hmm

No he cannot Scroggs, because it is absolute waffle.


When selecting your A level subjects you have to ask yourself:-

1) Even though I may have an A (for example) in the subject at GCSE, am i good enough to get a respectable grade at A level?

2) Do I enjoy the subject enough? will I feel like I want to attend the lessons and do well? Or will I miss lessons all over the place because i can't stand the subject?

It is all well and good people saying ' Oh yes A level Mathematics and Physics are the subjects to take if you want to go commencial '. But i have known a number of students who just cannot grasp the subject at Advanced level - good GCSE grades do not mean that you will get good A level grades, even if the effort is present!


As for studying A levels part time as well keeping hold of a 40hr/wk job, you aren't serious?!?!
