Hey!
So I've been studying abroad at a Singaporean Curriculum school for the past 6 years, and I'm trying to move back tot the UK for 6th form. I completed my IGCSE's last year (Junior College 1) and got my results back recently (all A*-B).
I know nothing about the education system in the UK, but as far as I can tell from some quick Googling- you guys retake GCSE's in Lower 6th Form and take A and AS Levels in Upper 6th Form. In my school we study for IGCSE's in Secondary and take them in JC 1, and study for A and As Level's in JC 1 and the first half of JC 2 (we take the first set of exams in the first semester of JC2). We were given a maximum of 5 IGCSE subjects- 3 mandatory (English, ICT, Mandarin) and 2 of our choice. I had to argue like hell to get an extra science in (I chose Maths, Physics, Chemistry).
I'm interested in Law and Journalism, and have a list of subjects I would like to take- but I have no idea what I'll be doing exactly in 6th form. I've also got some questions about applying. Does your teacher tell you your predicted GCSE grade or??? I'm just lost tbh. Feel stupid emailing schools about this stuff, and my parents don't really want me to move abroad so they aren't really answering my questions.
