Re: Foundation tier v Higher Tier Science
Unfortunately it looks like she will be sitting the the foundation tier for all three sciences unless she can suddenly get good at them. I have put a post in the 6th form group asking for advice.
Re: Foundation tier v Higher Tier Science
Did you say she is in year 10 Blue Marigold? If yes, then unless she is working in the range 1-2 it is early days for school to decide which paper she should be doing (higher or foundation). And even then..... She has lots of time to mature, work on her knowledge recall and practice questions so that she can get used to applying her knowledge. Most students, with hard work, can expect to go up grades between year 10 and 11. I have seen students suddenly get it/and/or apply themselves using effective revision who have gone up 2 grades from mocks to the real thing.
