Wow, that's really good, if you do all six and get a high grade in the majority of them then you will really make yourself a strong candidate for the very top universities. A mate of mine did six in total too and now he's at Oxford, or at least he was, I think he may even have finished now.

Yeah indeed, most places don't acknowledge General Studies as a full A level, and ones that do you should probably steer clear of (IMO anyway), but it doesn't hurt to have it, and tbh, after you do the AS level you could turn up and sit the A2 exam and get an A without having learnt anything about it (which is what I did, haha).

But yeah, take your time and enjoy it, I remember my 6th form days very fondly, and though I wouldn't go back even if I could, I think in some ways it was a lot more fun than uni.

Haha, yeah, as good as the social scene maybe in certain places, you seem to have the right idea in putting that behind the actually getting of the degree, which is the more important issue, or at least it would be for me anyway.. On a serious note though, if you get the chance to do general studies I would do it imo, I know most places don't consider it as such, but it's pretty much an extra A grade for free, and it will set you apart from someone who doesn't have it. Also if you can hack it, then don't drop a subject after you do your AS levels, I kept going with all 4 of mine and general studies and felt I could have done more, though obviously how much is right for each person will vary a lot.

Don't suppose you go to Truro College do you? I'm guessing not as you said "6th form", but just thought I'd ask, I have a few friends who go/went there, though they mainly live in the Penzance area.

Oh, and yes, I do plan on travelling out there after I have finished my degree, forgot to answer your initial question there lol.

Oh, and as for Japanese, it's just a part of the world I've been fascinated by since I was quite young. I just enjoy everything about the culture and the mystique of the place, and I'd love to experience something dramatically different from the UK, should be interesting times ahead..

Yeah defo worth a visit if nothing else, a degree from Cambridge would be an amazing thing to have, esspecially one in Law! But yeah, I'm sure you'll soon start getting talks etc.. on which universities you would like to and be given all the prospectuses and all that stuff, which is good, just take your time to look over all of them and see which ones you like the look of best.

I'm not sure what York's law department is like, but it's certainly a well regarded Uni, and a nice town as well, not an easy journey from Cornwall mind you, but that's hardly the crux of the matter! And yeah, you have a good spread of A Level Subjects, all of which are well respected by the Universities, so if you get the grades you want then you can pretty much dictate where you end up!

Cont....

apparently about three times as much certain other subjects require (or so i'm told), but if you are the kind of person who does a lot of essay based subjects like History, English etc... and are quite good at them, I wouldn't have thought you'd have too much trouble doing it, certainly if you already have an interest in the subject. The hardest thing is actually getting the grades to get into the uni you want to, if you can do that then you're away.

Which Universities are you looking at?

I'm just about to embark on my second year, am learning Japanese this year as well so balancing the two will be interesting I'm sure.

The degree is great though, I've really enjoyed it so far. Unfortunately all of my subjects this year are meant to be the really tedious ones that everyone hates, so I'm not much looking forward to those. But in the third year I get to pick whichever subjects I like, and there are some really interestings ones like Medical Law, Environmental Law and Human Rights Law which I'm really looking forward to doing. Though I'm sure which subjects you get to do will vary from university to university. It's not the easiest subject, and does require a fair bit of work,

Hey dude, no problem, seen you posting around the place, making some good points.

I don't have a degree as yet, but am currently reading for one. I study at Reading Univsersity, are you thinking of doing law yourself?

Free for friendlies now - I quit my cup I was in.

I'm in a cup on BT, so maybe soon.

FTP, I'm free, but I'm trying to organize one with someone else.

Fine to add me if you want but you won't get any replies as MSN is inaccessible from the school intranet which is what I am restricted to atm having moved house. Feel free to drop me an email - neil dot pickup at dragonschool dot org - with anything.

Yeah, agree with the Corrin. In fact better than plenty of an older age as well. Good to see Cribb has "lent" us someone decent from CricSim.

well stick around, you're better than a lot of the other dross we get around your age

It depends on whats easier for you, its your battle after all.

haha, i'm sure there will be no concerns from the mods! :-D

haha i just realised that it was me who warned you lmao
