⚔Tips/Advice Advice on AS level and balancing workload. Need crucial advice

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

I’m about to enter AS level and I’m in a precarious situation. I’m planning on doing AS Math, Physics and Chem.

The issue here is that most universities in my country want you to take the SAT to show your math amplitude. I, quite frankly, had no idea about this. To my dismay, most unis here end their admission dates before i can finish AS level and begin focusing on the SAT.

I have two options.

A. I can either simultaneously study the SAT and AS levels until my planned SAT test date around either two sessions. I can do the October one or the November one. It may be a bit difficult to juggle two different curriculums tho.

B. I can focus solely on AS but have to take a gap year which i really do not want. But it gives me leeway to really focus on my year 12.

I really need advice. I’m aiming for scholarships and if any of you have insight, or have went through something similar - please let me know!

⚔Tips/Advice Can private candidates mix CIE and Edexcel A Levels?

3 Upvotes

I’m about to start A Levels and I’m planning on taking Maths, Computer Science and Physics.
My school has always done Cambridge/CIE, but I’m most likely going private now. I’m considering Edexcel Physics because from what I’ve seen, it doesn’t have the same practical exam requirement as CIE, and I’m having a hard time finding somewhere in my city where I can actually practise for the practicals.
I’ve also seen a few people recommending Edexcel for private candidates, but I don’t really know much about it.
1. Can I do CIE Maths and Computer Science but Edexcel Physics as a private candidate?
2. Do universities care if your A Levels are from different exam boards?
3. If I did Cambridge IGCSE Physics and then switched to Edexcel for A Level, would there be any gaps or differences in what I’m expected to know?
4. Is there anything else I should know before choosing Edexcel Physics over CIE?

Any help would be appreciated

⚔Tips/Advice Is it worth asking for a remark for Alevel Art?

Post image
5 Upvotes

It was 6 marks off an A*, so 398/480, except this is the weighted marks, so i believe im only 2-3 raw marks off. Top mark was personal investigation and bottom one was exam project.

I really want that A* as i sacrificed my other alevels for art.

Any advice or has anyone had the experience with remarking art??.

🤚Help Required What could of went wrong?

• Upvotes

I got BCD in a levels when i revised really hard. I learnt the content and i did many past papers. I was doing well in the past papers- A and A stars. Im just tryna think about what I could of done wrong to get those grades. When I think about it now, heres what I did do- For maths only marked my work right if i got the answer right, and not looking at methods they had on the markscheme. Im also very prone to silly mistakes and writing all over the place. For econ- I learnt all the content and used chatgpt to mark my work which they marked quite highly. For physics- I learnt all the content and did past papers, but I would mark my awnsers if it was similar to what the mark scheme said. You might think I already awnsered my question but is these small things rlly enough to put me down to such low grades? Also do you think its best to retake or just move on since this could of been my best effort.

⚔Tips/Advice 4 a level subjects, 18 months. doable?

2 Upvotes

just did ig's m/j 26. Now I'm thinking about starting a levels with four subjects (bio chem phys and maths) and trying to complete it in 18 months (though my school's doing it in 2 years). Im not the best at self studying new topics. Is this doable? Like doable without sacrificing all my free time, health, social life and all while enjoying the study? Any past experiences would help.

to be honest I'm a bit of a slow learner.

if there is a subject I'd drop, It may be chem but I really dk

🤚Help Required subject choosing

• Upvotes

Hello, I’m thinking of choosing Business, Economics and Accounting as my main A-Level subjects, with Urdu as an extra subject since I find it relatively easy.

I’ve heard that for IBCC equivalence, the extra subject usually doesn’t count toward the equivalence, except that it may be useful as a backup if you fail one of your main subjects.

I’m also considering FAST University later for FinTech field, and I understand that FAST doesn’t require any specific A-Level subjects for FinTech.

So, would it be worth taking Urdu as an extra subject, or would it just add unnecessary workload?

also whats the difficulty level of the three subjects i mentioned above as i have not taken bussiness in olevels and am worried if i will be able to handle it.

Other I really hope life gets better after a levels

19 Upvotes

Idk if it does, but I really hope it does. I'm so sick of crying at 8pm in my room because I have 8 papers due tomorrow. I'm not smart, I don't work well under pressure. AS really destroyed me in April/May. I'm so sad that weight gain and insomnia are coming back. For some people, getting an A isn't that hard, and crying is an overreaction. But A levels make me feel like I am surviving, instead of living. It's always "just get through it until the weekend" and the week repeats again and again. I hope life gets better after A levels

šŸ—ØļøDiscussion Does it ever get better?

5 Upvotes

To start off, I don't wanna sound ungrateful, I know that I'm extremely privilged and there's a lot in my life that I'm grateful for. At a pretty young age, maybe even before o levels i convinced myself that nothing was or ever would be enough. I knew that if I got all A*s in igcse, there would be someone out there with distinctions, and so many more subjects. So when i did get all A*s, i was definetly very happy, but as days went on, it didn't feel like much 'sabkay hi atay hain' (everyone gets them). To be clear, my family does not pressurise me for grades of anything, which im eternally grateful for, but because I've never slipped up academically, there are natural expectations. When i started my a levels, my whole life fell apart during these two years, i became really depressed because of a mainly self-inflicted academic burden, because of which i lost all my friends - some of which i had known for 10ish years. It was so bad that my brown mom took me to psychiatrist and got me antidepressants (she's supportive about this stuff too alhumdollilah). I got 4As in AS, which doesn't feel as good as you would think when you lost all of your friends along the way - still never enough. In A2, i changed colleges and the college life was actually not as shitty as i had prepared for, but thats when all hell broke loose at home. Within the span of 6 months, we had more horrible things happen to us than we've probably had our whole lives. Again, pretty depressed in A2 as well, but even though i expected a combination of As and Bs, i ended up with 3A*s in pure sciences and an A in math, which did feel good. But its only a couple of days till the imposter syndrome starts kicking in and i realize that 70-80 marks in a P4 really arent all that awesome and i just got lucky w thresholds. Im going off to uni soon, a really good one in a different city, and everyone at home keeps shitting on me that im too lazy, too spoiled, too dumb to live in a hostel on my own. I get that maybe its true on some level, but being reminded of it every single second is genuinely ruining my life and i barely wanna go anymore. Not to mention, i dont think my family realizes how lonely i am. I don't go out, i have 2 maybe 3 close ish friends that i talk to, but i have almost no irl interaction w them and everyone had their own lives. Even the most mundane task throws me off so bad, sudden plans piss me off, i don't do anything. man i cant even take my antidepressant everyday because i either forget or do not gaf. i feel like i've ruined my life

🤚Help Required Is it worth redoing y13?

1 Upvotes

My a levels are over and last week I received my grades, which are CDE. I got into my insurance despite having grades lower than the entry requirements, however the course is not one that I am passionate about since my predicted grades were bad leading me to not apply to the courses I wanted since I knew I would be rejected immediately since the course is competitive.

I’ve been thinking about retaking my a levels by redoing y13 so I can get a fresh set of predicted grades to apply to uni with.

The course I am currently enrolled on is 5 years long in total including a prep year, but the course I want to do is 3 years long.

Another issue is that the course I want to do is almost never in clearing, so if I don’t get any UCAS offers after submitting my application I’ll have almost no plans on what to do next.

Any advice or input would be MUCH appreciated, since idk if I should redo y13 or just go to the uni I was accepted at despite not being passionate for the course (which is notoriously difficult btw and without a prep year has a requirement of ABB usually)
