[slate relic]

i dont know man

i told you i dont know for certain

you need to figure out which sixth form you want to enroll in and figure out how to get in / register

i just told you that the curriculum is a massive change and it will be difficult to do A levels after not doing GCSE study + for those sixth forms that are competitive, you may find it difficult to get admission

[celest ginkgo]

I see

well thanks for that

actually rlly helped lol

[slate relic]

im glad

[small turtle]

uhh

@slow widget

this guy got hacked

[slow widget]

Who

[small turtle]

nvm

sadashi banned

[jagged halo]

i have a question and i need an answer, is it worth leaving your parents just to study abroad? i can afford studying in my country but its expensive unlike Europe but i dont want to leave my family (plus doing religion stuff will be harder outside)

[slate relic]

this isnt something other ppl can answer for you

that depends on you

how will you and your family take it?

[grim dove]

what is difference in BS Computer Science and BE Software Engineering? what is preferable?

[slate relic]

one is a comp sci degree and the other is software engineering lol. they're two different niches of study

and... preferable for what

[grim dove]

Idk which one whould I go for. So I can choose correct subjects for my A'levels

[slate relic]

what are you more interested in? what career(s) are you aiming for?

both require pretty similar subject combos afaik if not the same

[grim dove]

AI or Cyber Security maybe

[slate relic]

in that case i would suggest CS

[grim dove]

Software Engineering requires Chemistry? But WHY?

[slate relic]

the majority of eng courses require chem

[grim dove]

what's the other case😅

[grim dove]

then should I opt chem just in case? or any other 4th subject

[slate relic]

if you want to work with software specifically, do anything in terms of software design, or work in dev at a tech company lol

AI is more CS and machine learning

personally i don't know a lot about cyber security and how much it involved any kind of eng

[grim dove]

yeah it's a totally different program

[slate relic]

is there anything you want to take in its place? chem looks good with phy/maths and does open you up to other tech major options in general

i took FM/CS/chem/phy bc i was considering comp eng. not what im doing anymore but it's still a solid subject combo

[grim dove]

no not any. like a language subject maybe

[slate relic]

okay

this is related i promise but where are you considering applying

[grim dove]

FM😮 I am hardly doing Math

[slate relic]

i say this bc unis in the US sometimes like to see a humanity on there

[slate relic]

don't ask lol idk how im surviving

[grim dove]

not sure😩 I want to go for abroad any place I can afford by myseld if not than just my country

for Bachelors

[grim dove]

yeah IK

[slate relic]

idk your budget but US is mad expensive

[grim dove]

Ohk

[slate relic]

UK can be as well

[grim dove]

yeah that's why I am not even thinking about US

[grim dove]

r u saying UK would be expensive too?

I was thinking about Germany🥺

[slate relic]

less than the US but still yes depending on your budget

[slate relic]

no idea about it :(( sorry

[grim dove]

Oh ok

[grim dove]

no issue

[jagged halo]

germany unis are free or semi free

from what i knew in my research

but there requirements are high i think

[summer mica]

@small turtle @slow widget

[slow widget]

done

[summer mica]

cheers

[wheat widget]

Hey guys I would like to study law in the future and I'm wondering if Geography, Business Studies and history are good A level subject combinations

[visual robin]

My sister took law, psychology and business for her a level. Check the requirements btw different uni might have different requirements

[slate relic]

like said your uni may have different requirements. some require english or a STEM subject so definitely check

[knotty quartz]

Guys what's a full stack developer

[visual robin]

What I understand is like a developer that can do pretty much everything, for example the developer is capable of doing front end and back end stuff without any problem

[knotty quartz]

Oh

[compact imp]

and isn't speaking german mandatory?

[jagged halo]

not all unis

to be more precise not all degrees

some are taught in english

[wheat widget]

okay thank you so much!!

[wheat widget]

Thank you!!

[compact imp]

Oh okk

[hollow mulch]

Any sixth form suggestions plsss

[slate relic]

suggestions for what

[rocky finch]

I need advice about applying to a international scholarship. is a high school transcript different compared to graduate transcript ? If I’m applying to uni can I just use ONLY my A level transcript to apply?

Or MUST I should show my high school certificate

[shadow tree]

Graduate transcripts are for people who finished their undergrad if I'm not wrong

[shadow tree]

And that depends on the country/ scholarship you're applying to

[slate relic]

your transcript, in most countries, means all your grades in high school

ie igs, as, and a2

though some schools require a 3 year transcript but in the case of britisg curriculum it would be the same

[sullen fractal]

I searched unis in Germany that had English courses so I could see if there we more AE programs, sadly none but I came across applied mathematics and physics. I found them interesting and rethinking my career.

I never really put much effort into picking aerospace as a career. I found it out when searching for careers for physics and maths, Remembered my love for planes and done, I’m going to be an aerospace engineer. I thought of being a pilot but I don’t know if I’m ready for it. Scared but not scared at the same time. Also I don’t think my parents would approve.

I’m in A2 now and this seems late and I’m kind of freaking out. Idk what I want to do

I really found applied maths interesting based off the fact I love maths, could do math all day. But I don’t understand what I could do as a job

[fossil crow]

@small turtle

[grim dove]

how much high?🥺

[grim dove]

nope.

[compact imp]

oh that's great

[grim dove]

I am the opp. I hate Math, but I have to study it becuz of my love for CS

[grim dove]

r u applying or planning to apply?

[compact imp]

planning to yes, in november

[grim dove]

are u in AS or A2?

[compact imp]

Kinda both have to give As exams in mid october, and I'm already done with most of A2 course as well

[grim dove]

INTELLIGENT PEOPLE ALERT!!!

[grim dove]

which degree if you don't mind me asking

[slate relic]

used to love maths and cs now i hate both <33

[compact imp]

computer science, gonna do bachelors in Cyber security

[slate relic]

are you applying a year early then

[compact imp]

yess

[slate relic]

good luck!

[grim dove]

why?

[slate relic]

burnout and pressure

[grim dove]

Ahh kinda same here too bro. I am thinking to do bachelors in CS then masters maybe in a particular

[compact imp]

samee masters later

[grim dove]

oooh Actually I gave first Math test and got 4/40😫 😓

[grim dove]

yeah AS and A2 are pretty much taking place😆

[compact imp]

yeah I have an exam on 15th ;-;

the pressure is un real

[grim dove]

WTF. well you must've prepared before na.

[compact imp]

yeahh ofc

[grim dove]

intellectuality ALERT!!!!

[compact imp]

lol

[slate relic]

oh, yikes

[grim dove]

ty

[rocky finch]

is 2 A levels enough to apply to uni (in average), or must i have at least 3?

[lost berry]

What is this for?

[sinful thistle]

At least 3 is needed. I don't know any universities that requires 2. But the minimum is 3

[summer mica]

3 much better and is the optimal but some higher end private unis can take 2

unless ur course is atypical eg arts then something like A level arts or wtver and something like design or smthing would suffice (insert large question mark)

uni dependant

[rocky finch]

I see thank you

[foggy hill]

Any advise on actuarial science?

[neon loom]

I'm interested in that career too. From what I know it's heavily maths/stats based

[foggy hill]

Cool.

[slow widget]

Is an economic or information technology and computing degree good for the future? what do you think?

[slate relic]

yes!

if you enjoy doing them then especially yes

do you have any career plans or ideas for the future

[slow widget]

yeah. i want to be data scientist 👨‍💻

[slate relic]

oh very cool

me too!

i would advise a data science, CS, applied maths / computing, or stats degree

i dont know about economics since ive never studied it but im applying for a DS major in a lot of places

[slow widget]

DS major?

[slate relic]

data science major

[slow widget]

oh cool. my country don’t have it but i choose IT and computing. cause i really enjoy computer and study ITC major lol. everyone said marketing major is useless but why?

[slate relic]

well it depends what you want to go into

for data science you really need to be strong in either maths, computing, or both

marketing will likely not help you

what country? do you plan to pursue uni there?

[slow widget]

i know but my middle sister want to marketing degree to be marketing manager…💀💀💀

[slate relic]

well then itll help her

[slow widget]

im from lebanon but i am living in kuwait. my mom won’t let go to study lebanon in university. i heard lebanon university is really good but everything is broken.

[slate relic]

wait

what school

im not being creepy i swear i ALSO live in kuwait and i had no idea anyone else in this server did

[slow widget]

haha. same to you!! 😂

[slow widget]

KNES is so shit. this school…💀💀

how about you?

[slate relic]

no wayyy

NES

[slow widget]

i heard NES is really good. is it true?

[slate relic]

no

absolutely not

if you want to change schools go to BSK instead

[slow widget]

i graduated from last year lol

[slow widget]

why you don’t go to BSK?

[slate relic]

my parents put me in NES

[inner compass]

hey guys id appreciate some quick help

so basically we get our final grades based entirely on our performance on 2 tests
the main subjects went well
but our english teacher hates more or less our entire class cos she thinks we dont do enough
and she gave us p shit predicted grades
any idea if that sort of stuff messes up my application?
I got p decent grades in all other subjects
for reference, an A*,A,A, and B on the remaining subjects
and a D in english
id appreciate some help so I can figure out whether or not I wanna contest this

for reference im applying solely to the US

[slate relic]

yeah,,, it does

what do you plan to apply for

[inner compass]

biology

[slate relic]

english shouldn't have a massive impact on your application in that case

can you not report this to the school though

[sullen fractal]

Talk to your school, parents and event get another teacher to mark your test to see if theres a difference

[summer mica]

US academic performance standard is just SAT tbh

just give the SAT

and show these
ull be good enough for mid-top tier unis, maybe top-top tierr unis

[inner compass]

I can maybe but I really don't think they'll budge on this

[inner compass]

thats another issue our english teacher also happens to be the head of english at the school

[inner compass]

ahh cool cool

I did p well on that got a 700 in english

thanks!

[sullen fractal]

Yikes, you can try a tutor or something. But as others have said, English isn’t really a perquisite so you should be good

And yea the sat is a good measure

[sullen fractal]

I enjoy a level maths a lot and by far the most interesting subject I have. This led me to explore a math degree but what does one do with a math degree? What type of job. I’ve seen general yt vids showing the different sectors but not any specific work

I see a lot of programming but I have no experience in cs

[slate relic]

i beg to differ

very strongly, actually. academics matter a lot especially in terms of course rigour while standardised testing is increasingly losing importance

[slate relic]

with applied maths or stats you can go into data science

for a lot of CS degrees, you dont actually need prior knowledge in programming

its usually data analytics or finance that ppl want to do unless they tie maths into another passion like environmental science or smth

[slate relic]

absolutely not sorry

in the US a lot of focus is on extracurriculars [a LOT] and on essays

as someone with stellar academics and a great SAT, i am barely guaranteed admission to midtier unis rn

ESPECIALLY as an international

[summer mica]

this is what i meant more off but i didnt put it correctly

but the thing im trying to get across is

SAT / A levels are just a tick box for these unis

[slate relic]

SAT yes

a levels are actually important

[summer mica]

well yes

ur right

A levels are more important

[slate relic]

and the SAT will not make up for bad grades in school

[summer mica]

but still id give the SAT anyways

[summer mica]

true

[slate relic]

well depending on where youre applying it could be quite important to do so

[summer mica]

but good A levels will make up for the SAT

[summer mica]

mhmm

[slate relic]

also no

[summer mica]

i mean as in

mediocre SAT

[slate relic]

glad to hear that! but make sure u compare ur final score to the percentile scores of the unis ur planning for

[slate relic]

not particularly bc the SAT is a standardised test for a reason

as in

independent of your curriculum

[summer mica]

huh

ok

[slate relic]

a mediocre SAT is less detrimental this year and these past years bc unis are realising how its kinda shitty

but good A levels wont make up for a not too good SAT score

you do have the option to not report it now though

at most places

[slow widget]

Glad I won't need SAT for the UK, however UK Universities are less benevolent when it comes with grants I've heard especially when it comes to International students.

[slate relic]

i don't believe they offer financial aid

though you can get scholarships, but those tend to be really difficult

for internationals especially like you said

finaid from the US is a nightmare for internationals too

if you have financial concerns then the UK and the US are likely places to avoid

[slow widget]

I'll figure something out, god willing, a wise man once said, if the plan doesn't work, change the plan but never the goal.

[slate relic]

okay

good luck

if you need help with anything UK or US related feel free to ping and i can try my best to help since thats where im applying

[inner compass]

yeah I'm above the 75th percentile for most of the unis im applying to

[slate relic]

thats super awesome!!

best of luck

[inner compass]

thanks!

[gentle skiff]

Difference bw Oxford and Cambridge?

[slate relic]

theyre two different universities

one is in oxford and the other is in cambridge

[gentle skiff]

I actually thought they were the same I’m so dumb

And stupid

Which is much preferred?

[slate relic]

depends what for

im applying CS so definitely cambridge

[summer mica]

they are really similar in terms of academic
so they are termed together eg: Ivy League, Oxbridge, etc

[viral plaza]

did you submit the saq?

[slate relic]

no i only got it this morning

[viral plaza]

you know the diff between AS level (linear) and AS level (UMS)?

[slate relic]

uhh i don't

am i meant to

[viral plaza]

yes for the education section of saq

[coral cedar]

had the same question. I think UMS is when you receive the percentile number

next to ur grade

I dont have that so I kept linear AS and linear A level

[viral plaza]

I have my UMS as I gave the exam in feb/march

[coral cedar]

then keep it as UMS ig

[viral plaza]

but what topics did you include

[coral cedar]

general ones

Algebra calculus etc

[viral plaza]

for chemistry I did like physical chem, organic chem and etc

[viral plaza]

also did you include your A levels?'

[coral cedar]

yeah

ofc

[viral plaza]

oh

what did you do in funding section?

[viral plaza]

?

[coral cedar]

family funding

[viral plaza]

but you sure of it?

like they dont accept anything next

[viral plaza]

are you there for a moment?

[coral cedar]

idk

[coral cedar]

What?

[viral plaza]

yah

so

will you send the transcripts?

[coral cedar]

No not needed for A levels

[viral plaza]

like ig your from india?

[coral cedar]

check the link

depends on that

[viral plaza]

so we are currently in non-uk education?

right?

[coral cedar]

um no

A levels is UK

[viral plaza]

so it says if there are 6igcse's then no transcripts

else you have to send

[coral cedar]

yeah

if u have 6

then dont send

[viral plaza]

so i have 6 igcse's then i dont have to send ?

[coral cedar]

Yeah

ofc

[viral plaza]

also no transcripts for A levels?

[coral cedar]

Idts

[tame bane]

guys

help me with career advice

which engineering has the best scope?

[slate relic]

theyre all vastly different

you cant really compare something like biochemical engineering to like mechanical engineering or something

theyre applicable in different places

[gentle skiff]

@tame bane go for IT

[slate relic]

um

dont go for IT if you dont enjoy IT

and IT is not even engineering unless youre talking about comp eng

[lofty thicket]

Is B.Eng in Robotics and A.I. good choice?

[slow widget]

well

i mean

if that's what you want to do

then yes

[lofty thicket]

Is there something better?

You sound like it's not that good but if you are interested then fine

I haven't decided which course to choose

Still confused

I am interested in tech

[slow widget]

nah I mean your question was very vague

that's fine then AI is a good choice

[slow widget]

It depends from person to person so I can't say what's better for you, you know?

Like for me med is better, not necessarily for you

But, at the end of the day, AI is a great field for sure

[lofty thicket]

Makes sense

Thanks

[slow widget]

ye like there's definitely a lot of scope in terms of growth for AI as well as a lot of money that can potentially be earned in the field

[lofty thicket]

👍

Thanks

[hushed kernel]

actually that reminds me, for those who applied for an engineering degree in the UK, is the foundation chemistry the same level as IGCSE level or AS level?

[shadow tree]

I didn't do foundation but I've seen a friend's worksheets and they're like AS/A2

[summer mica]

most foundation courses are almost the same as what u learn in A levels and AP

heck even high school

their purpose is to make sure every1 is up to date on whatever there is
ive seen a few things here and there that my brother learnt in AP that im not in A levels, and vice versa
so their goal is to (a) make sure everybody is up to pace and, to a lesser extent (b) "revise" everything

[late forge]

Is plain Comp. Science a good subject to choose in Uni if I haven't particularly decided on a field yet but know that I'm interested in something related to CS. I'm asking this cuz I've heard that CS is very competitive

[lofty thicket]

I think it's good

Cuz CS is a good subject to coose as it will be very important in the future

[late forge]

alright thanks!

[warm panther]

dont click on it

[soft yoke]

hey i wanted to ask, is business, IT and math (P1 and S1) a good combination of subjects? what fields can i get into with these AS/A level subjects

[late forge]

Im guessing but fields like data science and big data must be good choices with these subjects

[gentle skiff]

What happens if I fail igsce maths?

[wise eagle]

wdym what happens

[shy ingot]

depends on the uni or college

[sullen fractal]

Nothing really

U prolly have to retake

[ripe shoal]

And what if i can't retake whole the year?

[cedar vine]

dont be so pessimistic TvT

try ur best

[slow widget]

even retaking tbh isn't as bad as people make it sound, like when it comes to applying to universities not such a big deal, imo

[rancid scroll]

So. I decided to take 4 subjects for A Levels. Which includes: Bus, Acc, math nd IT. It's been rlly hard to manage nd keep up with all 4 so I v decided to drop math. So will it have a big impact on the types of courses I can undertake going into the financial feild

[dense lake]

Yes

[sullen fractal]

Check the university requirements for perquisites for the degree

[lofty thicket]

Afaik maths is important

[sullen fractal]

Yea i see

Maybe check if AS math is enough?

[coral cedar]

Imo drop IT instead

Math is very important

[golden bear]

You drop whatever subject you think you’re not gonna get a good grade in

There’s no point in doing maths just to get a D

When you could’ve gotten an A in the subject you dropped

[coral cedar]

Yeah but do ur research first if the universities u want to apply to dont care abt math then go ahead and drop it

[warm parcel]

Hey guysbi have a question. For medical degreees abroaf should i do a levels or an bachlor of science.Im age 15 and im finishing my IGCSE this year and getting my results the following year

[visual robin]

I would say a level since it is recognized internationally

[jagged halo]

I have a question, so I have taken 3 AS already and now im taking 2 A2s in this oct/nov, I found some unis that accept 2 A levels so im thinking of staying with 2 A levels but most unis require 3 A levels, do I take the third a level for an advantage ? Thing is the third AS is chem and I hardly passed it coz I hate chem, so if imma take it A2 its gonna be 10x harder. (Studying abroad btw)

[restive delta]

I think u shud take chem as well- unless ur almost finalized with the university u want to go in which requires 2 A levels
Cuz yes, mostly unis do require 3 A levels, it also depends on the field u want to go in.
You can seek necessary help in chem if that’s the problem, or take side classes if u require.

[jagged halo]

would it be better to finish that chem A2 or take another subj that is easier and take it full A level? (medicine)

[restive delta]

For medicine, most of the unis consider chem important

[jagged halo]

mhmmm i see

okay thanks

[quick pine]

Hello, does anyone know if A levels are recognized in Germany if my school is not a British school? Or are there specific requirements for the high school diploma on top of the a levels requirements?

[dire latch]

If I'm not wrong A levels are universally accepted and most European countries accept A-levels. Follow this Cambridge link, I think it has some useful info: https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/programmes-and-qualifications/recognition-and-acceptance/country/germany/

[sullen fractal]

As long as you have a levels, you’re good

[icy swift]

hey i wanted to ask if it necesarry to take addmaths in ig if you want to go to medical school?

[restive delta]

I don’t think so at all.
Normal maths is enough

[restive delta]

^

[flint zenith]

if you think you can take add maths then you should, it gives you a better time in college/uni when you have to study maths stuff

[icy swift]

Ok thanks alot both of you!!

[foggy hill]

Does anyone know what courses I need to take, in order to become a technical writer?

[fickle marsh]

Idk sorry

Thoughts on business informatics?

I saw the course and thought that it was very interesting it's like a combo of economics, IT, business administration and a little computer science.

[foggy hill]

Sounds pretty cool.

Ironically answers my question.

[remote jewel]

Hey I want some advice

I want to do become a pilot in the future
And I'm done with igcse ( O-levels )

Is it a good idea to do A-levels or join a flight school ?

Pls tag me when you reply

[slow widget]

Oh yeah same question

As far as I know you should do Alevels if you are underage to join training or you want to do University first just to stay on the safe side because as a Pilot if anything goes wrong or you become physically incapable of flying you gotta have a backup

@remote jewel

[remote jewel]

I'm 17
And I'm physically fit

And also I have done my igcse this year Oct / Nov

What's the point of uni ?

Can you tell me
Examples what can go wrong

[shadow tree]

do you wear glasses 😂 you cant be in the air force if you wear glasses

[restive delta]

Yea, even I feel like A levels should be done, igcse is a very basic level of education, many people also confirm their profession decisions during this time.
P.s idk if a flight school can accept igcse only

[shadow tree]

yeah but things can still go wrong

[remote jewel]

Nope
I don't have glasses

[shadow tree]

you never know if you'll trip down the stairs tomorrow or sth

[remote jewel]

😭💀 @shadow tree

[remote jewel]

They do accept

[restive delta]

Thing is that A levels can give u a lot of backup plans, so playing safe is good

Rest, is up to you

[remote jewel]

Hmmmm.. I see I see

But don't u need just the basic for pilot ?

I don't think you will gotta do some big big stuff

[restive delta]

A level isn’t big big stuff, it’s just advancing ur basic igcse knowledge, studying uni is big big stuff ;-;

[remote jewel]

💀Ohhhh I see I see

You're in uni ?

[restive delta]

Just gave the entrance exams, waiting for their acceptances

[remote jewel]

💀💀💀good luck

[restive delta]

U2 ✈️

[remote jewel]

What u gonna do engineering ?

[restive delta]

Nah, med

[remote jewel]

Thank you g

[remote jewel]

Ohh my worse

Double good luck 😭

[restive delta]

Yea das big big stuff ;-;

[restive delta]

Tyy 🤧

[remote jewel]

Yup real big stuff

Yeahh so where was i

[restive delta]

Sunglasses

[wise eagle]

run

[remote jewel]

😭😭

[remote jewel]

Yes ik my sunglasses dope in my pfp

[restive delta]

No relay race

[remote jewel]

Sprint ?

[wise eagle]

I warned you

[restive delta]

Too late

[remote jewel]

Nah brother imma fly

I believe I can flyyy 🎶

In A-levels max. How many subjects u need ?

[wise eagle]

3 is the minimum

[remote jewel]

Mernnn

I wanna take maths and physics

[restive delta]

Most ppl do 3, but if ur uni requires 2, go ahead

[restive delta]

Yea, ig they essential for flying

[remote jewel]

Yesss

[wise eagle]

take further math

[remote jewel]

Like there is no way imma take biology

[restive delta]

Of course U won’t be dissecting a frog while flying

[remote jewel]

💀💀💀yooo I heard they cut open a frog

In A-levels

[restive delta]

Not in my time

Or area

[remote jewel]

My dad took biology and he hold me about 😭😭

[wise eagle]

They don't

[remote jewel]

I was WTFF 😭😭

[restive delta]

My teacher told me they banned few years back

[remote jewel]

THATS GOOOD !

[wise eagle]

bruh it was in A Levels before?

[restive delta]

Idts

My dad did too but he didn’t do a levels

[remote jewel]

My dad did everything

😭😭smart ass guy

Masters , degree , bachelor shit

He said "Son be an engineer like me"

Me : Ohhhh HELLL noooo 😭

Yoooo
Can you do flight school and A-levels at the same time ???????

[remote jewel]

Pls do tag me if u reply

[visual robin]

I don't think it is possible to do both at the same time

[remote jewel]

Why not ?

@visual robin

[golden bear]

well oyu can do it if you timetable your days properly

but itd be really hard and

ur a levels results will suffer

[visual robin]

go take a look on a level paper

if you really feel like is doable then go a head

Hello

Im currently in O levels IGCSE

and i know its really far off

but im was having trouble in ad math and I want to drop it, but my mom says i need to take it because it'll help me in further math when I take A levels.

I want to take something that has to do with computer science in the future, and i need someone to tell me why math is so important for computers.

[slow widget]

Add maths would help you in alevel maths, but I don't really think you need FM for CS. I know loads of people who only took alevel math, and still went for cs abroad and in local universities.

[oblique tendon]

i see... thanks

[shadow tree]

a lot of people also do take fm for cs tho, you'll have a fair bit of linear algebra (and probability?) in your course

[rocky finch]

just need to know basic

[shadow tree]

[coral cedar]

well if you do take FM you can get shit ton of credits

so I would say its worth it

[dense lake]

But they like it if you have FM

[dense lake]

algorithms

cs at university is like 80%-90% math

[slow widget]

Doesn't make much of a difference in terms of admissions, or at least that's what I have observed.

[dense lake]

I mean most of them say on their website although it's not required they like it

the top ones

and

I heard that if you don't take it you'll need a good reason to boost your chances

like your school doesn't offer it or smthn

regardless

it's still very useful

to have it

Hi for software development how many A* should I take? and what subjects are the most important?

[slow widget]

Hello

Thoughts on foundation courses ?

Pls

[visual robin]

You will need to do assignment, group assignment and courses are usually really rush because one semester is only 3 months

go for a level if you prefer exam based grading

[slow widget]

Okay, what about admission ? If I complete a university's foundation, are there still chances they won't take me in ?

I saw somewhere on the internet that it's like you're already part of the uni. True?

[visual robin]

if your gpa is lower than the gpa required for your degree course then yes

[slow widget]

Ohh alright
Thanks again

[foggy hill]

Aren’t they 9months long?

[slow widget]

Yeah I guess

Cuz 3 sems

[foggy hill]

Ah, I see.
Where did you plan on Studying?

[light tree]

hi, so im planning on taking math for alevels but i didnt take addmaths in igcse

im just wondering how much harder it would be for me to take it

[tiny ridge]

Not very

[slow widget]

Hello! I took maths in alevels after not taking addmaths, and tbh maths will be one of the easier subjects for you in alevels if your time management is correct. Just don't slack, and try to keep up with the pace, do loads of practice and you'll be fine! (((:

[light tree]

ah okay thanks for the input

ive been trying to do some addmaths questions to see how hard itd be but im still in the earlier chapters so it doesnt really feel that hard yet

this might be a personal question so its ok if u dont wanna answer but what did you get for maths?

[slow widget]

Oh I just gave my exams, will let u know in Jan (((:

[light tree]

oh alright, i hope you get A* for it then :)))

[slow widget]

Thank u (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

[dense lake]

not even a slight problem

idk anyone who took add maths and is now taking a level math

they're all fine

don't worry

[light tree]

thats great to know, thanks

[slow widget]

I hope this doesnt sound like a dumb question, even tho it kinda is...how do I make my CV?

[merry sparrow]

as far as i know, you list your achievements, degrees, qualifications, extracurriculars and stuff like that

[nocturne juniper]

Are you asking for a template?

[slow widget]

yea

if its a template, like a beginner level, that'll be great

[solid bison]

broo idk what i wanna do with my life, idk what a-levels i wanna pick.
i'm kinda sure about 2 a-levels but not sure about the last one

[wise eagle]

I didn't know about a single subject so dw

[solid bison]

ayooo but still, i'm gonna worry about it

[slow widget]

Ayo I finished Alevels and I still don't know what to do with life :DDD

[slow widget]

Which one's did you choose?

[solid bison]

i haven't finally chosen them yet but so far, math and physics. idk if i wanna do chem or f-math for my 3rd A-level

[solid bison]

low-key a mood, but hey u will figure it out soon and if not, that's ok :)

[slow widget]

take both :DDD, (I'd say chem tho)

Also if you can take four then go with chem/phy/bio/math

That'll open up a lot of career options for u

Which is if u took bio at olevel/igcse

[solid bison]

4 a-levels?

[solid bison]

i'm doing coordinated sciences and it includes bio

[wise eagle]

yes that's what I'm doing too

bio chem phy math

[solid bison]

i've heard 4 a-levels is real hard

[wise eagle]

yeah it is

but it's not impossible

[solid bison]

yeah true, some do 5

[wise eagle]

yeah they love to suffer

[solid bison]

LOL, well maybe some people know how to manage their time and study well so it's easier for them

but yet again, idk

[wise eagle]

do further math only if you really love it

[wise eagle]

yeah 5 would also be okay if we didn't waste so much time

[solid bison]

idk if i love it because i never done it but i generally have a high interest in math and i do ad-math for iGCSE

[solid bison]

5 honestly seems like too much, some unis find it unnecessary

[wise eagle]

yeah

sometimes I wish I did 3

[solid bison]

yea that's fair, how are u coping with it for now?

[wise eagle]

well I started studying properly in the last few months for AS which was not such a good decision

it would've been much easier if I started before and actually listened to the lecture

I just gave the exams and the result is gonna come in Jan but I think I did fine

and I just started A2 so idk about that

[solid bison]

wait so u do one year AS and second year A?

[slow widget]

Go for further math then

[wise eagle]

yeah

A2

[slow widget]

U will be fInE smartass

[wise eagle]

but you have the option to do both together

[solid bison]

yeah i think my school is gonna do the full A-level route

which honestly, i don't mind

but goodluck for your exams and all :)

[wise eagle]

thank you!

gl for your A Levels

[solid bison]

no problem. i got like half a year till them but thanks!

[dense lake]

don't do bio

[solid bison]

i won't because i don't like bio

[dense lake]

[slender jasper]

should've picked math

cuz now all of a sudden i kind of want to do astrophysics

[golden bear]

[celest wedge]

@wise eagle give tips on managing 5subs

[wise eagle]

I don't do 5 subs?

[clear vessel]

hey got a question

what's considered "exceptional academic achievements"

i have 3.81 gpa unweighted

and have quite some voluntary and community works

teaching orphanages, small village and fellow students

also managing school events, posters, videos as well as being the sole graphic designer of my school newspaper club

active in many competitions and Olympiads though i didnt achieve much

am i eligible for most merit based scholarships?

[dense lake]

5.0 GPA cured cancer 5 FAANG internships sold at least 3 startups for 500k to Facebook, Google etc

Stuff like that

and PhD in philosophy

Lol jk idk

[gusty igloo]

Honestly, merit-based scholarships are extremely competitive as they focus solely on academic achievements. E.g. a friend of mine who was at UCL on a scholarship had essentially been winning national olympiads, doing international ones and was really a genius. I think you have great extracurricular experience so look into more general scholarships and paint yourself in a hollistic fashion

[broken swallow]

Do a level overseas students need to do ielts/toefl for uni admission

[golden bear]

depends on the uni

[celest wedge]

What if you have English in A Levels

[tiny ridge]

A lot of unis have the requirement only for people who haven’t been studying in a high school where english is the language of teaching but it varies from uni to uni

[solid bison]

what's an ielts and toefl?

[broken swallow]

Search in google.com 😂

[solid bison]

ok i did. is it only if u are not a native english speaker?

[thin ivy]

Ye

[slim nimbus]

do we need to have achievements in our ecas for it to have value?

hi, its me again
i was thinking about becoming a vet/something bio/chem related
so i was going to do bio & chem in alevels, but i only took coordinated science in igcse
i can get accepted for the course but my parents believe i shouldnt do it since i didnt do pure science and want me to do humanities
but im really not interested in humanities and would rather not do something i barely have interest in for alevels since although its hard at least if i like it i could pull through
but im worried i cant do bio/chem and i would rather not get Cs/Bs T.T
any advice?

[thorny grove]

hello there (totally not a star wars reference)
im in 9th grade (igsce 1st year) and i dont know which career or field to go to, my school doesnt provide any career councelling sadly, and i have a lot of options, i want to go to the art side but i also want to teach, i dont really know what im supposed to say now, just that im extremely confused.
;-; idk if someones supposed to talk to me about it now or i should just awkardly sit here.... T~T

[bronze pumice]

It's okay, you still have a lot of time, I already finished A levels yet still have no clue what to study haha, I would say maybe you could try tutoring your friends and see if you enjoy it, same goes to art, you could try to complete a few drawings each week if you have time :)) and if you like both then maybe you can be a private tutor then work on your drawings during your free time!

[golden trail]

yo i need someone smart rn

[thorny grove]

i c i c :))))) thanksssss this actually clears a lott

:D

[solid bison]

i'm pretty sure you can do bio or chem in A-level with a co-ordinated sciences grade for iGCSE.
i'm doing co-ordinated sciences too (finishing off in M/J 22) and will most likely do a science subject for A-level. 👌 goodluck choosing your subjects (:

[slender jasper]

ok so, you should pick whatever interests you and if it's something bio related that you want to do then pick bio and chem. Biology is reeeeaaaaally easy but that might be because I had bio in my o levels I don't know but chem is really fucking hard.

Besides that natural sciences also open up a lot of career choices in uni. With bio and chem you can do medicine, veterinary science, biochemistry and so on. Obviously you will probably have to work harder than almost every other student in your class to understand but if it's truly something you want to do why not take a chance?

i wanna do math, f-math, chem, phys, and comp sci but i don't wanna do 5 a-levels AAAA i should choose 3 but idk what

[fresh hornet]

Depends on what you want to pursue at uni

[summer mica]

If u big brain u can do it
Ive seen ppl do 7 and 8
And honestly if u grind and not dumb u dont need more than 3 months to get A* in any a level subj imo

Except for maybe practicals

[dense lake]

fr practicals are ass

bruh 7 and 8 a levels

I ha

ve less igcse

lol

[solid bison]

i don't know

[solid bison]

7-8 a-levels? that's crazy af, i only do 8 igcse lmao

[summer mica]

Ye crazy

[hoary rampart]

Ye same bro im doing 8 igcse and im suffering

💀

[slender jasper]

your interests seem to lie in mathematics and computer science obviously

so you can pursue stuff like engineering or computer science in university

if you happen to be like me and love space but actually took related subjects

you can pursue astrophysics (which from what ive heard has a major computer part) or aerospace engineering

or maybe even research in mathematics

generally speaking for these career choices just physics, math and cs should work easy

chem might not be important unless unis in your country (like mine) require chemistry in their entrance tests for any engineering courses

[shadow tree]

If you're taking astrophysics make sure you really like physics because obviously the focus of your degree will be foundations of physics and only a portion of that will be dedicated to astrophysics

I guess that'd be a reminder for every degree, remember that you'll have to learn a lot of background knowledge for that core interest to make sense and that may not always be something you anticipate so research that

[solid bison]

chem seems to be the odd one out tbh so yeah maybe i'll drop that one.
yeah math is probably my main interest with physics and CS around it (i've never studied CS but i'm starting self study before a-level so i can do it then and, well, it interests me).
i've just heard that doing 4 or 5 a-levels is really hard and it's better to do 3 but narrowing down to 3 is hard to choose, you know what i mean?

[lofty thicket]

4 A levels is still good

[solid bison]

aw it's okay, well, we can do this :)

[hoary rampart]

Yeah we can 😌

I mean

Hopefully

[quiet plank]

Honestly i wouldnt see the point theres practically barely any merits to it youd be better off acquiring ECAs in that time

[quiet plank]

Yes i love studying oscillations and circular motion for the entirety of my a2

[summer mica]

Yes i strongly agree, but just saying a fact thats all

[quiet plank]

Fair

[slow widget]

Can someone get into Bsc psychology programs if they don’t have psychology in A levels? Basically my friend is planning to pursue psychology and he doesn’t have psychology A Levels he is in A2.

[shadow tree]

Afaik you can since a lot of schools don't offer it, it's not a requirement

[slow widget]

Okay

Can someone tell me if it is possible to do a double major degree in Bsc from university of cologne

[crimson willow]

Not sure tbh, you can write to them but it does seem like they have double master's degrees

[summer mica]

U probably can
Alot of unis have em and ik people who have done double degrees in v different things (from diff unis tho)
I think its a common thing

[rare delta]

any affordable uni in pak that offers cyber security program

[steep horizon]

No top ranked uni offers a specialized program in cyber sec except FAST. I'd suggest aim for NUST's CS and then go towards cyber sec.

[rare delta]

Doesn’t matter if the uni is pn top or not, I just want it to be affordable

[steep horizon]

u plan to do cyber sec only ? won't cs work?

[rare delta]

I want to specialize in Cybersecurity

[golden bear]

well mate cant you get your degree in CS and then after specialise in cyber sec

[rare delta]

Can u roughly explain this journey with how much time will it take to complete too

[golden bear]

A degree is either 3 or 4 years at uni

Basically you look for computer science programs at uni and pick the one you like

And after you finish uni you specialise on cyber sec

Hello! Just wanted to know what kinds of job opportunities are/will be available for a physics and math double major?

[shadow tree]

in theory pretty much anything that you can get with a physics degree and also banking etc

as a physics and math double major

but then i havent actually started applying for jobs doe

[crimson willow]

You can most industry things that involve theory/math:

• quantitative Finance + Finance in general
• quantum stuff (computing, info theory, etc.)
• Military stuff ofc
• If you lean towards computational stuff then you can do some cs related stuff too

[slow widget]

Alright, thank you so much for responding!

[slow widget]

Thank you!

[slow widget]

That's really cool, what is it like handling both of them together?

[shadow tree]

well ive found that i really like the physics part and dont really like the math part

its a little more work than a single hons degree but then since i havent experienced both i cant tell tbh

also keep in mind that for military stuff it has to be with your own country, for some reason i was saddened that i couldnt intern at GCHQ or BAE so

[slow widget]

Hmm okayyy, also yes, there was a similar criteria for aeronautical engineering a few years back, don't know if they've changed it yet tho

But thank you!

[shadow tree]

its not for the degree itself, just the job opportunities available, and yeah aero has a lot of military applications directly so its v obvious

[slow widget]

Okayyy

Also, I'm sorry if this is the wrong channel for it but generally for someone who's never really done any kind of programming before and wants to self study it, which programming language should I start with and what resources can I use?

[crimson willow]

Start with Python, anything resource that you are comfy is with is good for you

[fresh hornet]

Yeah start from python as Pugs said, it's very easy to learn and understand, and it'll really help build your programming skills

From there you can move to tougher languages like Java

Oh Hi! Job Opportunities With Sciences?

With Chem, Bio And Physics..

[slow widget]

engineering, masters, phd, medical

assuming u have mathematics as well

not sure what you can do without mathematics and only the sciences

also do you mean in terms of applying to University

[celest wedge]

Guys I am currently in my A Levels. My subjects are physics,chemistry,biology,math as well as English. I plan on keeping Math and English only for AS Level. Basically, I plan on going to Germany as it is affordable. I am changing my mind and thinking of doing something related to Neuroscience and Psychology. I don’t have psychology in A Levels. Can someone please guide me in this field? Is it possible to do a double major? What is more better a double major and double degree? What are the career opportunities after Bachelors for this field?

[lofty thicket]

IMO don't drop maths as it might be required

[fading orchid]

Yes

[fading orchid]

Thanks though!

[storm imp]

No, not engineering. You definitely need mathematics for that. But sciences field like biochemistry, neuroscience, medicine is still doable without mathematics, or with just AS-Level mathematics.

[slow widget]

True that

[timid quest]

What are the careers opportunities in CS . I am right now doing A level CS

Anyone?

[slow widget]

CS is one of the widest career opportunity fields. You can work online as well

However, you must check respective uni requirements from their websites

[timid quest]

Okey ..thnks @slow widget

[torn estuary]

Yoo guys quick question

What's harder IGCSE or SATS?

And what do universities prefer more between the two

[slow widget]

You're Welcome

[slow widget]

I don't think there is a comparison coz IGCSE is a full 3 year degree type thing and SAT is just one exam that takes some 2-3 months to prepare. and for Unis, IGCSE or an equivalent grade like GCE, EDEXEL is must, but SAT is more admission based i.e, after Alevels you may or may not have to give SAT depending on the uni requirement.

SAT is like a universal entry test

[onyx trout]

Anyone pursuing Med School generally? (India specifically)

[torn estuary]

Is it possible for me to just take maths SAT and therefore I won't do maths igcse cuz I didn't get ge grade I wanted

[slow widget]

nope, I don't think so. IGCSE is Must, SAT can be optional

[wise eagle]

the SAT is a completely different thing

it can't replace igcse

[lofty thicket]

Ye

You need igcse maths

SAT is like an entrance test

[sullen fractal]

Also IGCSE builds up your core knowledge for A levels.

you can argue some subjects you can get away without IGCSE but for math imo it’s important

[woven dust]

Hiii! does anyone know the requirements for most collages in canada . each site is saying different stuff

also, could someone help me with choosing subjects for IB- i wish to keep my options open in more than 1 stream. so help me choose HL and SL levels for : eng, maths, eco, business, IT, physics

[solemn flame]

hihi

i'm chosing business high level

i cam here to ask the same thing, i just saw past papers for the subjects im planning to choose and freaked

here are the subjects im planning to do for IB

english language and literature HL
french ab initio SL (my college doesn't offer HL, so i have to do SL, and i'm doing alliance on the side)
business management HL
psychology SL (maybe)
biology HL
Mathematics Analysis and Approaches and Mathematics Application and Interpretation HL

psychology SL is freaky

like 9 and 22 mark questions for SL?

i'd rather not, and it isn't important to my course of field anyway

but i find psychology interesting which is why i'm even considering it

anyway, any advice on what i should do?

english lang and lit seems manageable, french ab initio i can do rn too that's vvv easy had me shocked, business management HL is freaky, psychology SL, like i said, not important to my field and very freaky because 22 mark questions, biology HL is something im actually looking forward to and seems vv manageable, math HL i can't find any past papers (for Mathematics Analysis and Approaches and Mathematics Application and Interpretation at least)

[rancid ocean]

Any good career for A level school leavers? I enjoy business and economics but i find accounting hard. Maths in between interms of difficulty level

[sullen fractal]

Don’t freak out about past papers,you haven’t done the subjects yet. Go through the syllabus and a very brief flip through of the TB

[solemn flame]

here’s the thing, i’m finding it difficult to write 8 mark questions for eco in igcse, and i can manage business because i know i can but i’m not sure if i can manage psychology

[woven dust]

hiii. guys i’m planning to go for either a career course in business or business IT, i have to choose my subjects accordingly for IB - so, this is my current choice . someone, please advise —

1. Eng Lang and Lit at SL ( i will have to take about 5 other exams - TOFEL, ILETS, SAT, ACT etc. so i think i can take eng SL). 2. Physics SL (just want to keep my options open ). 3. Business / eco SL 4. Business / eco at HL (someone please tell me if eco is more imp or business for the same i wrote above . i’m sooo confused 😭😭) 5. IT at HL(can someone tell me what techno subject is good in IB design and technology or just IT). 6. Maths AA at HL

[slender jasper]

ok so i have a bit of a conundrum

i had taken pre medical subjects in my a levels (bio, chem and physics)

and i gave my country's medical entrance exam

i got into a med school

(classes haven't started yet btw)

and now the whole admissions process of med school is over im realising how much more interest i have in space and astrophysics

I've always loved physics in my o levels and the interest fell a bit in my As

[solemn flame]

for a career in business, i think business is more important

[solemn flame]

[slender jasper]

but in my A levels, studying physics was the most depressing thing ever. I don't know whether it's because of the fact i like the theories not the math or if it's because of the whole corona thing and i how much workload i had to go through at the end because of how the schools were closed throughout the year

i LOVE biology and chemistry don't get me wrong but space and stuff is a lot more interesting to me

now i don't know if i should continue my med school journey or if i should try applying for astrophysics. What if im just miserable studying physics just so i can do the one cool thing i like

i just don't know man

also in biology i prefer more in depth stuff like the workings of the immune system, biochemistry in general and hormonal pathways but generally HATE body stuff like anatomy and physiology (this is all based on what little i studied in a levels ofc) and my interests lie more on research side

i know doctors do dabble in some research and some specialties mostly do research (especially the ones based around pathways and not overall body stuff) but what if im miserable doing medicine as well

i don't know what to pick

hey got a question

so a minor is a side degree you can take with your major degree right?

all these applications are asking which major im choosing

if im admitted

do i get to choose a minor then?

[clear vessel]

not which minors im interested in. Only which majors im choosing

[small turtle]

@slow widget

[slow widget]

different unis have different policies but in general, a minor has less credits, so like if a major has 76 credits, a minor will only have 18, and yeah you can choose to do a minor

[dire latch]

if i'm not wrong it depends on the uni and country

like

in india we don't have minors in a lot of places

but in the us you can do a minor

correct me if i'm wrong someone

Depends on what uni you want to go to and their requirements, but most likely yes you might need to retake

[broken swallow]

Could be done better in A2 too

[fresh hornet]

Again it depends on what grade the university needs, if you believe you can get a really great score like 90-95+ in A2 Physics, you might be able to bring your average up to like a B

i can't afford to go to the uk for medicine cause they have an exorbitant fee. where do you guys suggest i apply for undergrad medicine (MBBS)? my home country is not an option

[torn estuary]

question here!
is a degree in information technology somewhat similar to software engineering or does it just have its core principles?
or is there something i dont know off
i just wanna know if it have any small or big differences

[broken swallow]

Thanks for info

[idle pollen]

you could look at the curriculum and syllabus of each stream from a university to see if any of the classes overlap

[sullen nymph]

would it be possible to enter a marketing job with a management in information systems degree (bonus points w/ a minor in marketing)?

[smoky linden]

Hi, I need help reconsidering my career choice (with the fact of me getting a C in AS math). I really wanted to pursue actuarial science but it seems unlikely if this repeats in A2. So to prepare for the worse, can anyone advice for any alternatives?

[bronze pumice]

Resit for AS maybe? I've seen some unis even require an A for Maths, and if you're not fond of maths especially statistics it's not advisable to take actuarial science as it can be quite daunting since it's like a whole new ball game

[smoky linden]

I’d rather avoid resitting for AS and rather dedicate my resources on getting the best possible mark at A2. I really enjoy math, it’s just that last year was a cluster fuck that lead me to getting a C. I’m typically an A student. So I’m confident that I can get an A with my A2 results. I’m just planning for worst case scenarios.

[sullen fractal]

AS grade is 50% of your total A level, if you know your component marks you can work out roughly how much you’ll need in A2 to get an A.

From that you can decide if it’s realistic

[shadow tree]

@small turtle

[broken swallow]

E grade in As and B in A2 will i get C in A level ??

[onyx trout]

ohh

[slender jasper]

i suppose of it's a pretty high B and E you might have s chance idk

[shadow tree]

you can add up the component marks and check

[onyx trout]

yes that should work

at least it did for me...

[snow creek]

Hi there everyone is anyone here pursuing a degree in actuarial science? I have been doing a lot of research these days. Is actuarial science rly so tough for most ppl? At least that is wht I have heard from many graduates

[flat meadow]

what is that?

[fading orchid]

i heard biological sciences is the best field ..

the dna/rna

nd stuff

[snow creek]

[flat meadow]

oh

[slow widget]

Ionno why I kept assuming it had something to do with fish

Also I have short listed future ventures to seven fields lmao

[snow creek]

😆

[snow creek]

ah damn

[gaunt quartz]

<@&572709257036955649> you should prolly ban them or smth

[fair sedge]

What can I do if I do not meet the English requirements for university?

[rocky finch]

yea i know right, its probably that one single thing that pisses me off. i reccommend finding a university that doesnt require any english scores or another way is to retake the test

..............................................................

sorry for changing the topic does IGCSE's english test count from this as well?

[fair sedge]

Nope I need to pass AS English with flying colours

I passed IGCSE English language ( C grade)and English literature (B grade)

[rocky finch]

im talking about the image below btw

[fair sedge]

Yeah ik what that is. It does not count.

[rocky finch]

oh really

[fair sedge]

Since I would be a domestic student

[rocky finch]

what is it then?

[fair sedge]

AS English Language or Literature with at least a D grade

For domestic students

For international students it is allowed

[rocky finch]

so its an AS eXam

[fair sedge]

Yeah I think I might fail AS

[rocky finch]

work hard and you should pass

[fair sedge]

I tried reading the book and the plot is so complicated ngl

[fair sedge]

I tried my hardest for IGCSE and even got lucky with exam questions but still I probably scored around 45%

I did get A*s in the others and have already met the requirements for maths

[fresh hornet]

as long as you have an AS English teacher/tutor who's Cambridge trained and knows what kind of essays get good marks, you should be fine

[thick hill]

What can maths physics economics Get me?

For A level

Well our guidance counselor wants to give me Compsci,DT and Economics

Which I find outrageous and don’t want

[iron hill]

I'm stuck choosing between MUFY, A-Levels or AUSMAT

[snow creek]

MUFY: only if u r fond of getting into Monash/some private universities do accept this qualification/accepted by some Australian unis/ coursework (70%) and exam (30%) if not mistaken/ approx 1 year/ specific course selection/ eng will be required

A-levels: aiming for top unis in the UK and around the world/worldwide recognition/fully examination based/approx 1.5 years/wider range of choices (not so specific)/3-4 subjects or more

AUSMAT: accepted by Australia and some private universities (and other countries like Germany)/ 50 50 coursework and exam/ approx 1 year/ english as a dialect or first lang eng will be required

[fair sedge]

I did have one for IGCSE

I tried literally what they told me to write in the exam

Didn’t work for IGCSE

[warm panther]

do not click on it

[rancid ocean]

Is there any good opportunities for economics majors? i don't really like accounting but i enjoy economics and business

[acoustic estuary]

I study in Pakistan and am currently doing my IGCSE though receive mediocre grades in the national subject 'Pak studies' which is national geography and history, If i receive such grades in my finals, bringing down my average, will foreign universities be bothered or will they mainly focus on other subjects for example sciences, maths etc

[dire latch]

no, i got 7A*s out of 8 subjects but a stinking B in Hindi (I'm from India, although I'm actually south Indian) but people told me not to worry and subjects that aren't important in college won't matter

[dire latch]

just make sure your A level subjects or 11th and 12th grade subjects are related to what you wanna study somewhat in college and get good grades in them

[dire latch]

do well in math and other core subjects for IGCSE

[acoustic estuary]

yeah i have been doing great in them

[dire latch]

then you're chill

[acoustic estuary]

and am unsure if for my future thus i kept all subs and its going well

[acoustic estuary]

aight ez dub then

[dire latch]

yup that's the best

[acoustic estuary]

cause if i dont like a sub i can just drop it later on than take it if i had dropped it prior

[summer sand]

Hi, I'm in Zimbabwe, currently doing IGCSEs and I hope to finish O Level and go straight to an ivy league uni like Stanford. Is it possible? If so, any tips?

[lofty thicket]

You mean finish A levels right

[summer sand]

O Level when I'm around 16 and go straight for an undergraduate.

[lofty thicket]

Idts you can, you need to do IB/A levels/AP

Especially in a big university like stanford

@summer sand

[broken swallow]

How we can get scholarship for uk uni guyz??

[broken swallow]

If i drop chem in A2 and i have passed in that subject in As then what will it be considered ?

[shadow tree]

For the UK they usually only ask for full a levels

3 full a levels excluding general paper and thinking skills

[civic robin]

you need to do a levels or IB before going for undergraduate

[tardy stag]

what can i do with a level physics maths and chem?

can i do medicine?

[tardy stag]

where can i find those scholarships

[broken swallow]

If i complete As in m/j 2022 and can i complete A2 in oct/nov 2022??

[sullen fractal]

No

AS lasts for a year

[wise eagle]

yes

but it isn't going to be nice

[wise eagle]

that's less than a year

[broken swallow]

I mean retake in m/j and A2 in oct/nov of same year

[wise eagle]

you can

[sullen fractal]

Holy shit I’m actually r word

My bad you can @broken swallow

I thought he meant 2023 Oct/Nov

[wise eagle]

wait can you do A2 twice with the same AS grades

like if I did AS in Oct 2021

and then I do A2 in May 2022

but your AS grades are valid till Oct 2022

so can I do A2 again in Oct 2022 if the May ones don't go well

[sullen fractal]

I think they want to improve their AS grade

[sullen fractal]

You’re asking?

[wise eagle]

yeah I am asking for myself

[sullen fractal]

Oh lol

Yea you can resist A2 only with the October 2021 AS Grades

[unreal canopy]

guys can I study computer science at University without maths A-levels by any chance

[sullen fractal]

Like ramen said itllbe hard to do that but not impossible. Maybe take composite(all the papers at once) in October November 2021

[unreal canopy]

in ENGLAND

UK

[wise eagle]

oh nice

[sullen fractal]

I seriously doubt that, since CS is a lot of maths

[wise eagle]

probably not

[unreal canopy]

so does even foundation courses require maths A-levels

for entry

[sullen fractal]

Check the uni website

[broken swallow]

Math is must for comp in uni dude

[sullen fractal]

Yea like you don’t even need A level CS for a lot of unis but you need math

[golden bear]

you need maths since the unis assume you havent ever done in your life

[unreal canopy]

yeah I have like QMUL doesn't have any speciifc grade requirements for computer science and they require AAB-AAA if you haven't studied maths or computer science at A-level but wondering whether it would be suitable or not

I really wanna do computer science as well

[golden bear]

and even if you get in you'd need to work your life away understanding the maths

if you havent done it in a levels

[broken swallow]

Depends in the course

[unreal canopy]

How hard is it

if QMUL doesn't require maths for computer science generally the gcse knowledge should be enough

or

should I do a foundation year

[golden bear]

if you havent done a level maths its gonna be really really hard

[unreal canopy]

in computer science first

[golden bear]

or even AS maths

[unreal canopy]

should I do a foundation year beforehand

[sullen fractal]

Have a look at the course modules

[golden bear]

do you not have the option to take a level maths?

[unreal canopy]

yeah and?

[unreal canopy]

I only got a grade 6

needed

a grade 7

for my sixth form

[unreal canopy]

yeah and?

[golden bear]

if you're really good at CS then yeah you might cope with it

[unreal canopy]

haven't studied computer science for gcse or A-levels

[golden bear]

but id recommend a foundation year

[sullen fractal]

I haven’t researched CS but looking at the modules you should get a pretty good idea of the math involved.

[golden bear]

then yeah do a foundation year

because biology, business and psychology have nothing to do with CS

[wise eagle]

that's fine but I think you should do math

[golden bear]

or what the best thing to do is

self-study maths

and take it as a private candidate

[unreal canopy]

maths AS-levels

[wise eagle]

what about it
