take one science sub

coz i have seen some unis

requiring math and one technical science

that science can be phy chem bio or CS itself

so take one science on top of ict and math

and you should be 100% fine

[shadow tree]

The UK requires 3 a levels

[near prairie]

Is Maths , IT, CS good ?

[red verge]

Fair enough seems good

[broken swallow]

FM math Phy

[umbral summit]

Further maths !

[umbral summit]

Hlw everyone

I am currently doing A2 and I was wondering about taking a year gap after A levels

Is there any consquences?

[slim berry]

1 year wasted of ur life only

[umbral summit]

Idt so, there are any serious consequences but you might wanna explain Ur gap year, how it helped u develop and all!!

[slow widget]

Alright thnx

[slow widget]

if you skipped a grade already and are ahead would taking a gap year be bad?

mostly to learn other skills that might help in uni applications

[bleak stirrup]

Hi i have a doubt.

What are the A level entry requirements to study accounting and finance in the UK ?

And is studying economics or business more important for my future in accounting and finance. Other maths and accounting. To be studying in the UK

Pls help

Im rly stuck and id love someome to help me through this

[shadow tree]

Not necessarily although it might help with thermodynamics

Hello! I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice regarding IGCSE exam. So originally, I decided on 7 subjects, but recently, my friend mentioned that some universities prefer if we have 9 subjects and that his brother regretted not taking more. But I think I already have enough and if I add, it'll be harder for me to manage. However is it better if I add more subjects?

[red verge]

Depends on the uni

Most need 5 technical subs

The technical subjects are you doing maths any of the sciences CS IT or anything else related to a particular field

And as a general rule language subs don’t count towards the 5 technical subs

So keep that in mind and you should be fine

[proper orbit]

I had only seven subjects in igcse as well and i didnt have any problem applying to any unis, the minimum is 5 so i think you should be fine
it would be better if you did well in 7 than adding more and stressing out on all of them

[red verge]

Agreed 👍

As I said You should have just 5 technical subs and you'll be fine

For the rest of the subjects you can take languages if you want to fill up the seven subjects if you really want to go my route.

UK unis application process closed! 😦

Can anyone kind of guide me on what to do now if I am looking for a foreign uni with bachelors in medicine within 3-4 years?

[echo hornet]

I heard that a lot of aerospace engineering jobs are taken by mechanical engineers

[echo hornet]

med requires more than 4 years anywhere Im pretty sure

choose a country u want to practice in after graduation

[shadow tree]

medicine is not a 3 year course, its 5 minimum

[noble apex]

Hi
I plan on going to medical school and i cant decide whther i should choose mechanics or statistics in A level

Which one should i choose

[umbral summit]

Go for stat for sure, it helps with the research and sara handling!

[little cosmos]

guys im thinking of giving A level Comp Sci and InformatioN Technoloy

but i can't give them both at the same time although i'd like to

so should i just take one over the other or give both, if it reflects wlel to do both i'd like to

[wind moth]

is there any reason why you want to give both of them?

bad idea IMO, I would take something else in IT's place

what career or industry do you intend to pursue?

[unreal canopy]

quite vague yk

@crude niche do mind maps , active recall and attend all your lessons and be on time

[mighty belfry]

Read How To be a high school superstar by cal Newport that book is a gem

[unreal canopy]

do some study techniques

might actually help

[dense lake]

answer to that is simple

[noble apex]

Wrong channel 💀

#as-biology

[twilit atlas]

OH HAHAHA SRY

[river jewel]

theres this pretty cool method i found

after taking down notes either by paper or a device you should read over them

and then get out a notebook

and just blurt out every single thing you remember or can recall while reading the notes

even if its incomplete sentences

and then you read the notes again to check what youve missed or did wrong

and then just revise

just chill at the library while doing it, setting the mood for motivation is also pretty important

i have this notebook called "the everything book" where i just use it for exercises, blurting for multiple subjects

its quite fun tbh

just listen to some jazz or even white noises xd

[warped cairn]

ooh interesting does it work whats your personal experience and gain from it ?

[river jewel]

Tbh i havent actually tried it for like super long but so far its actually working pretty well

I got a lot of stuff done in just 45 minutes

The first time i tried it i was actually surprise by how fast and easy it was to learn the reactivity series

I also went through lectures really quickly, on that day i was trying to learn the rusting of iron (galvanising, electroplating, stuff like that)

And when i just tried to write down whatever i can remember, then i checked my notes again

I got through lessons quite quickly

Dont be afraid to do external researches, it may help you understand the topic better BUT!

YOU GOTTA STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF

While writing down what u can remember, dont look back at the notes, it might defeat the purpose 😅

[calm socket]

[hallow mango]

does anyone know if i can retake my As levels after i take the A level exams?

like, can i take my A level exams in spring of 23 and As levels in winter of 23

[dense lake]

why

just take them both together in that case lol

[sinful forum]

Don’t think u can sit as individually after u have sat ur entire a levels

Well, it might be possible but I haven’t heard of ppl doing that

What r u tryna achieve anyway?

[echo hornet]

i tried doing that

didnt work

[hasty tartan]

take the exam together

[cursive flicker]

Hey I need some advices. I have done my AS in this summer series(2022).I scored a B grade in my Math. I wished to improve it so I did it again in the Nov series 2022 with two other A2 subjects. However, after I finished the paper which is just finished, I feel like I am not improving my math to A grade. I would like to take one more time in the upcoming summer series in 2023.Is it possible to resit my math in another centre without affecting my two another subjects' result.

Are there any major consequences of taking a gap year? like does it effect university application

[alpine fern]

guys is doing btec level 3 or foundation good instead of a levels?

[unreal canopy]

Why would you do BTEC

?

[alpine fern]

i have my reasons lol

at least

im considering

foundation course

and a levels with it

since i cant get the subject i want

[unreal canopy]

What do you want to do at university?

[alpine fern]

art related subject

or

smt like computer related

[unreal canopy]

You just need a portfolio of work

[alpine fern]

ik

[unreal canopy]

Doing Art A-levels will help

[alpine fern]

but i need

to do 3 a levels still

they dont offer arts here

and places who do offer in this country

are too expensive cant afford.

[unreal canopy]

I mean if you do BTEC your only limited to applying to UK universities

[alpine fern]

really

what about foundation course

and 2 a levels?

[gaunt quartz]

i have friends doing 2 alevels and a btec

it depends what u wanna go into,

medicine u need at least 3 alevel, a subject like engineering you can use a btec

[alpine fern]

what abt

arts

[gaunt quartz]

it depends on the uni and typa course

[buoyant garden]

Theres no point doing A levels if youre gonna do foundation

[unreal canopy]

Bad advice

[buoyant garden]

y

[unreal canopy]

Because you can’t do foundation year without A-levels

[buoyant garden]

u do a levels to get into uni, but u can already get into uni with foundation

wat

idk how its for u

But here u can do foundation after igcses

To skip a levels

[noble apex]

Yes you can do that but it’s really expensive 💀

[slow widget]

no advice for me 😔 💔

also is it considered a gap year if you're waiting for a2 results to send applications (around august 2023)

[gaunt quartz]

nah it depends on what u do during the gap year

if u don’t do anything at all then it would affect, but if u do stuff that helps ur application then it’s great

and it depends on what u put on ur personal statement ( i’m from the uk so i’m used to the uk rules) and the things u do :)

[timid parrot]

Has anyone done all 3 AS sciences- bio, chem, physics in the same year?

[shadow tree]

i did bio chem maths phys

[timid parrot]

Do u recommend doing it or is it too hard, I wanted to do English language, math, bio, Chem and phys

[shadow tree]

ive heard a level english is quite hard tbh

i was fine with the 3 sciences and maths but i also had good teachers and had at the very least a vague interest in all of them

would recommend deciding on med or no med

[timid parrot]

Hmm okay, I'm scared it will be too hard for me to cope with

I wanna do med

[shadow tree]

then you dont need physics

[timid parrot]

Yes but some Australian unis apparently require physics as well and Indian colleges require all three sci subjects

I might just have to take 5 as subjects and then I might drop English and do 4 a2

[shadow tree]

do as english in 12th i think

india needs you to have english all the way up to the end iirc

@small turtle would know

im not a fan of doing physics without maths but it might be easier to do that

and then learn the maths where necessary

[timid parrot]

Hmm okay, I'm so conflicted but if I don't do maths and I end up staying in Australia, they won't let Me do med,

Cuz idk I might stay in Australia or go back to India after year 12

[shadow tree]

what were your IG grades like if you dont mind me asking?

[timid parrot]

I didnt do ig, i did a board of my school thats mix of ig and the countrys study system, but I got A in eng, math and bio, b+ in phys and b in chem

[umbral summit]

I had the same subject combo, but including psychology as well!!

And honestly it wasn't that hard, if u stay on track from the first day, comparatively As physics is harder than A2 physics. So u might wanna work harder first year!!

For me personally math was a bit more hard, (maybe cause I bunked a lot of their classes- for legal reasons I didn't say that). It's easily doable cause chem and bio are mostly easy. But u gotta work on math and physics!!

[timid parrot]

Okayy this makes me feel better, I'll look further into it, thank u!

After completion of A2?

During vacations

[crisp sapphire]

Like when is the best time

[shadow tree]

It doesn't really matter, I'd recommend doing it early on in A2 so it's sorted for your applications

If you've done IG English, it's so so similar that it barely needs preparation

[wind moth]

keep in mind that your IELTS result expires after 2 years

[slim nimbus]

guys

whats the difference between software engineering and CSE

[umbral summit]

U mean computer science engineering??

[slim nimbus]

Yes

[umbral summit]

So basically Computer Science Engineering is a course that deals with the design, implementation, and management of information systems of both software & hardware processes. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems. Computer Science engineering aids with various disciplines such as electrical and electronics engineering, information technology, software engineering, and more.

And then software engineering deals with the software development and all!

[small turtle]

Yeah u just need to have it on ur certificate

For Indian unis the requirements are usually 5 subjects

In 12th

[slim nimbus]

so CSE is a more vast subject comparitively?

[umbral summit]

Basically yeah, ig!!

[icy talon]

Is there any difference if you give a levels as private candidate?

[slow widget]

no

[slow widget]

just the recommendation letters from private teachers are not valued as those of counsellors

[icy talon]

Are you from india??

The thing is i was thinking of giving final a levels of maths and chem in may june series but here in india the school ends in feb march so you become a private candidate so i think i still can get the LOR from counsellors

[slow widget]

no

sadly

[slow widget]

if u get from counsellors.u don't have any problem

it is same

[timid parrot]

If you do cambridge in india, Where do u apply for uni- like do u stay in India or apply to international uni cuz the fee is expensive
Also what do u study? What courses can u apply to after studying all three Cambridge sciences
I live in nz rn but there's a fifty fifty chance I move back to India after AS level, I'm confused if I should continue doing my a levels or not

[slow widget]

if u are planning to go back to India,then alevels are not necessary

if u are planning to go to abroad a levels might be useful

[sleek saffron]

but again it would be hard for him or her to do CBSE or ICSE or STATE cuz language (hindi and state language)

[slow widget]

yes, true

it depends on his situation

[sleek saffron]

and there are plenty of cambridge schools here

so he or her can do A lvls here in india too

yh that would be the best

but now he is in nz

[fringe hatch]

Is taking 4 A-levels stressful?

[noble apex]

Hmmm I wouldn’t know 👀

[shrewd sage]

yes

it is

one saving grace in my opinion is that getting into unis is easier

applied to 4, got a conditional offer from 3 of them
just with my AS grades

now waiting to finish my A2 exams and then I have to sort other things like visa and all

[noble apex]

Ohhh which ones did you apply to

[shrewd sage]

2 in the UK and 2 in australia

got 1 offer from uk and both aussie offers

if I took 3 A levels there is no way I could've pulled that off so quickly

[noble apex]

What were your grades 👀

If you don’t mind saying

[shrewd sage]

AAAB

[noble apex]

High As?

[shrewd sage]

I doubt ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[noble apex]

So I also got a chance 👀

[shrewd sage]

ye

[noble apex]

Wait what was the condition man 💀

A*s 💀💀💀💀

[shrewd sage]

for entry it was like BBC in 2 of then and AAB in another 😆

scholarship is another beast though

[shrewd sage]

it's impressive is why

[noble apex]

Nah it’s normal say like three more people here who do that

[shrewd sage]

huh
here the max I see from my classmates is 3
only one other guy takes 4 but he's commerce + math

[noble apex]

Not trynna offend commerce students but it’s easy tbh

I'm a comspci math physics and chemistry

Why it was soo good

But A2 is worse

miss the old as days with no stress

[shrewd sage]

ahhh yes

[shadow tree]

Lmao still less than final year of uni

[timid parrot]

Which Is easier/less stressful- English language or literature for AS

[slim nimbus]

which uni of australia?

[shrewd sage]

that would be university of mebourne and UNSW

[fresh hornet]

howd you get unimelb and unsw but not usyd

[slim nimbus]

i could apply with predicted grades of A2 right?

[shrewd sage]

pretty sure yeah

[shrewd sage]

didn't apply

[slim nimbus]

what did score in IElTS

[fresh hornet]

ahh ok

[shrewd sage]

just picked 2 from uncle's recommendations

[shrewd sage]

didn't do ielts, also I picked toefl (which I still have to sort out)
it's another on of the conditions

[fresh hornet]

aussie unis accept English AS General Paper btw

dunno about UK

[slim nimbus]

dont have AS english would they accept ig english tho

[fresh hornet]

they dont even ask for your IG so no

go with IELTS or TOEFL then yeah

[slim nimbus]

should i expect a decent scholarship if i have 2A* 2A and a 6.5 up in ielts

[fresh hornet]

scholarships are pretty rare so im not sure

[high jungle]

You could contact the university your college your applying to . To see if they have an alternative route into the course you want to do because in Ireland there’s an alternative route which is the plc but idk if in other countries it’s disame

[shadow tree]

If you're gonna be studying medicine, sadly a levels is not gonna be the hardest thing you do

Skipping a levels isn't gonna find you in an easier place tbh, if anything it'd be harder because you're expected to do the same stuff but you're less prepared to handle the stress

[dense lake]

i assume you just finished igcse or about to

dont look for what's really easy and good

Should I become a doctor I don't think I'm smart enough and that my memory is also bad

[noble apex]

How do you know your not SMART enough if you don’t try?

If you reallyyyyyy wanna become a doctor I am sure you can do it just don’t give up and work hard

Nothing comes easy 🤷‍♂️

And I think you are igcse in right? So you have some time to study hard and actually change if you think you aren’t capable enough

So don’t be discouraged if you feel like you aren’t capable right now just take it as a motive to drive yourself to become better

[noble apex]

In conclusion if you wanna be a doctor go for it with a whole heartedly and I am sure you shall achieve your dream 😆

[slow widget]

if u are interested in bio ,try t

don't try it bcz your family forces it upon u

If everyone in the world don’t pursue a dream because they think they will “fail” no one would be professionals today nothing would happen

[umbral summit]

Every field u go in has that possibility tho..

[tidal socket]

what do u guys think of accounting and finance

[finite thorn]

hey soo not sure this is the right place but
if i want to get into medicine, what other things can i do outside school that would increase my chances to get into uni?
everyone says volunteering but i live in ksa and there's little to no opportunitites for that here
and uni choices are limited so i need to do the most i can to increase my chances of getting accepted

[lean flame]

I think the more you are involved in activities such as competitions and etc other than volunteering, the more they gonna see the potential in you. They do value extracurricular activities so you can reflect on those and mention what you have learned from those experiences in your personal statement/essay. I hope I made it clear

[umbral summit]

You can do online doctor shadowing and similar things, it doesn't have same impact as physical but after COVID, online shadowing is also considered really good!!!

A lot of math majors go into finance or actuary

Big money time

[shadow tree]

You can do a lot of things with physics, you can do optics / photonics (also with medical implementations), data analysis/ science, electronics, software development, further research, materials science, quantum technology/ computing..

[fossil widget]

Is that applicable even if I am more interested in Theoretical Physics part rather than Applied Physics?

Tbh interests change, in Europe quantum computing is more theoretical since they haven't got the big daddy funding like the US

If you wanna do theoretical then research is your thing

Hey! Does anyone have any ideas on what scholarship I can possibly obtain with those grades:

• 8A*s in IGCSE
• 3A*s in A-Levels

I’m planning on studying dentistry in the UK, but, the fees for international students is ridiculously high, my best shot is to aim for a scholarship and cut the fees down. Any ideas on what I could possibly get with that, and where?

[lean flame]

https://search-study-uk.britishcouncil.org/scholarship/search-results.html?qualificationid=3&nationalityid=229&pageno=8 you can take a look at this if you want

[tidal socket]

Hi everyone, so I’ve currently applied to university of exeter,cardiff,birmingham,southhampton and leeds for the accounting and finance program, i am still yet to receive any offer letter, but what one is the best one?

[lofty thicket]

Bachelors in artificial intelligence and data science good?

[dense lake]

to whom ig

but yeah it is

generally ig

[noble apex]

Ask Eminem or brave about this cause once they were talking about talking cs rather than ai as a major

Because if you do cs

After you are done you can specify in AI

So you have a higher scope if you do CS

Rather than just talking AI

[lofty thicket]

Ye

[noble apex]

But since I am not an expert in this @lofty thicket I would say talk to brave or Eminem since they are studying CS currently

Anyways good luck

But imo AI seems cool

[lofty thicket]

@dawn garnet @fresh hornet @rose veldt

[rose veldt]

AI and DS are big parts of the future going forward yes

but make sure you're actually interested

don't force yourself into a field

[lofty thicket]

Ye I'm interested

AI and DS not easy but well worth it

[noble apex]

That’s true

But I am pretty sure CS has an AI module

Right

[lofty thicket]

Yes

[noble apex]

@rose veldt

[rose veldt]

it does

[noble apex]

Oh then @lofty thicket I would personally recommend doing CS because it widens your scope

Since you can do AI in the future if you want

[lofty thicket]

Fair

[noble apex]

And if you don’t want to

You still have other paths to follow

[rose veldt]

if you have a bachelor of CS with a concentration in AI that is a good way to go

[noble apex]

Ikr

[noble apex]

So hope you make the best decision 😆

[lofty thicket]

Was looking into this

[noble apex]

Ohhh I think my friend showed me this school back in IG he said he wanted to go there

It looked amazing dude

https://www.notion.so/

[fresh hornet]

It's pretty great, in Data Science you get to do stuff like Machine Learning and just generally a lot of data analysis using programming languages, and a bit of stats as well so it has a lot of mixing from different fields. AI is something you get to do in the 2nd half of your degree (at least in my uni). If you're more interested in just the programming part, I'd suggest you major in CS instead

[lofty thicket]

See the main reason I'm not doing a CS degree is cus I don't want to do that much programming

[lofty thicket]

What course in which uni you in

[fresh hornet]

I'm doing a BSc in Data Sci and Math (double major)

At university of sydney

[lofty thicket]

Scholarship?

[fresh hornet]

The cool thing about BSc is you have elective space so you can do extra subjects that aren't part of your majors

[fresh hornet]

Nah I'm an Australian citizen so I get their student loan plans and cheaper tuition

[lofty thicket]

Ah right

[lofty thicket]

If I get into this then that'd be good

[fresh hornet]

Yeah then Data Sci is great

[dawn garnet]

Sure, if you're an average math and stat enjoyer then you'll definitely like it, and AI is getting pretty famous now

[fresh hornet]

ML is a lot of fun you'll enjoy it

[lofty thicket]

Ty, was looking at some Australian unis and the requirements not high for scholarships and general admissions

Like legit no mention of ECs

Only academic stuff

[fresh hornet]

Yeah even for local students there's no ECs

Purely grade based

[lofty thicket]

Shouldn't be hard getting in then

How's the living costs there

[lofty thicket]

Nice

[fresh hornet]

Quite expensive ngl

[lofty thicket]

Hmm

[fresh hornet]

In Sydney, the on campus studio rooms are more that $300 a week

[lofty thicket]

The scholarships I saw all covered tuition and gave like AUS$ 5000 /year

[fresh hornet]

Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane are cheaper

And Melbourne is in between

[lofty thicket]

That's expensive

[fresh hornet]

Yeah Sydney is comparable to London and New York etc

[lofty thicket]

Shit

💀

[fresh hornet]

I gtg now, DM me if you want more info and stuff

[noble apex]

Uh come on

🤦‍♂️

[lofty thicket]

Sure

Anyone doing uni in Singapore here?

[slim nimbus]

i have interest in maths and physics so the major i have chosen is mechatronic engineering . But what do you guys think would be better for me . like which would give me a good scope for future

[shadow tree]

Do you like to build things

[slim nimbus]

Kinda ,not that much but yeah

[shadow tree]

Engineering is a lot about building things so you might wanna make it your thing if it isn't

[slim nimbus]

ok but what majors do you think are going to be the next best thing

[shadow tree]

Depends on what you're good at and what you like, we have no idea about those thinfs

[slow widget]

I want to study law, but idk much about it...could someone advise me on what i need to do and what i need to know and do before applying to a university? like do i have to give an exam (CLAT for example) to submit to the university? What's the whole package cuz i'm genuinely confused and lost...Wanting to study law was a rash decision cuz I initially wanted to study Interior designing but due to certain circumstances, i can't. so could someone guide me on what I'm supposed to do? I'd really appreciate it a lot!!

[fair sedge]

Damn that’s cheaper than what rent in NZ for the dorms

[fair sedge]

Mechatronics engineering is heavily focused on control systems. You will learn about a variety of ways to make cool gadgets and even robots that will be able to automate the boring tasks we do. If that’s something that interests you, you will like it

[jade zephyr]

Hey guys, so I'm interested in physics, and some part of me likes AI and ML as well. This has got me thinking about whether i should do B.Sc physics or B.Tech Computer Science. Please let me know if there are any tips that would help me to decide. Thanks a lot.

[shadow tree]

When you say you like AI and ML, do you like linear algebra?

Because that's essentially what it is

Also depends how stressed you are on jobs straight out of undergrad

[fair sedge]

Depends on the university offering course tbh but it does require some knowledge of CS, especially in regards to the hardware side

If u did not study CS, the university will most likely ask you to take an intro to CS course or other course like that in your first year

[sleek saffron]

I wanna be a Cargo ship captain

What subs do i need?

And what do I do?

[sly parcel]

Guysss should I pursue the accounting feild or the CS feild? I mean I know CS is more valuable

15% growth rate within the next 10 years

A 7% for finance

But idk

Most unis need maths in A level for a bachelors in CS

Which I haven't even started out yet so

Idk

Help

[buoyant garden]

well if u dont have math u cant do it since every Uni that im aware of needs math for CS

[shadow tree]

if youre alr in a levels and dont have maths, unless you're really into programming already, dont do CS imo

our subject options are due in a week -- idk which math to take. i'm good at math, but i'm not great. i'm better at patterns and identifying formulas and communication than actual application of knowledge, and i want to go into computer science. what i'm thinking of taking rn is CS HL, Math AA HL, Business HL, Psych SL, Eng SL, Spanish SL. I have to take minimum 3 HLs out of 6. I also may go the business route which is the reason for Business and Psych. Any suggesions, anyone?

pls mention me if possible if you do give advice if that's fine

[dense lake]

if you want to do cs i recommend doing the hardest math course available to you

with surgery experience

[slow widget]

It is a competitive specialty

[slow widget]

ENT is a surgical specialty with a wide range of surgery techniques available. this can include smaller surgeries, but can also include some very complicated and technically challenging surgery, such as removing head and neck cancers and reconstructing the face.

Guys

I'm thinking of studying physics because i really enjoy it, but I feel like there's not alot of money that comes with it job-wise, so I was then thinking about some sort of engineering, specifically chemical or aerospace

I'm not too sure what to do

[winter panther]

i wanna do aerospace too

[shadow tree]

Just be careful about aerospace, since most jobs are in defence, you wanna be studying in your country or somewhere where you qualify to pass security checks

Because if you can't then you can't really do any relevant internships during your degree

[fading orchid]

oh

[fading orchid]

[slow widget]

Well, there is Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering
Though Chemical Engineering has a very good salary (Like almost around 63797 dollars per year), so does Nuclear Engineering (93311 dollars per year)

[bleak sorrel]

i have applied to bachelors in engineering in Computer science and what i feel is, if you are sure you want to pursue data science in future then go ahead. But if you are unsure like me, and what to explore more then find out- go for computer science. As it provides a broader approach, in the final year or two, you could chose what you want to major on eg: ai or data science.

[green path]

i'm thinking of pursuing it too, but i haven't taken physics in year 12 and 13. i've taken AA HL math (calc and all) and CS HL so i'm thinking i should be good, since i studied physics in Y10 and Y11. what do you guys think?

i'm scared unis won't accept me and think i'm an invalid

[formal jungle]

For a better guidance You can mail to your desired university regarding your subs and grades and what field you wanna pursue

[hardy mesa]

im not sure since im still in igcse and y10 but maybe you should talk to your school counsellor and talk to them about it (specially if you dont have a uni in mind yet) they can guide you towards which subjects you should take etc

[rigid meadow]

Okay so I just had physics and chemistry and there’s this university that’s willing to take me in for CSE. Now the problem is that I didn’t have math in A Levels so I’m aware it will be difficult but I’m willing to work hard for it. These are the courses written down here. Do you think it’s possible if I try my best?

[snow panther]

okay so.. i want to take art therapy, but i don't know what A levels to take. i'm worried that i don't do well in biology and art in my igcses but from my understanding those are essential subjects? idk- i need help and advice.

[marble ember]

What exactly do you hope to do in art therapy? Is there anything specific that made you think that you wanted to do that?

I got a few questions before choosing your AL subs

Assuming you’re doing your GCSES?

[hardy mesa]

im not very sure but i think you would definitely need art and biology or maybe psychology? i'd suggest you talk to a career counsellor in your school so you can get a better understanding of the job opportunities and subjects you should take to be an art therapist

[snow panther]

well i think it would best suit me since art and psychology/mental health related issues are two things i'm very dedicated to

but i think I've decided which combination works best

[marble ember]

Thing is, it’s a very niche topic don’t you agree?

Sure, they’re you’re fav subjects, but the more niche the industry, the lower the demand right?

[marble ember]

Maybe combining the two isn’t really necessary

Psychology and mental health, for sure

You’d like to be a therapist right?

Stick with psychology as your main subject

If you’re into the physiology and psychology link, then do some bio as well

If you’re going into research, take maths and learn some statistics

Would you like to do 3 or 4 subs?

[snow panther]

well i'm more interesting in working in the visual art aspect- so psychology isn't my top motive

[marble ember]

I see

What kind of art do you draw?

Can I see some of your work?

If you’re comfortable with it

We could move to dms if you’d like

[snow panther]

sure, that's okay

Is uk bachelor with foundation course good for int'l average students

[lean flame]

Hello! I wanted to know about students who attend the research programmes, especially in summer, what do they do? I'm asking this because it seems intimidating to me and I don't know what would I do if I was in one even though it is a plus for uni application...

[green path]

honestly, i'm not too sure, but i believe that they guide you through a process in which you must submit a research report or something by the end

and then they'll (the staff, i mean) evaluate it and give you a recommendation letter regarding your performance

[atomic pawn]

i want to do psychology and im taking commerc right now (im in o/ls)
i take business economics biology chemistry ict maths and english
should i have taken physics? no one really helped me make my choic and im good in economics anyways so i took commerce and now everyone i meet is like You neEd PhYSicS like ms i dont think i need to calculate the acceleration of anxiety but ok

[vernal kayak]

You want to do psychology? Your subjects are fine then! Bio chem and maths are the very least you can take, and you should also check your a level curriculum to see which subjects link the most to psychology. I wanted to do psychology (before I switched to med) too, and I took bio chem maths for a level cause my school didn't offer psychology until literally this year. But then again, it depends on the uni and it depends more on what you take in your A Levels rather than your O-Levels or GCSEs. Hope this helps!

[atomic pawn]

so if i take economics, business, ict and biology for als will that be enough?

because il be able to take only four subjects and according to google i need to know basic maths so idt ill need it (i might take stats instead of ict if i must though..or maybe ill jsut do five subs)

and ict is a pretty demanding field now (plus i enjoy it)

me doing als depends on my results for ols. if theyre good id probably go straight to foundation or something where they teach psychology because they dont in my school

[vernal kayak]

I'm not sure

Do your research on the unis you want to go to

[shadow tree]

maths would be useful if youre going into research bec you need to understand statistics

[vernal kayak]

^^

[atomic pawn]

im not gonna do research though-

[atomic pawn]

okay sure
thanks for the help :)

[atomic pawn]

we have pure maths and stat maths
i can do stat only if i need to then right?

(i h a t e math)

[shadow tree]

so pure is core for everyone

and you choose between stat and mech for your options

tbf you dont need it but imo it helps

also in hindsight this is not pure math in the fucking least 😂

[novel parcel]

yall

in alevels

can we take all 3 sciences

cuz im so confused

if i should take all 3 seicnes

if not then im gonna soemthing with technology like IT

but everyones saying do maths as well

but im so trash at maths im struggling with it in iGCSE what will i do in ALEVELS ☠️

i wanna take

bio phys

but i also wannna take something technology cuz without that theres no job in this world anymore

and then maths like everyone has maths

[lucid kelp]

Take Math Phy & CS/IT in A Levels

[novel parcel]

the golden subjects lmao

[lucid kelp]

Lol

[vernal kayak]

you can take bio physics IT/CS and maths if you want

for AS

then drop maths in A2

[slim nimbus]

bruh whats the point

[vernal kayak]

wdym

wait maybe take maths then... drop bio in a2

maths is important

[slim nimbus]

why take subs if you are gonna drop them anyway

[vernal kayak]

Some unis need 4 AS

[slim nimbus]

then keep em in A2

[vernal kayak]

that's a lot of work though

Everyone is different and can handle different loads

[slim nimbus]

then there is me who wants some ease but also doesnt wanna drop a sub cuz people will think im a quitter

[vernal kayak]

bro literally nobody in my year takes 4 A2

[slim nimbus]

i know people with 6 lmao

even i have 5

[vernal kayak]

Yeah Ik that too but I'm struggling with 3 lol

I mean let me reverse that ... what's the point in taking 5 or 6 when you can get into uni with 3?

[slim nimbus]

except maths i didnt feel that big a jump in other subs fromn AS to A2

[vernal kayak]

Yeah maths is heavy this year

so is bio imo

chem is fine though

[slim nimbus]

oh yeah bio too

[vernal kayak]

Year 12 bio was so nice

[slim nimbus]

bio is and was a pain in the ass

[vernal kayak]

I hear physics is easier in year 13 than year 12 👀 but I hate physics so I'll never find out

[slim nimbus]

nah pretty much the same difficulty guess thats just me

[vernal kayak]

maybe it's exam boards

idk

[wise eagle]

it is

[slow widget]

Are you doing med

In uni

Just out of curiosity nothing else

[vernal kayak]

yeah probably

If I get in

Ik I'll probably do physics in med but I'll just deal with it ig

[slow widget]

Then maths will be a worse choice than physics

[vernal kayak]

Who knows I might end up liking it

[slow widget]

Caus The only maths A level I did in uni was the statistics part

And that was for biostats

[vernal kayak]

oh

[slow widget]

Try to do some physics on your own

Not alot just get the basics down it would help

[vernal kayak]

ok sure

Hello!

I’m currently an A-level student (AS level) studying the following subjects:

1. Biology
2. Chemistry
3. Mathematics

I’m expected to complete my A-levels in 2024, and as things stand, I’m expected to secure 3 A stars. Any ideas if those grades could help me land a good scholarship anywhere? The fees for dental school seem to be ridiculously high, and I was wondering if any countries (or specific universities) offer scholarships for dental courses. I currently live in the Middle-East, however, I don’t plan on completing my university study here.

Also, I’ve completed my IGCSE’s in 2022 and managed to get 8A stars for the following subjects:

1. Mathematics
2. Physics
3. Biology
4. Chemistry
5. ICT
6. ESL (English as a second language)
7. Environmental Management
8. Geography

I’ve asked a few people, and as things stand, I’d really prefer a spot in the top universities in the UK, US, or elsewhere in Europe. I’m not entirely sure if those grades could help me land a good scholarship to cut as much as possible on the fees. Please share any information if possible :))

[hoary gorge]

Go for canda as you will get an instant scholar ship with these grade and UK is also a good option you could also try Singapore although that is competitive. These grades should get you one guaranteed scholarship and you can apply for more through essays just check oout some university websites to see what they offer for dental school hopefully this helps

[wise eagle]

Canada is definitely not an instant scholarship lol

they’re really expensive for international students and a full scholarship is very rare

even the UK

also these grades alone aren’t really enough because so many people take more subjects in both igcse and a levels and get higher grades so the other parts of your application need to stand out

[jaunty kraken]

Try looking into top unis that have branches away from the home countries they are significantly cheaper and no one will look down on your degree even if you attended Nottingham in Uk or Malaysia just an example

At the end of the day youll still have the reputation of having attended a prestigious uni

[hoary gorge]

i was talking to some counselers canda you are instantly eligible for scholarship if you have a certain grade obiously it is just a base scholarship you can get addons

[jaunty kraken]

That’s also applicable in Uk aswell in a few unis

And it’s still very minut in the amount they give in Canada and you’ll be studying for a whole year longer in Canada than Uk those expenses add up quickly

And dentistry is not a course you wanna be doing while working on the side

[wise eagle]

it isn’t that easy

it’s usually a small amount that doesn’t even make a difference

[jaunty kraken]

Agreed

Honestly the best pathway imo is to do undergrad in your country and then a master outside your country because just doing an undergrad isn’t going to make you competitive enough in the job market nowadays

[hoary gorge]

that is also true

[slow widget]

I heard that Newcastle in Malaysia is actually quite awful of a uni in both academics and life

Ofc it's not the same as Nottingham but my point is research has to be done

Cheaper doesn't necessarily mean same quality of education

[obsidian tundra]

Can you go to uni after igcse V

[slow widget]

To which country and/or uni exactly

[obsidian tundra]

like us uk ? I don’t have a specific uni in mind

[slow widget]

Major?

Also UK most of the time (like 99%) needs A levels

Unless you do foundation year

[obsidian tundra]

What’s foundation year

Like uni foundation year ?

I wanna go maybe either to tourism or nursing

I heard a girl who went to medical school and she didn’t even finished high school she did like foundation year or smth

[slim nimbus]

its an alternate to a levels

you will study courses which you will need to be able to study in undergrad , (these will happen in a university btw)

but its hella expensive compared to A levels

[lucid garnet]

How difficult is it to do 4 subjects in AS? If someone has done Phys, Bio, Chem and Maths in AS, please share your experience.

[icy talon]

I am doing 4 and eng gp it can be done just stick to the schedule you make for yourself the only problem i am facing is the bloody Cambridge schedule i have like 3 exams in a day, as i see you have all sciences and maths so i don’t think you’ll face that problem.

[slender egret]

Hey! So I'm finishing up my A Levels right now and have an offer from The University of Southampton for Business Analytics and Nottingham Trent University for Business Management. My aim is to go into the Project Management field and obtain a MBA from a top uni in the US. I just wanted some quick advice real quick. So ik that Southampton is a far more prestigious uni overall and with its ranking I can def get a great placement afterwards, but the only thing that is holding me back is that the offer is for Business Analytics...i was wondering how that would play out as I'm pretty clear that I want to go into the Management field. I've heard that Nottingham Trent has really good connections with the industry and that there are tons of networking opportunities there, plus the offer is directly related to my field of interest. Anyone have any suggestions to what I should do?

At the moment I'm preferring Southampton more with the intent in mind of doing additional courses through MOOC platforms such as Coursera and edExcel, which will help me develop the skill set I need for Project Management...but once again I would appreciate a second opinion on this plan and how it would play out

Nah
Take Physics
Makes sense

IT Doesn't make sense when you take Bio

[civic sandal]

You should think about whats interested you the most and what you have skills for, psychology can be a load on you if you're not rightfully prepared for it you should do research too about jobs in the future ykyk

You just need to study for it and get a PhD to get an actual job or you mean nothing 😭

Is IT degree cheaper than CS degree?? Any idea

[tribal crypt]

is igsce maths useful anywhere

[lucid kelp]

yes

[flint meteor]

quite definitely

however, it depends on what type of degree you are considering

studying igcse mathematics would display that you have basic mathematics proficiency

if going for an engineering or physics-based degree it is necessary for you to have done mathematics in many colleges

[slow widget]

everywhere abroad igcse and as/a level is valued

because of it toefl and other english entrances are not required

[flint meteor]

yep

[shut cave]

is it possible to drop english in as and a levels?

if not i would have to deal with 5 subjects

[flint meteor]

believe you can

depends on your school

and colleges of choice

[shut cave]

oh

[flint meteor]

for example MIT, Stanford, and all the UCs require you to do four years of english

[shut cave]

oh right

thanks

[flint meteor]

You’re welcome!

[tribal crypt]

ok thx

[shadow tree]

i mean my school didnt even offer english at a level

[carmine egret]

not necessary as far as i know

[winged oracle]

your choice

its you find it hard then drop it

[twilit atlas]

if i want to study international business in master, what would be the best choice to study in bachelor???

[flint meteor]

I recommend something like a bachelors in business administration

[hollow elk]

and my school has it compulsory even tho none of us want it 😭

[twilit atlas]

Ok wait

I want to study business law actually

I just don’t know if I can study it in bachelor?

[sinful canopy]

there are bachelors in international business

[rigid meadow]

Which major would be better, marketing or HR?

[flint meteor]

recommend marketing

HR is a field which you can get into withother degress as well

*degrees

while marketing, to my knowledge, specifically requires marketing degrees usually

[golden bear]

well better for what

It depends on what you want to do after, but I'd say marketing gives you more options in the future and a greater possibility to switch directions if you so wish.

Can anyone suggest me some good engineering courses except for CSE

which is future oriented

[onyx belfry]

Not really sure where to ask this so i'm just gonna put it here. I'm about to give my IGCSE exams for the summer 23 series and i've gotta pick my subjects for A levels in a few weeks. I really enjoy geography but my school doesn't offer it. Changing schools isn't an option for me; would it be advisable to study A level geography by myself as a 5th A level?

[wise eagle]

doing 5 subjects will make your life a lot harder

especially when you’re doing one yourself

[onyx belfry]

the subjects I'm planning on taking are economics, business, ICT and Math. So either i drop geo completely, drop math and self study geo, or take it as a 5th subject

don’t drop math

that’s the most useful one

why don’t you drop business or one of the others if you really want to take geo

[onyx belfry]

business econ and geo are the only subjects i really like. ICT cause the last option block didn't have any other subject.

[dense lake]

dont drop math

math opens up so many opportunities

[onyx belfry]

Thing is, I've already got an undergrad course in mind, and none of the universities i've looked at have any prerequisite subjects so i'm not too sure if taking math would be the best. i'm doing really well in almost every subject but math is one of the subjects i'm struggling to an A/B

[dense lake]

well up to you but

you’re still young and it’s possible that your mind will change

[crude niche]

Yes

[crude niche]

Practice maths it will become very easy if you get hold of it

[frigid lagoon]

guys after igcse where do we go

after O levels

pls help

[civic sandal]

Wdym

You can either do IB or A levels

[frigid lagoon]

so whats better

?

[civic sandal]

Personally Im planning to do IB it prepares you well for college but they're both difficult ofcourse

IB is 20% extended essay and 80% final exams
A levels is 100% final exams I think

[frigid lagoon]

i wanna plan ahead i dont really know lol

[civic sandal]

But you gotta research on it lol

You can see the requirements

I think A levels you only need 3-4 subjects while IB requires 6

And IB has CAS hours and stuff

[frigid lagoon]

oh i got 6 subjects

[civic sandal]

Its better if you were to search it up maybe

[frigid lagoon]

but i dont have the ICE

[civic sandal]

Oh

[frigid lagoon]

i got 6 subjects

english maths physics biology chemisrty and business

[civic sandal]

What do you wanna do in the future

[frigid lagoon]

...

i dont really know

[civic sandal]

Like career vise

Medicine?

Business?

Engineering?

[frigid lagoon]

i wanna start a business

but

[civic sandal]

Idk theres alot lol

[frigid lagoon]

business isnt a job

so ig u cant just start a business

probably englineering

[civic sandal]

I mean you can study business later on and stuff

[frigid lagoon]

cuz medicine meh im not so interested

[civic sandal]

You can go for that career but it depends on you

[frigid lagoon]

unless it involves chemistry ofcourse

[civic sandal]

Also look at what schools and stuff around you offer after IGCSE

[frigid lagoon]

like i dont wanna be a doctor i wanna be the guy who makes the medicine instead

[civic sandal]

Do you guys have schools offering IB

A levels

All that

[frigid lagoon]

yea

we got both

as a levels

and ib

im not so sure about ib tho

thx

[civic sandal]

Oooh alright

So you have a nice selection of options

Research about the schools and see whether they teach well or not since that can impact you too

And research the systems

So search up the IB Certificate/Diploma programme and look at its requirements and see if its suitable

Look up AS/A levels program

Do the same thing

[frigid lagoon]

thx alot

you made it kinda clear

ill do my research on it

hopefully i get all As and A*s on my o levels

ill have a good acceptance rate

[civic sandal]

You will hopefully!

Study hard thoughh but dont stress either

[civic sandal]

Lmk how it goes

[frigid lagoon]

opk

ok

[frigid lagoon]

thx!

[fair estuary]

I'm taking my IGCSEs right now in the feb/march series. I've taken add maths as an igcse subject and have scored an A* in all of my practice tests and prelims, so am pretty confident for being able to get one in the IGCSE exam as well. I really enjoy doing maths, and wish to do further maths as a subject in A levels. However, my school does not have a teacher to teach further maths, and I would have to self-study it externally. Would it be possible for someone who has taken Further Mathematics in AS or A levels to tell me if they think it would be possible? Would it be beneficial if I'm applying to American colleges for an engineering degree in computer science? And additionally, does anyone have a textbook pdf for a further maths textbook which I could potentially go through?

[cyan shell]

I'm having trouble picking my career I'm leaning towards medicine but I don't feel like I will be able to handle the length as it is an extremely long course so I decided nursing because its shorter and deals with medicine but I still feel like my mind is not set on it any advice on my career choice?, The subjects I do the best in are Literature, Biology and ICT.

[cyan shell]

I know someone in my school in A/AS level who is doing a subject outside the school cause my school doesn't offer the subject and basically the learn the subject outside of school but when taking their finals they asked the school if they can pay for that field with the school and do the exam in school but the learn outside the school and they agreed so i think its possible
