Just wondered what sets you lot were in, i wanna know if im not the just the only thicky round here lol:

year 7 - 1A (fluked entrance exam)
year 8 - 2B (moved down, woops)
year 9 - 3By
year 10 - 4s3 (moved down again lol)
year 11 - 5s3

now im in year 12 and we aint setted any more - but i managed to qualify to do A levles instead of those GNVQ things though so i suppose i wasnt that thick lol

We had set's for everything but a lot were just to tie in with other subjects. I think I was in set 2/3 for most things.

I was always in the highest, for some reason!

[guttridge]

i was in set 3 for most stuff bottam for matchs and re

[~Kizwiz~]

We didnt really have sets when I was at school.... except for maths which I was in the medium grade!

[Kore]

i was normally in set 2/3

[Siouxsie]

[bbslilspy]

[Legend]

Ares ws 4 sets with 1 being top n 4 bottom.

Up untill yr9 i was in -

Set 1 - eng
Set 4 - science lmao
and set 2 for EVERYTHING else

and now in yr 10 im in set 2 for eng n set 3 for everything else lol.

[BigSister]

Year seven- Top set english and maths at first, moved school and dropped to bottom set for maths.

Year eight-Top set english, bottom set maths.

Year nine- Top set english and science, bottom set maths.

Year ten- Dropped science, top set english and maths.

Year eleven- Same as ten.

Ah right, at my school we do things differently. For what I call first and second year *I think that's what you other people call 8th and 9th year* only Maths and English were set, then in third year *which I'm in, and I think is year 10* it's all set unless not enough people picked that subject, in which case there's only one class.

First Year, out of 3 sets: Set 2 for Maths, Set 1 for English.
Second Year, out of three sets: 2 for maths, 1 for english.
Third Year out of nine sets: 7 for maths, 2 for english.



Rather alarming drop there, going from set 2/3 to 7/9 in maths... But I really honestly think I'm too good for the group I'm in, but the teacher I had last year *whom I hate with a burning passion and vice versa, no holds barred and it's not hidden either...* is the set above, so I don't really want to move up... >_>

I mean everyone else in my class was getting 10/20 in the homework, I managed 17/20, and the previous homework I got 24/24 in! So I'm kinda P/O'd at my Maths teacher of last year, because he marked the tests, he hates me but knew he couldn't set me in the wrong set, but didn't want to teach me, so I get put in set 7... It makes sense to me!!!

Irish educational system is way different to what you have in the UK.

But I do higher level everything, which gets quite difficult at times, but I manage.

At present, for my Leaving Cert., which is the equivalent of your A-levels, I'm studying: Irish, English, Maths, French, Geography, Accounting and Physics, all at higher level.

[Nicola]

I was in the top set for just about everything. In Maths, I was moved about a bit between the top and second sets in Years 9 and 10, before being permanently in the top set.

Irish is compulsary too, Kore. Unless you're foreign and have an exemption that is.
