    Sixth Form

    Report bad ads?

    I'm applying for sixth form this month and I am really confused. I prayed the istikhara and two weeks later I had a strong feeling regarding which sixth form I wanted to go to. Three weeks later, I had a dream that about this sixth form that I wanted to go to, I dreamed that this sixth form ruined my life because I ended up getting really bad grades. So now Im really confused I really want to go this sixth form but after having that dream Im actually scared that my dream might come true.
    My Islamic teacher told me that the dream was form the Satan and that I should ignore it and go for the sixth form that I really wanted to go ti.
    The main reason why I am confused is because majority of my dream come true so im scared that this one might come true as well
    What do you think I should do?

    If I was in your place, I would ignore the dream and go – if the school is good. Just my opinion. Allah knows best.

    Re: Sixth Form

    Where else would you go besides sixth form? If you drop out of school at the age of 16 you will not get very far in life

    Now that you fear getting bad grades, this is all the more reason to work harder - possibly a sign from Allah

    A-levels is a alot harder than GCSE's so be prepared

    Trust me, it is not that great.

    @ Lalia

    You can study A Levels by yourself as a private candidate. Consider this option if you can study by yourself.

    You needs books, the syllabus, exam papers + answers and access to a library. Though you have to pay for your exam fees.

    I'm studying a course by myself and it's not that bad. I can get a lot of work done.

    Re: Sixth Form

    It depends how self-motivated you are and how good the 6th form is. Having teachers is certainly much better IMO and getting into a good 6th form would be very beneficial. What do you want to be though?

    The sixth form is really good, and it is really hard to get in there, my form tutor I could easily get in there with my grades. My parents always wanted me to get into that sixth form but since I had that dream I keep telling them I don't want to go there any more, of course I cant tell them reason coz they are going to think im acting stupid. The sixth form does the courses I want and need for uni. In the the future I either want to be a dentist or a chemist.
    And about the motivation thing, I cant really judge myself now can I, but my teachers do tell me they I don't need motivation from anyone coz I motivate myself
    My only prob is coz of dat dream, tell u da truth I think Im taking this dream a bit too serious

    Re: Sixth Form

    May I be rude enough to ask you what your grades were? Just curious I'm in year 12 myself. I'd definitely recommend going to a good 6th form, it would certainly improve your uni chances.

    I studied my AS levels which were Psychology, Statistics, Law and Business Studies. Passed all of them but not a very good combination of subjects. Statistics I found the most useful out of my combination.

    To get to a good university, it is best to choose traditional subjects: English, English lit, Maths, History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Foreign Languages, etc. However, you need to take interest in the subject too. Avoid Media Studies, Accounting and ICT. There may be interesting subjects but some snobbish universities frown upon them.

    Let me warn you, even if you get good GCSE grades, good A levels, attend a good University and achieve a 2:1 degree, getting a job is going to be difficult.

    I have 1 year experience as a Paralegal and 4 months work experience at a Human Resources Department and even I'm having difficulty getting a job...there are people who have substantial amount of experience and qualifications but having a tough time finding a job. So try to gain as much work experience as you can and aim to distinguish yourself from other candidates by volunteering on a regular basis.

    EDIT:

    Don't worry about the dream. Dreams are not intertwined with reality so you shouldn't worry about it.
    May Allah SWT grant you good grades to get into the sixth form i'A

    I like Maths! But, main reason for taking it is to improve my chances of getting into one of the top unis.

    I never studied Maths AS but I noticed that AS statistics is more difficult that A2 statistics when I looked at the A2 textbooks. The basics are more difficult to understand at AS but A2, you simply build your knowledge. The same might occur with Maths.

    If you can cope with AS Maths, then continue with it on the second year. It is a very useful A level.
