well we dont have middle school and high school its all one thing called Secondary school we start there at 11 and finish at 16. We're at school from September to July, we graduate when we're in year 11 in my school its about June when you graduate so its the end of the year after all your exams. We don't really have any requirements... and its free unless you go to a private school which is normally expensive. We also have to wear uniforms too. And when we finish secondary school we go to either College or "Sixth form" until we're 18 when we go to University. Before Secondary school we go to Primary school which is from when you're 4-11. Before that we have Nursery which is for 3-4 year olds. Also we have year groups it goes Nursery Reception Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Secondary School: Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 Year 10 Year 11 (In year 10 & 11 we have major exams called GCSEs) College or Sixth form the first year we do AS levels then the second year we do A-levels University: Where we study for a degree. You can go back to university though to do Masters e.t.c Hope this has helped :)

your grammar is a bit off. i don't understand what the heck you're talking about.
2 :
If you live there, you can either walk, bike, or take a car. If you don't, you can take a boat or a plane.
3 :
If your talking about physically getting there I would suggest a plane, car, bike, train etc. If you mean how do I get into a ballet school in the UK, then hard work, especially if you want a scholarship. You have to be extremely good to be accepted anywhere in Europe, their ballet training is generally much more serious then it is in the U.S. If you've got money then just pay your way in, but you still may not be accepted, most schools are by audition only.

Are these A Level choices good enough for medical school in the UK

Are these A Level choices good enough for medical school in the UK?
Chemistry. Biology. English Language. Physcology. I know medical schools are extremley competitive. Even though some they say maths is not required should I take maths instead of physcology to improve my chances? My only worry is that I'm not good enough and I don't enjoy the subject but if it would greatly improve my chances getting into med school then I will endure it. Also I'm at a grammar school so would that mean there's an advantage?

Heyy yeahh i'm trying for medicine. I'm doing chemistry, maths, geography and biology. The best place to look for what universities want is on the ucas website, and you can look up specific courses and what they want. Your combination sounds fine, there are a couple of girls applying for medicine without maths, and i don't think its affecting their application. Oh and yeahh i think being at a grammar school will help you, some unis are slightly biased against private schools because they have "better teaching so its easier to get the grades" which quite frankly isnt always the case! Anyway good luck! ps If you can, i'd go on a thing called Medlink, its a 4 day medicine course in lower 6th which gives you a real taster of what med school will be like :) www.ucas.ac.uk = ucas website www.medlink-uk.com = medlink
