Ofc not

cunning roost
#

but it should be affordable

quiet plank
#

But certain parents arent really good with it

quiet plank
#

For a budget

#

Because US can be expensive

cunning roost
#

i have no idea what it would generally cost so unless i confirm i cant be so sure

cunning roost
shadow tree
#

ofc- tbh i never considered the option of parents moving, but some parents arent okay with you going to say australia or sth because its too far

quiet plank
#

Depends uni to uni

shadow tree
#

i think

quiet plank
#

For average unis

cunning roost
#

thats per year?

shadow tree
#

yep

cunning roost
#

or per term/

shadow tree
#

tuition only per year afaik

cunning roost
shadow tree
#

a very rough estimate

quiet plank
#

Also UK isnt any cheaper

#

Theyre expensive too lmao

cunning roost
#

so basically 60K USD for a year for other expenses

shadow tree
#

uk is around 20-23k GBP per year for any of the good unis

cunning roost
#

okay wait, tbh i am looking for some quality, like something reputed

shadow tree
#

can go upwards if you wanna go to ox or london

quiet plank
cunning roost
#

and how much would a scholarship reduce that amount to?

shadow tree
#

im just talking about tuition

quiet plank
#

Goes to 100k+ dirhams

#

For me

cunning roost
shadow tree
#

the uk doesnt really do scholarships

cunning roost
shadow tree
#

you might get 2-3k off if you get all A*s otherwise not really

cunning roost
shadow tree
cunning roost
#

the thing is, i am actually really good in leadership and co curricular activities, i have a lot of certs and stuff in those lines

quiet plank

quiet plank
#

#

Aim for a uni at ur level

#

Budget

#

And whatnot

cunning roost
#

okay okay

quiet plank
#

Dont go for dream unis

cunning roost
#

since US is off the charts

quiet plank
#

Theyre called dream unis for a reason

cunning roost
#

what about Canada?

cunning roost
quiet plank
#

Canada can be good

#

Top unis are expensive

cunning roost
#

Ive heard its good

cunning roost
shadow tree
#

#

Extra curriculars

cunning roost
quiet plank
#

@cunning roost when u take maths in AS

#

U take either mechanics or stats

#

Along with it

cunning roost
#

okay wait

#

lemme tell you all the maths

quiet plank
#

So the maths subject as one

#

Consists of

#

(Pure maths, S1/M1)

cunning roost
#

Mechanis, stats, core, pure and further pure

quiet plank
#

Thats one subject

#

One qualification

cunning roost
#

i think thats it

quiet plank
#

Yeah so when u take pure

#

U take either m1 or s1 with it

cunning roost
#

yeah

quiet plank
#

And thats it lmao

cunning roost
#

that will be counted as one?

quiet plank
#

Idk wym with a second maths subject

#

Yea one subject

cunning roost
#

wow

#

but isnt FP wayy harder than the other maths?

quiet plank
#

Its harder ofc

#

But merits

cunning roost
#

so they still dont count it?

quiet plank
#

Im p sure its valued more

shadow tree
#

if this helps

quiet plank
#

Wait mush

#

Fpm is higher valued yeah?

shadow tree
#

caie has further as a sep subj code

#

defo higher value

cunning roost
#

i do edexcel

shadow tree
#

not sure how edexcel classifies them

quiet plank
cunning roost
quiet plank
#

Since i dont think we do core anymore?

shadow tree
#

but defo further will do more for you if you can do it

quiet plank
#

New syllabus is pure maths

cunning roost
#

i think edexcel also abolished that

quiet plank
cunning roost
quiet plank
#

Lmao i mean

#

Have u done add maths

cunning roost
#

yeah

quiet plank
#

In igcse

cunning roost
#

i have

shadow tree
quiet plank
#

Ohhh

#

Add maths right?

#

Not extended?

cunning roost
#

its called

#

puremaths for IG

quiet plank
#

Howd u do in it?

cunning roost
#

edexcel

cunning roost
#

ill get grades in august

quiet plank
#

I mean if u give it time its possible

cunning roost
#

but i am guessing its a 9 or 8 grade

quiet plank
#

But it is only people who can breeze through pure maths stuff can do

quiet plank
cunning roost
#

the thing is, if that adds value for landing a chance for the scholarship, i am ready to go for it, idc how hard it gets

quiet plank
#

Im not sure about scholarships tbh

#

But adds value for sure

cunning roost
#

which country is most prone for scholarships?

quiet plank
#

Ur gonna have to ask

#

The departments

#

Of each uni

quiet plank
cunning roost
#

yeah actually i am not sure of the country so idk who to contact even if i wanted to

quiet plank
#

I mean u shouldnt

#

Look at one country in particular

#

Or one university

shadow tree
quiet plank
#

Have options

#

Backups

shadow tree
cunning roost
shadow tree
#

at least in the UK they only consider your top 3 subs

#

they dont care after that for entrance

Hello
So basically my situation is I'm planning on dropping A2 bio or chem and taking full A level business next year(this is because the uni wants a humanities subject so I need to do this) and I need advice on which one to drop like which one would be easier at A2?

#

This is caie btw

slow widget
#

i found chemistry pretty hard at a2

#

at least compared to biology

slow widget
#

How did you find A2 bio compared to AS?

#

Is it much harder or is it not that much harder?

slow widget
#

But maybe that's just me idk

#

O okay

#

No because another person on another server also said they found A2 bio easier than AS

#

So I wanted to get multiple opinions on the matter

slow widget
#

Ty btw

slow widget
#

np

slow widget
#

Well, A2 is quite easier bcos in AS level students learn to get tuned with Cambridge standards and what they expect you to write and learn. But they also struggle in AS level bcos they are quite new to the standards. By the time you understand the criteria and your brain starts to think in a more analytical manner, you enter A level and that’s y you kinda learn to surf lol

#

But...here’s one thing fella, the more your work hard, work smart and plan your year (goals) at the beginning, the more easy it becomes...then it becomes like a game

#

O alright then it should be pretty ez thanks!

slow widget
#

tbh A2 bio requires more time to study as its heavily based on ur memorising skill but the chapters are quite fun thus seem more easier compare to As. thats how it seems to me atleast.

slow widget
#

You’re welcome

slow widget
#

Well I originally wanted to do med but now I'm thinking of doing something like cs and management

#

Oh damn

#

I really didn't have a backup option for med which screwed me over tbh

#

Okay . But what do you wanna become?

#

Something like an app developer or perhaps manage some sort of cs related business

#

I'm just interested into these two fields but not sure on what I wanna do fully within them

#

Still doing my search on em

#

Hmm

#

So your two interest fields are med and CS related

#

Okay

#

Management and cs I'm no longer considering med

#

Okay

#

Caus the pathway to a med doctor is quite long and tiring tbh

#

Btw are you an undergraduate if you don't mind me asking?

#

I have just completed my A level from Cambridge

#

Oh nice

#

Hopefully you get into the uni of your dreams then

#

Yup thanks for your kind wishes bro . I wish you the same

#

All I can tell ya is to take your time ...do not hurry

#

Thank you!

slow widget
#

Bcos once you decide something which you’ll regret later...it will have consequences

#

Your future university will definitely observe your ASA together

#

True

#

But what does ASA stand for?

#

ASA means : AS and A level

#

Oh yeah true

#

We call these two level together like that

#

O okay

#

Yes

#

I just call it A levels

#

You are inAS LEVEL right bro?

#

Yeah

#

Cool

#

Done with AS mainly and going to start A2 after this summer

#
  1. take your time to decide your subjects. For this , research on net.
  2. Check the admission eligibilities of your desired universities.
  3. consult those people who are educated, know how this shit works.
  4. the most important thing is: Realise what you wanna become. Things will get clearer
#

Yeah I'll need to really consider my options here especially before doing a full A level in business caus once I go for it there is no turning back

#

Dude , tell me that you had English language in as level...?

Hi Sanko :o

Oh oh

#

Thing is my school won't offer it unless there are like 10 people taking it

#

Oh shite!

I m sorry to know that

#

And I'm the only one who was planning on taking it in my class

#

No no it's okay it isn't your fault

In that case then taking IELTS/TOEFL might be useful bc some unis don't accept CAIE IGCSE EngLang

TOEFL has a test u can take at home

#

Yeah!

#

I'm not worried about IELTS caus I can probably manage it

hey. so i'm planning on applying for biomedical sciences or biological sciences for undergrad. i was stupid enough to not take A-level chem. however, i am taking AP chem and physics. i highly doubt that ill be able to actually sit the exam due to COVID. but, i am learning it.
would unis in the UK and US be able to understand if i mentioned that i learnt AP chem and physics somewhere on my application? and perhaps attach a few work samples/tests of these subjects too or something if that's possible idk.
most of the unis i want to apply to make chem compulsory for the courses i want to take :(

I think it would be best to talk to the uni directly

Hey I don't know if this is the right channel but I got a year to do 3 A levels. Where I live I can do CIE only in MAY/JUNE and Edexcel in MAY/JUNE, OCT/NOV, JAN. Would it be better to study for the Edexcel AS level for OCT/NOV or JAN and do the A2 in MAY/JUN next year or do CIE A levels in full in MAY/JUN next year. I'm not in school and will be looking for resources online. I did IGCSE at CIE.

#

Also A levels are Phy, Che & Math

coral cedar
#

Would it be possible to apply to indian universities if Im doing my A level exams in the may june series?

slow widget
#

Kidding

coral cedar
#

like by when do universities require me to send my 12th marks?

#

Like for example if I want to do JEE can I still do my A level exams in may/june?

shadow tree
#

Not sure if things have changed but my sister did may June and she had a hard time with applications

#

All govt unis were out because of deadlines

#

Even the date when they take predicted was earlier than she could get predicted

coral cedar
#

oh the thing is my school is only offering may june so I cant do feb march

#

so do I have to take a gap year then?

jaunty kraken
#

Does doing IB make it easier to transition to University?

#

And do universities weigh it equally with A level?

ocean stump
#

I am totally undecided what I want to be... Those with strong ambitions are lucky

slow widget
golden bear
#

IB is much much harder than A levels, you might want to keep that in mind

jaunty kraken
golden bear
#

The thing is, since it’s harder it’s also harder to get the grade you want

jaunty kraken
#

I still have some time to decide

golden bear
#

3 A*s is just as hard as like 60 IB points or whatever

jaunty kraken
#

I know the subjects are way more in ib but what about content wise

golden bear
#

And also, depends on the school, on the teacher

#

If the school is much better at teaching A level than IB, ofc you’re gonna wanna do A levels

jaunty kraken
#

Yeah

golden bear
#

University isn’t as hard as you think mate, my brother is getting incredibly good grades at his university and he says that the only time you get a load of work is during exam season

#

When he didn’t have any exams, he’d hang out with his friends, go visit the UK, etc.

#

It also depends if you want to get a job while you’re at uni

jaunty kraken
#

I guess I am worrying about nothing then

#

A job would be nice keep myself preoccupied

#

I'll see how my grades turn out in August and see if I can handle Ibs workload

#

I'm Still leaning towards IB because of it offering 6 subjects which really favour s people like me who haven't got a clue on what career they want in life

golden bear
#

Yeah true

#

It depends on every person, but in general thats how it goes

#

If you actually don’t know then you’d probably know from your IGCSEs, but yeah IB offers a wider variety of subjects

#

Which also makes it harder

jaunty kraken
#

👍

Guys, I had one question regarding my exams in October/November: I am not going for the SAGs or internal assessed grades this time, so I will be giving my exams on Oct/Nov 21. I am anticipating that the results may be out between Jan 9-12. So, can we apply to US colleges or universities which have deadlines on Jan-15 or February? Because, the only thing left on my application process is the transcript, or Will I bear the loss of 1 year?

thin ivy
#

Yes. Results being released by jan 9 does not mean you start school then

olive sparrow
#

yea maybe I will miss the deadlines for top IVY league colleges that mostly have deadlines on jan-1. I can apply to colleges that have deadlines on jan -15 and feb probably.

#

or I think I should request unis to wait for my real transcript than the predicted grades

slow widget
#

Yes you won't miss anything

#

You apply in October with your AS levels and predicted grades and get a conditional offer

#

Then you give your final results when you get them in January

#

That's what ppl generaly do

#

Are these a level exams @olive sparrow ?

olive sparrow
#

yep

#

these are a level exams

#

Unfortunately because of this pandemic I didn't gave any AS exams

slow widget
#

Then you are in a very good position

#

People giving A levels in May june typically face the problem you are asking about

olive sparrow
#

like?

slow widget
#

You can apply normally when applications open in October/Nov

#

And then you can give your final grades to universities in Jan

#

You would likely get some conditional offers from some universities

#

Anyways Ivy schools don't tell you if you got in until March on ivy day

#

So you can give your updated final transcripts that you get

slow widget
olive sparrow
#

Oh so that means I can apply to IVY colleges and submit my Grades later?

slow widget
#

Yes

#

You apply with AS, IGCSE and predicted A levels

#

And then give your final A level when you get them

olive sparrow
#

Well thank you so much for explaining it so well. So, I guess I need to apply with predicted grades and then submit all my grades later!!

slow widget
#

Exactly

#

No problem!

olive sparrow
#

Phew lol! I was panicking whether I would bear a loss of a year because of my grades. Anyways thank you for saving me and my friends. @slow widget

slow widget
#

Oh ahaha np

wise eagle
#

What if I'm in AS peepoworried

#

My AS exams are in Oct so I wont get my results till January

#

And the A2 ones are in May 2022

#

So I can't apply because I won't have anything except IGCSE grades PepeHands

#

i think ull be able to apply with ur As and igcse result

#

u might get a condition offer or sum

7A at IGCSE and 4A/A* at A levels

depends on the subjects and uni requirements but generally ig more subjects are better

For people who applied to US universities, what grades did you put in your transcript?

coral cedar

like what grades did you add like did you add internal grades or just the external results from cambridge?

you dont have to do that yourself

your given predicted grades from school

based on your AS result

im 19 years old and im planning to take A level and As level in the same month cos i want to finish quickly however i feel A level is so hard and i feel unprepared that i want to take it next year so i will be 20 years old. do you think i should take it in the same month or separate (next year)

doing As and A2 can be a blessing or a curse. if ur a genius that puts studies over everything else then go for both. but if u wanna enjoy life and study aswell along side then dont do both. my friend had staright A* in olevels but he decided to do Alevels in 1year and ended up with E,E and D. so choose carefully becuz it will really be extremely difficult but not impossible

A Levels in 2 years (the standard) is already hard

AS and A Level exams were meant to be taken 12 months apart, not 12 days apart 😅

Hi im thinking of doing a levels , and i was thinking how it would be like Im starting in July, and will be graduating later in 2022. Im from Malaysia, i dont know how the rest of the world does it but my issue is im not really good in maths, so i was thinking of taking maths for the first exam, and then dropping it afterwards. Is that possible?

cinder compass
#

You mean take AS maths and then drop before A2?

#

def possible

tropic hamlet
#

how will it affect my grade? would it become irrelevant in my result slip?

sterile grotto
#

Does anyone know where I can learn IELTS on webpage

rocky finch
#

if i did good at my AS only is there available fully funded scholarship for international students

vast bramble
#

but its possible , you should probably check out what field in what university you want though , bec this is a bit specific and its hard to tell you for sure

#

So its better to refer to the requirements of the universities you want to enter and whatever field you want to be in

#

But know that its possible and i have seen people do it 👍

Applying to undergraduate medicine can be a long process. At face value, there seems to be a lot you need to consider and I remember when I was applying, I felt like I was learning as I went.

Hi just a general question, do we need chemistry for computer engineering in most of UK universities?

#

And also, is computer science required too?

tawny oak
#

I think chemistry is only a requirement for canadian universities in terms of engineering

#

I dont know if cs is required, but because UK universities focus on depth and dive in from the start of the degree, im sure cs would be useful, and so would math/further math

storm imp
#

What will be the difficulties of not taking further maths in A levels for computer engineering?

You'll learn that bit of math in year 1/2

But then we did it parallel, but got different teachers, so all that happened was I became confused

#

Either you have the same teacher for further math and normal math, and you guys do it parallel
Or you do normal 1 year and further 1 year
You could also do further math parallel with normal, if you self study

#

I have no further math teacher lol

#

so self study

guys i need some help, so basically i really want to cyber security in the future and i currently just finished my O-levels, so i was told my path is doing computer science in university and then i specialize. I have decided my country to be USA so now i need more intel on university, i did search online but its too confusing, mainly because i am looking for a uni that gives scholarships and also has a good ranking

slow widget
#

and ig if you are taking about good rankings, ig you mean the ivy's

cunning roost
#

yeah but ivy's is super hard to get in

#

so i am not sure if i should bother apply there, plus ill think about that

cunning roost
slow widget
#

hahah

#

well I can't really comment on cs

#

maybe someone else can help

#

but in general, even having great essay writing skills for like scholarship applications can go a long way

cunning roost
#

BTW i have taken 4/3 subjects for A levels,
Maths
Puremaths
Physics
Chemistry
do you think thats fine/enough if i get 4A* or 3A* and like a A

slow widget
#

for scholarships you defo need 4A*'s ye

cunning roost
#

ohh

#

buts its FPM

slow widget
#

all A*'s basically

#

FP?

cunning roost
#

yeah

slow widget
#

ohh k

#

yeah still i would think so

cunning roost
#

so 3A* and a A?

slow widget
#

all A*'s

#

4 A* would boost ur chances

cunning roost
#

yeah for sure, that will be my aim right from the start, but honestly FPM is not easy at all so lets hope for the best

slow widget
#

ye

#

Definitely not easy

#

gl man

cunning roost
#

and any tips about essays or anything in those lines, basically anything you know with your experience that will help me?

cunning roost
slow widget
#

i would say just be yourself in your essays

#

don't write about what you think the admissions officer want to read

#

just express yourself through your writing, how you are irl

#

that helps

cunning roost
#

for sure, that was one thing i was gonna remember while writing but now since you said it, ill stick a note saying that in the room just so i dont drift away

slow widget
#

yee

#

and if you need someone to proofread it, you can send it over i can take a look

thanks a lot

cunning roost

ohh, and general how difficult is the real exam?

#

did you do the subject SAT or the normal maths and english one?

its not that hard, for sure, there's a specific pattern of questions

  • essay
cunning roost
#

ohh okay, and do you know anything about the subject SAT

once you get a hang of the pattern you can crack it

cunning roost

#

maybe

cunning roost

I am sorry but I actually need really quick advice

Basically I want to become a hardware developer(hardware designer)

but I am not sure

If i should choose Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science

heheeh

crimson willow

Try looking at the curriculum of the courses, it'll help

I took PCMB in my AS rn

storm imp

I see

#

As of now I’m keeping my options open as well between medicine related and computer science related fields

#

So will you advise me to take bio chemistry physics and maths for AS level?

fresh hornet
#

You could do comp sci as well if you want

storm imp
#

I see

#

But then it would be 5 subjects already

But ok I will see

thats doable

#

5 subs in AS

storm imp

Thanks for the info

#

Oh

slow widget

ye

#

in AL it becomes harder

fresh hornet

Are you gonna take English

Coz then itll be 6 subs technically

dont take english in both AS and A tho

warm panther

our school has English general paper

oh if you are staying in india general is fine

but abroad

general is not accepted in many places

warm panther

oh is it

I didnt know that

fresh hornet

Yeah only take AS English

warm panther
#

but thats the only thing our school offers

slow widget
#

yeah

warm panther

I think

A English is if you wanna become an author or something

you can even take AS english with ur other A level subjects

just dont do both AS+A english

Canada is decent too

In the end depends on the subs you take and the grades you get in them

I started my a levels and it’s been a month, didn’t have good as levels so I’m going to be retaking them. Anyways, I also switched to sciences and with no background in chem I struggled, barely understanding my a level classes, so what I’m thinking is that either I drop A level chem and have an AS certificate and that would mean I have 2 AS 2 A levels. Or I give my AS retake in feb March and A level in May June. I’m worried if I take this route I won’t be able to apply for fall 2022, since I will recieve my chem results in august

@sullen fractal maybe submit your predicted grades, and then wait to see if the uni will give you a conditional offer?

When’s the latest I can send my grades after receiving a conditional offer

i think it depends on the uni

I need to know the best job opportunities i'd get from taking the following subjects in my A levels :-
Physics and Chemistry or
Math and Chemistry
Oh and another thing.
If suppose i take two subjects (this October) which doesn't have math, I get into a uni around Jan or later, study something related to those subjects but i give my math exam next May. Would i be able to shift to another department or something? Like if i later want to study CS or something related to do that. Would that affect my credits? Would that be a loss?
Please don't suggest me to take Phy and Math this October. I'm not choosing this combination for a specific reason at the moment

golden bear
#

Physics and maths.

wise eagle
#

She literally said don't suggest that

rigid meadow
#

im a she

slate relic
#

which is not the advice you asked for, but it's good to keep in mind

rigid meadow
#

with those combinations of subjects

slate relic
#

just 2 a levels?

#

also depends where ur applying. if you take math and chemistry you could look to go into engineering though i would think that required 3 a levels. similar thing with physics and chemistry; you could go into something like chemical engineering potentially. if you take maths then data science is also an option though it may be preferable to have CS as a subject if you apply to the UK

slate relic
#

no worries!

#

might be better if an undergrad has input though

Hi. When is it advisable to take A level statistics and when is it advisable to take A level mechanics?

Does biomedical engineering require more of statistics or mechanics?

yup, did that too

good to have an idea of both

storm imp
#

oh

#

but which one would you advice to take first?

shadow tree

Doesn't really make a difference

Since you're doing physics, it'll make mech a piece of cake in A2 since you'd have covered everything in AS physics

mechanics is like detailed version of the first few chps of physics in AS

Statistics in A

we even have option if we want to take maths in the forst place or not
