    Are internal marks affected by the school you go to?

    I think the internal system is full of rubbish, why should I be getting someone else's mark as 50% of my score if I didn't come first.

    Selective schools debate

    I'll give in my 2 cents as I've seen both sides of the spectrum. In 2015 I sat my selective test and all went well, I made it in but I didn't go, the school was 2 hours away and I just decided to go to my local school, I thought going to a decently ranked school wasn't so important and it...
