A Levels

[United-Clowgon]

I'm thinking of going to a A-Level College but i don't think i can manage all the coursework and the exams.

Which one out AS and A Levels should i go for?

I have the choice of doing

A-level LAW
A-level Media
A-level Communications and Culture
A-level Business

and Vice Versa in AS' Levels

[kk.]

vice versa means the reverse of things, i think you meant the same for AS. :P

law wont have too much, media will, communications not sure on and business i did 2 pieces in both years, but you dont spend too long doing it.

you also tend to drop one in the final year.

in other words, DO IT :)

They are really different A levels, they would probably be possible at a 6th form but not sure about college. Depends what you like most.

Ye that's why i meant. :eusa_danc

Hmm i think if i'm going to do A-Levels i might change business to something else as i can see myself struggling at it. Too much work load, i seriously won't be able to cope. :P

I would reccommend doing A levels.

Remember, a lot of coursework has been cut down in new syllabuses :D

[Alkaz]

Ah good! I think they all seem like a good mix.
I like 60% cousework based courses as I seem to flunk the exams!

[United-Clowgon]

I guess i will take the advice from the experts. Better be right.. :@ I'll hunt you all down, don't matter how long it will take, i will find you all and... :)

youve got to think also, in a few years time, youll have to compete with people who will have a levels as standard, considering they are going to be making further education compulsory

[luce]

i'm going to a sixth form and i would recommend a levels. Those aren't that hard a levels and coursework has been cut down dramatically so yeah i think you'll be fine.. why don't you just do 3AS then 2 A and another AS or something like that?!

Only one I've had experience of is Business and it wasn't that hard really. Would have been easier if I had any sort of a memory lol. At a guess I would say Law would be the hardest on that list.

Because most decent unis ask for three complete A levels?

Well I'm going to join the Police Force and I'm guessing I'll be in the job until i retire.

But thing is the 6th form College I'm going to only do A Levels. :(

Business involves a lot of Maths right? :( I'm really bad at everything in Maths.

anything could happen though, if for some reason you were outta work (dont get shot pls) and you had to find a new job when youre 30, then it would be harder

[United-Clowgon]

If that were the case, i guess i will have to resort to going on benefits then! :P

Na, as you say anything can happen. That's why I'm doing these A Levels as if i don't get into the police, i know I've got other back ups that i can use to get into other Jobs.

A Levels are pretty pointless if you're not going to uni, a btec or or some other vocational qualification would be better if it's purely to increase job prospects.

Only very basic maths. Trust me, I'm the worst at maths

Don't have any experience with the others, but with Law you need to have the ability to memorise case law and legislation names/purposes. Without them you are basically screwed. If you think you can do that then go for it, it's a really interesting course and I fell totally in love with Law because of it.

if you go you need to be full focused, they can be very hard. make sure you work hard in the first year or second year will make you cry.
