What A Levels have you chose/done?

[Kardan]

Haha oh right that's an interesting perspective! All I've been hearing from sixth form friends is "YOU WILL DIE NEXT YEAR" (not literally) and how much more difficult a level is than GCSE. I didn't even feel happy about my GCSE results because I knew that if I had said anything all of them would have been like "They're pointless, they have nothing on a level, GCSE's are so easy". So yeah, haha.

Also I may be sounding incredibly stupid here, but I'm looking at a course at uni and it says: "General studies is excluded" underneath like the course a-level requirement. Any idea what it means haha? Thanks!

It means you need proper A-Levels, so the A-Level 'General Studies' isn't included in your results. General Studies is seen as the 'easy' A-Level and it isn't much use, so many Universities don't include it.

Our sixth form didn't do General Studies, but did Citizenship, which I assume might have had the same treatment, although I didn't do the Citizenship A-Level even though it was compulsory.

Oh really? So for like a science course at uni, providing you've done the required a-level(s) you could choose English as your 3rd option, or something?

[Kardan]

Yes.

For Universities, you'll need to meet the minimum number of UCAS points, for me it was 340 - you'll need to meet the minimum number of A-Levels, for me it was 3, and then you'll need to make the minimum grades, for me it was Maths at A, and Further Maths at B.

So, my third A-Level could be anything provided it was an A Grade to make the number of UCAS points. In the end it was my Physics A, so my Chemistry B accounted for nothing really.

So you could have Physics, Chemistry and Geography, but you couldn't have Physics, Chemistry and General Studies

[kuzkasate]

I've picked English Language, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, will probably drop either English or Physics after a year, depending on how I find them - gonna need a lot of work

[Andeeh]

Took Media, Film & History for A2 and got B, C and D and 2 a/s for IT and Psychology both got a D

[Roxy]

I'm taking english literature, geography, maths (statistics) and economics.

[Shar]

Altogether I have 3 A2s and 4 AS'

[Mr-Trainor]

I took Maths, Economics, ICT and Politics for AS. I'm now going in to second year doing Maths, Economics and ICT (dropped Politics).

[Rixion]

How did you find Maths ?

[CrazyLemurs]

I'm nowhere near there yet, but I'm trying to have a plan
Our school lets you do either 4 at AS and A2, or 3 at A2 and a fourth at just AS
What do AS and A2 stand for, by the way?
I think I'll take Maths, Further Maths and Economics for the full A2 and Business for just AS
Or Maths, Further and Business for A2 and Computing for just AS

Or have I got the entire system wrong LMAO?
