I'm in my 2nd year of A Levels, with an offer from Cambridge thumbsup

rickyduck
Do choose a language, choose french

bloodboys2blueb
Ok just now I finished filling in my sheet with my options an im takeing:
p.e, history, r.s, geog and short course welsh

dave123
Geog's easy with a bit of common sense, as is RS.

History might involve a bit of work, and PE is kinda easy so long as you know a bit of biology and can play to a half-decent standard big grin

Scarecrow756
I chose History, Drama, French and Food Technology.

i dont know what you get to choose from but i have a good idea what i wanna take. which includes....art, drama, rmt, re, history, and no language!

bloodboys2blueb
i was tied between german or r.s
but i like r.s beause....well i don't like religoun *too* much but i like mahatma gandhi and martin luther king

TheOnes2
I chose: French, Electronics, Business Studies and Drama

T.M
I did Geog, Electronics and Design Tech.

only GCSE I failed was D.T because I did no work for it, Me and my mates just talked all though the 2 years.

bloodboys2blueb
ha ha. but there is the one column that i did not like at all so i decided to do p.e because im preety good at it

T.M
If P.E was more football based I would have taken it but it was mostly Gymnastics based when I was picking mine.

melinda_warren
that sucks....

bloodboys2blueb
im preety good at gymnastics but the amount of times you can hit your crown jewals jumping over something is amazing

T.M

That was my thought yes

It's a load of stuff GCSE is mostly circuits. Ohms Law and stuff that you will do in Physics. my GCSE coursework was building a circuit. thats good fun yes

As Level.. you do basically the same theory through the year just more advanced. and the coursework for me was programming. A level was even more advanced and a few extra bits thrown in. and the coursework was again building a circuit.

It's really good I loved Electronics. Got a B for GCSE, and an A for A level.

unless you get enough UCAS points from as level (year 12) which is doubtful, yes you do have to do year 13.

dave123
Originally posted by bloodboys2blueb

But your best chances of getting in will be to go after you've done year 13 yes

bloodboys2blueb
WHAT QUALIFICATIONS?AND WHAT ARE UCAS(stupid caps lock)

T.M
UCAS points are awarded for getting grades in A level's the higher the grade the higher the UCAS points. All university's that I know of will ask for a certain amount of UCAS points to get onto the course.

(you get some UCAS points for As level results but not much.)

dave123
1 AS = 1/2 A2

So a B st A2 = 100 UCAS points
B at AS = 50 UCAS points

T.M

Yeah I thought AS was half.

bloodboys2blueb
so will different courses at uni have need different UCAS points to get into. also am i allowed to take a different all together at uni that i do not take at comp

T.M
yeah some course's like Law, or English (when I was looking) for example will ask for more UCAS point.

bloodboys2blueb
what about if i wanted to take a different course completely that i di not do in comp but want to to do in uni

shaber
I decided this eight years ago.

T.M

Aa long as you have enough points to get into the uni course you want to do it doesn't matter what A levels you do.

bloodboys2blueb
oh right thnx. did you do uni

shaber
Actually it depends entirely on the course in question.

bloodboys2blueb
Explain?

T.M
Originally posted by bloodboys2blueb

For a while.. I didn't like it.. for reason's I wont go into...

shaber
Some university departments demand that an applicant has done specific subjects at GCSE and A Level. Others don't. With art subjects it depends on how many applicants there are to each place. Otherwise it depends on what sort of grounding is needed to start the course.

bloodboys2blueb
have you done uni. my deadlines gone
