should I take Maths AS-levels

wise eagle
#

AS and A2

unreal canopy
#

I won't be able to do 4 A-levels within 18 months

sullen fractal
#

You said you’re looking at QQML right?

unreal canopy
#

Queen's Mary of London

wise eagle
#

you can do the AS exam and self study A2 without appearing for it

unreal canopy
#

QMUL

sullen fractal
#

Yea sorry

unreal canopy
wise eagle
#

like don't give the cie exam

sullen fractal
#

You need A level math or CS as one of AAB/ABB

#

So you have to take the full a level math

wise eagle
#

oh then you'll have to do it

unreal canopy
#

the entry requiremnts are one grade higher

sullen fractal
#

There’s no way around it

unreal canopy
#

AAB-AAA

sullen fractal
#

Uhh I don’t think that’s how it works

unreal canopy
#

if you don't have computer science or maths

unreal canopy
wise eagle
#

can you send a ss

sullen fractal
#

unreal canopy
unreal canopy
sullen fractal
#

It doesn’t make sense tho

unreal canopy
#

How come

#

it does to me

#

cause they don't offer a foundation course for computer science either

sullen fractal
#

You could have 3 random subjects unrelated but A* A* A*. If you get ABB all of a sudden you need to have math or CS

unreal canopy
#

so you I just need

#

3 AAA

#

and I can do the computer science course at QMUL

unreal canopy
#

are there

sullen fractal
#

I’m not completely sure so don’t take my word on it

#

Either email the uni or someone else can help

unreal canopy
#

like are they heavily based on computer science

#

alright

#

does no one here take computer science at QMUL

@unreal canopy

#

The entry requirements is saying

#

In order to get an admission offer or whatever. You need to be taking either Math or CS or both (your choice). The grades you get in your results must be B or Above

unreal canopy
#

Yes however

#

you can

#

still do

#

computer science

#

if you don't have maths or computer science A-level

#

if you get AAB-AAA

slow widget
#

For example this is a results card that will get an admission vs a card which will not get one:

Math - B
Physics - B
Chemisy A


Computer science - C
Math - A
Chemistry - B

slow widget
#

Wait

unreal canopy
#

should I self study AS-level Maths to prepare myself for computer science

#

and take it in the November series

slow widget
#

@sullen fractal he or she is right though

sullen fractal
#

Ik they worded it like that but it doesn’t make sense to me

slow widget
#

Grades AAB in any subject i think? (The requirements is vague as fuck) or alternatively..

#

Bro whoever wrote that needs to retake AS English

#

Shitty misleading Requirements

unreal canopy
slow widget
#

Yea email them

sullen fractal
#

Yea that’s your safest option

unreal canopy
#

However that seems to be the case though

slow widget
#

Email for confirmation

slow widget
#

@unreal canopy although

#

Despite how it is worded

#

I strongly believe that you need at least Either Math or Computer Science to get an admission

#

Still ask em tho

unreal canopy
#

did you take a look

#

at the

slow widget
#

Yes

unreal canopy
#

website link

slow widget
#

I did

unreal canopy
#

I showed you

slow widget
#

Yes

unreal canopy
#

yeah

slow widget
#

But

#

Like

#

If someone has German, French and English AAA like @sullen fractal said

#

Will they get an admission

unreal canopy
#

I could self study AS-level Maths

slow widget
#

😐

unreal canopy
#

and do the exams in November

#

and get the results before the januarary deadline

sullen fractal
slow widget
#

Is A level math that difficult that you can't do it without a tutor? (Genuine question)@sullen fractal

#

I'm tryna self study all my A levels

#

0 tutor

sullen fractal
slow widget
#

Thank God

unreal canopy
#

first of all

#

they said

#

they degree course

#

is catered

#

so that even if your a novice

slow widget
#

@unreal canopy email them

unreal canopy
#

at computer science

#

you could still do the course

slow widget
#

E m a i l & I n q u i r e

unreal canopy
#

I wanna know

#

I do that tomorrow

#

when they open

wise eagle
#

most computer science courses assume you don't have any knowledge in cs

#

but idk about math

unreal canopy
#

I really wanna know how many people who haven't studied maths or computer science got into QMUL

#

and what they personal statements were like

#

and what extra curricular clubs they did

#

and what they did outside of school

#

and any relevant work experience they could of done

slow widget

#

did yall see someone stole a personal statement

sullen fractal

on r/6thform

#

Plagiarism

unreal canopy

did it

#

and what happened

#

to the guy

sullen fractal
#

idk but i read it a week ago

unreal canopy
#

so what's the story

#

how did they know someone stole someone's personal statement btw

slow widget
#

Someone else probably wrote it

#

Someone saw it

#

Copy paste

#

stolen

#

it's not like it's copyrighted or anything

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

unreal canopy
#

yeah but

#

you can't do that

#

cause

#

they would know

#

ucas

slow widget
#

Well they did.

unreal canopy
#

would know

slow widget
#

What?

#

They can do sm?

unreal canopy
#

UCAS

#

HAS THIS ROBOT AND PLAGRAISM CHECKER THAT CHECKS FOR ANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT AND OTHERS SO IF YOU BEEN CAUGHT COPYING SOMEONE'S ELSE THEY WILL NOTIFY THE UNIVERSITIES YOU HAVE APPLIED FOR

#

AND THAT COULD LEAD TO YOUR OFFER BEING WITHDRAWN

unreal canopy
slow widget
#

That's uh called

#

My mom uses it

#

Turnitin

#

Or something

#

It generally checks plagiarism

#

In thesis', papers etc

wise eagle

#

Because she's capping

🥶 🥶 🥶

unreal canopy
unreal canopy

its all true

@slow widget prove me wrong if you don't believe it by actually googling it yourself

@slow widget

it proves I am right

I wonder does any of you guys actually live in England

slow widget

Relax

unreal canopy
#

sorry

slow widget
#

💪 😎

unreal canopy
#

ohh nice

#

still @slow widget do you think

#

that self studying

#

AS-level maths

#

would be helpful

#

and may make QMUL look at my application more favourably

sullen fractal
#

Also some glitch in the matrix shit is happening cause I vividly remember seeing a post about someone stealing one

Hi, So I have to choose between IB or IG for my 11th and 12th and I cant decide. So any suggestions would be helpful to make my decision clear for me.

coral cedar
dire latch
dreamy skiff
wise eagle
#

isnt IB equivalent to A Levels?

#

not IG?

sullen fractal
lofty thicket
#

Yea

dire latch
# dreamy skiff What about in terms of scoring? Is IB harder or IG?

IG is till 10th grade. A levels is equivalent to IB in course content, etc. The only reason ppl say IB is harder is bc you have to do portfolios and essays but the thing is A level students who want to apply to the US, etc have to do those things anyways except it's not part of the coursework (like research and stuff)

dire latch
# coral cedar yes

yeah but A level students who want to go to US/ Canada unis (which is what most IB students aim for) have to do that kind of work anyways just that it's outside of schoolwork. But if you're talking in terms of only the course then IB has more but A levels is as good as IB in content

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but are there any useful websites or ways I can find out what degrees would interest me. (fyi: I am doing biology, chemistry, maths and further maths)
So I want to be looking towards something biochem related (but I'd also like to see what other degrees related to my A levels could offer me)

#

Yo I have a question in mind

#

do I need social studies in IGCSE O or A levels to apply for a mechanical engineering course in University

#

I want to drop social studies if it is not required

unreal canopy
#

Normally you wouldn’t need social studies to do a engineering course however that’s only for England may be different for other parts of the world

toxic fable
#

oh aight thanks : D

lofty thicket
#

I need advice 😭 I plan to take Physics, Chemistry, Maths and CS in A levels and am interested in technology

#

Idk which field to go into tho

wise eagle
#

that's perfect then

sullen fractal
#

Those are good subjects and open up a lot of doors. You still have some time to decide what you want to do specifically in technology

lofty thicket
#

True

snow creek
lofty thicket
#

Subjects are choosen

snow creek
#

my bad hahhaa

snow creek
#

but those subjects can lead u to various fields

#

perfect for engineering and CS/tech related

lofty thicket
#

One of the reasons to choose those Subjects is that they are very 'open' to most STEM feilds

snow creek
#

i did my a levels in these few subjects as well, apart from cs

lofty thicket
#

Cool

twilit atlas
fair sedge
#

Mechatronics engineering is also another good option

#

It will use something you learned from all the subjects

#

A level CS doesn’t have that much coding in it unfortunately

#

We only learn coding for like 2-3 weeks in AS and like 5 weeks in A2

lofty thicket
#

Depends on your school

fair sedge
#

Yeah I guess

#

But it’s much worse than expected for me

#

There is I just so much stuff in it that I have to cram

#

I think an average student gets a high D in AS computer science and C in A level computer science :/

lofty thicket
#

Idts

fair sedge
#

Ok but I was surprised by that lol

lofty thicket
fair sedge

Ok

Do you want to become a Lawyer in the UK

Nah I mean

twilit atlas

Only this book, general paper

unreal canopy
#

Which universities you thinking of applying to

twilit atlas
#

I still dk tbh

unreal canopy
#

You also would need a personal statement

#

For Uk Universities

twilit atlas
#

Wdym personal statement?

unreal canopy
twilit atlas
#

No

unreal canopy
# twilit atlas Wdym personal statement?

I mean writing a personal statement about yourself in England when your applying to universities in England everyone is required to write a personal statement as that strengthens an applicants application

unreal canopy
twilit atlas
unreal canopy
#

@twilit atlas which universities in England your considering of gonna to

twilit atlas
#

Idk tbh

#

Still haven’t researched abt that yet

#

But do thry really focus on the o level grades?

unreal canopy
#

Russel Group Universities are generally good ngl

twilit atlas
#

Oh

shadow tree
twilit atlas
#

Good news lol

unreal canopy
#

Application

shadow tree
#

It would help but if you can prove your academic strengths with the LNAT or other supercurriculars they could overlook your IGs

unreal canopy
twilit atlas
#

So like i got a D in art, theyre not gonna look at that

unreal canopy
#

Or O-level

#

Grades

twilit atlas
#

I got an A* in arabic
2 A in english and IT
C bio and math
D art

shadow tree
#

The C is math might be slightly problematic however

twilit atlas
#

Shiii

unreal canopy
#

Nah

twilit atlas
#

Its hard tbh

shadow tree
#

What were your AS grades

unreal canopy
#

Wait so you got A*A A CC D

twilit atlas
#

Im still studing AS, im taking It arabic and english

twilit atlas
unreal canopy
#

Loads of universities require only a C in Maths O-levels /GCSEs

twilit atlas
#

I want a scholarship too

#

Thats what im scared of

unreal canopy
twilit atlas
#

With this marks

unreal canopy
#

It’s so fucking hard to get a scholarship anywhere

twilit atlas
#

In canada we have to get atleast a B to get it

shadow tree
#

Scholarships in the UK for undergrad are basically nonexistent

shadow tree
#

Except the 2/3k for A*s at a level

unreal canopy
#

You would tend to see lower rank universities offering higher scholarships

twilit atlas
#

So if i get A* in AS i can get a scholarship

shadow tree
unreal canopy
shadow tree
#

Lmao

twilit atlas
#

I mean like A

shadow tree
#

Nop you would have to actually get the a level grade

#

You'd get admission based on predicted

#

And scholarship only when you receive the grades

twilit atlas
#

Thats so complicated

unreal canopy
#

@twilit atlas many universities in England don’t even consider your AS grades tbh

twilit atlas
#

Oh

unreal canopy
#

They only look at your predicted UCAS grade

twilit atlas
#

Then what do they consider

shadow tree
#

Well the problem is a lot of people give up after getting predicted and getting admission

twilit atlas
unreal canopy
#

What your predicted to get into Universities

shadow tree
#

So it wouldn't make sense to give them the scholarship yk

unreal canopy
unreal canopy
twilit atlas
#

I?

#

Wtf

shadow tree
unreal canopy
#

Yes UCAS grades is basically your teacher prediction of the grade your gonna to get for A2

twilit atlas
#

Oh ok

shadow tree
unreal canopy
unreal canopy
#

However majority

#

Of people

#

In England

#

Don’t do AS anymore

#

They only do A2

#

So they rely solely on internal exams and mocks done by teachers in there school

#

Instead of external exams

twilit atlas
#

Does anyone know anything abt canada scholarships ?

@slow widget

twilit atlas

Someone told me my grades has to be atleast a B to get one

I want atleast hald

@shadow tree do you know if doing the LNAT would strength your application

#

I am applying for Law at Durham University

How's medicine in the UK?

#

Like what are the requirements for scholarships

unreal canopy
lofty thicket
#

Hmmmm

unreal canopy
shadow tree
#

For medicine not even that + more expensive than other courses

lofty thicket
#

Ah

shadow tree
#

Most scholarships exclude medical students

unreal canopy
shadow tree
#

But I'm not sure if there are medical specific ones instead

unreal canopy
#

However section B has no points

#

It’s based on essay writing

unreal canopy
#

@lofty thicket you want to study medicine at university

shadow tree
#

By good score I mean good relative to the normal applicant average

#

I'm not familiar with the application process for law at all

unreal canopy
#

I just be aiming for 35 or something

lofty thicket
shadow tree
#

Your best bet would be to check the Durham website

unreal canopy
#

In the LNAT

unreal canopy
shadow tree
#

But they'll have requirements

lofty thicket
#

@shadow tree what course you doing in which university?

shadow tree
#

Try messaging students through unibuddy, it's a portal where you can talk to current uni students and ask them questions about applications and life at uni

unreal canopy
#

Yeah which is A* A A

shadow tree
lofty thicket
#

Cool

#

Did you get scholarship?

shadow tree
#

Fuck I need to get dressed and leave for a lecture😂 😂

shadow tree
unreal canopy
#

Bruh

#

Only 2K

shadow tree
#

But keep in mind other unis would give more

lofty thicket
#

So less

shadow tree
#

4 A* actually but unis only consider 3 so

unreal canopy
#

There this university in Scotland that offers a 40K scholarship

shadow tree
#

UoM has a requirement of A* A* A for physics

#

So keep that in mind

#

And this year the requirement itself is 3 A*

shadow tree
unreal canopy
unreal canopy
#

Yet in England home students pay 9k per year

shadow tree
#

Yeah I know 🥲

#

But as an international that seems very nice too

#

And Scotland does just about anything they can to spite England soooo

lofty thicket
#

How much is your fees if you don't mind telling

shadow tree
#

25k but 23 with the scholarship

lofty thicket
#

Euros right

shadow tree
#

Pounds

lofty thicket
#

Oki

shadow tree
#

Mine is an auto renewing scholarship but some are not

#

See if there's anything you can qualify for from your government

lofty thicket
#

Per year or for the entire course?

shadow tree
#

Because unis have country specific scholarships

#

Per year

lofty thicket
#

Rip

shadow tree
#

I just wasn't eligible for any Indian ones because I didn't live there

#

And Saudi doesn't offer anything to non nationals

lofty thicket
#

Ah

#

That's actually a lotta money at least for me

shadow tree
#

It is, there's no denying it and while I'm grateful I'm able to afford the situation, a lot of people can't

#

But there are a lot of alternatives in Europe

#

I know there's a uni in Stockholm and one in Finland that has English courses

#

And Groningen in the Netherlands

lofty thicket
#

Then again you should be able to get a better job graduating from that uni so it's kinda worth it

shadow tree
#

And you wouldn't be paying even the yearly fee in the UK for your full degree

unreal canopy
#

Durham University offers a 13k scholarship for home students

shadow tree
#

If you're doing medicine at any decent uni you're automatically fairly employable

I am not interested in med was just asking for someone else

I am more towards technological feilds

twilit atlas
#

Where is the most cheap uni ???

shadow tree
lofty thicket
#

That's one of the factors

#

Double degree would be good in that case as I'd have to live abroad for only like 2 years

shadow tree
#

No?

#

As far as I know the shortest degree is the 3 years

lofty thicket
#

Hmmmm

#

Idk much

#

Still have 2 years to decide what to do

#

Double degrees are just more work😂 not less time

lofty thicket
#

Hmmmm

I say this as a person doing a dual Hons degree

#

It is definitely not less headache

lofty thicket

You study at 2 universities right

So here for example, I've heard that like you stay here 2 years then 2 years abroad in a different partnered university

That's the most expensive one tho

Most bigger schools cost like 20k +

shadow tree

That's still very expensive!!

Hey everyone Is it possible to apply for med school wit 3 subjects (bio, Chem and eng) on AS level while math and phy on igcse level🤔

No I don't think so

You will probably need math/physics, bio, chem at an A2 level and English on an AS level

But it depends on the university

So you should check the websites of the universities you're interested in

You'll find that a lot of courses despite being called a different branch have a lot of common themes - My bachelors and first masters for example is in Computer Systems Engineering - but I shared modules with Electronics and Communications Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering students. To answer your question though, mechanical engineering is probably focused on topics such as thermodynamics, models, and anything to do with creating motion and energy. Whereas Manufacturing focuses on creation of new products - and designing systems that create those new products. But again, you'll see so much overlap between them.

We had a joke in engineering that we build Missiles, and Civil engineers build the targets.

hi i wanna ask if there's anyone who ordered TOEFL test (via ETS website), but couldn't take the test due to technical issues from the test provider (in this case, it is actually the proctor)

#

i was referred to talk it under college & uni, but i dunno where to talk under the category

#

tbh i already asked for a refund (as it wasn't my fault), but it's been a whole month ETS didn't respond any of my emails

#

now i completely don't have any idea on how to solve this case

slow widget
#

So it is a centre's fault?

lofty thicket
#

@slow widget might know about this

slow widget
#

Ik it can be expensive but if they don't respond by email then thats your best bet

hoary ember
#

i haven't

#

as it is too pricy

hoary ember
#

so i can't take the test

hoary ember
slow widget
#

Um when I did mine I entered the room and the test screen was already there

#

It didn't ask for a code

#

Are you sure it wanted a code?

#

Also did you talk to the invigilator?

#

Ask them for it?

hoary ember
#

no

#

like this, i clicked the "Start the test" button from ETS, then i visited the proctorU page

hoary ember
#

when it should show the button to me, so that i could join it

#

like a ZOOM meeting

slow widget
#

You clicked start the test and then it wanted a code?

hoary ember

when you click and "open with ZOOM app" button should appear for you

#

Okay

hoary ember
#

oh ya, fyi I've asked ProctorU to help me with this case, but after 5 emails, they gave up and referred me back to ETS

Oh and when you clicked start the test what happened?

#

ugh this case made me headache for days

Okay so um did you live chat with them during the test?

hoary ember
#

like, sorry not to brag, but name it

#

i've done everything but not the international call

slow widget
#

Okay then I don't know how to help but it looks like you've been scammed here

hoary ember
#

uh oh

#

but dude the ETS?

#

DARED TO DO SUCH CHEAP THING?

slow widget
#

I mean I can't come up with any other explanation because you already contacted them so many times

#

What did the person in the live chat say?

hoary ember
#

and after all of that, they gave up

#

this is from ProctorU team

#

but the ETS, not a single letter or word

#

This is weird

#

Why would such a big company risk its reputation like this

#

btw thanks man for listening about my case here

#

May I ask why didn't you write it in a centre?

slow widget
hoary ember
#

what?

hoary ember
#

like contacting their representatives?

Like why didn't you go and do it in one of the toefl centers

hoary ember
#

ahh

slow widget
#

No like do the exam in a centre

hoary ember
slow widget
#

Oh okay

#

My take on this is

#

Go to one of the test centres

#

In your country

#

And ask if they can contact ets on your behalf

#

And see if they can do anything

#

I doubt they can but like no other option here

hoary ember
#

hmm good idea, but is it like appropriate?

#

but whatever i'll try this

#

thanks for suggesting

slow widget
#

I'm not sure if that's allowed

#

So I'd check before you do it

hoary ember
#

well i'm still listening for other options from ppl in here

slow widget
#

But i can't think of anything else

#

And your welcome

if any1 here could help me in solving this case, I am welcomed to listen to it from you

You should message all three with each CC'd, write in detail exactly what happened but keep it short. Demand the refund. They usually don't argue with it. Let me know what happens. Sorry about the late response. Hope it's already resolved. Could you let me know which country you're in? DM me privately. Sorry, I don't usually check this when I'm not at work - Also it might take 14 days for them to respond in some cases.

I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT I WANT FROM MY LIFE. Over one side, I see a philosopher/writer in myself. Over one side I see an engineer/Doctor in my self. Over one side I see a pilot inside myself. I can’t seem to decide what to do. I have no parental pressure. They just want to see me happy and financially stable. I am confused and having a panic attack.
What if I don’t get good grades. If I get a grade like C. Should I give composite or give it in October? Ir should I just go with the flow.

#

if that doesn't help you, try to research every job that you wish to do in the future (or at least, try to find out what they should learn and know before taking the job)

#

then, try to answer, "why should i have to take this job? what makes me feel suitable at this job? is it benefit for me and the others?"

#

hope it helps

#

oh ya not to forget about this, every decision has its own risk

try to take a suitable amount or the job that has the risk amount that you can take care of. Not the least and not the greatest amount of risk

I am having difficulty finding a proper career path due to my weird subject selection for AS
They are:
Biology
Chemistry
IT
I took them because I do sort of good in them nothing too proud of. I have searched myself for colleges but most require if I go for science physics or if IT then math. I found some that don't fit the criteria but those are very limited/rare,. Idk what to do or choose. Currently in AS doing may,June exams.

If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
