is this a good subject selection: IT, CS, math(Pure math and statistics) and English?

shadow tree

IT isn't gonna do much for you no?

#

Unless you're taking it purely for it being a 4th subject

but i havent studied ict anytime in igcse

#

i studied cs however

as long as you can excel and stuff, you dont need to take ict in igcse

i havent done AL IT myself but igcse ict is really just mail merge and a bunch of office stuff which you can pick up very easily

probably

#

thanks a lot

could anyone give their opinions about this subject section: Math(pure and statistics), physics, computer science and english

neon grove
#

for alvls, should i take 4 or 5 subjects, I'm not good at studying (i studied for my igcses the morning before the exam so... and barely before then) but i guess i got some typa luck since i got 7A* and 1A (sry for the 'brag'), i plan to take phys maths and it (edexcel if its of any matter) and i want to take eco as a social sci sub for ive read that some unis like that and chemistry cos the teacher's good at teaching it

Whatever seems more suitable for your career

Or whatever may be a req

#

also i would personally so dont go with 5 subs

#

im doing 4 in A2 currently and its hard to manage 4 so idk how ur gonna manage 5

#

3-4 is the sweet spot

#

most ppl go with 3 but if u think u can handle the extra pressure AND are unsure about what u wanna pursue and want to leave doors to multiple paths open then go for 4 subs

neon grove
#

something along that major

# neon grove cs ig

Phy , math , CS is what almost everyone chooses if they wanna pursue computer major

static temple
#

i had two friends who had chem with it aswell but dropped it before AS exams

neon grove

neon grove
#

its what i had in mind but im open to any other as well

static temple
#

so if thats the case for u i would suggest go for chem

#

@neon grove if ur unsure about 3 subs or 4 subs
i advise choose 4 subs rn and u can drop the 1 extra sub any time during ur AS level whenever u feel pressure burden or u feel that this extra sub is hindering ur other 3 major subs

civic sandal
#

I think this person knows better than me I guess lol

static temple
neon grove
#

Even top unis?

static temple
# neon grove Even top unis?

Yeah i dont think 3 or 4 subs makes a diff in ur application to a top uni in US that much tho u should confirm from someone who knows about applying to USA

#

they focus alot on ur extra curriculars and stuff..

neon grove
#

Mhmm mhmm

static temple
#

so yeah just go for 4 subs rn if ur confused

#

u can drop at any time nws

neon grove
#

Okay

#

Chem for the 4th?

static temple
#

if u dont rlly need chem in ur uni related tests or something
I would say go for eco since its more practical and might actually help u irl unlike chemistry

neon grove
#

Ohhh

#

Alright

static temple
#

Eco is better BUT if ur test is gonna have a portion of chem

#

its better to have a base of chem in Alvls

#

u get my point

I do

Doesnt it all depend on a person's abilities?

#

If you practice math which is a subject that requires heavy continuos practice

#

Anyone ca be decent at it

#

But if we dont include that

#

People who just have no interest in math or just hate math and arent bothered to put effort into math or its just not suitable for them etc etc

#

They struggle with math and find it hard as hell

#

People on the opposite end of the spectrum obviously dont maybe here and there yeah but they'd disagree that math comes from hell

Hello there! I needed advice for choosing a masters program!

Currently I'm doing Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering (MEng in EEE) but I want to do Masters in Canada with a degree aligning to my hobbies of Particle Physics and Quantum Mechanics.

Any degrees or programs yall recommend? Will these align with my Bachelor's?

shadow tree
untold flicker
shadow tree
#

I mean depends on how much job prospects you wanna have tbvh

#

As a physics major I'd say just do elective courses on particle / quantum, don't spend your degree on it if it's just an interest

#

The only corporate industry particle lends itself to directly is data science bec experimental particle physics is just glorified data science

#

And quantum well I suppose if you wanted you could go into semiconductor tech?

#

Particle physics as a hobby and particle physics at grad level aren't the same 😂 as I've come to find out

untold flicker
#

Ahhh alright tysm

#

I needed exactly this perspective

#

How do u recommend I go about choosing a masters program then?

untold flicker
#

Sadly idh any electives on those 😦

shadow tree
#

And see what kind of research projects are open

#

I mean like classic industry jobs like electrical engineer

Physics tends to lead into not very mainstream jobs

Is international business a good degree ?

cedar night
#

I've given the fm 2023 exam and now my 10th is over. Now, the only thing I'm sure about is that I don't want to do a levels and I'm not interested in anything related to chem and phy. I'm confused over which college I should apply for and what degrees I should pursue or which exam to give. I'm not well acquainted with these matters so can someone explain to me what all I'm supposed to be searching for?

Its also in high demand nowadays

#

Its a rising field that alot of people are doing and its not too difficult either

civic sandal
#

But in IB

#

You need to take 6 subjects

#

2 languages so - english and a second language which is offered by your school or whatever

#

Math - high level or standard we call it (AA and AI)

#

A humanity

#

And 2 other subjects

#

English speaking countries or otherwise?

IB is recognised worldwide though and its a program that gains alot of attention by universities

If your planning to stay in India, I wonder if India has their own course that they offer? Like GED

#

However, most people here that want to study business in India either do BCom and the MCom, or do BBA and MBA

#

A lot of people also do CA (chartered accountant) because that is usually a high-paying job

#

Personally I suggest that if you want to go into a commerce-related stream, you look into doing a BBA and an MBA, because that will give you the opportunity to learn the ever-important skill of business administration and management

#

which will allow you to be more successful as an entrepreneur someday

#

however, if you want to go into a position where you can work a stable job, go for studying either CS (company secretary, very high-paying and respected career here) or CA (chartered accountant)

civic sandal
#

But I may not recommend it iff you plan to stay in India as there probably is an easier and more worth it system like GED offered there

#

also @cedar night if you intend to study in India itself, i recommend not continuing with an international board such as CAIE or IB

#

going with CBSE, ICSE, or your local state board might be easier

cedar night
#

Can you also explain the importance of exams like NEET?

flint meteor
#

so basically, there are two major entrance exams for science students in India

#

JEE and NEET

#

these scores are what colleges use to decide whether you get admission

#

JEE being for engineering and NEET for medical

#

@cedar night if you're not into the sciences then NEET and JEE may not be relevant to you, but they are extremely important to anyone trying to do engineering as medical as they are what matter the most

#

colleges in India don't care, for the most part, about your school grades and stuff

civic sandal
flint meteor
#

your score on that one exam determines EVERYTHING

#

your life DEPENDS on that exam

#

you don't score well? you either go study somewhere bad or waste a year preparing again

wanna go to IIT? score well in JEE-Advanced

nothing else matters

Hey, I'm giving my A-levels right now, and considering an undergraduate in something chemistry or biochemistry related (maybe biotech?). Anyway I'm going to apply for unis eventually and have a pretty good shot at getting into unis in my country. But I was wondering if its worth to try to apply to foreign ones? I'm pretty down to go to any English speaking country but would need full or near full financial aid.
Would need to give some english tests/application fees so was wondering if this is realistic or should I just try for graduate studies later?

green path
#

if you're in a position where you can actually get financial aid, then it's worth applying. i want to apply for financial aid because my parents both have to work to support me and my twin brother (who will be leaving for uni at the same time, ofc) and their savings probably won't be enough so we'll both have to take out student loans, but my parents also own a lot of houses/land in turkey/uae/usa so we don't even qualify for fafsa. so yeah sorry didn't mean to make this about me but i just wanted to give an example

#

@frigid slate

#

also, keep in mind that even if you don't study for uni in an english-speaking country, you can maybe do a master's there?

frigid slate
#

I see, thank you for sharing your experience. I'm not really sure how good I have to be to be considered for merit scholarships, like my grades aren't bad at all but I'm not really confident in myself enough to compete with world class people I guess. I'll have to look up on the requirements for needs scholarships though, anywhere I can start looking?
And yeah if I do end up not going abroad for my bachelors I'll probably go for master's/

not really that familiar with apps because i'm applying two years from now

I rlly want to start a business instead of a job, just the other day my dad told me to have a business when i grow up or else i will be stuck in a job like him.
im thinking of dropping school, earn some money, start a small business and work my way up
but im rlly not finding the rhythm so i need help in decisions

#

dropping out of school right now you're basically dropping out for nothing lol

#

i doubt you have a clear and concise plan at the moment

#

dropping out only makes sense when your other thing is working

#

is there any other thing? let alone is it working?

#

you can start earning some money now and do it alongside school

#

and see where it takes

#

#

but dropping out right now is too risky in my opinion

# quartz nebula I rlly want to start a business instead of a job, just the other day my dad told...

I wouldnt consider dropping out of school and I know most people who've done that and had businesses although they might've been successful they do regret the whole decision of starting a business
This is because honestly and I know some people might disagree but you need education if you want to do something properly and have higher levels of success and low levels of failure
You can study business and get a degree in it and then start one and what if you lose interest or your business doesnt go so well? You'll be left with nothing and you'd have to work in some store or something so getting an education opens up more career options for you and guides you more towards what you might wanna do
You could earn some money whilst balancing it out with your education and eventually start a small business all while getting some sortof degree and see how everythings going but dont drop out on your education if you have it available to you then use it, its really valuable

#

So basically stay in school work hard try to get a potential degree in business in the upcoming future, start earning a bit of money now and if you're really convinced you could try starting a small business do not quit your studies though take a gap year if you struggle but see how it goes and then you'll decide expansion and closure in the future I guess

#

It'll be difficult but doable

#

Or you can do one thing save the other for later

#

Can I take business management course in university if I don't take business in grade 11 but I take other commerce subjects like acc and eco I also take IT.

but majority cs grads in us are earning 6 figures with dozens of benefits offered

and work from home half days in a week for the most part

#

ofc since cs is a engineering course it covers all parts of physics/chem/maths and freshman cs classes would most prob be tough for newcomers

#

but once you practice and get used to the syntax and fundamentals it works out just fine. trust

tonne of earning opportunities here w freelancing, paid internship, contracts, consultation, you name it ✨

could clear some doubts in dms if you need to. overall its a great course with high ROI. def my best life decision 💻

#

besides that med students are depressed bro

and they most prob will be the rest of their lives

heady oriole

But it seems tiring idk , yh lots of them r like just putting up with it

#

Tbh I want money nd good work life balance so I don’t think I should get into Medicine for tht reason…

#

Lollll

slow widget
#

cs is the best for me

#

hardly any works apart from the few tasks i work on sometimes

#

that too from the comfort from my home

heady oriole

Tbh I always liked computers younger, But it was more about repairing them and lik openin them nd like going through settings , like now I just knw it well Loll
But like I never rlly went into coding so idk

and work-life balance too lol

Best coding dude out there

Like which language

wispy delta
#

Rn I'm doing python but I heard it isn't super efficient so I wanna learn C/C#

slow widget
#

don't do c/c# 😭

#

its hardly used and apart from cs degree itself it won't be beneficial in anything

wispy delta
#

Ah rlly? Pls gimme advice then lmao

slow widget
#

choose either web dev/app dev first

#

what u wanna try building first. ofc you can do both tho. for now choose 1 to start with

#

would you like me to suggest one for you?

slow widget
wispy delta
slow widget
#

its much easier and more in demand

wispy delta
#

Ahh alright I see

#

What would you suggest I do if I wanna do a game? Not as a job prospect but as a hobby

#

I'm not sure where to start

slow widget
#

well first

#

you'll need to do these

html
css
js

#

these are the fundamentals of web development so don't rush it and get this engraved in your soul

#

would suggest taking a month to learn this. depends on your capability ofc. learn at your own speed, rush/slow it down as u wish to

#

afterwards do

express
react
nodejs
mongodb

#

learn them one by one

Python is the most used language

python isn't used in terms of industry level

noble apex
slow widget
#

learning python won't benefit you in any way in terms of job or career perspectives

but yea learning it as a hobby is awesome. it was my first language after all

python won't benefit you much in terms of getting a job/contract, freelancing, or making money in general

flint meteor
slow widget
#

its only useful for games, os and low level stuff

#

other than that no

#

even with games you need to learn opengl + shit amount of maths and opengl

I like c right it's fun to have that much control

Most easiest language is python for complete complete begineers ? Right????

you think my chances of getting into medical school will be like at an all time low if i get a c for maths BUT i get like all A*s for the three sciences and a bunch of As for the rest in my igcses? like its only maths im struggling in. everyones telling me to give up on med school bro

ebon furnace
#

i think it should be fine, especially if you make it up in further AS and A levels

#

i don't think schools consider IGCSE grades for much, it's more of how consistent you've been, and i don't think one bad grade would affect things much, especially if everything else is A*s

#

plus you'll be fine for A levels i believe in you 💪💪
