#

@coral cedar hope you found the info you were looking for

coral cedar
#

Yes I did thanks!

slow widget
#

guys uhm

#

after general medicine programme

#

it's residency right?

#

hOW DO U GET SPECIALISED BC IM GETTING DIFFERENT ANSWERS

gaunt quartz
#

what do you want to specialised in

slow widget
#

for which country?

gaunt quartz
#

diagnostic, gentics etc

slow widget
#

i think in general after med school you like rank your preferred specialties and then like according to your grades and some other stuff during med school (ie essays, recommendations) you get matched for residency

#

i want to get specialised in

#

cardiology

gaunt quartz
#

and where are you based?

#
  1. Bachelor's degree (four years) 2. Medical school (four years- two academic, two clinical training) 3. Residency in internal medicine (three years) 4. Cardiology fellowship (three to four years)
slow widget
#

well I'm doing igcses in nigeria and likely leaning to doing foundation + med school in ukraine but i'd want to get specialised in the UK or US

gaunt quartz
#

ahh its normanly the same process

slow widget
#

sites tell me different things and it's frustrating 😭

gaunt quartz
#

ahh

#

well concentrate on ir igsce for now

#

and just worry about the subjects you need for medicine at alevel- mainly chem/ bio and physic or maths

slow widget
#

i'm doing chem bio and math

#

i dropped physics

gaunt quartz
#

for alevel?

#

wait

#

how can you only take 3 igcse

slow widget
#

for gcses-

#

sobd

#

for a levels i'll do

gaunt quartz
#

i have to take 2 english, math, chem,bio,physics, business, dt and geo

slow widget
#

i do more subjects

gaunt quartz
#

ahh

slow widget
#

but theyre not relevant to medicine

gaunt quartz
#

makes sense

#

i was referring to alevel

#

you defo need chem/bio and its prefered to have physic or maths

slow widget
#

hmmmm idk which subjects i'd take 4 a level, like obvs chem bio math

#

idk which other subject i'd take

gaunt quartz
#

im gonna take chem/ bio and i wanna take politics but that doesnt have anything to do with med

slow widget
#

me still trying to figure out why my dad keeps screaming pg when all the sites tell me you're gonna need residency :

gaunt quartz
#

hahaha

#

desi parents

slow widget
#

ITS RESIDENCY RIGHT.

#

he confuses me

#

bc I'm p sure after med school you do internships, then apply 4 residency

gaunt quartz
#

yeah

#

i think so

#

lemme send a link

slow widget
#

thank you

#

bc

gaunt quartz
#

and actually for gcse - they look at them so you need to do well in them as well

#

they look at english igcse

slow widget
#

glory be to god i actually think imma pass gcses

gaunt quartz
#

thats good!!

#

heres one

#

for alevel

#

and i had another one

slow widget
#

thank you

gaunt quartz
slow widget
#

also like after medical school getting specialised = residency

gaunt quartz
#

this is for cardiologist

slow widget
#

right

#

thanks

gaunt quartz
#

yeah np )

#

(:

slow widget
#

that was great help tyty

gaunt quartz

potent violet
#

Hey so after 5/6 years of mbbs then you can become a surgeon by residency only?

slow widget
#

i made a word based on

#

my research

#

do you want it

#

what kind of surgeon general or?

distant nimbus
#

tbh if you're considering going to medical school, it's good to have an end goal in mind (your desired residency), but just remember to go into med school with an open mind, as most students will develop interests in other subjects/systems.

slow widget
#

in the uk its a little more complicated

#

according to my research

potent violet
#

Am not in either lmao

slow widget
#

which country

potent violet
#

But I think Uk is more universal?

slow widget
#

i'll research and get back to you

potent violet
#

Middle east

potent violet

#

hmm any specific country

potent violet

can you take a subject like physics for as/a levels if you didnt do it for igcses?

potent violet

you could do it over the summer tho

#

my dad is heavily insisting on physics

#

i'm shit at it though and hope my

#

school says no

solar wadi

#

medicine

solar wadi
# slow widget medicine

I mean whether you take math or physics (or both) for A level, you’re gonna study them both in med school during the first year or two. If you’re interested in US or Canada then you’re gonna have to take them too in college since they’re premed requirements

slow widget
#

I'm interested in Bulgaria it confuses me a tad bit because it doesn't mention physics in its requirements

solar wadi
#

some unis don’t require math or physics for applying just chem and bio but I’m pretty sure you will have to study biophysics and biostatistics at some point in your first year or two of med school

shadow tree
#

you will defo have biophysics

slow widget
#

okay thanks

#

hello guys

#

hi

#

hi

crimson willow
#

SSD isn't necessary imo but would help. If you can spend money on SSD, I'd recommend you get a process that shoots you up to 3.5 GHz

#

Also what about your VRAM?

dense iris
#

Hi guys! Quick question... do y’all know of any careers that combine any 2 of: psychology/ econ / business ?

wicked drift
#

@crimson willow Thanks for answering

Leave what I typed before

What are the recommended minimum specifications you recommended (to be safe in choosing)

I dont plan on installing movies and
games( maybe just few) as of now

Hopefully this would gave me a wider variety of choices and make it easier to find some of those laptops nearby

crimson willow
#

16 GB RAM
1 TB HDD
4 GB VRAM
3.5 GHz processor

wicked drift
#

VRAM?

crimson willow
#

This should be a good start

#

GFX card

wicked drift
#

Oh

crimson willow
#

GPU

#

Yeah

wicked drift
#

So ram, storage, VRAM and gpu?

wicked drift
crimson willow
#

Yes

wicked drift
#

Thanks a lot

#

Peace

#

@dense iris re ask so others can see the questions easily

wicked drift
crimson willow
#

Should be a good start yeah

wicked drift
#

Universities usually do have computer labs so hopefully I'm not gonna have to worry about picking the right right right one

crimson willow
#

But having a good build/laptop can be so useful in ways you can't imagine

wicked drift
#

What ways?

crimson willow
# wicked drift What ways?

For my case it'd be video editing/streaming. I didn't expect the pandemic, nobody did, so my rig is pretty solid with stuff like that

#

And gaming helps me ease out sometimes

#

But that's just my story

wicked drift
#

What subject or course

crimson willow
#

Yeah I needed it cuz we were doing these lectures and they needed some editing now and then

crimson willow
#

See that's the thing about uni, there's so much more than just your set of courses

#

?

wicked drift
#

You mean everyday activites

#

?

crimson willow
#

No I mean this is like student clubs or self driven stuff

wicked drift
#

Oh like testing your knowledge and having fun

crimson willow
#

Learning yeah

wicked drift
#

My requirements were just that I could study and occasionally play games on it

crimson willow
#

Yeah yeah gotchu

#

I was just making a suggestion beyond it

wicked drift
#

Yeah yeah you are older you have experience

wicked drift
crimson willow
#

I meant it's a good starting point yeah

wicked drift
#

But going forward I may have to get more storage or better graphics?

crimson willow
#

Storage idts, graphics yeah ig

#

If you have a good budget wait for the 30 series to be integrated to laptops

wicked drift
#

Yes the 30 series

#

What is that

#

Oh I searched@crimson willow

crimson willow
wicked drift
#

This if for CAD or software like that right?

crimson willow
#

I mean

#

I've seen CAD run on 2 gigs of ram

#

Just go the site and cross check the requirements

wicked drift
#

The site

#

Well I'll filter it

#

Oh wait

wicked drift
wicked drift
#

The graphics card

crimson willow
wicked drift
#

30 series

crimson willow
#

Yeah that's just raw power 😂

#

Like the top end stuff

wicked drift
#

Yeah I meant whats it for

#

Gaming, from what you typed i don't need it for CAD

#

Is what I understood

crimson willow
#

Upto ya

wicked drift
#

Sorry I was kinda afk

crimson willow
#

nw

wicked drift
#

Thanks a lot and sorry if you got annoyed

crimson willow
#

Not at all mate

#

Anytime!

wicked drift
#

Thanks and peace

wicked drift
#

@crimson willow oops sorry forget to ask you one thing

crimson willow
#

Yes?

wicked drift
#

Whats vram for

Wait did I ask this already

crimson willow
#

No you didn't

wicked drift
#

Graphics

#

?

crimson willow
#

Yeah that's it

wicked drift
#

So basically

#

Anything below that is gonna be bad for something like roblox

crimson willow
#

I mean

#

Not that bad

#

But you can't run sth like photoshop

wicked drift
#

Oh

#

You need that?

#

Wait are there any other softwares

#

Or is it just notes and notes and notes

crimson willow
crimson willow
wicked drift
#

But you will rarely use them right?

crimson willow
#

No I think matlab is essential

wicked drift
#

Matlab CAD

#

Oh ok

#

Is engineering gonna be notes and notes

#

Generally speaking

crimson willow
#

Depends on your uni man

#

But it is more applied than a science deg mostly

wicked drift
#

Wait should I even be spending time asking about this, its not gonna affect my choice too much I guess

wicked drift
#

In 1 year or more I think

crimson willow
#

Breathe

#

You have time

#

Focus on sth else

wicked drift
#

Hmm

crimson willow
#

Alright, i'm heading for dinner

#

I'll brb

wicked drift
#

Thanks no its ok

#

Lets end it here

#

Peace

#

Well first, don't worry about what other people are saying about your career choices

#

Just pursue the thing you're passionate about

knotty quartz
#

Yea if you do something that you don't like, you may do it poorly and not live a happy life

#

It's not a question of money there

Like @elfin dust said, it's about passion

fossil sigil
#

My subjects are Maths, Phy & IT & m planning to pursue Computer Science & earn a Bachelor's / Undergraduate degree in it. I want to Study in US can someone plz guide me & tell me the affordable Universities so I can continue my higher education ❓

marsh dagger
#

US universities can cost $40K-$70K per year including living expenses, and its rare that they give scholarships to international students

thin ivy
#

Interesting @marsh dagger cuz i heard that us gives the moost scholarships to international students

marsh dagger
#

Esp for undergtad

#

The lower tier colleges do give a reasonable amount, but at that point it usually makes sense to join a uni in your home country

thin ivy
#

Honestly if you are going top 20 then no scholarships but I guess its fairly easier to get scholarships in the US

I wanna do 3D modeling and stuff

#

like design

#

and photoshop

#

and some coding aswell

#

what subjects do I take?

#

For A levels

#

And in uni

#

what courses do i take

viral plaza
#

for design and all stuff take IT

#

it has photoshop as well as video and audio editing

coral cedar
#

I currently take AS levels in English math physics Chemistry IT and economics and i'm planning on taking math physics chemistry and Economics as A level for sure but don't know whether I should keep IT or not. What do you guys suggest I should do?

slow widget
#

If you like IT then keep it

#

If you feel it's gonna be an unnecessary burden then don't keep it

coral cedar
#

Oh okay but will 4 A levels be enough for university applications?

slow widget
#

where are you applying?

#

and to what program

#

it all depends

coral cedar
#

I dont know yet but im applying for engineering

solar wadi
coral cedar
#

Oh okay

solar wadi
#

although germany requires 4

coral cedar
#

Just 3? Wow thats pretty less

#

Oh okay

slow widget
#

Yeah

#

I have 4 and have experienced no problems when applying so you should be good

coral cedar
#

Oh okay also would it be difficult to do engineering without further math I wanted to do it but my school doesn't offer it?

slow widget
#

nope

#

I dont think so

coral cedar
#

Oh okay

slow widget
#

for ppl who finished AS how do yall study for that

#

my exams are just 1-2 months away

#

and i am desperate

knotty quartz
#

In Mauritius it's 2A levels and 2As minimum

#

Or 3A levels and 1 As

coral cedar
#

Ohh okay I have 4 A levels and 1 AS in english language

#

We're forced to take AS english

coral cedar
#

Idk if this is the right place to ask, but will Cambridge reduce thresholds for the May/June 2021 series? I was looking at the thresholds for the October/November 2020 series and they were significantly lower than other series.

slow widget
#

Yes

#

Most likely they will

#

Same for FM 2021

#

I think all 2021 series thresholds will be lower and then 2022 will be normal

viral plaza
#

but idts they will lower the thresholds by themselves as they did in oct/nov, cause feb march 2021 series could get high thresholds....

slow widget
#

Why would FM 2021 have higher thresholds

#

If anything they would have lower

#

It makes no sense for them to be higher

coral cedar
#

Yeah I think it'll be either the same as Oct/nov or lower

#

also how does the carrying over of AS marks to A level work?

#

do they carry over the grade or the marks themselves?

slow widget
#

Nope they aren't being carried over this time

#

If you didn't write the AS exams then they aren't being carried over

coral cedar
#

Ohh but im writing AS exams in june

#

so how will the carrying over work?

slow widget
#

Then your grade gets carried over I think

#

So if you get a C in AS and an A* in A then your final will be a high B/low A

coral cedar
#

Oh okay

#

So it depends on the thresholds of the A level exam

knotty quartz
#

Wut? Grades get carried over?

coral cedar
#

Yeah they do if you write AS exams and A level exams in separate series

gaunt quartz
brazen bolt
#

Feb March grades better b low AF for all exams pleaseeeeee

#

I pray

#

Only math can b a little high

viral plaza
#

AS subs were good, but it wouldn't be fair to just give thresholds low for oct/nov series

slow widget
#

Yaa

coral cedar
#

When do I have to write my A level board exams if I want to apply to indian universities?

fresh hornet

even my school does may june for AS and feb march for A levels

How does ur school cover the A level portions by december tho?

coral cedar
#

In one of the threshold tables I looked at for chemistry I think the November 2020 one of the combination of components mentioned 42, 52, and 85. What does the 85 indicate?

coral cedar
#

Ohh okay

#

So if the AS thresholds are low it will affect the thresholds for A2 as well?

fleet carbon
#

the total grade, not A2 itself

coral cedar
#

Yeah

#

I thought they just average out AS and A2 marks

#

But since AS grades are only until A, how are A* thresholds calculated for the final A level thresholds?

slow widget
#

Probably the actual A2 grades themselves

coral cedar
#

Oh okay thanks for the info

fleet carbon
#

no from options like 42, 52, 85

coral cedar
#

Oh okay

fleet carbon
coral cedar
#

Ohh okay

fleet carbon
coral cedar
#

so the ones which have 85 or something like that are carry over

#

So BT1 and BT2 are carry over

fleet carbon
#

these 42, 52 standalone look like that "A2-only A level"

coral cedar
#

Oh okay

fleet carbon
coral cedar
#

Oh okay

fleet carbon
#

these are probably the people who got expected grade in their AS

coral cedar
#

Yeah im doing my AS exams in june

fleet carbon
#

so their entire grade depended on A2 in oct 2020

coral cedar
#

so I have to carry over

#

Yeah

fleet carbon
#

otherwise it's mostly always the 8X/9X option codes which determine the final threshold for A* at A2

coral cedar
#

oh okay

qn is bioengineering a good career choice

more specifically BIomedical engineering thinkeyes

I would think it's still a growing job so more opportunities might become available in the future

I have actually applied to biomedical engineering but I wanna persue medicine so I likely won't go down that path

I think there is definitely a scope for it, depending on the country u wanna work in

potent violet

Instead of shadowing theres a day in life vids on yt and even recorded operations

slow widget
#

Those day in the life's rarely show the "bad" parts of the doctors job so he/she might get the wrong impressions of things. They don't show all the parts, obviously, only the ones which at the end of the day brings in views so it might be baised

#

Imo it's kinda like watching dramatised tv shows based on like doctors, obviously not to that extent but you get the point

Just my opinion

Are there any trusted websites that show you universities that have a specific course with the ranking of the university?

crimson willow
wicked drift
#

Thanks

crimson willow
#

Rankings are best an imitation tbh

wicked drift
#

I'll check it

crimson willow
#

They're written by journalists trying to understand a university

#

So I'd recommend you look at the department's work and the faculty's work

#

And the courses ofc

wicked drift
#

Well it will be useful for finding universities with the specific course

#

But are there any good (probably unbiased) websites that do have rankings@crimson willow

crimson willow
wicked drift
#

What about the famous ones

#

Websites

crimson willow
#

Yeah don't trust them is all I'd say

wicked drift
#

Makes sense

#

However I have been told by a teacher who is trying to guide me to check the rankings

#

So I guess I'll check between websites?

#

I mean number 1 here number 10 there that's a big difference

#

If you get what I'm saying

#

@crimson willow Thanks for the help, I'll check them out

im not entirely interested in physics, just too complicated and natural sciences seem over saturated imo

#

hey

#

i want to do computer science and i do igcse as level
i picked physics, chemistry, computer science and maths (only allowed 4 )
but in maths there was statistics and mechanical, i picked mechanics
is that a good choice ?

shadow tree
#

You'll do statistics next year anyway

#

Also do get roles from #798857637038915584 of the subjects you take to access the subject channels

fresh hornet
#

@sweet oracle if you do mechanics in AS level youll be doing statistics in A2 math assuming you plan on doing A2 math

#

You can also do stats in AS and mechanics in A2

fresh hornet
sweet oracle
#

@shadow tree why is that, dont i have to continue mechanical in year 13 too ?

#

@fresh hornet oh okay, but if i pick mechanics in year 12, which is as level. Dont i have to continue that for year 13 too, which is a level

shadow tree
#

Cambridge used to have mechanics 1 and mechanics 2 (along with stats 1 and stats 2)

#

But now they've scrapped mechanics 2 from the syllabus

shadow tree
sweet oracle
#

@shadow tree so in year 13 i have to to stats 2, wont that be harder as i have not done stats 1 ?

#

do you think that's a problem, or i should change to stats 1

shadow tree
#

You will be taking stats 1

#

You can't take stats 2 without doing stats 1

oh so by the end of my year 13 i will do stats 1 and mechanics 1

#

do you think thats a good choice or should i do stats 1 and stats 2 ?

shadow tree
sweet oracle
#

oh okay, that means i am good to go

#

@shadow tree thank you so much for your advice, without you i would have never known ! 🙂

shadow tree
#

No worries it's alright :)

#

Also turns out CS doesn't use much stats

#

And mech 1 is pretty easy so you'll be good

sweet oracle
#

wow thats amazing to hear

#

thanks alot

#

and by the time im in year 13 ill take help from my friends who did stats 1 so that will be easier

shadow tree
#

Yep dw it'll be fine

sweet oracle
#

i appreciate the help

What grades do US universities ask for? Do they only look at IGCSE, AS, and predicted A level results?

potent violet
#

Yea mostly, check the unis site for more specific info

#

Yeah it's all there on the website

coral cedar
#

Oh okay so my transcript I can just include my IG and AS results and my predicteds? I've heard that they require 9th grade results thats why

have you applied?

they usually have a checklist of things to upload on the portals

Nope but im planning on applying in october

Hi. I'm going to be doing my O-Levels next year 2022 any advice on how to be prepared for them - subjects picked Bio Chem Physics Econ accounts and ICT.

#

And what I could become in the future? I like ICT physics and Chem as Top 3. Idm suggestions

feral creek
#

Math and English* my bad

#

Forgot abt those ones

potent violet
#

Firstly, nice pfp lol.
Second, important thing for o levels is to remain calm and focused and to complete your work and make custom notes on lessons. The notes neednt be fancy, just good enough so that you save time in revision. Also personally id recommend making a new google account and having a new fresh youtube account and there you only watch subject related vids like fuseschool, amoeba sisters,etc these were the best revision i used and really pumped my marks up.

#

After knowing your syllabus and content then you start solving papers and then use that to see which subjects you still lack proper understanding of and then go back to revising and keep solving.

#

I feel like this should be a pinned msg but whatever lol

#

Thank you @potent violet and it really should be pinned 💯

i am wondering whether it is worth it to go for a physics as major.. i planned to take further math, math, and physics during my a level..

golden bear
#

I’d say some sort of engineering

#

@slow widget

#

Electric or mechanical engineering seems like a good choice

slow widget
#

but i wanna go for a pure physics..

#

but my family not gonna support me financially for studying.. if im taking physics as major..

#

what shld i do..

golden bear
#

@shadow tree ^

#

Mushu is the specialist

slow widget
#

they always want me to go for cs or engineering

golden bear
#

Well what I would do is apply for both pure physics and engineering

slow widget
#

is that possible?..

golden bear
#

But you apply in year 13 anyways

#

Yeah you Can apply for more courses in different unis I think

slow widget
#

like a part time course?

golden bear
#

Wdym

#

Nah you can apply for different unis and different majors

#

I mean

#

You gotta decide urself

slow widget
#

oh..

#

i tot u meant studying both at the same time lol..

golden bear
#

If you can fund your major then it’s fine

#

Or you persuade your parents to fund

slow widget
#

nah.. they won't just like any stubborn asian parents

golden bear
#

Well then you can’t really do anything

#

Then

#

Unless you get credit from the bank

slow widget
#

ok.. i will try to commit in pure physics.. see if i could get a scholarship

golden bear
#

Yeah you can try that

#

🙏🏼🙏🏼

#

Good luck

slow widget
#

thks for hearing out lol

#

you too

shadow tree
#

If you can get a scholarship that'll be amazing

#

But ngl tbvh if you wanna pay off your loan you probably want to go into engg

#

Or do math and get a finance job

#

Physics doesn't exactly make quick bank

#

But then again I'm just a first year, so I don't know a whole lot about career since I don't have one yet

has anybody here had a career in real estate? i want to find out what is involved and what subjects i should pick for my A levels

golden bear

I haven't actually had a career in real estate but I assume you should probably take maths, economics, business studies and probably psychology

slow widget
# short summit has anybody here had a career in real estate? i want to find out what is involve...

Actually for courses that aren't STEM related you can choose whatever A level you want to for example if I wanted to do business management (real estate would prolly come under that) I can take sociology biology and chemistry if I wanted, in the first year of University they'd teach u the basics anyways. But it all depends on the course ur applying to at uni not what u want as ur profession that's too far out. Make sure uk what u wanna study at uni cos there's obviously no course called real estate😂

anyone here did architecture?

Depends on where

I have a friend who's doing it

can I withdraw a single subject for the AS level exams?

depends how many u have left

Y'all need to be a little more specific when you ask questions

coral cedar
#

Like I take 5 AS levels and I already registered but I want to drop one of them so is it possible to drop it for the final exam even after registering?

fleet carbon
#

ask your school or CAIE representative such as british council for accurate information regarding this

coral cedar

Oh okay I will

I still feel like I don't know what i want to do in uni bruh i just feel like I can do any subject i want if I put my mind to it

I decided to take bio randomly and i am doing really well ( considering I had not taken it before lol). Anyways I have been wanting to do computer science but i noticed that a lot of peop are doing comp sci and I feel that i am risking my future employment by just entering it without too much passion

#

I am slowly dtarting to learn arduino by myself but idk i don't feel the " this is it ! That's what i want to die doing all my life " or any form of " this is what i want to study"

#

I know arduino does not encompass all of comp sci

#

I feel excited to learn about it but that's mainly because it is pretty simple now ( i just started ) and its somrthing new

It's comp sci in the faculty of mathematics

Yea same here... I tailored my A levels subjects with the intention of doing a law undergrad.

#

Since you seem to be science inclined, I suggest you take Math

#

It opens up anloy if options

#

Though it's solely your decision

zenith cove
#

ikr

#

my friend also suggested me to take maths

slow widget
#

ye maths

#

maths you would need for almost everything

#

highly suggest you take maths as well

#

and then you should be set for any science field

zenith cove
#

are there any disadvantages] for that

slow widget
#

most uni's in canada and the usa wont let you apply

#

they need math, its a pre-req

#

for almost all courses

zenith cove
#

oh

slow widget
#

again most

#

where do you want to go for uni

#

any ideas?

zenith cove
#

what about in other countries

slow widget
#

not sure, you would have to research a bit

zenith cove
#

i guess]

slow widget
#

no no where

#

ye for radiologist you need maths

#

imo, regardless of which country

#

its medical imaging right

#

the whole thing is based around phy and maths

zenith cove
#

i hate maths =

slow widget
#

you would need to research a bit, don't take my word for it, but I am 99% sure

#

you need maths for everything nowadays

oh ok

what about u

what are u doin

#

oh

thats good

slow widget
#

thx

zenith cove
#

damn

#

im stuck with m 3 subjectd

#

and now im confused also

slow widget
#

getting an A* in maths is very doable imo, with practise

zenith cove
#

for 3 subjects is alot of burden already

slow widget
#

honestly as you solve more and more questions you start to see a pattern

fleet carbon
#

universities are perfectly fine with 3 subjects and you should try choosing subjects according to the university you want to get into

slow widget
#

maths is a core subject

#

like you might not need english

fleet carbon
#

they will fill the gap once you start studying at the university

slow widget
zenith cove
fleet carbon
#

concentrate on those three and do your best in them i'd say

#

the way i think of it, choosing more subjects just keeps your career options open

zenith cove
#

imo i hink if i take maths also im never gonna pass with the rest 3 subjects also

slow widget
#

its doable mate, even though it depends on person to person, its very doable

zenith cove
#

CAUSE THATS gonna be a lot of burden

slow widget
#

just hope you arent disadvantaged when you apply to uni

#

due to the lack in maths

#

cause most wont even let you apply maths is a definite pre-req

crimson willow
#

^

of maths?

yes and cause of uni also

the rest of the subjects I mean

the other 3

any suggestions for a person who loves physics and math but hates chemistry ?

slow widget

#

i wanted to go into engineering

#

should i just do chemistry ?

slow widget
# zenith cove i startd

upto you then now. We have said maths is a pre-req for most uni's. research a bit more and then choose. My advice is to take maths, despite the extra work. could potentially save you from future stress

slow widget
#

if its not then no need to take chem

#

oh okay , thanksss

zenith cove
slow widget
#

aight well if you are sure that's where you wanna go then

its fine if you dont take maths

i would still just to be on the safe side

upto you tho

I would think so it has least chem

#

I think

coral cedar

Planning on doing either computer electrical or mechatronics so I just wanted to know if theres a lot of chem involved

slow widget
#

There would be very little chem

coral cedar
#

Oh okay

Not zero bit little

#

Ye

coral cedar
#

So only mechanical and chemical have quite a bit of chem I suppose?

Not sure about mechanical but yeah I would guess mechanical has a fair bit

coral cedar

Yeah

#

Are you doing engineering?

i hope this question is relevant to this channel. but anyway, how much do colleges care about internal grades when you have official cambridge reports (IGCSEs and AS levels) to submit to them as well?

#

like, would they focus more on your grades from CIE or your school?

slow widget
#

They only mainly use internal for giving conditional offers

lapis jay
lapis jay
slow widget
#

Np :)

slow widget
#

If your actual cie exams are after like when the uni has to give you an offer

#

So they give you a conditional offer

#

Based on your predicted grades that you would submit from internal exams

#

And then you would have to match those predicted grades in your final cie exams

For me I wrote papers on astronomy field.I started with a local based organization and then started networking from there and then joined national and then international organization and then research about ongoing conferences and then start a research group within a organization to write and present the research paper. I would suggest search for you real passion and join organizations accordingly and start your research. But it is a time consuming process.
