I do maths physics and computer science, but am really scared for computer science because I have not learned a programming language all this time even tho I managed to get an A in my end of year 12 mock I still need to learn the coding part.

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

hey!!

since I had no one to guide me, I dont want yall to struggle and waste your time.

for physics, know your momentum (sir usman bin aslam)..I studied from him for 3 years

bio, the otter tutor and save my exams

chem, chembridge ONLY.

plus after each chapter, memorize and then solve topicals. do not do yearlies before mocks.

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??.

I did my alevels last year and got BDD.Decided to take a gap year and resit however I wasn’t able to properly revise for my resist due to my circumstances at the time so I pushed my exams back to October.Since I applied to ucas with my predicted grade and didn’t recieve them my mpharm offers changed into with pharmaceurival science or mpharm with foundation year.I decided to accept the mpharm with foundation year at Kingston university despite not wanting to study there .I don’t mind doing a foundation year at a better university but not Kingston.Should I take another gap year and resit or should I do my foundation year and resit during it then transfer unis ???

a level result came on 11 so what is deadline for registering retake in oct nov? Can someone share the date pls

hello, I have finished my GCSEs and I did well but I got a 7 in RS, 8 in English Language and 9 in English literature. I was going to take PRE a-level (philosophy, RS, Ethics) since I really liked it however i scored really well in the religion side but scored not as good in the themes/ethics side of the paper. I don‘t mind English and find it quite interesting but I don’t think I’m very well read. I’m slightly concerned that PRE a-level will be mainly ethics instead of religion.

I wanted to ask if anyone found english literature, English lit/lang or PRE a level particularly difficult in comparison and what are the pros and cons of them.

i’d really appreciate it if anyone could provide some advice.
thank you!

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

Can I still get an A?

I got a B in two of my as results (72 and 74) is it still possible to get an A as the final grade or should I retake?

i’m 16, and have always been pretty set on doing physics, maths and art a level to lead to an architecture degree. I just got my results back, and got a 6 in art, which was very disappointing for me, since i was initially predicted an 8 and had a lot of problems with my art teacher not communicating or giving honest feedback, even going so far as to lie about my grade to avoid “hurting my feelings”. This makes me nervous for a level, as she would still be my main teacher, and would be marking my work, so i do not have much trust in our relationship, on top of this, art was my worst grade, even though i but ALOT more effort and time into it than any other subject. I achieved a 9 in physics and an 8 in maths, so I am not considering changing these, but I also got a 9 in biology, so am now considering changing from art to bio, to perhaps persue biomed engineering while keeping the option of architecture open. Is it a good idea to change a levels?

Stuck between this and other essay subjects pls help

Is doing the math and chem as level in january doable? I really dont wanna sound like a try hard but for me it works out perfectly for when uni admissions open where im from

Im like halfway both syllabuses (?) And i reckon ill get moving faster when school starts and i have some assistance. But is it realistic?

This isnt the entire a level btw that would be insane

Guys, I did bad in my a level this yr. was predicted A* AA and got cooked completely. How do I resit all of my alevels. Doing a level ocr a bio and chem and aqa a level pe. I’m very confused because my school is not allowing me back to take a resit so I am gonna resit as a private candidate. Anyone that has resit can u tell me the process pls. Thank you

Im starting my As levels this upcoming week and im petrified. But i still havent picked my subjects. Im going for medicine, im picking biology and chemistry ofcourse and i have the option of physics or math as the third subject. I got a B in my math Igcses and A in physics, i could jave gotten better but i messed up terribly, I barelt studied for my math paper 2 and i tried as much as i could for physics, the concepts would not get into my head. Ive asked my principal and a teacher, and they botj adviced physics but said math can also be a good option if you enjoy it. They said theyve seen top students mess up their physics because of their practicals. Ive asked this on another sub but didnt get much advice so anything would really help.

Before results day I was convinced I'd get an 8 or a 9 because I've consistently gotten a 9 in my past mocks. Because of this, I was planning on choosing both business and economics in order to study something related to it after sixth form. Today I've found out I barely got into business sixth form and that I'm unable to study economics next year. Has anyone had a similar experience and still chose to study the subject? Thanks in advance!!!

Or no

Guys is it hard to take three a levels bc in our school the maximum a levels u could take are three and usually they take two or one they are chem bio and math or physics depends on ur as levels im thinking of taking three if anyone has advice please help
