    Home now.

    Our school got an extension so there's no rooms, new system of 6 1hour classes instead of 9 40minute so a lot to get used too.

    Was grand though, first day over ;)

    Guess it just depends on the subject/teachers? I'd wait till you go in, they'll probably tell you then.

    Personally I prefer the A4 copies because you can have more information on the sheet. They're also harder to get damaged than regular copies and would be better for long-term use.

    I'm not sure there's a country wide rule or whatever but in my school you can move up and down a level in a subject pretty much whenever you feel fit.

    HL Maths is a very very hard course so I'd personally recommend she only do it if she really feels she's capable.

    Best of luck to her!

    We used to have a red week and blue week where our subjects would alternate, we'd have doubles of certain classes and even triple PE in TY.

    All that's gone now and every subject has 1hour with no roatating timetable.

    For the likes of Maths I'm dreading it but for German, I can't wait!

    Nice to be back I s'pose.

    It actually wasn't once ye knew what week it was.

    First week is red, second is blue and it alternated.

    That's the way it's been for years and for 4 years I've been in secondary school so it's gonna take a bit to adjust.

    It depends whether the school will allow her or not. My friend got an A in OL JC but failed the 5th Year Summer Exam. Our teacher described the LC HL course as three steps up from JC HL, so it would be 4 steps up from what she sat. Why does she want to do HL Maths? The bonus points incentive or has she realised she now wants to study a course in college that requires a HL matriculation? I don't want to put anyone off but it will be a tough course and she'd have to work consistently throughout the year. I did at least 1.5 + hours of Maths a night throughout the year yet only managed a B3 in my Summer Exam.

    But she has nothing to lose if she goes into the HL class. If she finds it too difficult she can always drop to the OL class! :D

    I literally hate PE so much. I've been hating on the doubles we get every year (except in TY we had two single classes :eek: )! Couldn't imagine a triple PE!

    When we were choosing whether to do HL or OL maths for the leaving, the head maths teacher in our school recommended us only do HL maths for Lc if we got an A in HL maths for the JC!
    Maybe she was just trying to scare us but HL LC is a lot harder than OL JC.

    I do remember seeing a post from someone on boards though who did what your daughter wants to do (because he decided he wanted to be an engineer) he worked like 2 hours every night at maths and ended up being top of the class :)

    She might as well give it a go if she really wants for a while, she can always drop down again. It wouldn't be worth it though if she was struggling and risked failing it in the LC and wouldn't be able to get her college course.

    Good luck to her anyway :D
