Chapter 158 Course Selection
When Zhang Wei told Namier about this, Namier couldn't stop laughing:
"Hahahaha, Art went there to replace Samuel. Samuel had other things to do. Originally, it wasn't him, but Oroi was supposed to replace Samuel. But this guy heard that they were playing against the women's team, so he volunteered to go!"
"It's okay, he can walk. It's just that he was so embarrassed that he didn't dare go to the cafeteria to eat. We brought it back for him."
When Zhang Wei mentioned apologizing to him, Namier said:
"No need. This guy just thinks he's unlucky and doesn't blame you. Besides, it's his own poor skills. Don't worry about it. But I will convey your apology."
Although they did not win the game, Dalal was still satisfied with the result. Zhang Wei repeatedly emphasized that she accidentally hit the ball on Art's foot, which turned into Zhang Wei breaking the boy's leg again.
Zhang Wei seriously suspected that Dalal wanted to take revenge because she dislocated her arm but was told that it was her who broke her arm.
So this time Zhang Wei is happy to have a new achievement, but after this competition, Zhang Wei will put cricket aside for the time being. She needs to make some choices about her subjects and prepare for GCSE course selection.
In fact, the school itself issued an announcement about course selection in February, but the time span was quite long, so everyone was not in a hurry because the final submission was not required until May.
So during this period, Professor Cruz analyzed everyone's course selection strategies one by one. This is why he often took up everyone's time and everyone had no choice but to accept it.
GCSE is the general secondary school graduation examination in the UK, and its minimum standard is to choose at least five courses to study.
But if you only choose five courses, it means you will not be able to go to high school and can only go to a technical school.
Of course, it doesn't mean the more courses you choose, the better. It still depends on the final exam results. The grades are graded, with the highest being A*, the lowest being G, and the passing grade being C.
If all your subjects are A or A*, and as long as your two years of high school are not too bad, then prestigious universities will open their doors to you.
Of course, if you have fewer subjects to choose from, you can spend more time and energy, so is it okay to have more than five subjects?
Actually, it is not. For half of the students, as long as they can study eight courses, there will be universities that will accept them based on their grades. However, German’s requirement for all students is: they must choose at least ten courses, and most students choose twelve courses.
If you choose twelve subjects, as long as you have no failing subjects, you can go to most schools, but the top schools still require A or above. Grade A means the accuracy rate is 80%, and grade A* means the accuracy rate reaches 90%.
Zhang Wei didn't find this level conversion particularly difficult to achieve. It might be a bit difficult to get all the subjects above 90 points, but if he tried hard to get 80 points, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Professor Cruz also suggested that they choose basic courses to continue their studies. In this case, Zhang Wei's wish to get rid of physics would probably be a bit difficult to achieve.
So she had to work hard to complete her twelve courses, and try not to fall behind in physics, after all, she didn't particularly like it.
The status of English, English literature and mathematics in the UK is as solid as that of Chinese and mathematics in China, so these three subjects are unshakable.
Fortunately, Zhang Wei has continued to spend time on this over the years and has conquered English literature, a subject that is difficult for most non-native students.
Just like when she learned Chinese before, she had a good foundation, so she didn’t need to spend any extra energy to learn the knowledge later.
Biology, chemistry and physics are three major science categories. If you want to engage in research-related studies in the future, you must choose from them.
If you are not very good at this and are worried about affecting your university major, you can choose basic science, which is a course that includes the basic knowledge of physics, chemistry, and biology. It is much simpler than individual courses, but you only have to take two courses in the midterm, which is considered cost-effective.
However, if someone like Zhang Wei wants to engage in life science research in the future, it is best not to choose this course, because the chance of being admitted to a good school is smaller. So even though Alia's performance in two of the three subjects was not outstanding, she still gritted her teeth and chose the specialized course.
Only one compulsory language course is required, so Zhang Wei decided to choose Spanish, which he is best at, and put languages like Latin and Greek aside.
In fact, Zhang Wei could have taken a chance and chosen Chinese, then getting an A* would have been easy.
However, she still felt that the learning process was more important than the result, and what she learned could always be used. She didn't want to waste two years on a skill she had already acquired, so she gave up choosing Chinese.
Including geography, history, and physical education from the previous three years, she now had ten subjects. Finally, when Namiel heard about her current planned subjects while chatting with her, he looked at her with a strange expression:
"Do you really love studying so much? Why didn't you choose an art-related subject? Don't you like anything related to art?"
Zhang Wei then realized that everyone has art classes. If she doesn't choose it, doesn't it mean that this is her weak point?
And as Namier said, she really needed some relaxing courses, and finally she chose music. After all, her flute playing was pretty good.
As for the most popular art and art appreciation, sorry, she has no talent in this area.
She added another course, computer science, which she was somewhat interested in. She thought it shouldn't be too difficult, and her course selection was basically finalized at this point.
There are twelve subjects in total: English, English literature, mathematics, biology, chemistry, Spanish, history, geography, physical education, computer science and music, as well as physics...
She ultimately couldn't escape the spell of physics, but she felt that Latin was more mechanical and boring, so thinking this way, physics wasn't so annoying.
Perhaps another big reason is that Zhang Wei doesn't really want to give up on the physics course.
She had given up once in her previous life, so could she not do it now? She finally asked herself, and decided not to run away and chose physics.
Namier was different from her. He tried to choose courses that did not take up too much time, and he only chose 10 courses, four of which were sports and arts, so he decided to pursue a career in sports.
Moreover, as long as the grades in these subjects are good, as long as the major is related, you can be admitted. You don’t have to study art or sports only. This is the most suitable choice for Namier and many other students.
