Tbf that is all there is to it

tardy nest
#

alpine anchor
#

Specific difference vary from subject to subject

#

U should view the syllabus for those

raven plinth
#

Isn't Cambridge like a father that has multiple boards, caie, edexcel and such while as level is another "father"?

alpine anchor
#

No

#

Caie is caie

#

Edexcell is edxcell

#

Afaik

raven plinth
#

Doesn't Cambridge "own" caie tho

steady ginkgo
#

But similar

alpine anchor
#

Yea they do

steady ginkgo
#

Idk why am I even here bye

raven plinth
#

That's what I meant

#

Cambridge is like the father of caue

rancid iron
#

okay i didnt notice that but yeah

#

@alpine anchor okay sooo look um rn i did cambridge in igcse

#

now im doing edexcel in as level

#

would this change anything when i apply to uni

raven plinth
#

@knotty oriole I believe she can be the best help

alpine anchor
#

Not really iirc

#

They dont ask for A levels from a specific board in my experience

#

But ofc

#

@knotty oriole

#

raven plinth
#

@rancid iron feel free to ask if you have any more doubts

knotty oriole
#

No worries!

rancid iron
#

Sure will do H5_smile

rancid iron
#

@knotty oriole @alpine anchor Im sorry is there english as first language as level?

knotty oriole
#

For CAIE yes

#

Edexcel idk

#

There is yep

rancid iron
#

and i think im going for caie

knotty oriole
#

Why?

#

I mean nothing wrong with either board at all

rancid iron
#

ik but edexcel is strict in their corrections

#

of the papers

#

miss a keyword and u lose a mark

knotty oriole
#

They allow you to retake indivual papers so

#

Same with CAIE

rancid iron
#

ik i meant caie is better with correction papers

rancid iron
knotty oriole
#

For the sciences at least, they mark based on keywords

rancid iron
#

yeah but they arent as strict as edexcel

#

i got an A in my predicted grades in maths and they gave me an A*

knotty oriole
#

From what I've heard CAIE content is harder and papers are easier than Edexcel I think

knotty oriole
#

Maths isn't subjective

rancid iron
#

no this was the final predicted grades like i cant improve anymore

#

i literally got 3 B(s

#

)

#

and maybe 1 A

knotty oriole
#

Ahh TAGs

#

In that case it's the system being fucky wuvky

rancid iron
#

i really love physics i want it too but idk what to do i cant mix bio and physics they both lengthy

knotty oriole
#

You can't be relying on that my man

#

It's fucked a lot of people in both directions

knotty oriole
rancid iron
rancid iron
#

sciences and maths

knotty oriole

rancid iron
#

Also any idea whats required in english to study in europe?

knotty oriole
rancid iron

knotty oriole
#

There's no second or first language in AL

rancid iron
#

#

it doesnt matter whether i took second or firss?

knotty oriole
#

Nope

rancid iron
#

okay thanks also im sorry last question

knotty oriole
#

No worries go on

rancid iron
#

if i didnt study as level english i should do first languge igcse?

knotty oriole
#

For Europe they usually want any language at A Level

#

Doesn't matter what you do at IG

rancid iron
#

oh including the uk?

#

coz i have checked unis at glasgow

knotty oriole
#

For the UK you can pass off with IELTS

#

That's what I did

rancid iron
#

oh okay then

knotty oriole
#

But idk if they used that or not

#

Ahh Scotland is different

#

Idk how different but they do some things differently

rancid iron
#

okay so mainly in englad IELTS can pull it off

knotty oriole
#

Yepp
