni, ie. work experience, ECs, etc. Basically just a thread to chat about how S5 is going, cos lets face it, this year is pretty damn important!
2014 uni entry FTW!

Just started back today, was quite a change from getting up at 12. Not really doing much at school yet as lots of classes are being changed but generally I am looking forward to doing subjects which I mostly enjoy

Re: Thread for S5 pupils.No, I'm at a state school as well. Our school terms are odd, it really just depends on the region you live in.(Original post by SneakyDoug)

Re: Thread for S5 pupils.Hiii everyone
I'm doing Higher Chemistry, Biology, Geography, English and Int 2 Maths this year
Our school term started this Thursday, and I'm already loving it
Does any of you have NAB's coming soon? My first NAB (Maths I think) is at the beginning of October. -

Re: Thread for S5 pupils.Ah, 5th year, how I miss thee.
Anybody needing help with maths I can definitely do, physics and chemistry likely can help, biology and english I can probably advise, but remember very little these days.
And good luck all! -

Re: Thread for S5 pupils.Hey, well anyway I went back to school on Wednesday and we had a new timetable, I wanna get into Oxford or Cambridge for a Uni (i know im aiming high), I picked Modern Studies, History, Maths, English, Chemistry as highers
I also had a question, I did an A level fairly recently and I was curious to see whether that counts are Advanced Higher level or not.
