How to pick a high school for A Level Education
It is no secret that the school you decide to go to has a major impact on your performance. Some schools were once great now just dead heroes while others are uprising stars.
However unlike choosing a primary or secondary school when it comes to A Level there are very specific requirements for certain combinations and even getting enrolled. Top schools like St Faith's have minimum requirements as their demand is also higher.
When picking a school for Advanced level education make sure your wallet and O'Level results are and narrow down a list 3 to 5 schools you would prefer which are within your financial, regional and extra-curricular performance preferences.
After having your top 3 choices proceed with them on the EMAP portal (an enrollment platform published by the Ministry of Education)
