Fill the gaps

In secondary schools in England, students have to1- study 10 different subjects until they are 16,and these must include English and maths.After that they specialise,and from age 16 to 18 they usually 2-study a maximum of four or five subjects.Sometimes timetabling problems in the school mean that not all the students are able to 3- do the course of their choice.In their final year they 4-take the final school exam,which are known as A-levels.

If students want to 5- take a particular subject at university,they must normally have 6-passed the same subject,or a related one, at A-level.It's very difficult to go to university unless you have 7-passed your A-level exams with good grades.However,it is always possible to 8-take the exam again to get a better grade.Although in the majority of courses,students 9 -pass just one exam at the end of the course,many new courses involve modules where the student 10-do smaller tests and builds up credits.These are people with students because they are less stressful.
