My teachers worked the year 12 timetable around my subjects last year.
Coz I had such a weird combination...

I got a phone call:
Them: "Do u really want 2 do blah blah over chemistry?"
Me: "Yes.    ...y... will that b a problem?"
Them: "No, we'll jst have 2 tell a couple of ppl that there's a timetable clash and they will have 2 pick another subject."

Me getting my subject combination meant a handful of others couldn't get theirs... I felt bad, but I really, really hate chemistry XD XD

niena18 is a bit harsh but right. dude it was dumb. the effort you're going through now to set up an interview or something could've gotten you 25 in methods. think of how mnay peopel struggle wiht methods just for their prereq? or chem? its a prereq. Did you ignore the fact that itwas a prereq?

if you put it like that then it make sense but how niena18 says it just annoys the hell out of me.

It's only those with high SSes that mention their scores. A high score is a high score - particularly in the correct subject field.

a 36 in further is not really that big an achievement, tbh. i dunno, most of it is year 8-9 maths so it doesn't prove much.
ENTER - 96.00

Lol, I'm like, the biggest dumbass in maths there is... Don't know how I got 30 and 26 in methods and spec? My only guess was the assessors were on drugs when they marked my paper?

But I reckon you should do the bridging course and get into what you want to do! All those points in the list PROVE that you deserve to do it!
