•Unit-based study with internal assessment (NABs)

•Final Exam_____________________

• No Final exam – all internal assessment

Role of parent / carer

• What does your son/daughter enjoy?• What is he/she good at…

– In school?– Out of school?

• What is he/she best suited to?• Does he/she have any post-school ideas?• Encourage him/her to find out about

courses, jobs and qualifications

Pitfalls to avoid..

Do not make a choice because...

• Your friend is taking it• You like (or don’t like) a certain teacher• You feel “pressured” to do it• The subject is “easy”

Remember : You will have to do the work yourself
