FIRM CHOICE
This should be the one you want to go to, but…
You must consider the likelihood of achieving the entry requirements.
![Page 7: Whitley Bay High School Year 13 Firm and Insurance Choices Wednesday 6th February 2013.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/55166aa75503469d698b5538/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
INSURANCE CHOICE
This should be a university you want to go to, but is your second choice. However:
- You must be happy to go there.- It should be a significantly lower offer than your Firm Choice- It should be definitely achievable

REFLECTION…
Think very carefully about your Firm and Insurance decision
Your Insurance offer should guarantee you are placed after your results.
Make sure you are not in the position missing out on both your choices.
Do not rush this decision – if in doubt talk to us.
GOOD LUCK

Module Results – Things to consider
How many marks are you from your target grade?
Re-sits aren’t always the answer. Too many will negatively impact your remaining modules.
You may almost be guaranteed the grades you need – is the next grade boundary up still in sight?
What do you need to do now?
You all will have an individual plan of action – have you got yours? Has it been checked?
