Harris Westminster Entrance Exams

My coursework is around a B, but that entirely thanks to the first part (A452). The second part involves python and that's just another language to me.

Lol, I find Theory harder than Coursework; my coursework got aced. How is your coursework?

Thanks, that makes me slightly more relieved. I'm assuming you scored quite highly to get in?

Hey, I got accepted to LAE too, it is really good there and closer to where I live although I'm choosing HWSF over LAE. However, what I am unsure about is NCS (Newham Collegiate Sicth Form) I got an acceptance letter on Friday, did you apply there by any chance? I really need advice concerning which i should choose lol!

What a coincidence! I've also applied to NCS and have got accepted! NCS doesn't come any close to LAE or HSWF, in terms of atmosphere, competency and teaching. It wouldn't challenge us as much as the other two would. So I say just come to HWSF! They don't need free iPads or £200 Amazon Vouchers to bribe us to come.

I cant really choose between my first choice and HWSF, both seem to be great. I just put that school as my first choice because its much harder to get into.

My predicted grades are:

English Lang: B-A
English Lit: A
Mathematics: A*
Further Maths: A*-A**
Biology: A-A*
Chemistry: B-A
Physics: A*
Economics: A-A*
Computing: A*
History: A-A*
Art and Design: A-A*

However my mock exams have proven that i need to do quite a bit of work to get those grades.

What predicted grades do the rest of you guys have? *curiously awaits response*

You guys are making my academic grades look silly now I think I'm probably going to look like a underachiever at hwsf Jesus

Thanks Lol, yes I think I will go to Harris ahaha. I was actually slightly enticed by the incentives that they are offering! But you have just reinforced what I thought all along, that HWSF is the best option out of the three!

I just can't wait to meet you and everyone else, like I said in another reply it is also just me and one other person from my school so I am very excited at the prospect of making new friends lool! :-)

Glad to have 'reinforced your thought'! Hehe can't wait to meet you and everyone too! And only my friend and I applied from my school too Slightly random but are you a Harry Potter Fan?

Though the question is not to me. Meh. I love Harry Potter, I read the books like 8 times. Potterhead forever.

Yayyyy! I have found a fellow Potterhead! I loooove Harry Potter too, read it more than 10 times ! What house do you consider yourself to be?

10 A*'s and 1 A I achieved 9 A*'s and 2 A's in my mocks so I'm hoping to get all A*'s by GCSE's. Although I doubt it considering I recently got a C in English Literature
Are you definitely going to go to HWSF?

Ravenclaw or Slytherin; I'm not exactly "Brave" or "Loyal"; I do what i need to do (that sounds so much worse in writing) :'( . What about you?

We seem to be quite similar! Slytherin or Ravenclaw for me too, I'm ambitious and value intelligence! My favourite character is Voldemort! He was shaped into the 'monster' that he was by his childhood in the orphanage, so he's only partially to blame... What about you?

Voldemort seemed like a great character and the idea of horcruxes really did bring out the evil from him; however, Severus Snape or Draco Malfoy were my favourite characters. Severus' eternal loyalty to Lily made me really feel sorry for him; especially when we find out that he saved Harry so many times. However I liked how Draco's character changed throughout the story; in the First book he is just a spoilt kid who merely get brainwashed by his parents; however he slowly became more aware to the truth and became more vulnerable; but then just got blackmailed. Both characters were not bad or they changed their ways; that's why I find them awesome! Voldemort just represents typical Humanities escape attempt from death; which has quite a historical reference; which I find cool as well though.
