AS/A-Levels

[shlin28]

For AS/A-Levels we have to do 5 lessons for each subject everyweek, and then there is a ridiculusly long time which I can't remember where we have to study by ourselves

On the bright side, I finally get to drop the dreaded Physical Education after nearly 5 years of torture

I got told 25 hours private study per week at Highers, what a lie.

If its your big year (or 2 for A-levels?), then they just like to hype it up, reality is its tough but not ridiculous.

Hmm, I have 22.5 (the 0.5 stems from the fact that we operate with two timetables; in one week there's no subject that lesson; the next one there is one) lessons each week, and each lesson lasts 70 minutes. Every Friday, it's subject day, which means that one have one subject the entire day. Which subject that is, can be found by counting on the timetable. If it's subject day 17 and one have no subject in lesson 17, then it's the entire day off.

I finished almost exactly a year a go. Scary thought. Good luck with the rest of your schooling.

But I don't know... physics and maths just doesn't seem to fit in there, any advice(s)?

Maths is a good choice, since it helps your brain work rationally and logically. But! I wouldn't worry too much about whether your school subjects will help you in your chosen field of Uni study and later career. Since at Uni they assume you know nothing, or near nothing, anyway. Your much better picking subjects you enjoy, because if you enjoy the subject your more likely to do well at it.

Are you serious? Haha. The day before my Chemistry Final I was playing Oblivion. Got 80 something for it.

My final year at High School I did: Modern History, Maths, Adv English, Software, Chemistry. In the preliminary year I did Extension History and German too.
