Cambridge CS

[agile birch]

It isn't necessary by any means, I didn't take it and have intentions of doing computer science in the future

[fringe nacelle]

I’m aware, but am I better off doing something like biology which is what I have in mind or cs

[hidden sigil]

better off taking ig cs than taking ig bio

unless you want to keep options wide open

[fringe nacelle]

Thanks I’ll do cs😄🙏

Gave +1 Rep to @hidden sigil (15)

[fringe nacelle]

What about if I want to do mechanical engineering?

[fringe nacelle]

Bump

[hidden sigil]

for mechanical, you'd definitely want to take on maths, physics, chem

further maths if you can

i'd also take on design technology if you have the option

[hidden sigil]

some reason some uk unis prefer this over chem (no idea why)
but you do learn a lot about materials and tools and stuff

[agile birch]

You learn about the design process

[hidden sigil]

yeah but chem more important for mech than dt lol

[agile birch]

I agree, I was just saying that in DT you learn about something that is prevelant in engineering

[fringe nacelle]

I’m Alr doing this for igcse

I mean what igcse for mechanical engineering?

Cs or bio

Let me just list out my igcse subject

English
Literature
Math
Additional Math
Economics
Chemistry
Physics
CS or biology

For mechanical engineering am I better off with cs or bio

And apparently if I ever want to go into cs for uni all I need it math and additional math

So I think I should do bio to keep options open

[hidden sigil]

i agree

but for unis your igcse subjects dont matter as much

they're more concerned about a level subjects and you meeting grade requirements

[fringe nacelle]

True but I’m going to a us highschool and uni after igcses so

[hidden sigil]

oh so you're skipping a levels
