Our school follows the Cambridge curriculum so I had to take IGCSEs in the 2013 and I will be taking A levels over the course of this year and the beginning of next year:
IGCSE:
7 A* (Math, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, French 2L, Information Technology, Geography)
1 A (First Language English)
A Level Subjects:
Mathematics (expected A)
Physics (expected A)
Geography(expected A)
Economics (expected A)
Further Mathematics (expecting A/A*)
AS Level English Language (expected a)
I’m in the top 10% of my class in pretty much every subject, when it comes to Internal examinations
SAT 1: 2040
SAT 2: Taking Math 2 and Physics in June (should get 800 in both)
I’m also considering taking the ACTs because I know that my SAT score isn’t good enough. I’ve practised and I should be able to manage a 33 or more.

I have also taught myself a fair deal of programming in computer science but that gives me no credit
I’m in the process of creating a website, a platform for which I can share ideas and express my rather revolutionary ideas to the world. It’s got a long way to go but I want to make it big. I’m also getting some work experience this summer at a manufacturing plant. I’m also getting 60 hours of community service done over the next month.
I’m still drafting my essays.
I’m not particularly proud of my extra-curricular work and SAT 1 but please chance me. Where can I get in?
