Secondary schools only care abt ppl getting 4s and 5s so that the pass rate looks good for them which is why they try to keep ppl on foundation but if u keep asking them they will eventually move u up since it is actually meant to be ur decision alsoo science is really easy to get moved up to higher just make sure u get a 5 in ur mocks I recommend doing past papers they are soooo helpful

hi!
loreto student here doing fm maths and physics 🙂 loreto advise you very very strongly until half term (now!) to do 3 subjects, but you can do 4 and drop one during it to see, they say unless you're getting A* in all its better to keep 3.
What are you looking to do? Doing the 3 sciences isn't advised really. 2 is enough e.g medicine its bio chem maths/engineering chem physics maths. I would say if you enjoy maths and get what you need for the course go for it! I'm enjoying it and it's a versatile alevel.
I'd say work hard especially in your mocks. Do alot of past paper questions and even then keep your options open. I didn't know what I was going to do until novemeber/December perhaps and I still changed on enrollment.


I want to do chemistry biology maths but I’m in foundation for them and now I’m in year 11

I knew some people who moved to higher from foundation science in my old school, talk with your head of years/teachers but they may not let you if you aren't getting 5s. Science you need a 6 and maths is at a 7. sometimes they're a little lenient if your other grades related are better.


Thanks

Loreto and xavierian are overrated(coming from a non-loreto non-xaverian student)

cl if you’re on foundation for all the subjects you wanna do in loreto, realistically you’re not gonna get in unless you change what course/s you wanna do
