Advice for new Sixth Formers (Sept 2014)

Is History difficult ?
Does anyone have any tips for this subject ?

Hi there, not sure if people are still here to answer questions.

I'm currently doing Maths with Statistics, Computer Science, English Lit and Psychology for my AS levels. The only problem is, I had to swap one of my favourite subjects (Drama & Theatre Studies) to do this combination. I'm wondering now whether it was a good idea to swap out something I'm very passionate about, and whether I should see if I can take it as a fifth subject? I'm not very sociable anyway, so I'm not worried about the amount of work, and I know it's a very widespread combination - I enjoy all of them though.

Anyway, any help and advice is very much appreciated!

Interesting question, five subjects is not easy but possible and i have know people to do very well. It is an interesting combination so before I give you advice either way its worth asking how you did at GCSE in these subject areas and what to you want to do post sixth form.

Ok well what I would say is that the subjects you have chosen are all strong and drama does seem an odd choice since you want to study law/computing since both are highly competitive. The best advice I would give you is just do the four and leave drama, however I don't personally know you and if you do really want to do drama I would suggest you ak your teachers who can tell you weather they think you should do five, or talk to your drama teacher to see if you woul be suited to the A-level course.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I got accepted into Nonsuch sixth form (grammar school) last week. But I hate it: the teachers are really uncooperative and most of the girls hire tutors as they don't learn anything in class.
Also, we did vectors in first physics lesson, I had no clue what to do, but the teacher refused to help as I need to 'learn it myself'.

Is this the attitude everywhere?
