Wow :O Very good on him. 21 A's, a B and a C.

[Kardan]

And my friends think I'm crazy for taking 6.

[mangle]

And they say exams are getting easier!

[PaulMacC]

Thats nnander on the forums, he is a born genius.

lmaoooooooooo.
i know he's clever but asif its him.

[Nemo]

woot, hes from pakistan, right on!

[Jord]

wow thats amazing

[Herman]

That's insane, I never knew it was possible. :P The minimum subjects you must take for 'A' levels here is 6.

[Bun]

didn't he do it in a year or something as well? :O i read somewhere that he started revising just 3 days before each exam :eusa_wall.

[LoveToStack]

The guy really annoys me. Not because of what he achieved, his personality just gets me. :S

[Blinger1]

Uhhh.. no idea what an A Level is, but sounds easy.

[Zak]

wat a nerd

[Frodo13.]

Uhhh.. no idea what an A Level is, but sounds easy.


A Levels are NOT easy, most people who take achieve 3/4 A Levels over 2 years. So achieving 23 A Levels in 1 year is quite amazing.

Just because he's pakistani? You racist!

Joking of course, wow he's smart he must study non-stop.

[Immenseman]

Aren't A levels the equivalent to a degree in America? Anyway, yeah to pass 23 in a year is amazing.

[ToxicPaddy]

Uhhh.. no idea what an A Level is, but sounds easy.

I think they are similar to GCE's (General certificate of education), could be wrong though.

[Blinger1]

yeah, that makes even less sense.

[scottish]

nice im on the news.

jks i would of got 23 A's instead of a B and C

[FlyingJesus]

What the hell he has that many A levels and he's doing computer science which all the wannabe tech boys do and get into fail jobs after :S he should really make a big thing of his college life and get money from talk shows and stuff then build his own career out of that money. He did business studies, he should know to think like commercially :P

[PaintYourTarget]

The guy really annoys me. Not because of what he achieved, his personality just gets me. :S
Yeah, same.

[CHA!NGANG]

WOW! That's amazing to be honest. I'm finding it hard with 4 :P

[stickwitu]

wow some people need a life.

[cocaine]

wow some people need a life.

you'll find that he probably will have a better life than you can even imagine?

[Excellent2]

Now thats a CV I'd like to have.

You're thinking 'diploma', what American students get after their senior year in High School.

But anyway, whilst 23 A-Levels is an achievement... It's just a little, I don't know, boring. His social life can't have been very good - I don't know why he wouldn't just do a normal course (maybe do 5/6 instead of 3/4), then make a start on university.

[stickwitu]

you'll find that he probably will have a better life than you can even imagine?

yes because qualifications and careers are everything aren't they? :rolleyes:

[Excellent2]

yes because qualifications and careers are everything aren't they? :rolleyes:Well yeah seeing as if you don't have qualifications you won't get a decent job. If you don't have a decent job you don't have a decent life. How old are you? 6?

[ReviewDude]

Well yeah seeing as if you don't have qualifications you won't get a decent job. If you don't have a decent job you don't have a decent life. How old are you? 6?

I think too many qualifications could hold him back, though. I mean, as an employer, you look for well-rounded people, not just very academically accomplished ones.

[CHA!NGANG]

wow some people need a life.

I wouldn't say that at all. If I had the choice to do 23 A Levels and knew I could do it, I would do them. One year of your life doing this is going to save you a lot of hassle in the future, and can potentially set you up for life. 1 Year is worth sacrificing for the rest of your life ;)

[flatface]

Thats amazing lol

[Janet Snakehole]

the brains of britain, clearly

[stickwitu]

Well yeah seeing as if you don't have qualifications you won't get a decent job. If you don't have a decent job you don't have a decent life. How old are you? 6?

you don't need an amazing job to have a good life.
not everything resolves around money.
i think you'll find there are lots of people with **** jobs who still have happy lives..

[N-Dubz]

money cnt buy u luv!!!

n if u dont have luv u dnt have happiness!!!!! no1 wants 2 b lonely..

you can have a decent life without a decent job.

but good on him but he must have been like LIVING in his house... srsly

[cocaine]

yes because qualifications and careers are everything aren't they? :rolleyes:

yes...... actually lol

[stickwitu]

i feel sorry for you if you think that

[N-Dubz]

if your job becomes your life, then you'll end up a pretty sad lonely person.

how is that happiness??

alex you right, 23 a lvls isn't going to buy him happiness in life, it just makes him clever 2bh.

[cocaine]

i feel sorry for you if you think that

at his age qualifications are vital

however when he gets into a secure job then he will have time for other things.

and you wont get a secure job without decent qualifications if you dont put time, effort and hard work into them will you?

[Bun]

it is almost pretty pointless, fair enough do a couple more to make you stand out from the rest and obviously make sure you do the ones which comprehend with the career path you wish to go down, but why go that far?

[stickwitu]

qualifications aren't vital.
you can drop out after GCSE's, get a job and then work your way up. in fact you don't even need to work your way up to enjoy your life. if you think your career is everything in your life then you need help.

no one doing a levels dedicates themselves to the point of this - where they clearly have no social life whatsoever - and chances are that if you're socially ******ed then you're not going to be happy unless you have psychological problems.

[--ss--]

How the hell did he fit all those subject in into his timetable :s

[5,5]

good for him, should have a bright future ahead.

[luce]

Meh he may have the brains but i doubt he has much else. Still an achievement though.

[Barmi]

Crazy guy. That is an achievement, for sure. I'm sure many others would have used their free time to, well, relax... but each to their own! Congratulations to him.

As to whoever said these 23 A-levels will set him up well for life... he even said himself that he only needed 3 As. The extra ones have no holding on increasing his success in life – that now will be determined by how well he does at university and how well he can build up his CV with experience.
