My chemistry teacher from last year was not quite good, his two class had a lower average by 10% compared to others. Parents and students complained but nothing happened. And before our exam we had little practical experience in the lab too. So I did most of the learning all by myself and even bought equipments and chemicals and practiced my paper 3 (practical) at home. So amongst our school this year our chemistry grades were lower than before… Would admissions look at the applicant's school’s over-all performance? Or should I include this in my application too? I’m not sure if this is self-taught or not.

With the change in the syllabus this year, my score of 88 is the highest in my school already. So again would admissions look at the applicant's school’s over-all performance? I’m concerned because I want to apply for biology and the UMS isn’t strong.

Lastly, for the NSAA, your reply was REALLY helpful, but I want still want to ask, will different subject combinations in the 2 sections be looked at differently? Or would admissions just add up the scales for sections no matter what combination an applicant choose?
