@Stariana:
(At Kuminator: I've never heard year 10/11/the GCSE years called Fourth Form. 'Spose it makes sense considering I'm in sixth though. Maybe it's a three counties thing. :P. Algebra isn't too evil until you start talking about polynomials–then it gets nastier because you've got terms in three different brackets that need to have something done to them. Sin, cos and tan were sort of where I blanched at the end of GCSE, though SOHCAHTOA saved my ass during it. Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse, Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse, Tan = Opposite/Adjacent etc. Stupid triangles.)
Oh yeah, that Sin Cos Tan, thing, Our Teacher showed us that a while back but told us it wouldn't be on our year test so he'd teach us it in more detail after the exams. And the SOHCAHTOA Thing - he taught us a rhyme which I can't at this point remember LOL !
Also the 4th Form thing - Yeah over in NI, we sorta just call our years :
1st Form
2nd Form
3rd Form
4th Form
5th Form
Lower 6th
Upper 6th
E.G., 'Second Years' - Second Form, for us, no big official legal name change or anything, it was just always sorta what we called the years & it didn't really seem out of place to us, probably 'cause we were so used to it.
Though sometimes, in the more formal scenarios or events our
staff would refer to us by the "Year 11" Kind of thing.
Although It could be because the School I got to is a Grammar School,
(Unless of course, your's is too)
That might possibly have something to do with it … Urrgh It's awful, they're so incredibly formal when they're based in the City Centre XD
