I want to be a drug dealer...should I go to university for this!!?!?!?!?

[ember orbit]

@torpid radish I would suggest going for bio chemical degree, so you will hopefully end up deciding not to

and if you plan on being a drug dealer despite that, remember to hook me up with some meth, heard it helps with math

(im joking)

[fresh hornet]

Lmao he was jk

[ember orbit]

not necessarily, depends on the drugs, licences

so yeah it could not be a ethical violation as well

[rancid ocean]

is ACCA is good choice?

[manic sapphire]

indeed, it is but tough one

i mean not that tough but v less amount of ppl pass ACCA exams

[rancid ocean]

Ah. Thank you

Does it get paid good?

[sullen fractal]

I don’t really know how employment works, I want to do aerospace engineering and it pays well NA and decently in EU, How hard would it be to land a job in Canada if I go to uni in EU?

[visual robin]

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask but to become a self taught programmer do you guys recommend buying some course online or learn from youtube? like freecodecamp
I am so lost right now because my parents don't really have that money for me to go to college as they are funding for my 2 sisters for their college + house debt and other stuff 😵‍💫

[fresh hornet]

There is a free course on Coursera called Python Programming:A Concise Introduction

The course is free but to get the certificate you have to pay

It's a very good introductory course taken by a professor from Wesleyan University

[visual robin]

ok I will go check it up thanks!

[manic sapphire]

depends

[rancid ocean]

What's the better choice. ACCA or CIMA

[manic sapphire]

dont know what is CIMA is

lemme check

@rancid ocean alright so i think ACCA is better in my opinion, cuz it focus no tax stuff. whereas CIMA focuses on the management and strategic aspects of a business.

i think management and strategic of business kinda not a big deal for ACCA

now choice depends on u mate

[manic sapphire]

i think its not really worth buying a course unless the certificate worth alot, honestly i learned basic programming from youtube. if u go for a paid course ull learn the same thing but advantage is ull get the certificate. Y dont u learn from youtube and then give some kinda exam and take certification. I think thats the best option.

[visual robin]

ah ok thanks

[manic sapphire]

nws man

[candid drift]

Are there any valuable careers with Math physics and IT

[slate relic]

you can go into CS or engineering

[candid drift]

I don't wanna take chem n this the onky other option I have

[slate relic]

wdym by valuable career? what do you wanna do

[candid drift]

Tryna figure that out lol

What eng disciplines r there

Just cs related?

[slate relic]

maybe aerospace? not sure if it requires chem

data science too though that's more maths heavy

i would say take CS over IT though for any of those

[candid drift]

Hmm do u know if I can find a guide book that has all the disciplines listed for a lvls

I'm not into programming tbh

Im thinking of doing an aviation course after grad

[slate relic]

no idea

but cool and good luck!

i would say one thing, don't start thinking about grad school in high school... especially not at ig since things change a lot

[sullen fractal]

I want to do aerospace engineering and preferable work on planes/aeronautics part. Some unis offer aeronautical so Should I major in aerospace or in aeronautical? Worried that aeronautical would be too specialised and I’ll be limited in job opportunities

[rancid ocean]

Can you send me a good basic video? If that's possible

[manic sapphire]

which language? check freecodecamp on YouTube

hopefully ull get the full free course

but wont get any certificate or something

[slow widget]

English

[manic sapphire]

what 😂, ngl if u find one. then do let me know as well. lol

[slow widget]

Sorry I don't code

[manic sapphire]

soo no English course?

[slow widget]

Lul

[manic sapphire]

yea lul, we dont know inglish:)

[sleek vortex]

hi currently I'm doing AS phy, bio , math and accounting. I don't have a clear idea of what I want to do, where I wanna go, what unis I want to apply to...u get the point. but I still wanted to keep my options both in the sciences as well as businessy stuff. I haven't taken chemistry despite being not so bad at it for igcses because I've seen both my siblings crumble and eat shit for A-level chemistry. I've been told that it's not really that crucial for bio fields or engineering either. But I still feel like I'm sabotaging myself because i also hear that unis and such fields see chem as a requirement. could I please get some insight as to how un/important it could be in the future and whether or not I'm making a bad move by not taking it???

having a crisis rn help

[golden bear]

welcome to the club

[tight brook]

Imo, really depends on what you wanna do. Remember that university isnt the only option you can take yea, but if you do plan on going, try to get a feel of which career/degree really suits what you enjoy/wanna do. You can do this by going to just any large uni's page and looking at the degrees they offer. Anything that piques your interest, click and take a look at the syllabus content and see if thats something you're interested in learning, and then look at the career prospects.

[manic sapphire]

syllabus hmm... is it if full legit syllabus like Alevels etc

or just an idea

[tight brook]

Usually the university will post the degree syllabus on their website and u cn look at what theyre gonna teach u

[manic sapphire]

hmm interesting, i didnt know about thatXD

need to check

[tight brook]

oooh

now u know, important to check that before deciding on a degree

and uni

[manic sapphire]

yea i mean i know there was a syllabus but didnt know about full kinda syllabus stuff, thx thx

[shadow tree]

You'll get a list of modules and course structure

And each module should have a syllabus and / or list of learning objectives

[manic sapphire]

ohh yea list learning objectives, great way to highlight that but syllabus is not there list is there

exactly list

[shadow tree]

First of all, that doesn't make a lot of sense
Secondly it varies between unis and countries so it really depends

[steep horizon]

Anyone here with knowledge about Geoinformatics Engineering?

[storm imp]

Is it advisable to take computer science in A Levels if I am planning to pursue biomedical engineering?

[manic sapphire]

Anyone giving CS, Maths, Phy and eco in AS??

all 4 subjects? do consider tag:)

[slate relic]

does it have to be this specific combo only? i took 3/4 - CS, maths, and phy

if you have a question it might be better to ask the question directly - people not fitting this specific criteria might still be able to help you

[manic sapphire]

what do u mean 3/4?

[slate relic]

three out of the four you named lol

i didnt take econ, i took chem

[manic sapphire]

i c, so can u study all 4 subs??

[slate relic]

in case that's of any help, or are you looking for info on that specific combo

wdym?

[manic sapphire]

i mean are u able to manage time stuff and able to get good marks with 4 subs?? cuz i think its really really hard giving 4subs, i was planning to give all 4 subs private

[slate relic]

oh alr i see

well it's definitely a shitload of work, but i did really well at AS alongside a bunch of other commitments, so it's definitely possible. you just really have to grind and work out a time management schedule. i dunno abt private since that's not what i did but in terms of taking 4, you definitely can do it

[manic sapphire]

sounds really hard tho

[restive delta]

I didn’t take the same subjects but taking 4 AS subjects is quite doable
Then if u want u can drop a sub in A2 since u will be familiar with the content and difficulty level, and maybe be more sure on what uni requires

[manic sapphire]

yea, i will drop 4th sub in A2 maybeXd

[restive delta]

I didn’t personally, but many ppl in my school did, u can give a try in the beginning if u can manage 4 subjects, if not, then u can drop one in the first term and do that later privately

[manic sapphire]

i need to study 6hrs or more ig, honestly depends

[restive delta]

Depends from person to person, I did school+ 2-3 hrs study skipping on fridays and half thursdays 😄

[manic sapphire]

daamm

[restive delta]

Of course not the exam night “:)

[manic sapphire]

i feel like ill go for it, but i will struggle

[manic sapphire]

thats the most painful moment

thx for info @restive delta @slate relic 🙂

ill give a shot

[restive delta]

Don’t worry, at first it might look difficult but u can manage it, good luck!

Just never stop practicing past papers, and you will be good to go.

[manic sapphire]

thx alot

[slate relic]

nw, definitely difficult but doable

[candid drift]

What career pathways can I get into with AS/A level math physics and ICT other than computer science

We do have an option for computer science but I'm more willing to go into the engineering side of things but my chem in gcse was quiet average

[slate relic]

you can go into data science or anything math related

astrophysics and the like as well if your physics is strong

[visual robin]

sus

[torn estuary]

Guys I need help

I've seen my igcse grades and there not good

I want to take computer science major in university however my choices for A levels are limited

I've already taken Computer science , ICT and chemistry but I cannot take maths since I I not get the minimum requirement for it

Any advices?

[golden bear]

Well you have to retake your IGCSE Maths

And get the requirement

For computer science maths is really important so you need to get a good grades on it

[torn estuary]

@golden bear can I go to a university with a passing maths gcse but not A levels maths?

[golden bear]

Depends on which uni, but for computer science most, if not all, require a level maths

[torn estuary]

@golden bear in my school if I resit maths again and pass with a high grade that means I'm supposed to take maths a level the next year

[golden bear]

If you get a high mark it enables you to take a level maths

[torn estuary]

However , my parents wants me to go to university as soon as I get my A level results

[golden bear]

No, you don’t take maths in one year

[torn estuary]

I know but my parents thinks year 13 is a waste and it's better to go to university as soon as possible

[golden bear]

So you want to do your a level in one year?

All of them?

[torn estuary]

Yes

[golden bear]

If you revise properly and get a higher grade for your IGCSE (the retake is in October)

You can do a level maths in a year

You take your IGCSE maths in October and a level in the summer

[torn estuary]

October this year?

[golden bear]

Yeah

[torn estuary]

Where can I retake it?

[golden bear]

You need to ask your school

[torn estuary]

Oo OK boss

[golden bear]

Oh my

God

No way

[small turtle]

Thanos ban @neon wing scam

[torn estuary]

If I pass my maths can I take a level maths as soon as i finish

[vast root]

🔨 Banned Ahmed_7#2287 indefinitely

[golden bear]

Yeah

[torn estuary]

I'm afraid that won't be possible for my school

Cuz they want to do everything in a year 1 by 1

@golden bear what major do you think I can get?

[golden bear]

With only CS, ICT and chem?

[torn estuary]

Yes

[golden bear]

To be honest idk

You’d have to check

[torn estuary]

Do you want to see my gcse grades?

[golden bear]

I’m sure there’s some

Nah I’m good

[torn estuary]

Ayt

[torn estuary]

I couldn't find any

[golden bear]

Keep looking

Maybe @shadow tree knows 👀

[shadow tree]

why am i summoned

CS and IT together are a bit pointless imo

also yeah if you wanna do CS in uni you need maths, not so much CS

and three a levels in a year is next to impossible

ik a friend who did one a level in a year and lost sanity

[small turtle]

oh

isnt 3 normal

[golden bear]

…

Ducky.

[small turtle]

what

[shadow tree]

in 2 years yes

[golden bear]

Allow me to escort you out of this chat

[small turtle]

bruh what

most people i know took at least 3

[small turtle]

[shadow tree]

yessir

but they want to skip year 13

[golden bear]

The man wants to take 3 a levels in ONE year not TWO

[shadow tree]

^

[small turtle]

as + a2?

[shadow tree]

yes

[small turtle]

ohhh

right

yea mb

[golden bear]

🤦‍♂️

[small turtle]

that is impossible

[golden bear]

😂

[shadow tree]

ye

[small turtle]

sowwy

[shadow tree]

you'll likely have to do a foundation year which isnt a bad option imo other than the expense

[frozen crow]

i need help

i passed all my igcse

but the thing is that i got A in math by luck

i should have gotten a C if the grade boundaries were normal

i want to do cs in a level

but i dont want to take math

what do i do

[slate relic]

you can take CS a level without doing math...?

it's not a prerequisite

but if you want to do CS as a career then you 100% do need math so

[frozen crow]

i can but the thing is i will need it for uni

[slate relic]

study

[frozen crow]

i suck at math

I got a A by luck

[slate relic]

that's why i said to study

how else will you get better

[frozen crow]

its not that simple 😮‍💨

[slate relic]

It literally is 🙏🙏🙏

[frozen crow]

i was always bad at math since grade 1

[slate relic]

have you tried improving

[frozen crow]

yes

[slate relic]

like idk what to tell you there's no other option

you just have to work on improving your math

[frozen crow]

is it possible to go A level math when my gcse stuff is shaky

[slate relic]

i mean yeah if you passed then you can take it but you will struggle i guess

[frozen crow]

ok 1 more qn

whats the diffrence between information technology, btec ict and cs

@slate relic

[slate relic]

IT and CS just teach you different things

idk much about IT since i don't take it but i know the course content is just different

less programming and such i would presume

idk anything about btec ict so i can't help you there

[frozen crow]

ok thanks

[slate relic]

anytime

[quiet bronze]

hey does any1 have any advise should i choose if i love math and physics?

[slow widget]

Theoretical Physics

AstroPhysics

Anything-Physics maybe

[quiet bronze]

oh ok tyy

[static stratus]

Hey umm is actuarial science hard? And what subjects does one need in A'level to pursue it?

[shadow tree]

@night egret ^

[night egret]

i never even take actuarial science

[wise eagle]

what degree are you doing?

[night egret]

not in uni yet

but planning to take act sci

[wise eagle]

wtf

so you're doing all that math stuff before uni

so actuarial science has all that math?

[night egret]

wat math stuff

[wise eagle]

extremely advanced math stuff

[night egret]

...i guess so

[wise eagle]

alright so I'll stay away from it lol

[static stratus]

Oh and @night egret since umm u r like math pro any math competitions for international participants?

[night egret]

world math invitationals

[torn estuary]

Is there any majors in uni that you can do with computer science , business and chemistry a levels

I prefer something that is easy to learn

[slow widget]

"easy to learn" 😭

unfortunately this is university, nothing is easy

[slate relic]

well you can't really do CS at uni without maths

so maybe something business related

a lot of engineering requires physics and / or maths too afaik

"easy to learn" that doesn't exist at this point you're going to uni

[slow widget]

you need maths for everything nowadays

[slow widget]

[torn estuary]

@slate relic I failed maths so I can't do anything about it now so I need to do something about the majors I'm gonna pick

[slate relic]

like i said, without maths you can't go into CS and probably not eng either so your best bet might be something business

either that or you retake

[jagged halo]

idk if this is the right channel for it but if im taking A2 math for oct/nov what day/month should i have the syllabus done so i can start with full past papers?

[torn estuary]

@slate relic for short I basically have to graduate school with A levels math

Alright got it

[slate relic]

in an ideal world, the end of this month

or before that

so you can have more than a few weeks of full papers

but A2 maths is hefty so it makes sense if you're only doing them for like 4 weeks

[slate relic]

uh, no, i just said that for 2/3 of the subjects you have, careers directly related to them require maths

[torn estuary]

@slate relic in ur opinion what's more math related Computer science or IT

[slate relic]

neither of those are careers

those are subjects

which are not maths

[jagged halo]

i see, my teacher hasn't even started statistics yet but we finished pure 2 and might finish further algebra pure 3 today

[torn estuary]

Ik but for me to be able to pick my majors I need to at least be able to do one of those and those subjects require math gcse

[slate relic]

oh, huh. we did pure and stats simultaneously so that might slow you down a bit. i guess by the end of sept maybe?

[slate relic]

i don't understand what you're asking me

are you asking for major suggestions or for help with choosing subjects

[torn estuary]

Both

[jagged halo]

well math wont begin till oct 27 so there might be a bit of time

thanks

[slate relic]

well what do you want to do in future

[torn estuary]

Whatever subject I pick for A levels will determine what majors I'll be able to pick

[torn estuary]

Something computer related

[slate relic]

no worries

uhhhhhhh in that case you might just have to retake maths

i cannot think of any CS major that doesn't require maths

might be wrong but

[torn estuary]

Damn everyone have been telling me to do that

[slate relic]

comp eng, comp sci, data sci, all of it is pretty maths heavy

and if you do retake maths then i suggest you take CS over IT

[torn estuary]

I took CS already

But my problem is just the maths since I'm unable to take it because I got a grade bad grade

[slate relic]

what year are you in?

[torn estuary]

And the grade that I got is not able for me to take maths A levels

[torn estuary]

I'm going to yr 12

[slate relic]

also #roles

okay

well i dunno how ig retakes work but if you really do plan to do something cs in the future i dont think you have any options that arent maths inclusive

[torn estuary]

Damn ok

Thanks

[slate relic]

anytime

[shadow tree]

you can do it privately, the retake at least

[torn estuary]

@shadow tree True but it requires alot of money

[shadow tree]

doing it at school and at a private centre should cost the same

if anything private is cheaper

[torn estuary]

school is free but doing it externally will cost quite alot of money

and since its going to be nov/oct i would not have much time to study all the required materials

[shadow tree]

You still have to pay to sit final exams tho

[torn estuary]

well if its externally then yes

[shadow tree]

Even in school

Unless they include it in fees or something

[torn estuary]

nah i dont have to pay anything in school

[shadow tree]

Dunno they probably include it in something else then

But yeah that cost might go a long way for your career if you choose

[torn estuary]

true

[willow horizon]

Hi

I wanna do sm in med but not sure wht...any advice?

[slate relic]

what subjects do you take? and is there something you are interested in, inspired by, know anything about, etc?

[willow horizon]

I'm going to grade ten next week, I take eco,acc,bio,Chem,phy,add math,math,eng,fre and lit

[slate relic]

#roles

and yeah i cant help you i dont know much about med then :/

[serene ruin]

One question guyz what If I take IT BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS in ALEVELS will it be a good choice,
Your comments plzzz

[slate relic]

well it depends on what you want to do after school?

[serene ruin]

Basically I took igcse all sciences but I find myself not in science field and I might change subjects in Alevels so that's, y I'm asking it

[slow widget]

if you want to take it, take it

o

it might be tough for you?

but many ppl change after igcse so its doable

[serene ruin]

Hmm

[slate relic]

you can change after gcse but the thing is, what do you want to do later on? all subjects are good objectively obviously but are they relevant to what you want to do and more importantly, do you enjoy them

[serene ruin]

Let's c when I take it r8

IT is almost same as ICT

And for economics it's somehow related to statistics and I got B though

[slate relic]

i dont know what this means

whats your question lol

[serene ruin]

business can be done without igcse

[slate relic]

yes

so what's the question?

whether it's worth it?

or

[serene ruin]

What about the concepts how hard is it for business igcse

[slate relic]

might be better to ask that in a business channel itself

[serene ruin]

Oh f9

Tnx

[slow widget]

Do you think a degree in finance from a UAE university would be recognised in the US?

I'd presume so considering that the unis here offer pretty good modules from what I can see

[fiery yarrow]

Yes just choose the right university

[slender jasper]

Could I get into biochemistry or biomedical engineering courses despite not taking math in my a levels?

[slow widget]

biochem maybe yes, biomedical engeoeering no

math is required for everything nowadays, really depends on your uni

[slender jasper]

welp should have picked math

[restive delta]

heyy, ofcourse it depends on you but I would like to add the fact that they are quite expensive and i have heard that student population isnt the greatest.

[slow widget]

Hey doctor!!!

Guess what?I also decided on med lmao

[restive delta]

woah, now thats sudden

[slow widget]

That was a couple of hours ago now

[restive delta]

haha, ur still in A2 right? so u have a year

[slow widget]

Tbh I changed my mind and continue to do so a lot but I'm sticking with med

I'd enjoy it I'm pretty sure

And yeah I have a year true

[restive delta]

yeah, its a long process but worth the wait!

[slow widget]

Oui oui

So you're going to Turkey for med?

[restive delta]

not really... i was offered scholarship (not full) but its still kinda unaffordable because there are other expenses add up like the visa, dorm ...

so prolly my home country

(In Sha Allah)

[slow widget]

Ah yeah that's unfortunate but I wish you all the best!!

[restive delta]

thanks! you too

[slow widget]

ان شاء الله

[wise eagle]

oh my counsellors told me that Turkey is cheaper than Pakistan

[slender jasper]

lol

in private?

[restive delta]

not really for medicine until u get a heavy scholarship, and in some cases, yes! pakistan's self finance fee is a bt higher than turkey's

but the good thing is that turkey does offer scholarships

while pak doesnt like to fund its own students

[slender jasper]

i should look into scholarships tbh

[wise eagle]

I wanna leave this country

[restive delta]

yea try ur luck!

[slender jasper]

i just want to go into a relatively good science uni

but there's none in pak

[restive delta]

can u blv kemu is around 7000th position?

[slender jasper]

what would i need to improve my chances/broaden my range of unis?

[slender jasper]

wtf

[restive delta]

yea check it urself

thats the top in pak

[slender jasper]

so basically if im going abroad im already getting a better deal?

damn

[restive delta]

there are a few families who dont wanna send their kids alone, if ur over it, why not?

[slender jasper]

oh

my

god

[restive delta]

yea, hate to see that

[slender jasper]

wait country rank 66?

wtf

i feel like theres some error there but i don't think it's big enough to knock it too far down

[restive delta]

idk but thats what google says

[slender jasper]

welp time to give sat after mdcat and try my luck i guess

[restive delta]

do check tho, cuz in turkey where i applied didnt require sat

[sullen fractal]

You guys should look into Germany, you don’t pay tuition fees in public unis, depending on the course, you will need to know little German if ur lucky

[knotty quartz]

Hi guys, what jobs can I get with a degree in "maths with computer science", here's a pdf with the programs modules

[shadow tree]

Looks like you're doing a lot more maths than CS

But I assume you'd be eligible for CS jobs

[slate relic]

data science, in that case

[knotty quartz]

OK thank you.

[storm imp]

Is it advisable to take BMAT, SAT, ACT, MCAT, BTEC and ILETS as additional examinations along A levels for biomedical engineering?

[slate relic]

all of them?

[storm imp]

yea

[slate relic]

no

lmao

[quiet plank]

U dont need all of them

Lmao wtf

[slate relic]

bro what are you gonna do with sat AND act

[quiet plank]

Jus check the unis requirements

[slate relic]

first of all where do you plan to go

if its not america then forget both SAT and ACT

[quiet plank]

All possible university entrance qualification speedrun any%

[slate relic]

ielts you may need depending on the uni

[small turtle]

lol imagine doing all of them

biggest flex material

[shadow tree]

What's MCAT and BTEC?

[restive delta]

MCAT is an international test for medical colleges

[slow widget]

BTEC is what they do in Scotland as a higher education qualification I think

[shadow tree]

I don't see why you need that along with A levels then.. it'll be considered an equivalent

[storm imp]

SAT is general but ACT is subject specific right?

[storm imp]

MCAT is medical college admission test and BTEC is Business and Technology Education Council

[slate relic]

no

[storm imp]

They both are assessed on the same thing?

[slate relic]

both are just general standardised tests that assess your overall knowledge of eng and maths (the act also has a science section)

imo they actually test your test-taking skills more than anything else

[quiet plank]

Both are a waste of time and should be abolished

[median pasture]

Does anyone know of good career guidance quizzes?

Preferably free...

[thin ivy]

None

Don't waste your time on this

Just start looking at careers based on the subjects you took and interests you have. Email professionals / professors in the field. Research the career pathways that are present and which ones are lucrative

Start by listing out what jobs you know / are familiar with then branch out once you know what you want to or don't want to do

[quartz kelp]

if i wanna do law should i take arts instead of sciences? im thinking of keeping sciences in a level

[slate relic]

i don't quite understand your question

what do you mean keeping sciences in a level

[quartz kelp]

like chem phy bio

[slate relic]

yeah, what about them

like are you asking whether you should drop them?

[quartz kelp]

yess

[slate relic]

okay well you should definitely check the subject requirements for law

as far as im aware you have to take a humanity and english at least

or something like that - so i don't think it'd be possible for you to take all the sciences

i have a friend who just got into uni for law and i can ask them what they took, but it would actually be better if you specifically looked up what subjects you needed for law

for ex. to study comp engineering you need cs, maths, phy, and chem in several places

[quartz kelp]

please ask them for me ill also research some more about it thank youuu

[slate relic]

wait mb sorry my friend actually didn't do a levels 😭 he did igcses and a foundation year, and is now going to study law a year early

i can still ask him if he knows the subject requirements though and i will!

[quartz kelp]

suree btw im thinking of doing law from pakistan

but thank you once again

[slate relic]

oh that case i have absolutely no idea it might be very different to the requirements for the UK/US/canada and i would definitely advise looking it up

[quartz kelp]

yeah i realized that lmao i’ll research abt it thank u

[slate relic]

nw

[severe lily]

Hey I’m an international student taking math , English and physics a levels however I still need an AS (which is year 12). I’m stuck between chemistry and computer science. I’m not the best at chemistry but I heard it opens doors. Any advice ?

[slate relic]

do you have any ideas what you want to do in future?

for anything engineering related chemistry is likely the better option

[knotty quartz]

Is a holder of a software engineering degree compatible for a cybersecurity job?

[marsh dagger]

if you can learn the skills needed for cybersecurity outside of college, then yes

[chilly sapphire]

Yo what do u suggest between computer , industrial and electrical engineering?

[slate relic]

well, what do you want to study / go into as a career

[chilly sapphire]

Well i wanna go for computer but i ve bee told that if i dont rlly like dont put myself into it

[slate relic]

when it comes to career choices esp ones that are somewhat similar it's a matter of what you enjoy really

[chilly sapphire]

True

[slate relic]

id suggest maybe found some research into possible careers in those fields and figuring out which one is closer to where you see yourself in the future

[wise eagle]

that's what people keep asking me

where do I see myself in the future

I have no idea

[ember bay]

How do i polish my medicine application

im gonna be applying to UK

[slow widget]

Very interesting question

[median pasture]

Does anyone know any radiologists?

how was the course and is it stressful?

[grand jacinth]

does anyone know about cyber security/ethical hacking?

[slate relic]

what about it

[grand jacinth]

im into cbse 12th grade gonna be graduating in a few month so which degree should i go for?

[slate relic]

where do you plan to apply?

also if you're in 12th grade you are not doing ig

[median pasture]

Ignored

hehe

[slate relic]

sorry idk anything abt radiology :(

[median pasture]

Hehehe

jk

[median pasture]

thnx tho

[grand jacinth]

but bro the portion is the same what im studying rn

and if im in 9th in cbse board im prolly like 10th or 11th in igcse board

[slate relic]

igcse = 9th and 10th in cbse

you're an A2 level student

[grand jacinth]

what's a2?

[slate relic]

a level

12th class exam in the british system

[grand jacinth]

ah ok

could u help me out in #ig-maths ?

[slate relic]

i can't atm but i'm sure someone else can, and you can ping math helper

[grand jacinth]

oh

what's the ping?

nvm i got it ty

[dry scroll]

hi....student aspiring for medicine here....
any private candidate here?
or any private candidate gone to med school here?

[slate relic]

do you have a specific question? if you do it might be better to just ask it

[jagged halo]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[manic sapphire]

AYO GUYS i messed up alotXD i legit need help, so basically i did my Cambridge IGCSE, now my school changed to Edexcel and i have to do Alevel Edexcel now so will it affect me in future uni?? or should i change my school? + school dont have CS at a level, i have to take IT or give CS private which is hard so can u do BA in CS if I have IT at alevel?

[shadow tree]

You won't have any problems because of the board change

The requirement to do CS in uni is mainly just math

And idk why you'd wanna do a BA in CS.. but okie

[wise eagle]

why not

[manic sapphire]

i mean Cambridge to Edexcel is like Olevel to IGCSE, ppl around me is like ill have problem in uni

[manic sapphire]

ayo ppl judge this 😂

[manic sapphire]

then its fine if i have IT with maths?

[shadow tree]

A BSc makes perfect sense but a bachelor of arts in CS?

[wise eagle]

ohh I didn't notice that lol

[shadow tree]

It is yeah, but check the reqs of unis you wanna go to just to be sure

[wise eagle]

what's the difference?

[shadow tree]

It's the same thing

[shadow tree]

Ones an arts degree and the other is a science degree- I assume the content will be wildly different

[manic sapphire]

then i think i should continue my ALevel, but ppl are legit like Edexcel is easy regarding marking and all

[shadow tree]

Edexcel and Cambridge both offer A levels and internationally they're equivalent

[manic sapphire]

im still worried

[slate relic]

there's no reason to be

i switched from edexcel to cambridge in the middle of my igs and it has not made any difference apart from me having to work a little harder to catch up

and i switched to edexcel again this year for further maths

like it literally doesn't make a difference

[manic sapphire]

so u did Cambridge ig? and now ur doing alevel edexcel? isnt marking all are different?

[shadow tree]

Marking varies but it varies from IG to a level even within Cambridge, you'll have to adapt and learn either way

And yes it's different but it's minor

[slate relic]

some of my igs were edexcel, some were cambridge

eng lit was aqa

and all my AS/A levels were cambridge

except further maths which is edexcel

my point being, it really does not make a difference

[manic sapphire]

jeezz so many boards

and one more question what if someone do AS edexcel then completes ALevel with Cambridge.

is that possible?

[shadow tree]

You can't carry them over like that

[manic sapphire]

makes sense

[thin ivy]

You can take other electives so i guess it gives more options to branch out if you aren't sure

Or you swap out some of the hardware stuff out in certain unis

[shadow tree]

Fair enough I didn't really consider that

[tribal horizon]

I want to do CSS. Please help me choose a degree for it. Should i go for BsCS or BS English or others??

[slate relic]

this might a dumb question but what is CSS

i can only think of cascading style sheet 😭

[tribal horizon]

Daddmmdmdmd

Central Superior Services

Well it's in Pakistan

[slate relic]

oh okay that's why

[tribal horizon]

Anyone from Pakistan help me out

[primal locust]

well i am from india and i think BA would be the best because most of the syllabus is from politics and stuff.

[potent violet]

Am willing to retake my maths a level but am not really sure, is it worth it?

[slow widget]

if it will help u in ur near future then why not?

[slate relic]

what did you achieve and what do you plan to study in the future?

[shadow tree]

Very biased but maths plays into more careers than you realise, you're likely better off taking it than not

[potent violet]

I dont think ill get much off it

[slate relic]

^

[slow widget]

I've chosen Business Accounting IT in AS-A levels, still don't have any idea what I'm gonna do after it.. any advice?

[slate relic]

my advice is always to think about what you're interested in first

what you want to do should come before anything else

barring that, you have options in business/marketing i'd think based on the subjects you've chosen. for anything CS/IT related you'd almost definitely need maths, so take a look on the business side of it [if you think you'd want to do that] and look at possible majors

[lyric stratus]

How far do I need to take english if I plan on doing engineering.

Im currently taking AS further maths, physics, chem, bio

[slate relic]

i don't believe it's a hard requirement anywhere

universities in the US do really appreciate an interdisciplinary course of study so would love if you took a humanity or english too

but i dont know / think it should be required beyond ig

apart from you taking an eng proficiency test

[knotty quartz]

Hi, what is the difference between a software engineer and software developer

[slate relic]

i believe developers work on smaller scale or more specific projects and have the liberties to be creative about their work

and engineers typically work on a larger scale and are more technical

i have a useful article on it: https://devskiller.com/software-engineer-vs-software-developer/

this one's pretty handy too: https://shecancode.io/blog/software-developer-or-engineer-whats-the-difference

if you're looking to study development vs engineering at college your eng course will probably be a lot more chem / phy heavy

[knotty quartz]

Ah OK, thank you @slate relic

[slate relic]

no worries!!

[hollow mulch]

Hi, I am now at a boarding school and doing IGCSE course, but they only allow me to do 5-6 subjects, so does anyone know if I want to self study few more subjects, how can I apply them myself

[slate relic]

you'll have to register as a private candidate

for which you'll probably have to talk to the british council

[hollow mulch]

oh i see... thank you so much

[grand jacinth]

hey hello just had a doubt

not sure if this is the correct channel but i am born in india, brought up in dubai and i stay in dubai, so what entrance exam should i give?

[slow widget]

You are an indian national cause you were born in India

So second one

[grand jacinth]

oh okay thanks

[ocean stump]

Guys, I want to take sciences and technology. Any advice?

What are my options?

Also, if possible, I'd like Business Studies and economics as additional subjects.

[slate relic]

as subjects? as a career?

[slate relic]

for what?

[ocean stump]

Both

[slate relic]

options for what

[ocean stump]

Sciences and technology

[slate relic]

like subject options?

[ocean stump]

Yes

[slate relic]

are you choosing ig subjects

or a level subjects

i dont quite understand what youre asking

[ocean stump]

I'll be choosing A-level subjects next year

[slate relic]

ohh okay and you want to go into CS

[ocean stump]

I want my future to revolve around sciences and technology

[slate relic]

cool so definitely take maths

like you kind of have to

physics is always good

if you're considering engineering, it is likely you'll need chemistry as well

CS is a good option but not mandatory, depending on what exactly you want to do

do you have a specific career path / major in mind or just generally science

[ocean stump]

No, more in technology

Although tbh I love everything

[slate relic]

thats fair but if you want to do biotechnology vs computer engineering your choices will be quite different

how many subjects will you be taking

[ocean stump]

I intend to be taking as many as I can (round 6-8)

8 seems good

[wise eagle]

are we talking about A Level subjects

[ocean stump]

How many do they usually take?

[wise eagle]

bruh

3/4

[ocean stump]

Woah

That's too few imo

[wise eagle]

You'll change your mind when you start A Levels lol

[ocean stump]

We'll see

I think people chose generally around 5 subjects in my school but I could be wrong

[slate relic]

you cant take more than 5...

at school

they will not let you

[wise eagle]

don't even think about 6-8 tho

[slate relic]

not to be discouraging but this is nothing like igcse

you cant just take

that many

[ocean stump]

Oh

[slate relic]

your opinions will change!

[wise eagle]

yeah 1 A Level subject is like 3 IGCSE subjects

[ocean stump]

We'll see...

[slate relic]

^

i would advise 5 at most

people generally take 3-4

[ocean stump]

Ok thanks for the advice

[slate relic]

right, you will

i dont even know if your school will let you take more than 5. have you asked them?

[ocean stump]

Shame... I love all subjects

[slate relic]

so do i 👍 but decisions have to be made

[ocean stump]

No, one teacher said round 5, that's it

[slate relic]

yeah they probabl wont

6-8 is insane lol

consider 4-5

[ocean stump]

Ok thanks

[ocean stump]

I hate doing this

I barely have any idea of who I want to be

[slate relic]

it does suck

if you genuinely have no idea, keeping your options open is always good

if you know you want to go into STEM, take maths

even if you dont just take maths tbh i think its an increasingly versatile suject

at least once science is good

[ocean stump]

I wish I could go back to being a naive child with delusions of freedom of adulthood

Yeah, I'm deeply considering stem

[slate relic]

you mentioned wanting to take BS and econ... idk if thats possible given your career intentions

[ocean stump]

Yes, I love those subjects too

[slate relic]

yeah but atp you kinda have to make decisions

[wise eagle]

Same lol

Just take sciences and math if you have no idea

[slate relic]

i hate my chosen career path

but yeah

[wise eagle]

CS?

[slate relic]

i think 3 sciences + maths is a solid combo for most stuff in STEM

[slate relic]

yeah CS/DS

[ocean stump]

I think I would like to be choosing sciences and technology

[slate relic]

why tf didnt i go into music man

[wise eagle]

bruh I'm gonna do that

why do you hate it

[slate relic]

thats incredibly broad are you talking biotechnology or chem engineering

[ocean stump]

Idk tbh

[slate relic]

my parents massively pushed me at maths and im just burnt out at this point

[ocean stump]

I just think that the future is unlimited with them

[slate relic]

with what

[wise eagle]

I dont wanna do engineering because it has a lot of math

[ocean stump]

Sciences and technology

[wise eagle]

But I have no idea about CS

[slate relic]

i mean. thats true for like. every subject

sciences and technology is such a broad term

[ocean stump]

Touché

[slate relic]

depends what you go into in CS

like software dev and shit is less math

[wise eagle]

wait you choose that in undergrad?

I'm just thinking of doing a CS major

[slate relic]

no no im talking like in the career world

[wise eagle]

ah I meant uni

like does it have too much math in that

[slate relic]

if you take a CS major you will probably end up doing some maths / stats courses

[ocean stump]

I just want to do STH high paid and STH I love

[slate relic]

what do you love

a lot of your college courses will be maths modules afaik

[wise eagle]

Science and technology

[slate relic]

which is why i hate it 😭

[ocean stump]

To be fair that's the most hard question

[slate relic]

im tired of maths atp i dont want no more numbers

[wise eagle]

I cant think of anything that won't have that instead of arts or something

[slate relic]

okay i know where youre coming from bc this happened to me too but there will come a point where you have to like either research career paths or just figure out what you see yourself doing in life

[wise eagle]

Engineering CS and finance sides have it

[slate relic]

yeah

like 'science and technology' is medicine, dentistry, comp sci, machine learning, applied maths, electrical engineering, environmental sci,

[ocean stump]

I love writing, I love sciences, I like maths too (not actual geometry tho, screw 3D figures), I like B.ST, I like Economics and I like ICT

[wise eagle]

I did all of that but it still didn't work so I'm just choosing what everyone thinks I should do and I can change it later if it's really bad lol

[slate relic]

like do u want to be a doctor or a nature preserver lol

[slate relic]

youre talking school subjects - id suggest you start looking at career paths

[slate relic]

i did all of that and still picked the worst option

i couldve gone into poli sci or astrophyics but no

[ocean stump]

Doctor kind of creeps me up tbh, even though I like the idea

[wise eagle]

Astrophysics is like scary math tho

[slate relic]

yeah but space go brr

[slate relic]

if you want to be a doctor you will have to decide now lol you cant just decide to go into med once youre in y13

[ocean stump]

I can't imagine dealing with actual human parts

[slate relic]

okay then dont do med

[wise eagle]

I think you should try it first instead of thinking you're gonna hate it

maybe it's different in uni

[ocean stump]

Good point

[slate relic]

yeah but with med

you cant just decide to do it

and then do something else if you dont like it

thats kinda difficult afaik

either you go into med or you dont

especially if you plan to go to the UK

or do a premed in the US

[wise eagle]

Yeah I was talking about you hating CS lmao

[ocean stump]

Well, I want a high paid job too, my father spent a large amount on my schooling

[slate relic]

ohhhhh yeah ur right

[slate relic]

what does that have to do with anything

[ocean stump]

I don't wanna be a disappointment

[wise eagle]

[slate relic]

if you think ur gonna graduate from undergrad and immediately get a high paid job youll probably be badly surprised later on in life

[ocean stump]

I have to return the favour and do STH good

[ocean stump]

Not intially

[slate relic]

that....... is a super toxic mindset but is off topic

[ocean stump]

Just at least in my later life

[slate relic]

well all jobs are high paid if you get to a high enough position so

[restive delta]

Spend time with them, love them, take care of them…. That’s what they want honestly, and for ur professional life, do what u love, not what gives u money

[ocean stump]

Ofc

[slate relic]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

if it helps any i know people going into pretty different fields so if you have any questions abt subj requirements i can probably tell you off the top of my head

[ocean stump]

I wanna do something I love too and what gives me money. I have a brother to support, too.

[slate relic]

like i said everything will give you money if you get to a high enough position. a software dev intern at mastercard might not make the same money as an env scientist working with the UN so its not the career its where you go with it

[ocean stump]

Ok, that's reassuring, thanks.

[slate relic]

anytime

can u tell i have spent way too much time on career research ❤️

anyway i gtg for dinner but like if you have any questions abt CS or STEM specifically you can ping me ig

[slate relic]

or abt subj requirements ^

[ocean stump]

Ofc, thanks

[slate relic]

no worries

[ocean stump]

Hey, what are the subjects required if you want to become a Data scientist?

[slate relic]

maths is a must

CS is good

[ocean stump]

CS?

What does that stand for?

[slate relic]

that's about it unless you plan to engage in the AI aspect of it in which case physics is good

[slate relic]

computer science

[ocean stump]

Alright

They didn't teach computer science IGCSE here though

[slate relic]

oh that sucks

[ocean stump]

Can I manage it?

[slate relic]

well technically there are no "requirements"

[ocean stump]

I mean, they taught ICT instead

[slate relic]

ICT is... eh

are you talking about a data science major at college

[ocean stump]

Yeah

[slate relic]

okay what country

[ocean stump]

I'm in India but I want to do it in the US, UK or Singapore

[slate relic]

okay cool

the US has no subject requirements afaik

check the specific uni websites - subj requirements are different at different places

[ocean stump]

I think I can request my ICT teacher to get me teach CS

[slate relic]

and make sure the places you're applying actually have a data science major. for example im applying to CMU but for machine learning and stats, not data science bc they don't have that

[ocean stump]

Is it manageable if I did not do an IGCSE and am beginning?

[slate relic]

beginning A level?

[ocean stump]

Yes

[slate relic]

not to be blunt but it will be very difficult

A2 CS in particular is quite a fair bit of content

there's nothing wrong with sticking with ICT if you did that

[ocean stump]

Alright

Can I take it additionally later then?

[slate relic]

take what

CS?

what do you mean by later

[ocean stump]

I mean, at some other point in life like privately

[slate relic]

if you want to

the most important thing you'll need is stats

and applied maths

also if you're applying to the US there is a lot more to consider than just your subjects

[ocean stump]

Like?

[slate relic]

extracurriculars

essays

recommendations

standardised testing, to an extent // this depends

[ocean stump]

Alright

Statistics is not an IGCSE subject but an A-level subject, right?

[slate relic]

it's part of the a level maths curriculum

or should be, at least

[ocean stump]

Alright

[slate relic]

you should be studying it alongside either AS or A2 pure maths

if you are 100% sure about taking data science

then i think your best bet is maths, ICT, a science (physics?), and a humanity

[ocean stump]

Humanity = Economics is the best one, right?

[slate relic]

there is no "best"

[ocean stump]

I know

[slate relic]

the US likes to see a spread of subjects. history or eng lit work just as well

[ocean stump]

But more useful imo

[slate relic]

that's up to you

[ocean stump]

I think either economics or Business Studies (Management?)

[slate relic]

again it's whatever you enjoy and would like to continue

i didn't take a humanity - i took chem bc i was initially considering having engineering open as an option

if you want to keep options open to pure CS and/or engineering i would say maybe take 2 sciences

and if you're considering medicine then all 3

so it depends

i realise i sound a bit overwhelming lol the best idea is to keep your options open if you're not sure what you really want to do

[ocean stump]

Are pure maths and statistics different things?

[slate relic]

yes

[ocean stump]

Alright

So pure math, statistics, chem, phy, economics

Is that good enough?

For data scientist

[slate relic]

pure maths and statistics should all be included in either AS or A2 maths

[slate relic]

again there's no requirements per se (the UK might have some - maths is kinda a given anywhere you go) but this should be a good foundation, yes

[ocean stump]

Alright, thank you

[slate relic]

anytime

[ocean stump]

Oh, my teacher gave me this information

Add accountancy to that list

I think I should have cropped that but nvm

[slate relic]

it's fine

how many subjects did she say?

regardless of the answer i would advise 5 at most

a lot of people struggle with 4 itself

[ocean stump]

She didn't give any number

[slate relic]

if english is compulsory, you could take it as a 5th subject (this will be hard), drop econ, or drop a science (id say chem if you have no interest in biochemistry, med, or engineering and purely want to go into tech or DS)

[ocean stump]

Alright

If I start computer science leisurely now, can I manage A-level?

[slate relic]

like i said it will be difficult bc there is a lot of base knowledge you need

have you programmed before

and do you know python / visual basic / pseudocode

[ocean stump]

Only Qbasic

In Grade 8

[slate relic]

it's gonna be really hard lol

if you really want to then you can't start leisurely you need to grind all the igcse content first so you understand AS

[ocean stump]

Yeah

But our school must have some stupid reason for having computer science at A-level and not IGCSE level

[slate relic]

well i don't know the answer to that but for almost every subject, igcse knowledge is an important prerequisite to AS and A2

[ocean stump]

Yeah, I'll ask why

I wanna be carefree child again

I hate it

[slate relic]

mood

[ocean stump]

I find economics and BST really similar, can I manage them together?

It would be a great help

If I could

[slate relic]

and drop what

again, a levels are a big step up from ig. stuff that is easy at that point (eng, hist, CS, bio) does not stay that way

[ocean stump]

Nvm

[ocean stump]

What's the difference between A level and AS level and A2 level?

[slate relic]

A level is the entire 2 year course. AS is the first year (what you'll do in year 12 - some people do exams for them, some don't) and A2 is the final exams you do in year 13 (some people take these at the end of the two years, while some have done their AS in year 12)

[ocean stump]

Alright, thanks

[neon berry]

Any UCL lse or oxford Econ maths or PPE students here?

[patent tusk]

Anyone studying electrical engineering know what it’s like

[knotty quartz]

Hello I'm going to be a fresh university student and I chose software engineering as undergraduate course and I am buying my first ever laptop. can you tell me know what aspects must be considered when buying a laptop for software engineering students?

Note that I am not rich

[lofty thicket]

I'd suggest 16 gb ram / decent graphics and cpu

[sullen fractal]

The university might have information on this. Recommended and minimum specs will be shown

[grim dove]

Should I study Physics if I want to pursue career in any field of Computer Science in future? I don't like to study Physics.

[slate relic]

what exactly in CS

any career options you have in mind?

[grim dove]

I am not sure about any particuar field in CS maybe softeare related field. lik

like AI. IT or Cyber Secturity

[slate relic]

for any kind of comp eng you 100% need it. for stuff like software dev and game dev it would probably be good. if you're doing pure CS then probably not.

a pure CS major at uni may not require it, but when you go into a career it's possible you pick something that requires physics knowledge. a lot of AI does, robotics definity does, and i think cybersecurity might too

i would definitely advise taking it if you can and if you're not fully sure what you plan to do career wise because it's always a good asset to have

what level are you at? AS, A2? you need to get your roles (type znroles in #bot-stuff-1 )

[grim dove]

I am in AS

just started

[slate relic]

okay so you're considering dropping phy?

[grim dove]

for engineering I would also have to take Chem

[grim dove]

yeah maybe

[slate relic]

yes, probably

i don't know what you currently take

but phy is usually the most crucial science with CS

[grim dove]

I have CS, Math, and Physics

[slate relic]

i would definitely recommend taking at least one science

[slate relic]

well you can't do only 2 A levels

what would you take instead of physics

[grim dove]

maybe Business or Psychology

[slate relic]

i do think physics would be considerably better than either of those options

career wise

going into STEM, it's a good idea to have at least one science

[grim dove]

STEM?😅

[slate relic]

science, technology, engineering, maths

that field of study

anything science or maths basically

[grim dove]

ok

thanks

[knotty quartz]

They don't ;-;

[lofty thicket]

What's yr budget

[knotty quartz]

It's in Mauritian rupee

Around rs40000-45000

It's like 950$-1000$

I think

[lofty thicket]

Try finding Lenovo IdeaPad 5 pro

It has ryzen 7 5800h, 16 gb ram , GTX 1650 , 120 Hz display , backlight keyboard

P good for price

Acer swift x is also great option

If you are comfortable carrying heavy laptops then consider Acer nitro 5 and legion 5

[sullen fractal]

That’s more than enough

You can get a really good gaming pc just from that

[celest ginkgo]

Yoo can someone help me my mom wants me to go to the UK for college which is gr11 and 12 in the UK there but I wanna know if that is possible I'm in Pakistan btw got no degree yet also I'm in the high skl syatem

system

[slate relic]

i think she means university

what exactly is your question

[celest ginkgo]

nah she means college lol

[slate relic]

like a sixth form college?

[celest ginkgo]

in the UK college is like gr11 and 12

uh

well

I'll be 16 then so like

[slate relic]

i go to a british school

[celest ginkgo]

how long is 6th form?

[slate relic]

most people here do

sixth form is years 12 and 13

[celest ginkgo]

ye

and after that uni right?

[slate relic]

so she wants you to go to sixth form in the UK?

[celest ginkgo]

if after that is uni then ye

[slate relic]

yep

[celest ginkgo]

ye

[slate relic]

so what kind of system are you in now

do you do gcses

[celest ginkgo]

she does is that even possible

high skl

no

like just full American high skl

[slate relic]

it might be difficult because you have to get admission to a sixth form college

[celest ginkgo]

ye ofc

[slate relic]

like a school specifically only doing years 12 and 13

[celest ginkgo]

what year grades do they look at?

[slate relic]

and you'd have to do A levels, which are a follow up from GCSEs

[slate relic]

years ten and eleven

[celest ginkgo]

I c

well my 11 rn is going good

liek rlly good

my 10 was okay ig

like a B overall

so like it is possible?

wait

so

I can go is what Ur saying right?

its not like uni admissions

idk if you can go because sixth form colleges generally do admissions based on GCSE grades

which you dont have

while universities accept grades from multiple different curriculums, i have no idea if sixth form colleges can or do the same

also, there are probably like thousands of them across the UK, you need to figure out where youre registering

its like changing schools, not applying to university

you would be changing curriculums entirely. tbh i would not recommend going to sixth form from an american school at all bc it is very very different and you will not have a lot of the prerequisite knowledge or any idea of how the curriculum works

you 'can' probably go - therell be ones where you just have to register, not apply - but you need to figure out how and why youre going to do that and if its worth it
