Hi, Im in year 11 as of April 2017. I plan to take Maths, Physics, Economics and possibly Further Maths at St. Dominic's Sixth Form College. I have a conditional offer, in which I must meet the requirement of a 6.5 GPA. I was not however, invited to the admissions seminar, so anyone applying next year shouldn't worry if they don't either. For September 2017 applicants, If you didn't receive an offer by now, you admission has been rejected. Your final opportunity to secure a place at St. Dominic's Sixth Form College is to call up on GCSE results day, and inquire about available placements. I have a few questions however,
1) St. Dominic's claims to be the second best college in the UK, right after Cambridge Hills Road Sixth Form, but they're website is one of the only sources to confirm this. Can anyone else confirm this?
2) How many free periods are there at at St. Dominic's Sixth Form College weekly, - given the courses stated above. (Maths, Physics, Economics and Further Maths). I would believe that students with different course-loads have different numbers of free periods.
3) To achieve top grades, A*/A, how much time do students study on average? Are free periods usually used up to waste time, or spent almost entirely on increasing productivity?
