[gentle lake]

Hmm doesn't seem so bad

[sharp hedge]

Dammm thas greatt

[gaunt flame]

there’s nothing better than an A in AS😭

[sharp hedge]

wait no A*s?

[gaunt flame]

the max you can get in AS is an A, in A2 it’s an A*

[gentle lake]

o

[sharp hedge]

o

[gaunt flame]

yeah lol

[hexed sun]

guys i take 9 subs in igcse: math, fle, chem, phy, business, accounting, ict, urdu, islamic

i wanna do a major in CS. i will take cs and math next year for sure

what other sub shud i take

[silk shuttle]

Is someone here from Pakistan I need a genuine advice...

[sharp hedge]

i am

[silk shuttle]

Ok so I am going to give A2 and AS combine this year and I have Phys Chem and bio as my subjs...how should I start my preparation like I am repeating I know many things but I cant get that much confidence...

I wanna get into med gov uni but I have heard its not easy to get into one if I have done A levels plus my some O levels grade are not that muuh good enough...

[dense lake]

Further math

imo further math over cs even

[sharp hedge]

well if ur O levels are not that good, u need great a level results, ccause in med schools, some percentagee is generally deducted if ur giving international papers, and try usuing online resources more, like yt cognito, TONS of past papers

[hexed sun]

ive heard a levels math is really hard, i dont think further math is a good idea

im looking towards taking like business, econ or something easier like that so i can chill a bit

[dense lake]

I think they're blowing its difficulty out of proportion

[hexed sun]

my own brother is doing a levels maths and its hard

as level exam was also sooo bad

[dense lake]

most of AS math

is basically igcse math

[hexed sun]

integration???

[dense lake]

it's really simple

[hexed sun]

either u are really smart or what ive been told is cap

[dense lake]

further math may be difficult yes, but it's nothing that isn't achievable

[hexed sun]

i need a easy a*

what shud i take

[dense lake]

idk

[hexed sun]

ok

anyways ty for ur suggestions

[dense lake]

sure

[brisk jasper]

Is A levels maths harder than chemistry

[dense lake]

No

Equal i think

[mortal zenith]

i mean it depends, my classmates dont find as/a level math hard but i did (i got an a* in math for IGCSE for reference). A lot of factors come to play (like with any sub) cuz my math teacher in school was fucking ass so most of my friends took tuitions outside of school whereas i didnt so yeah

if u think u can pull it off tho, taking fm is the best bet, especially if you want to apply to elite universities

[hexed sun]

the thing is ill be studying on my own or with a personel tutor so i really doubt i can do FM

[dense lake]

I learnt all of my a levels alone, it’s definitely do-able

My teachers were really genuinely useless

[sharp hedge]

thas why u chad

[hexed sun]

u are really smart then

[hexed sun]

relatable

[dense lake]

Not at all💀

[tribal fractal]

Can you share the resources u used? My teachers are fine, but sometimes, hard to approach

[dense lake]

Tl maths

Bilal hameed

Save my exams

[shadow tree]

bilal hameed is the og

[dense lake]

Real

But now paid

😔

[shadow tree]

alt academy yt not available?

[dense lake]

Idk tbh

I js heard from here it’s paid now

[shadow tree]

oof :(( thats really sad tbh

[dense lake]

Fr

[manic sapphire]

can u send the link pls

[dense lake]

I don’t remember what the link was anymore tbh lmao

[manic sapphire]

didnt u save them?

[dense lake]

Back then i think so

But not saved anymore

[main basin]

hey peeps

i am an aspiring dude tryna go for intl relations

which colleges do yall suggest to go for?

[dense lake]

Depends which country you want

And your budget

[main basin]

Im trying to get a scholarship

and any place apart from india and the uae (where i am right now)

[dense lake]

Ah

[main basin]

yeah

[dense lake]

Is there any other things lol

[main basin]

like?

i dont want it to be too financially burdening my parents

and i want to be in an environment where im pretty much welcome

[dense lake]

I see

Idk tbh lol ig depends on how much your parents make too

But I suppose

Some great universities for that

Ivies obvs

Harvard Penn Yale

UChicago great too I imagine

Huh?

10k dirhams a year?

[main basin]

no

[dense lake]

Or what lol

[main basin]

dude

im very confused in what i want to take

[dense lake]

Ah

[main basin]

so when asked abt tuition fees and stuff im pretty much an empty bag

u get me?

[dense lake]

Yeah

Fair enough

[cinder bough]

Damn Raw is here

[main basin]

Yes

We had intel suggesting that our ex-agent Pathaan was here

We are deep undercover

And we cannot blow our cover

[cinder bough]

Bro u can't get Intel on 26/11 and care about pathaan

Smh

[noble apex]

Uhhhhhhh but he is giving 10k for uni

Which imo is too low

Around 2k dollars

For tuition only well you can find some European unis in that budget for that cheap

And they sometimes do give scholarships butttt imo dont put all your hope into scholarships

Cause they are rare and you just said your family income

Anyways ivies are expensive really expensive

But you can try for scholarships in America because they are usually very generous if you are an excellent student with a good amount of extra curriculars

[cinder bough]

What abt scholarships

They help a ton in this case

[main basin]

priorities

[icy talon]

If my a level grades are average can i get good universities by giving the SAT and getting good marks in it? (I have a B in Physics and other subjects i just gave in may/june screwed up maths not expecting much)

[cinder bough]

It might be tough, you can talk to the uni itself of they are taking in your application

It might help if you be persistent but not stingy

[jade zephyr]

Guys, if anyone is planning to do a physics major at uni, dm me. I am gonna do a physics major and it would be good to have some people to get help from or offer help

[jade zephyr]

ig its better to decide which course you want to take before looking at the universities, or the money factor

[ocean laurel]

I'm thinking to pursue law
What subjects are recommended for AS and A2
I heard subjects don't really matter? And u mainly need good grades?
Bless me with the knowledge 😔

[noble apex]

Hehehehe thats good idea

[noble apex]

Subjects do matter 💀

Check what the unis requirements are usually

Then take those subjects

[cinder bough]

Just go through ur colleges or unis first and then decide the subjects that are common for the unis and then have any add on subject of you need to get into a specific university and they require the extra subject

[jade zephyr]

Which country are you planning to pursue it in?

[paper gate]

Hii, I have no idea on what I want to study in uni so I though I could ask for advice here. I'm currently doing AS level and my subjects are: English first language, Biology, Chemistry, Maths and IT

[slender valve]

It's okay we've all been there! Tell me what's something that you really really enjoy doing/studying and you don't feel tensed when you do it? What is that one interest that feels natural to you? Could be more than one too but try listing it

[wary kettle]

what kind of careers can one do with physics, chemistry and biology but involving less of chemistry

[ocean laurel]

My school or main schools here offer math bio chem physics accounting business computer science and economics only I haven't heard about other subjects so idk what to choose

[ocean laurel]

UK or Australia for now

[cinder bough]

I don't have much idea about the subjects needed for law, but if you don't find any subjects at your college then you can try doing As and A2 as a private candidate

[jade zephyr]

ah okay

[slow widget]

Guys, do medical uni's require SAT test results? Or do I have to give MDCAT aswell as SAT? I just got free from my AS exams, so I was thinking of giving SAT in these vacays, an then give MDCAT by the end of A2.

[slow widget]

I'm not from Pak so I can't comment on MDCAT but as an A level graduate I know that SAT could help you get in med schools alongside A levels but generally A levels alone are sufficient afaik

Unless you're planning on studying in Pak which I don't know about

[slow widget]

Hmm

So I don't have to do SAT if I wanna go for a uni abroad?

[wise eagle]

every uni abroad doesn’t have the same requirements

SAT is more important for the US

[wanton gust]

I applied without SAT to all unis

Some very competitive ones require SAT. Like it’s optional for most unis. Competitive ones like ivies have it optional too but it’s recommended to give it for a better chance of getting in

[dense lake]

I think of the really good ones

Js MIT and Georgiatech need it

[wise eagle]

yes most of them have made it optional now

but I think it’s still helpful

[dense lake]

Yeah def

I think they only made it optional to make more money lmao

Afterall it’s a business

[cinder bough]

[astral harness]

hi i need help on selecting my subjects this sem could anyone kindly give some advice

[wispy delta]

Shoot

[wanton gust]

Make sure whatever you choose is something you’re interested in. I’ve read a lot of people’s experiences that students have a hard time studying a sub that they did not like to begin with. You can develop an interest some time later but it’s better to choose something than to study something that is unbearable for you

[wanton gust]

.

[prime roost]

Hi everyone
I’m stuck between choosing subjects for Alevels and with the research i’ve done, i’m still unsure whether those i’ve shortlisted even complement each other or not
I decided on, or well narrowed down to, Computer Science, Economics, Maths and Further Maths
I need help in what job opportunities could arise by taking these and whether the country i’m planning on studying these in would employ me in having degrees in fields of these subjects?
I’ll appreciate any help i get!!

[frosty geode]

looks like a nice combo (dont take my advice, i know nuttin)

[terse valley]

Hi so, I took 4 subs for my AS which are accounting, economics, maths and business but the 4 subs burnt me out really bad during the year so I want to drop one. I personally don't enjoy accounting, and I want to major in either econs or business. So will it be okay if I drop accounting and take 3 subs for A2?

Or will it narrow down my future opportunities in other sectors?

[cinder bough]

[royal ferry]

i wanna do med in uni and i take bio chem phys maths i just sat composite maths literally last month and i am 100% convinced i got a B literally no way im getting an A do u think i shld retake it in october? ik i got 3 other subjs and i only need 3 for uni but like im scared that my other subjs might turn out worse than a B 😭😭is it worth to resit

[gaunt flame]

Do unis require math as a required subject for med

[wraith wave]

Hi I’m a high school student going into my junior year. I need advice on what subjects to do next year. And also I’m thinking about doing three APs so thoughts on that?

[cerulean torrent]

Good evening !!, hope you are doing well. 4 subjects is a lot and too much burnout. Dropping the subject now is a really good choice because i heard A2 math is gonna be difficult. Coming from a science student, i personally think you can have good jobs w eco business and math . If you want to pursue chartered accountant or stuff like that then you can have accounting

[terse valley]

yeah i dont wanna go in that path, but they say that accounting is a better combo with those 2 subs than maths

i enjoy maths more tho

[cerulean torrent]

u had accounting in class 10 right

[terse valley]

yeah AS too

[cerulean torrent]

i think

that knowledge

is enough

if they ask in uni or so

i have no idea becausse i dont have those subs

guys can someone help her out too

[round ravine]

if u dont wanna go in anything related to accounts

u dont need to keep it

maths is a p good option

[cerulean torrent]

yes

[round ravine]

cuz unis prefer that

[cerulean torrent]

my business partner

[round ravine]

oh hello

i didnt receive my 50% share yet

[terse valley]

i heard that they have some of it in econ and biz

[cerulean torrent]

u will soon dw

[terse valley]

but ig my AS knowledge would be enough

[round ravine]

those are easy chapters

[terse valley]

thanksss tho

[round ravine]

and yes that too

[fair estuary]

Gave +1 rep to Pr1th1v#8337

thank u!!

[fair estuary]

Gave +1 rep to ~rania~<3#9883

[round ravine]

med unis dont precisely require maths so the fact u took it gives u extra points and some unis accept till B's so thats no big deal but if u think ur other subs r worse, instead of resitting maths u cud resit one of them?

[noble apex]

Bro why arent you confident in your own grades. I say just believe in yourself it will be fine and also a B is fine tbh to get into many unis but if you dont feel confident i would say wait till the results are out in august then think about resitting for oct nov if the grades arent good enough so for now relax and look for unis and also their requirements and pray for good grades rather than worry about your grades. I hope you do good and i am sure you will do good

[royal ferry]

im scared of the threshold 😭 bcs i acc did maths 1 year early so i could do fmaths next yr but now im torn between retaking normal maths class or taking fmaths and i know fmaths is so crazy hard and i dont even need it but idk my parents rlly want me to take it 🫵🫵🫵 for pride i guess idk

Sometimes quora helps

😭💀

[cinder bough]

First you need to know what field you want to pursue after that it will be easier to select subjects

[hard flame]

Can i get into CS
with Math, Phy and IT ?

[wanton gust]

yes you can

You could have taken Cs major even without CS or IT in a levels

[hard flame]

yeah ik but sumting related to the course content would be a bit useful ig

[wanton gust]

Yes definitely

[hard flame]

But some unis say they Don't need IT instead other subjects, so what should i do ?

[wanton gust]

What subjects do they require?

[hard flame]

they wrote any third subject "NOT IT"

the thing is my school doesn't offer CS

sed

[gaunt flame]

@hard flame

I had the same case

[hard flame]

oh rly ?

[gaunt flame]

Our school doesn’t offer cs so I took IT instead

[hard flame]

R u in uni now ?

[gaunt flame]

In most Indian schools students have to take 5 subjects

[hard flame]

oh ic

[gaunt flame]

I gave my AS exams in feb

I’m in a2 rn

Summer break

[hard flame]

oh ok noice

[hard flame]

enjoy

dude I'm new to this

[gaunt flame]

What subjects do you currently have

[hard flame]

the subject that are there are Math, IT, English, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Business and Accounting

[gaunt flame]

I find AS IT the hardest

I’m ngl

The thresholds are also super low because of that

[hard flame]

oh ok

[gaunt flame]

Yeah

Luckily I got an A in IT but the lowest pum out of all other subjects

[hard flame]

am planning to do math, phy and IT

[sharp hedge]

pum?

[gaunt flame]

I’m doing math chem physics IT and English as an AS component

[hard flame]

ig u gotta stepup Alevels then dw you'll ace them

[gaunt flame]

Are you asking what pum is or my pum in IT

[sharp hedge]

oh ic, didnt ever hear that b4

[sharp hedge]

what pum is

[gaunt flame]

Thank you

[fair estuary]

Gave +1 rep to 20SHA07#3783

[gaunt flame]

For an A it’s 80 to 100 pum

In AS levels

There’s no A* in AS level

Only in a2 as a combined result

[hard flame]

what do u suggest i do in the summer to be ready for as ?

[gaunt flame]

Pick your subjects

[hard flame]

i did those

[gaunt flame]

And study from the beginning of the academic year for AS level

[hard flame]

also do we need to get tb fot IT

[gaunt flame]

It’s not like igcse

[hard flame]

yeah ik heard alot

How's math and phy ?

[gaunt flame]

The Cambridge textbook is useless

[hard flame]

i heard hodder is good

[gaunt flame]

IT barely has any resources

you’re on your own for IT

[hard flame]

fr same case in igs

[gaunt flame]

I sadly didn’t use the hodder one but I’ve heard a lot that’s it’s good

[hard flame]

is it ez ?

[gaunt flame]

No subject is ez

You could say math is ez

actually

But physics and chem no

[hard flame]

it's all practice ig

[gaunt flame]

Yup

I didn’t use the textbook for any subject though except for IT cuz there’s literally no resource for IT

[hard flame]

and also is doing alevels as a whole better ?

[hard flame]

that's what all my seniors have told me

[gaunt flame]

You mean doing AS level and A2 both

[hard flame]

yep

[gaunt flame]

hm

I’ve never done that

but ik people that have

[hard flame]

aight

[gaunt flame]

@dense lake

Be summoned

[gaunt flame]

Are you taking stats or mechanics in AS

[hard flame]

I still dunno

no clue

I need some suggestions and idea

[hard flame]

wut did u take ?

[gaunt flame]

I’ve taken mechanics for AS

And stats 1 for a2

But that’s because the school forced me

[hard flame]

oh aight

[gaunt flame]

What country do you plan to apply in

[hard flame]

UK

[gaunt flame]

For uni

Oh ok

[hard flame]

wbu ?

[gaunt flame]

In the other hand I’ve heard that no one appreciates IT

U.S.

[hard flame]

ryt

[gaunt flame]

There’re a lot of resources for math and physics

so you’re only taking 3 subjects?

[hard flame]

yep

is taking 4 sub ez ?

[slim nimbus]

depends

on how good u are

[gaunt flame]

Mostly everyone takes 4 subjects

But it’s not ez

Even 3 subjects isn’t ez

[dense lake]

Yeah?

[hard flame]

Is taking alevels as whole Easier ?

[noble apex]

I would recommend doing as then a2

Doing it in composite is way harder

[hard flame]

Oh ic

[sharp hedge]

if u have a good teacher anything is possible

[dense lake]

i mean ngl

when i started a level bio

i knew absolutely nothing from igcse bio

[sharp hedge]

self-study majorly, or teacher dependency?

[dense lake]

self study

[stoic spade]

tech is so confusing
if computer science degree works for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and software engineering well then what is the difference between these 3 careers if you learn the same basics? how do you specialize in the field you want after that?

[dense lake]

bro

if you wanna work in AI

or ML

you're gonna need a masters at least lmao

[stoic spade]

a masters in what

[sharp hedge]

thas great, and howd that go for you?

[dense lake]

could be math or some computing related thing

most people who work in AI/ML have PhDs or masters at the very least

[stoic spade]

see this is my question, it seems like the studies are way too general and it doesn't make sense to me

[dense lake]

not bad ig

[sharp hedge]

alrr ic

[dense lake]

tbf with most degrees what you learn doesn't directly translate to your work lol

it's the skills that you gain through it

[stoic spade]

:/

is AI and software engineering very different

[dense lake]

yeah ig

i mena

they're related

but AI is quite different and more complex

• im not smart enough to fully grasp AI yet

[stoic spade]

ok then how can you get a job in either by learning the same degree if they're different

i get that u have to take courses on the side to be employable

but i've read things like only a little coding is needed for AI

then why the hell would u need a computer science degree

[stoic spade]

are you planning to go into AI?

[dense lake]

idk will see

how things turn out

[dense lake]

do yk what a computer science degree includes

[stoic spade]

well coding?

[dense lake]

no

[gaunt flame]

💀💀

[dense lake]

i suggest you gooverthat

[gaunt flame]

Not everything is coding bud

[dense lake]

there's much more than just coding

[stoic spade]

like?

[gaunt flame]

there’re complex concepts in cs

[stoic spade]

are these needed for ai

[gaunt flame]

Yes

[dense lake]

A*s and A in math

[noble apex]

Yesssss

We found out

It took an year

[dense lake]

literally everyone knew bruh

[noble apex]

But I finally found males results

[noble apex]

I kept asking you

You once said Us

[dense lake]

💀

[noble apex]

I was like how

[royal ferry]

is fmath super hard be hownst

honest

[spare idol]

i think it all depends on the level of your knowledge and understanding of the topics

if you know them then it shldnt be too hard

personally i find it simple, ie for the ones i know

well thats for me anyways

[noble apex]

@magic inlet 👀

[magic inlet]

It is manageable , not as hard as people say

[royal ferry]

wait did u also do bio chem phys at a2 or do u jusr have the roles

is it hard bcs of the subj content or the amount of info

[noble apex]

I did 👀

[noble apex]

They arent hard imo

Like bio is mostly extension of igcse content but way deeper

Kinda confusing at the start

But after a while you will start getting it

And bio has a lot of content btw

As for chem

It is actually kinda hard

[slow widget]

Heyyy
Wannna do grp study session for AS bio edexcel

[noble apex]

The organic in a levels is very hard but its always the same equations with different reactants so after practise it becomes natural

[noble apex]

Can ya ask in #as-biology pls

As for physics which i self studied basically isnt hard at all

Its the easiest of all the three sciences imo if you are good at maths that is

Because physics has concepts such as logarithsm and differentiations a bit only so having maths as a subject will help with physics

But overall the three sciences arent hard just a lot info which you have time to revise

And with past papers you are set

@royal ferry

[royal ferry]

no i just gave AS lol im talking ab fmaths

but thansk

[noble apex]

Oh i thought you were giving as

Because a2 is way harder than as

[magic inlet]

i did chem phys fmaths maths

didnt do bio lmao

[slim nimbus]

I did. Chem physics bio maths comp sci

[dense lake]

Idk myself how lol

I probably got lucky or smthn

[dense lake]

Yeah i finished may june last year

[dire relic]

Does architecture require physics?

[wispy delta]

It does yeah

[civic sandal]

Yes

[wise eagle]

true

but idk about further math

[gaunt flame]

Wait really

[mortal zenith]

yeah for my subs which were math cs chem and physics

[gaunt flame]

So you found chem physics and math easier

[slim nimbus]

Chem does get easier in A2

Maths no

Physics is debatable

[radiant loom]

what do yuo want to pursue after a levels

if youb havent taken econ or accounting in igcse its gonna a little difficult for you to cope with

business is still a little easier

from personal experience

yeah it is

wouldnt cs be a good option then

cuz econ also has alot of theory

yeah i hated chem in igcse

business was actually the easiest

again

without previous knowledge of the subject

its gonna be a little hard to cope with

look at the past papers and syllabus for all these subjects

that will help you understand the subjects better

i also shifted from sciemce to commerce

so yeah its gonna be tough

if youre decent at chem

that wiuld be a better choice imo

i did not take cs in ig or a levels so idrk

but you should

check the syllabus and thr paper pattern

[fair estuary]

Gave +1 rep to mikehockurts#1510

[wispy delta]

Cs is def not an easy option

Esp if you didn't do it in o levels

Yeah it's not an easy subject, you'll need to put in a substantial amt of time and effort

[royal ferry]

i did 1 semester of cs without doing it in o levels and i died bro it was so mf hard everything was new to me

i gave up lol and i dropped it

too mych

i barely scraped a B 🤝

no cs is so mf hard

esp a2

chem is hard but its still manageable

[gaunt flame]

Chems hard bro

[royal ferry]

ok idk bro maybe if u did it in o levels it will be easy

but i only did ict in o levels so i was rlly starting from 0

[gaunt flame]

you have to practice a lot to start finding it easier

[royal ferry]

yes

chem is so mf hard

dont take chem tho

[gaunt flame]

But a level chem is a valuable subject

[royal ferry]

yes

wdym commerce

[gaunt flame]

it’s recognised a lot

[royal ferry]

i did AS business class i ddint sit the exam tho its just a block of information its literally just memorisation

[gaunt flame]

What do you wanna do in uni

[royal ferry]

A2 is mych much harder

bro

the question is like 10 qords and they make u write so much shit

and u gotta know how to answer the questions properly or no marks

do physics

fmaths maybe if ur school offers it

what do u like tho

ok tbh if u see grade statistics subjs like phys bio chem are easier to get an A* than stuff like business

[gaunt flame]

Self study fmath

Are you only taking 3 subjects?

[royal ferry]

yess but it also depends on what u like bruh if u hate a subj ure gonna be so bored studying it

you will prob end up doing bad

if u dont like it

[gaunt flame]

It’s a normal thing lots of school don’t have fmath so students self study it as a requirement for uni

I’d suggest if you wanna do math, check the subjects requirement for unis

Igcse is nothing compared to AS

[royal ferry]

AS chem is so mf hard

the diff between gcse and AS is so crazy

[gaunt flame]

Check it on multiple uni websites

Btw

Us saying the subject is hard

Doesn’t mean you can’t do it

Cuz every subject in a levels is supposed to be hard

Yeah

[fair estuary]

Gave +1 rep to mjosh01#0

[royal ferry]

no

[wispy delta]

Tbh psych is a pretty good option if you want an easy a level subject

There's quite a bit to memorize but other than that its really straightforward

Ah rip

I self studied my whole a levels lmao

[fading oxide]

Anyone here going from IGCSE to NCERT??????

[wispy delta]

Psych is really easy to self study imo

[fading oxide]

Anyone from India?????

[gaunt flame]

Hello me

[gaunt flame]

Same

[fading oxide]

I am switching

[gaunt flame]

from what

To what

[fading oxide]

This.....

[gaunt flame]

What’s ncert

[fading oxide]

Like will it effect unis?????

[gaunt flame]

[fading oxide]

National board of india

[gaunt flame]

I’ve heard the name

oh ok

[fading oxide]

So like I am us citizen

[gaunt flame]

So why do you wish to switch

Same here

[fading oxide]

Toooooooooooooo
Expensive lol

[gaunt flame]

I think for us students

Indian unis

Accept sat scores

not all unis but some

[fading oxide]

I have opposite

You know jee????

@gaunt flame

[gaunt flame]

Yeah I think we can skip the first exam

[gaunt flame]

Wdym

[fading oxide]

I want SAT

Lol

JEE for indian uni

[gaunt flame]

so how are you the opposite

[fading oxide]

Like I don't want to give jee

Sat

I prefer

[gaunt flame]

Even I’m not giving my jee

[fading oxide]

And i will not go to indian uni

[fading oxide]

You in AS level

[gaunt flame]

You just said too expensive

[fading oxide]

????

[gaunt flame]

Even I’m not giving jees

I gave my Sats

[gaunt flame]

I’m in a2 now, my AS results came

Oh are you saying a level is too expensive or the university is too expensive

[fading oxide]

A levels and AS

[gaunt flame]

Fair enough

I don’t think it’s a problem what board you’re in

[fading oxide]

Ok thanks

[fair estuary]

Gave +1 rep to mjosh01#0

[fading oxide]

Come in #university-choices🎓

[gaunt flame]

Okay

[cinder bough]

IAYP program worth it?

[forest yacht]

does germany still has that language thing compulsory ?

[gaunt flame]

Think so yeah

[forest yacht]

that u need to clear the german language test

[gaunt flame]

What’s that

[gaunt flame]

I think some of my classmates are learning German to go to Germany

[forest yacht]

same i did not T_T

[gaunt flame]

is Germany your only option

[forest yacht]

nope, allowed anywhere just need to get accepted >:<

[gaunt flame]

Oh ok

[noble apex]

Not all unis and courses

I have seen many that don’t require german

[cinder bough]

It's a certification of international qualification of sorts

[elfin pier]

Yall a levels expensive af any tips to lower the cost potentially?

[cinder bough]

Become a private candidate and study from online resources

[cinder bough]

Also you can ask for help here and it's free 😌

[elfin pier]

Yoo didn't know that was possible thanks

[fair estuary]

Gave +1 rep to SUIIIII#9682

[cinder bough]

It is you just have to talk to a particular institution for it

And pay them the fee for examination and not the institution fee itself

[elfin pier]

Ohh i see btw did you take chemistry in as ?

[cinder bough]

No I had commerce but you can join the channel for as chem by getting the role

[elfin pier]

Damn didn't knew that too😅but thanks for the tip

[fair estuary]

Gave +1 rep to SUIIIII#9682

[wispy delta]

I did. And yeah self studying is significantly more cheaper it's definitely a viable option. I also self studied my a levels

[elfin pier]

The exam fees still are expensive tho so can I like reduce the exam fees too?

[wispy delta]

Mmm I don't think that's possible. You can try and apply for the minimum amount of subjects (3 usually) and select subjects that only have 4 total exams. sciences like chem, bio, physics have 5 total exams so they cost more.

There might be some organizations in your country that help out students in a financial difficulty, or you can set up a gofundme or smth and ask for donations or maybe work a part time job

[elfin pier]

Hey man which resources did you use to study physics ? I'm really confused on each topic and teachers not good enough

[gaunt flame]

Et physics(yt channel), savemyexams(website)

[elfin pier]

U a lifesaver fr also if u know more websites and yt do let me know I'm desperate at this point

[noble apex]

There is zphysics as well

Its a youtube channel

[noble apex]

If it’s expensive to stufy at a school i would recommend doing the exams as a private candidate and study on your own using online resources which are there everywhere tbh at this point and only pay for the exam fees which arent as expensive as you might think compared to studying in a school

And if you trying to be a private canditate

Talk to some centers (institutions and schools) around you if they accept private candidates and you just have to pay for the exam fees which over here where i am is about 70 pounds per subject it is expensive but compared to a whole year of schooling its nothing

And if you are going the private candidate route

You can use this link

It has textbooks and syllabus guides and save my exam notes which are all paid but hehe we got em for free

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t1WBQBWFOzE1Q3lXxmF_v-6M0-twN71D
Everything basically for sciences like textbooks and notes

And if you need any more help with studying and resources

Just dm me or ping me

I would be glad to help

[magic inlet]

timeless promoter of ZPhysics

[wraith wave]

Can someone pls dm me I have some questions (too many to write like this here) regarding like college and stuff (I’m a high school student) I’d really appreciate it thanks

[elfin pier]

I mean one exam costs around 150 dollars here which is a lot and practices cost around 200 dollars least

[elfin pier]

Just ask here that way others can also benifit

[elfin pier]

You a real one

[magic inlet]

yo for people doing electrical and electronics engineering degree

can you suggest some resources ( yt vids , books , online material ) so I can start glancing at the first year material as i already have the courses imma take for the first year like circuit analysis etc

it will be greatly appreciated :)

[strange cave]

pgf hardworking

[magic inlet]

Learning from AlexV

:)

[strange cave]

pgf doing this course? which university?

Ask seniors for notes.

[magic inlet]

Pgf is unable to doxx his university :)

But he will do so if AlexV shares his uni ;)

[magic inlet]

Yes I am doing this course in Sept

[strange cave]

Congratulations and best of luck!

Home country or abroad?

#nodoxxing

[magic inlet]

Lmaaoooo

[magic inlet]

The motherland but imma probably go abroad for 2 or 1 year we will see how it goes in the future 2 years from now :)

[strange cave]

That would be nice.

So you got accepted even before A-Level results are out?

[gaunt flame]

he’s pgf

what do you think

[noble apex]

@keen juniper sorry for le ping but can ya help this good gentleman?

[magic inlet]

[round orbit]

is anyone doin bachelors in pharmacy over here??

perhaps even in india??

[strange cave]

Which branch of electrical/electronics is pgf interested in? Power, semiconductor, communications, information, computing, etc?

[magic inlet]

all i have rn tbh is what we r gonna cover in 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th year

[strange cave]

Advanced Engineering Methematics by Kreyzsig is a classic for engineering undergraduates.

[magic inlet]

oh wow

methematics i see

but yeah circuit analysis seems nice

[strange cave]

Yes. Engineers need meths. 😄

[magic inlet]

idk if i'll be saying that when the complex ones come but it looks fun

again subject to change^

[magic inlet]

hehehe

power seems like the least abstract though

and the rest seems very abstract

[strange cave]

Abstract is good.

[magic inlet]

but yeah

[strange cave]

Analytical.

[magic inlet]

yeah true

[strange cave]

Did you enjoy waves in physics?

[magic inlet]

i'll look through some introductory yt videos though

[magic inlet]

yes

i did

[shadow tree]

Semiconductors are very cool

From a physics pov

[magic inlet]

wow

the guy said most of his students recently were employed by this semiconductor firm

[strange cave]

Then you’ll like information and communication engineering.

[magic inlet]

ah nice

[shadow tree]

I just finished a module on semiconductor quantum structures and it was amazing

It was a 4th year module tho XD

[magic inlet]

wowowow

[shadow tree]

My master's supervisor said the same, let's hope it's true 🥲

[strange cave]

Semiconductors is just like baking cakes. Need to figure out the right recipes and time and baking temperature.

[magic inlet]

lmao fr

[shadow tree]

Production or the mechanism?

[dense lake]

Did you do take any quantum computing classes?

[shadow tree]

Nah I didn't

Some of my friends did tho

It was from the computing school and they said it was the easiest module they've taken

Bec the quantum physics was year 1 stuff for us

[dense lake]

Ohhh

Ok that makes sense

[shadow tree]

But for the comp sci people it's hard

[strange cave]

There’s analog and digital communications

[magic inlet]

yeah

[strange cave]

And how to make up codes.

[magic inlet]

and also signals and systems

[strange cave]

Efficiently.

[magic inlet]

in year 2

[strange cave]

Yes.

[shadow tree]

I did coding theory and I hated it

[strange cave]

It’s fun

[shadow tree]

Too much ring / group theory PTSD

[dense lake]

I haven’t asked around about it yet so idk what the course is like

I just know it’s for the older students

[strange cave]

Is pgf an electronics hobbyist or something?

[dense lake]

Understandable

For us at least there aren’t many physics classes that we gotta take

[shadow tree]

It's sad that they don't get to appreciate it

[shadow tree]

Here they don't have to do any

[dense lake]

Thankfully

[magic inlet]

no

my first choice was

[dense lake]

We even have to do chem here😭

[magic inlet]

chemical engineering

until i discovered

it isnt about chemistry

so i went with electrical because i liked those portions in A level

[dense lake]

Cause it’s in the engineering school

[magic inlet]

they were damn interesting

[shadow tree]

We do chem indirectly but I'd die if I took a module from chem dept

For us there's school of natural sciences and then school of engineering

[dense lake]

Fair enough

[strange cave]

You could always study chemistry :)

[dense lake]

For us there’s engineering and applied science and then arts and science

[shadow tree]

My chem friend keeps joking about how they learn to make coke lol

[strange cave]

Or medicine. It has a lot of chemistry.

[magic inlet]

yeah but i dont wanna do pure science

[dense lake]

But you take classes in the school of art and science as an engineering student either way

[shadow tree]

Missing out

[magic inlet]

no bio :/

[magic inlet]

:(((((

[dense lake]

😂😂😂

[shadow tree]

One of his lecturers looks like irl Walter White

[dense lake]

My sister finished her degree in chemistry this summer/spring semester, maybe ill have to ask her

[magic inlet]

W

[shadow tree]

Hmmmm

Chem friend is also very good at baking because it's exactly like working in a chem lab

[dense lake]

I find professors/lecturers like that pretty cool

Especially if they’re a bit crazy too

[shadow tree]

We've got one who looks like irl giga chad

[dense lake]

Emphasis on the a bit

[dense lake]

!!!!!!!!!!

NICE

[shadow tree]

Apparently a significant portion of Irani / Kurdish population looks like gigachad

[strange cave]

@magic inlet more interested in chem then physics?

[magic inlet]

yes but the funny thing is

[dense lake]

It’s the haircut

[magic inlet]

i always score better in physics

[shadow tree]

All nat sci lecturers have to be a bit crazy

[magic inlet]

idk why

[shadow tree]

the beard

[strange cave]

didn't you say you are the favourite student of the physics teacher?

[magic inlet]

i always manage to find the answer under pressure in phy exams than chem

[magic inlet]

she didnt say it but i can tell :)

[strange cave]

so you'd enjoy EE

[magic inlet]

she loves me

[dense lake]

The haircut is well renowned to be the “Iraqi Haircut”

[magic inlet]

yeah

[dense lake]

Fair enough

[shadow tree]

Oh and the chiseled face

[dense lake]

And the lips

[shadow tree]

And he's really nice

Hol up

[strange cave]

time to cameo in one of the physics videos

[shadow tree]

Lemme get a screenshot

[dense lake]

My craziest one I had was the calc

I did more laughing than learning in his lectures

[shadow tree]

this is his outlook profile picture

[shadow tree]

Lmaoo

We had that in first year too

[dense lake]

Seems p cool guy

[shadow tree]

Very cool

[magic inlet]

i really hope i can :)

[fresh hornet]

Dang

[shadow tree]

Also like VERY well known in his field apparently

[dense lake]

I imagine @strange cave to be like him😉

Except that he’s a bit crazier

But the math aspect

Only

[strange cave]

alexv is a bot

[shadow tree]

Hes a computational physicist who works on Fortran tho😭

[strange cave]

post the link here

[magic inlet]

alexv can you tell me your linkedin

[dense lake]

If AlexV was my calc prof

[strange cave]

isn't that a very old language?

[dense lake]

Ayo?????

[shadow tree]

Yep, the most recent manual is from the 90s I think

[dense lake]

Yep

[shadow tree]

But it's fast

[dense lake]

It’s from like the 60s i think

[shadow tree]

And they run very intense simulations so every little bit counts

[dense lake]

Interesting

That’s where I think in few years will be using quantum computers instead

[shadow tree]

Oh yeah he works on qubit stuff

[dense lake]

They do already, but as they get better will be done more

[strange cave]

watch a few videos on fourier and laplace transforms, just to get an idea on what they are.

[dense lake]

That’s so cool

[shadow tree]

My friend did her master's project with him and she showed it to me but that's the only word I remember from it

[magic inlet]

alright sure

[shadow tree]

It helps if you understand them :') I still don't know what a Laplace transform does

[magic inlet]

y1 eng maths is further maths right?

[strange cave]

brush up on linear algebra

[magic inlet]

yeah i am planning to revise my further maths notes

b4 sept

so im ready

[strange cave]

if it's a respectable university they will probably cover further maths level stuff in the first week and then move on to more advanced topics :)

[magic inlet]

damnn

[dense lake]

I once met someone who uses quantum computers it to simulate chemical reactions

Then that would help them find out

[strange cave]

differential equations are also important

[dense lake]

Which is best for absorbing CO2

[magic inlet]

yeah this i have been told

[strange cave]

plants

[dense lake]

It’s really cool

[shadow tree]

Yeah they need massive amounts of computing power

[magic inlet]

anyway thanks @strange cave for the tips i'll start doing them soon :)

[fair estuary]

Gave +1 rep to alexv.xv#0

[strange cave]

😊

good luck!

[magic inlet]

thanks ! :)

[dense lake]

Yep and it has to do multiple calculations simultaneously

[dense lake]

Does bot have a PhD?😄

What was your research on if you don’t me asking

If you did or are doing that

[strange cave]

Bot is trying to learn further maths and to see if there are neat shortcuts to some solutions :)

machine learning

[dense lake]

So linear algebra?😄

[keen juniper]

as a computer scientist
i dont know why you are referring to me

we need @violet umbra

[keen juniper]

don't have a books per say as all the contents I studied were provided by my lecturer
alls I can say is
through out your study
make sure u remember circuit analysis
i dont know why you want to get ahead but stuff like signal & system and diodes you will just learn as you go
there's no need to rush
videos I watched are from organic chemist and electroboom & others

I've already done my intern as an electrical engineer
||ALL THE THEORY YOU LEARN IS SO #%$=$@||

alright thanks

[fair estuary]

Gave +1 rep to curryyama#0

[magic inlet]

damn electroboom i've heard of him

[keen juniper]

heard?

he's an inspiration

should be the sole reason you're doing electrical

[magic inlet]

honestly yeah ive watched some of his videos before

smart asf guy

[dense lake]

I thought reason you were doing it was cause dad said that there’s lots of money in it

[magic inlet]

yeah but i dont understand a thing in his videos

except some things

[noble apex]

Ikr

She said that a while back if I remember right

[keen juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/watame-anime-stare-scared-look-gif-17304804

[noble apex]

But you are the first person ik who is doing electrical

[keen juniper]

money is not power
Knowledge is

💪💪

[keen juniper]

[dense lake]

Knowledge won’t pay off your debt

[keen juniper]

believe me his videos are easier to understand than my lecturer's slide

[keen juniper]

what if I have the knowledge to evade debt

[dense lake]

Clearly do not

[magic inlet]

God damn

[strange cave]

electrical engineering is an umbrella term encompassing many different areas

https://youtube.com/watch?v=pQgxiQAMTTo

Good overview. From 14:19. @magic inlet

[wraith wave]

I self studied computing for sophomore year and my grade in it is an A (most my stuff are A*) this year

I can chose to put it in my grade 9 report Instead (it was more A and A* bc more than half of the year was online for me)

Or does it even make a difference which one it’s in?

[violet umbra]

why me

[keen juniper]

youre the chosen one

[violet umbra]

im not

i had to do discrete maths as an electrical engineer

i hate it

[keen juniper]

my OS is linux and i live not in Lahore (World's Securest Nation)
u still think its impossible

[violet umbra]

you are the chosen one

you did the intern stuff

i have done ntohing

[dense lake]

Where else do you live if it’s not lahore?
You don’t have a place to live?

[violet umbra]

gone out to invite people to lahore

dangerous mission

[keen juniper]

you will become a stronger and more powerful electrical engineerer than me
i see it in you

[keen juniper]

new delhi bro

[violet umbra]

tehn teach me

[dense lake]

Oh

You’re gonna get into more debt

[keen juniper]

aint no way
im here to evade tax

i meant debt

[keen juniper]

i have nothing more to teach you
the rest is on your shoulders

https://tenor.com/view/genshin-impact-bye-disappear-anime-gif-23578238

[violet umbra]

this

help me evade taxes debt

[dense lake]

They don’t tax the poor

I can tell you how to evade taxes though

I mean debt

Very simple
Just move to Lahore

[keen juniper]

you're supposed to be
the better me

[keen juniper]

what??
they didn't teach me this in business class

[dense lake]

the matrix don't want you to know that

[trail owl]

Okai

now

[polar copper]

yeh can now

is it valuable to do AS and A2 as a private canidate in india

[trail owl]

My replies might be a little slow btw, I'm working so apologies if I take a while

Yeah that again depends on the University you're aiming for

You can't say for certain but in a lot of cases it can be valuable, especially now, a while before, when I was doing my IGs and stuff, it was still not very accepted

but lately it's been getting more and more traction

[polar copper]

because of the current government it's isn't

[trail owl]

A levels help not just in India but also internationally, so to keep your options broad, it's a really good idea to take A levels

[polar copper]

but doing private, is that good in india

[trail owl]

Yeah, it doesn't really matter much

It's the certificate that matters

[polar copper]

i have heard not many indian uni accept private candidates

[trail owl]

there are a few subjects that require actual coursework like AS Geography and stuff and those subjects can't be taken privately because you'll need a workgroup and a school to accommodate facilities and the logistical stuff

I'd suggest you to actually contact the universities you're interested in directly

because anecdotal evidence doesn't go very far often

different people ahve different experiences and unless there seems to be a direct correlation, then take it with a grain of salt

[slow widget]

@trail owl I'm one of those guys who hate a shedule

[trail owl]

You mean a strict schedule?

I personally have very flexible schedules

in the sense that I only have goals to finish every day/week

not necessarily a super specific time to do them unless it's something that is time-sensitive like say a meeting or an interview with a client or something

[marsh dagger]

Amen to that

[slow widget]

But I know a person who leads a carefree decent life with business

[marsh dagger]

@slow widget and that is?

[slow widget]

My uncle

I've also sat in his workplace and want to take over his company once he's done

[polar copper]

u mean the one whom i know...

[slow widget]

Yes

[polar copper]

oh that's intresting

[trail owl]

Just because he makes it look easy doesn't necessarily mean it is

Or maybe he has people working under him

in which case you need good leadership skills

Whatever it is

dont take it lightly

I always say this,

Prepare yourself so you don't get overwhelmed and don't take it too seriously so you get underwhelmed

The sweet spot is when you're properly just whelmed

[marsh dagger]

'Whelmed' is my new fav word

[slow widget]

Thnx fr the advice dude

[slow widget]

business
life of ease

choose one

[polar copper]

Do we have to take physics, chemistry and maths for b tech

[marsh dagger]

@polar copper Yes

[crimson willow]

@polar copper if you want to apply for any science course in India that doesn't involve biology you need those 3

[polar copper]

I want the opposite (I don't want physics and chemistry)(bio is okay)

[polar copper]

@marsh dagger do u study in Loyola

[slow widget]

No he doesnt

@crimson willow studies there

[polar copper]

Oh got confused

[polar copper]

@crimson willow does loyola college accept A-level students who did the exam as a private candidate?

[crimson willow]

Lemme check man

[polar copper]

@crimson willow ?

[crimson willow]

Hey

I'll get back to you on Monday hopefully

[polar copper]

okay😊

[marsh dagger]

Just leaving this here to revive the channel...

[cunning snow]

oml why you flexing like this on us @marsh dagger

[marsh dagger]

😂

Why are you worried @cunning snow...you're still a baby 😂

[cunning snow]

@marsh dagger heh shush i'm 16 ok va moodu 😤

yoo but to think that i should be doing this next year is highkey terrifying

[slow widget]

@cunning snow vs @marsh dagger is one of the best classics I've ever seen 😂

[cunning snow]

@slow widget why thank you, vote for me thank 😂

[slow widget]

I think u can use better spelling

The above message by u makes no sense at all @cunning snow

@Karthik heh shush i'm 16 ok va moodu

This one 😂 😂 😂

[cunning snow]

@slow widget erfekjrfenrj it means 1'm 16 shut it 😂😂

i mean not shut it to you oml

[slow widget]

Machhi @marsh dagger inga vandu apron moodu

[cunning snow]

'i'm 16 shut it' that's what i said 😂

apron? @slow widget 😂

[slow widget]

I understand that much tamil 😂

But wat I'm saying is u must have said vaiya moodu

Instead of va moodu

[cunning snow]

no i meant like ok va moodu

[slow widget]

First get this cleared fr me wat did u mean

[marsh dagger]

@slow widget Spelling pathuko da

apron moodu...

@cunning snow gets the vote for this round...at least her spelling dosen't sound wrong

[cunning snow]

@marsh dagger hdfgjkje me is blush

[slow widget]

🙏

Guys pls refer to the above messages it would help u a lot in career advice

😂 😂

[marsh dagger]

😂😂

[polar copper]

@crimson willow what was the college's reply to my question

[crimson willow]

@polar copper I didn't

Will do tomms

[slow widget]

Dude mine too

If u can

Are there any other professional courses which don't include physics

I mean no physics at all

Cause I've already decided not to study physics

@slow widget are you in IG?

Yes

But I'm changing to nios fr my eleventh

niOS is actually a very good name for a linux distro

@slow widget

yes?

U were telling something

Based on my question

what was your question

what do you mean by a professional course?

do you mean a degree

Yes

what do you want to major in?

Computers
Business

[polar copper]

@slow widget u say that u don't want to study physics while u have the exam tomorrow

[slow widget]

I'm not talking bout tomorrow's physics

I already studied fr it

[polar copper]

💯

[slow widget]

Joke of the century

[polar copper]

@slow widget they do have b.com
