AS/A-Levels

Probably Highers are the Scottish equivalent. I took English, Maths, Physics, History, and Geography.

You can take Philosophy at school?!

Philosphy is pretty new at our school though, apparently its only been done for 2 years as an A-level...

That reminds me, I gotta do a 6th AS/A-Level too... Critical Thinking....*groan*

Don't you have to take English? At my school that was the only subject we had to do if we were doing Highers.

That's weird, maybe schools in England and Scotland are different...

GAH! Talking bout languages just reminded me of another AS I am taking... Chinese...

That brings my total to 7...

A-Levels...I assume that's basically another word for that one can select ones own subjects in secondary school, or whatever one call this level of education. I study chemistry, physics, maths and geoscience. In addition to that, Norwegian, phys ed, modern history and religion and ethics are obligatory the last year.

Nah, that must be wrong. I don't know exactly what an A-level is. Phys ed is once a week; religion 1.5 lessons a week. Physics 2.5 lessons a week etc. Perhaps the systems are radically different; I really got no clue.
