I had mine yesterday, I'm doing History, English Lit, Biology and Politics :biggrin:

Isn't critical thinking compulsory? What school are you from? I'm from de stafford :s-smilie:

They told me that critical thinking is only offered to students with a certain amount of As and A*s and i'm from reigate school but de stafford was ok wasn't it?

I'm going and doing English Lit & Lang, Photography, French, and Media. I had my interview today.

I don't think critical thinking is compulsory - I had a letter about it along with the Enhancement programme, and it was completely optional.

i just found it dull compared to science.

I didn't get asked about the programme :L i guess my gcse results weren't that great I got 1A* 6A's 1B and 3C's but I was pleased with them considering some of my teachers left a month before our exams because of the evil new head!
I would really like to do it though because I want to do law which is really competitive hmmmm
What did you get?

Perkele

wow that is still good especially because of the teachers and stuff.
I got 5A*s 3As and 3Bs I was quite surprised tbh but A levels matter a lot more than GCSEs anyway

Well done on your gcse's they're great! Yeah I'm defo going to work harder for my A-levels and actually do some homework for once :smile:

btw do you know any good revision books for biology? reigate does the salters nuffield course right?

Languages are sort of my favourite, so French will hopefully be quite enjoyable haha (even if it's a huge jump from GCSE). And I came from The Ashcombe, which is actually a language college anyway :P

I can't believe we start next friday :smile:

I have to get up ridiculously early to get there in time though :L
Loads of people are going from my school but hardly anyone is taking the same subjects, I'm probably going to be on my own in the form group :frown:

Yep, a week left of summer! I've had a lovely summer, and don't really want it to end. At the same time though, it's quite exciting to start subjects I want to do :smile:

No old english at Ashcombe - but they do offer Latin, which I took in year 8. Didn't stick at it for long though haha. I did half course German, Italian, and French for GCSE. Ashcombe also offers Spanish and Mandarin, but I didn't want to go too crazy :P (even though I know people who have done 5 - insane people!).
