Maths 4
English 2
Physics 6
French 3
Art 1
CDT 2
Geography 2
Biology 2
I think the Scottish marking system might be different, as we get Standard Grades and Higher, while England gets GSCEs and something else doesn't it?

I agree.

It does look better on your CV though so its pretty useful. Then again I was going to go to the third worst school in Scotland instead of the third best if I hadn't got in to private school.

I think the main thing that makes my school better than some is that it has much more extra-cirricular activities and much better equipment for it than most schools.
My school used to be a horrible place about 6 years ago and then a new headteacher came along and the whole school has been refurbished and the uniform made smarter. It has two specialist subjects, languages and sport. Great staff who want everyone to do well. I did my GCSE German two years early and came out with a 'C'. I'm now doing AS german and i'm only in year 10. It just proves how good some state schools are. This year there's a brand new 6th Form which is the size of a large primary school and the school have installed over 100 new computers, every room also has an interactive whiteboard in it to make the lessons better.
Wow, pretty impressive.

How many years into High School is Year 10?

I'm in 3rd Year, meaning I've been a high school for 3 years.

Well High school starts at Year 7 and goes through to Year 11. I started High School last year in Year 9 before the school system changed to primary and secondary in my area.

That is really confusing!

The English should learn from the Scot's schooling system. For example why do they call private schools public schools? Wheres the logic?

Hah, full marks on my Maths NAB. So much for "You'll fail Maths."


I'm really happy! Especially as Aberdeen are through to the group stages of the UEFA Cup, it's just been a really great period of time I guess.

Is yours a solo piece? I could never do that, lmao.
Argh, I know! I have a small monologue half way through, and just the thought of messing up is scary.

Is it true you need to have a full conversation in French for the GCSE?

Mine was a similar story. We went through loads of different head teachers in the first 2 or 3 years until one managed to turn it around, and the lowest people came out with were D's and E's whereas a few years before that was the highest grade people were coming out with.

Private schools are no better IMO. I was going to go to one but the only differences were the people and attitudes towards learning, and I don't have a particularly positive attitude so I wouldn't have fit in I went to a state school which had quite a bad reputation at first, but after leaving it was a completely different school and is now a specialist college in ICT and Maths. There, I met some of the best people I could ever ask to meet and came out with decent grades.

2 years on, even though it was the biggest shithole, I still miss it

I leave in 44 or something.
I can't wait.
My school sucks.
It's improving, but I'm glad to leave.

We don't get study leave and have to attend lessons straight after exams, so I'm dreading that.
I'm just mehh with school.
Just want my GCSEs and out.
It's weird to think I'm leaving.
I'm at the stage in my life that both my sisters and dad have been through, but I'm going to come out with more GCSEs than nearly all of them combined =\
