Noted there are some threads going on A level choices, but what about the sixth form itself?
Finding all seem to have compulsory extras - either a 5th AS, extended project, World Challenge. How important are these when making a choice? Are any thought more of by Universities?
DD is at a school with a sixth from, an averagish comp which she quite likes. Has 2 definite AS choices (Music & Maths), but havng difficulties chosing 3rd and 4th (probably between French, Physics & RS) that don't clash. Her school also insist on the extended project, but she is weak at essay writing.
Little choice locally, one school she is keen on insist on RS as 5th AS. but although not selective, very academic school that seems to take mostly straight A*/A external students with loads of extra curricular stuff. DD is OK for the extra CA, but more an A/B student.
So need more options, but not sure how far she could realistically travel daily.
