what tyype of stuff do you do in eletronics?(problem with this thread you must get every spelling correct)

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 ✅

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.

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

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

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.)

1 AS = 1/2 A2

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