I need help!
So I go to a grammar school in belfast, it's a pretty good school , but I want to leave. This school really stresses me out, I'm not sure why but I know its not school in general. Its an all girl school by the way.
My sister and my best friend go to a school called bra( belfast royal academy) I want to go there.
It's a mixed school, I've been around it several times and I love the look of it!
Every time I think of going there , I get really excited!
Lots of people want to go there in different years, I have to do several interviews and a maths , english and possibly french and science test and I'm not sure how many people will show up.
These tests are in June!
Ive had tips on the interview, but I need more tips.
I made I big mistake...
I hate my school and I got my hopes up, now I know if I fail, ill be crushed.
This would give my future so many opportunities!
Please help me, what should I do?
Do you think there will be french and science?
P.s. I'm going into third year.
Please help me.

This is a world wide site. There's really no way to know what will be on the test. I would suggest contacting the school and asking what specific subjects you should study for the test. While you're on the phone with them, express your interest in the school (without sounding desperate) and how much you would like to attend.
In the meantime, study your heart out. Learn everything that could possibly be on the test. This is a huge commitment, but if you want it badly enough, that's what it will take.
Good luck.

Whenever you have an interview at a school, a job, anything, always say positive things, and never say negative things. So don't say that you hate your school. You will be asked why you want to go to BRA, so have all your reasons clear in your mind. It's OK to start with the fact that your sister goes there, but I wouldn't mention friends. Then say you like all the good things she says about it, and what you have seen when visiting. Have at least 2 'things' you saw that you liked. I'm sure there will be French and science. The world is all about math and sciences now and will only get more so. That doesn't mean you can't have a career in something like early childhood teaching or social work, but even there, you will be taking math and science.

What should I do?
I hate my school.
I might be moving if I get in.
But... Ive got 21 demerits and my dads doing a meeting with my head of year.
Last year I got 18 and he was so mad.
He is going to kill me!
What should I do?

What are the demerits for? Is it behavior or schoolwork?

Is there something you can do to change that? Is there extra credit work you can do to lower the demerits?

I think you are setting yourself up for a fall with all these demerits.
You are obsessed with the other school and it gives you all sorts of excuses for failing where you are. I don't think you are going to be accepted, and need to buckle down and get to work if you want to be prepared for the next possible time to try.
