choosing Advanced Highers for sixth year…

Hey! I’m in 5th year going into 6th year (in scotland) and I’m torn between a few different advanced highers for next year. I’m definitely set on doing Art AH and English AH, however I also want to try Maths AH as I am predicted an A in higher maths and it’s one of the subjects that I understand the most. AH Drama is also another option, and if anyone has any advice on how many or which ones I should take I would appreciate it

If you want to try direct 2nd year entry or for some English universities, take 3 AH.

Math seems more practical as an AH, although the bottom line is get the best grade.

Hey @Josie__B Do you know what you'd like to study at university yet? Which qualifications are you sitting this year at Higher?

If you have a University that you're aiming on working towards just now then check their entry requirements for your chosen subject to see what they require. Or if you're not sure just pick a few at random to give yourself a rough idea. If you are considering some English universities then they may ask for more at AH level, whereas if you're looking at Scottish universities they're not always required. Each applicant is unique so which ones are best suited to you will depend on what your goals are in and after S6

Wishing you tons of luck with your ongoing Higher exams just now!! Hope they're going well
