Set changes in science are to accommodate students who have opted to do extra science in option time. A drop in set number does not necessarily mean that a student is performing badly compared to last year – the “higher” set numbers are used for the triple classes and then the “lower” numbers for combined science and this year more students than in previous years have opted for triple science.
