TiredOfThis Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 On 19/09/2023 at 19:21, Pixiewoo said: When DD was looking at Uni courses, none of her vocational exam (dance/ drama/ music) UCAS points counted for anything! ( and she has several hundreds! ) My DC found this too. It was because dance was not in any way relevant to the courses they were looking at (sciences) unfortunately. DC still dances but has given up on dance exams (for now). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m so surprised to hear this as feel there should be consistency! My daughter’s degree (LLB) is totally unrelated also - how annoying for your dd! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ok, my DC has taken the dance exams off of their schedule and actually goes to classes for respite from their busy studying now. Still learning the syllabus but one less thing to stress about. It’s working out better, interestingly - DC feels dance is so much easier to ‘get’ without the pressure. And comes home happier too whenever they’ve had a class. It would have been nice to be able to include all of those points accrued over the years though. 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 My dd couldn’t use the points she had accrued from her drama exams for a drama degree either! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HgateMum Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Moorland offer A levels. My DD has an offer there - we're currently weighing options up! She loves the school but I suspect won't manage more than 2 A levels alongside the training... Edited April 4 by HgateMum Adding info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
