#What can i do with my subjects
496 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
the best bet u have is to do econ and business in a levels with math and do finance
oh is finance good?
realistically u cant do shit with ur options i cant lie to u
are u good in core maths atleast
oof what do u think i should do can i change my subjects
nope so bad
please be real, ur bad at core math?
HOW BRO JUST HOW
anyways then dont bother taking math at level
do econ business and accounting and do business management in uni
i have no idea what other thing u can do really
i try my hardest but keep failing
how dude u measure lines and angles in that math
mensuration biggest enemy
anwyays forget math focus on econ business and yeah thats all u can do
i wont lie ur genuinely not making a good future for urself
if ur weak at math and weak at sciences too then almost all high paying jobs are out of the table for u
economics is hard too for me all other subjects i pass
do u want my honest opinion
yes pls
u serious?
im not sugar coating anything, ur genuinely better off quiting education and finding retail work
coz ur weak at math and dont have any sciences and ur bad at commerce, means u wont get any high paying job unless u take medicine
im being honest unfortunately
yeh really good
yeah try taking bio, but u need chem in A levels unfortuqnately
bro idk what i should do
thats just my opinion, coz non stem careers arent very high paying unfortunately
any tips to get better at commerce
use igcseaid for econ and business
math i have nothing to tell u if ur bad at core math then just practice more
i really wanna get better at commerce and maths
i think you should repeat the year man
what the
the only way to get better at maths is to practice, practice, and then to practice some more. Watch a yt vid on the topic, and pause to solve the examples in it. Then just do past papers. If u get one wrong try it again but if u still do then use a solved past paper to see how its done ( see which step u got wrong, don't look at how it's solved entirely unless ur totally wrong). There are also YouTube videos that Solve past papers while explaining, which are really helpful. Depending on how "bad" you are at it, maybe you'd want to start w the basics. It'll take a lot of practice, but it's def possible. Good luck!
maths practice commerce read a shit ton nun else
ur user is me everyday
could u pls suggest some youtubers
morgz
for understanding I like Dr frost maths and cognito on yt. For solved past papers just write whichever paper u want on the yt search bar ( for example "4024/22/m/j/19") and people explaining it and solving it will show up

you didn't take any languages or sciences?
not even english?
as what others have already said, your best option is to study commerce or finance in uni which means you'll need al maths, econs and probably business unless you want to take on an a level subject from scratch
to take on al maths, you'll have to practice on extended maths AND additional maths
i got biology and english too
ict as well
is travel and toursim worthless?
@marble abyss
english as first lang or second lang?
travel and tourism has no value really, it's just a filler subject for that extra credit
Whats goooooood
lol very
i wont lie to u @lyric basalt u being bad at math and sciences already omits all the high paying jobs in the world so maybe learn some niche skill or smth idk
second
i am improving in maths
no offense dawg, its core math, u wont survive a level math
Biotechnology Business Manager
Healthcare Administration
Biomedical Sales Representative
Environmental Economist
Biomedical Research Analyst
Healthcare Consultant
Biomedical Entrepreneur
Health Economics Analyst
I did some research and these are some jobs with bio business and econ
issues is you need math or chem for most of these
how old are you can i ask?
if you are under 16 then maybe take another year for igcses to do chem and try extended math or something idk. maybe accounting or ict like someone else suggested
and really study hard
use past papers, like try and do 1 per day, solve, find weakness, revise, repeat
then in a levels do something like bio, maths, econ, business idk
@marble abyss do you agree or am i delusional?
literally all of it is delusional if he sucks at core math hes gonna fail allat
his best bet is business management but he sucks at commerce
realistically just do freelancing man ur wasting time on education
what if he were to take another year for igcses and study harder
maybe motivation and teachers is the issue for him?
if he can then whatever
the thing is that every opinion is valid and worth something
and your opinion is a great wake up call
the ball is in his court now
he should stop thinking of things as problems and more like opportunities now
if he can fix his study schedule and take an extra year and get the proper teachers then he can do it
@lyric basalt consider this one
17
i cant take another year
these are my mocks
yeah i have no idea how to help u man @lyric basalt
idk i studied so hard
Math econ business????
Can't they easily go into econ and business
dude they suck at core math they wont survive a level math
@lyric basalt during these summers try to practice maths everyday
Even if he gets a C in core what’s the point
Won't survive is an understatement
I'm not sure tbh
atleast if he were doing extended there would’ve been some hope
Even if he was failing that too
Do art
Do media
Do something something idk do anything atp
I hope ur rich bro
Um tru to play sports
Since u got an A in pe
tbh which country
cuz some uni's accept D's
u can easily get into psychology
in like dubai mdx or heriott
uae
yeh i will try my best i am doing well rn in small tests
depends on ur course but if bro chooses art/psych it wont bea lot
youll be fine lots of unis there who accept bad grades 👍
@lyric basalt my opinion ngl don’t do alevels they don’t suit u
Maybe try to go to American or a government school
If academics isn’t 4 u you can always get into something else just find what you feel like u like
I’m being serious when I say anything, anything with a passion works, even something like video games because esports exist for example
omg thats good
hmm
hey bro ngl youre ina pretty bad spot
my advice
its either education or no edcation
and for you , take the latter
go do something you like and hope it works out
cant i just go into finance if i get good grades in eco and bst
i have no idea
nah u need good math
Man sorry, I’ve seen econ offers with higher required math grades than econ grades
I think the minimum was like A* maths and then A in econ
I would pick another path unless you truly believe you can recover…
maths maths maths maths
my school said i should be fine with c in maths and a in eco
which uni do you want to go to?
doing a level maths will be a challenge if you got a C
thats what i am trying to figure out
are you sure you want to do a level maths though..
honestly no
i suck at maths
a level maths starts with a bit of recap but i think as pure is similar to addmaths igcse
you can ask your math teacher for advice on this tbh
Where are you from btw? I heard your voice in a study session and I can't pin point your accent
As someone who didn't do addmaths but did 0580. Would AS be very different? Like is add maths expected to do AS maths?
the two are very similar so
(as expected, add covers a bunch of as topics)
I know but I didn't do add maths
i think its still doable
So how difficult and different is as to 0580
Ofc ik that but I'm wondering if addmaths is a prerequisite to as. Like if I just start as from 0580 would they be expecting me to know things from add maths?
no
I'm cie
https://pastpapers.co/cie/A-Level/Mathematics-9709/2021-March/9709_m21_qp_12.pdf
why does this look easier than add maths
add maths cover a bit more trig and stuff like modulus functions/graphs, logs, kinematics compared to P1
but P1 has graph transformations and circles
but circles are coming to add maths soon
the rest is like 99% the same
homosapien
@crystal shore and @cold summit so everything in add maths and more is covered in maths and further maths at AS? So I won't be at a disadvantage content wise in terms of prerequisites?
Bruh. Idk why but I think you are from Africa
In AS u need to sit 2 papers for normal maths
Pure 1 + stats 1 or mechanics 1
Add maths basically covers the whole of pure 1
For stats or mech u would need to learn from scratch
Further maths is a completely different subject
are graph transformations not igcse
i think there are, with trig graphs but it's not really taught explicitly
ok that is an edexcel moment then
THATS SO NOT TRUE!!!!!
You can apply for a Business major, Travel agent, Work in a company, if youre good at finance take it in uni, You would be able to be a CFO once you work in a company and get experience.
Say i work in a company called BOW and i have a finance major, i can start small and work my way up and become the CFO of BOW
you need to study tbh. Do the following
For Math spam past papers
Bio drop it, you wont need it for anything
ICT practical igs are done so hope u did well , Business watch yt vids and do ppq , Econ you need a tutor imo its a really hard subject but if you get an A it really stands out in ur uni application, T&T is really easy just know the content and read the book and do ppq
are you fucking dumb??
Not true
DM me personally i can help you
omg i was scared i thought i had no hope
ik i need to drop bio but i have a exam tomorrow so any tips also i got maths @eager hemlock
he has a point wydm
Bros gud at pe at least
mate I’m sorry
business majors also require math
I get where you’re coming from and I don’t think he’s done for - I just think he needs to divert to something that doesn’t need as much maths
tf are u a joke or smth?
u think he can do CFO like that??? ur def not an a level student then youd know this is all fucking bullshit
without math hes essentially done for
coz he sucks at commerce and math and sciences so tf is he meant to do?
nothing, thats all i can tell him, just do freelance jobs and hope for the best
i think delusion is peak in these channels
bro got a G
I mean it depends on what grading system the school used + how hard bro is willing to work honestly 
bro evne hard work aint saving bro this time if ur failing CORE MATH
My school used the >90% = A* grading instead of igcse thresholds and almost everyone’s grades were so bad
bro have u opened a core math paper? they ask them to measure the length of a line
Bro what 😭😭😭😭😭
I mean that’s true honestly… idk about maths cuz I feel like maths rlly is just a logic thing
most content in maths don’t even need teaching
and then theres that idiot@eager hemlock
saying he can do this and that when he cant even do basic things
how is he gonna be a business major WITHOUT LOGIC???
But for my elit, I was scoring G in it as well until they switched out the shitty ass teacher and I was a few marks away from A* for mocks
So idk, maybe this would work for that guy? I rlly don’t know tho core maths is so simple 
if hes failing coremath then theres a severe issue
😭😭😭
I feel like he should retake IGCSE or something .. I mean there’s a lot of courses maybe he can take up humanities lmao
Humanities don’t require maths, just history geography and literature I guess
my brother in christ, hes failing economics and business
those are the fundamental humanities that still get u money
Wb history and geography
''so here we have the mummy, smth i wanna be because i failed core math''
VRO 😭😭😭
bro im not even bantering rn but if ur genuinely this bad at subjects whats driving u to continue
Yeah I feel like he prolly can’t do a business major but maybe he could start his own business ?
WITH WHAT MONEY AND WHAT LOGIC
U NEED LOGIC TO HANDLE A REAL LIFE BUSINESS IN THE REAL WORLD
Or get into travel and tourism that shit rlly needs no math and it’s because my neighbour scored <10% on all her maths throughout secondary school 
meh thats viable ig
@lyric basalt if u enjoy having a future pls just do travel and tourism or do freelance jobs
otherwise yeah gl in life man been not so nice
Switching to a different curriculum is the best possible option if your failing
parents
oof so i am just done for
i might kms
try ur luck with travel and tourism
nothings going good in life
take a gap year to get good at math if u want ¯_(ツ)_/¯
money is the problem
i got other issues i wasnt able to continue school for a year just cuz of financial crisis
nah thats terrible, sorry for u man
i did go to a tnt college and they said they dont even check igcses
all i need is to complete a levels
and there were many high paying jobs
fr tho just start grinding now
if u do then atleast ull have some chance
of being able to go to uni lol
oh yeah and retake the igces
Shouldn’t the government support you financially
they dont care
sorry to here that
What country?
Try looking at unis that don't care about gcses too much + try a gap year if possible it doesn't really cost anything u just study at home and then give the exams. But if not possible u just have to lock in and work hard to improve, (which again, is definitely possible). Or try travel n tourism like the others suggested. Good luck man, hope everything works out for u
uae
Are you a local or?
nothing works out for me
If your family is undergoing a crisis government should support idk why they are not
I have a friend that’s also undergoing a crisis his accommodation and school fees are paid off by the government
i am going to my home country after igcse i might miss another year
Where are you originally from?
You don’t have to answer
pakistan
You should get support
uae only cares for local ppl and pakistan dont give a shit about anyone
ig i am done
ty for helping me
I know it seems like that, and tbh I can see where ur coming from. But things will work out. Gcses are not the end of the world!
can't really help u other than w resources (which u can always ask for) but gl man

Try appealing to the government for help
damn brother i js read th whole convo wish u best of luck
he can take core maths
Not to intrude but could your lack of educational progress be because of problems at home? Financial dilemmas? Stress? Etc
Since when there is socialism?
He got a G in core maths
Not lament the guy
But getting a G in core maths shows he’s got a serious issue regarding his understanding of maths heck basic maths
Just like someone mentioned core maths have very very simple questions
Long time ago my friend
But mostly capitalism.
Sociology. What even is that lol
Bro I have a career for you
become a pilot
Actually like too many grades ain imp for that PLUS it's relatively less studies compared to other like medici e law or engineering
Like 4 years of pilot school after A levels
not really the thing is only my dad is providing for the family
and education is very important
no need of maths?
that requires phy and maths
maths and physics
is there a stressfull atmosphere at home
super stressful
btw i did my igcse today went really well
apart from the crazy rain
ngl just start learning a skill
like welding or sum shit thats probably ur best bet and it pays decent
you mean as or just igces ?
that's great!!
igcses
you said your 17? are they retakes ?
wdym
no
i lost a year because of financial crisis
i think i might lose another year after igcses
That’s great brother
ty
Gave +1 Rep to waffles4877 (1)
Yeah try learning a skill
To survive in this capitalist system
idk how to use those skills
like no one hires me i learned copywriting
Tbh all that online stuff won’t do it
i am super good at sports but no opportunities
Try finding opportunities
i did but they only support local ppl
cuz my dad works in uae
Oh I see
i am going to pakistan after igces
Do you mind me asking what he works as?
like i said try learning a skill
I’m sure foreigners get certain stuff as well?
maybe picking up cooking as a hobby
Like gov insurance?
like waffles said
Yeah prolly can start a restaurant etc
yeah they do, my brother works there but its dependent
not even thats hard of the start, he can maybe get a scholarship to culinary school or sum
So if he’s falling on hard times is there help available?
nope
Yeah I agree culinary school
if your a foreigners not much
Does it interest you?
Yeah I can understand
it makes sense tho, dubai is 90% foreigners they wont give out free stuff
Damn
well uae in general is 90% expats
Does culinary school interest you?
true but atleast some help
maybe welding
tbh no
if you dont mind where do u live in uae
Brother can I ask you
ajman? sharjah?
dubai
Why are your maths score like that
It’s really hard to navigate around with that grade
okay this is personal but why the hell are you living in dubai if you're in a finnincial crises
i study so much still dont pass
Was thinking the same
ajman is like 3x cheaper
I’m not trying to bash you or anything but getting a G in core maths
so that we dont have to pay for trasnsport the house is close to school
Shows you have a problem even with the basics
you can just change schools...
i got siblings too
ye i struggle so much at school
your siblings can change too with you no?
im also sure ajman schols are way cheaper
i agree
they cant there is a personal issue
you said you studied very hard and i dont see how that could happen
like approximately how long did u spend studying for that math exam
around 6 hours a day
of past papers and just understanding
i dont understand too
some people struggle more in some things..?
if i spent a lot of time every day doing sports i'd still fail igcse pe
Wdym
Nah man you’re not understanding man
Doing past papers won’t do nothing
If you understand the basics
stick to social sciences id say
and dont even think abt doing a level maths bc im someone who got an A in my igcses in maths and I’m struggling a lot in a levels
ik people who got Bs in math igcse fail
you can take sociology and business for as level
they wont be able to handle a level maths
nah
u didn’t focus at school to learn the concepts
that’s most likely y
maybe british system is not for you
you could try american or your local system
but if im being honest if your math is weak you dont have a fair chance doing anything else
american is usually easier so i think that’s the best for him
still, his math needs to be strong
i think the problems at home r why he can’t focus at school maybe
cuz there’s no way u study 6 hours for a core paper and still get a G
impossible
american is definetly much harder than core maths...
if thats the case
op i would i just use that as motivation
and grind the fuck out
not as easy at it sounds
those problems at home r mentally draining
my parents are
they say i need to be getting money instead of studying
Failing core maths is harder than getting A for norm maths
GCSE PE is there just for an extra credit
You can't get money without education
At least pass high school
Like you got no science,maths,econs. You need to lock in, I dont know how this is possible.
It is what it is man, praying for you bro
you need to pass high school to even work retail man
i feel so bad for this guy
damn
@lyric basalt how is it going now
Bad very bad
Nothing got better
Applied for 20 jobs but no replies
I'm truly sorry for what's happening to you rn
All good sry for even making u worry
No man are you going to go to school or that's it?
dude please
if you are going to school please let us know me and vboo are willing to help you get better results
Nope just staying at home
im sorry that it had go this way
i think thats your best chance
good luck man
It sounds like you're protecting
he's definitely exaggeratinf
But if I'm being honest.. if u can't core maths I don't think most universities will even look at your application 😭
youre right but the sob was unnecessary......
@lyric basalt im gonna tell you what honestly feel, you look like you lost all your motivation to try and get good grades and go to uni, dont sit in your house just waiting for your parents to tell you what to do, go apply for a retail job, there are so many places that you could work at without a bachelors degree
thats assuming you have a diploma hopefully
sorry I just attach sob onto everything
but yes absolutely, you still have so many other choices that are open
Also please dont complain about the low income you are going to receive from these jobs, these are the consequences you need to face for not taking school seriously
Grades = money now
99% of the time
I don't get this corporate mindset, grades are not everything. People making the most money are business men
the other 1% is if u start a business
It just seems like people are being condescending, projecting their fear of failure on others here
grades might not be everything but grades go a long ass way
dude if this was a person who was still in school and is just scared that he was gonna fail his exams im pretty sure all of us would do our best to help him
Grades help but there's also people with whole phds jobless
but hes done with education
cs :3
I'm just commenting on the fact that people like viper are sneaking in insults with advice
Really messed up
i agree with that
grades rlly aren't everything though
what's the point of straight a*s if you burn out to the point you cannot get yourself out of bed in uni?
but yea everyone will have their own journey
Random question, do you play volleyball?
@lyric basalt I don’t get why u can’t just repeat the year and lock in this time
You're that from the r/volleyball server
i think his parents are done with spending money on school for him, im sorry if this seems insulting but this just seems like the most valid thing to do, i wouldnt be surprised if even my parents did that if i go bad grades over and over again
I mean this is his first time doing igs right
He hasn’t repeated before
a lot of ppl mess up the first time they do igs and they just repeat the year
Yes. So you do CIE?
Yes
Are you currently doing A levels?
Yes
Phy bio maths
cool, what career are you going for?
Kinesiology / biomedical engineering
Those actually go really well together
Nice choices
Tyy
what does someone do in kinesiology btw?
Sorta like sports science
Bioemchanics
So you could start a sports equipment company?
backed by science
@compact horizon
The paths I can go into are physiotherapy, sport medicine, sport analysis and for biomedical engineering its way more
My main goal is to become a high level coach
but acca (accountancy) is a great option
for volleyball or sports in general?
