What does everyone think of these A-Levels

[JACKTARD]

Depends what you wanna do in uni really. And ICT is honestly just a waste subject, atleast it is in my school. From what i know unis dont really look at it as much and as far as the actual lesson goes its just making powerpoints and incredibly boringness.

but then theres someone who knows more like above perhaps :p ^

Don't get me wrong I don't know much about it, personally I didn't take it but apparently it's becoming more recognised because of the way we rely on computers and how someone may want to employ someone who has knowledge of computers over someone who doesn't

Graphics is heavily biased on drawing afaik.

I did it at GCSE and it was crap.

[Conservative,]

For what you just said you want to do - I'd take:

Computing
Maths
Graphics
Business studies

Maths is a good all-round subject, or maybe physics/chemistry.

I took graphics and we hardly do any drawing

Graphics @ my college consist of some drawing + ICT isnt all powerpoints we do databases, some web designing, writing small programs, building computers and all basic office skills, Uni's might not like it but im getting an apprenticeship in management so its nice to have alongside my business A level.

I had no idea what I wanted to do after college, I just took a broad range of subjects which I thought I would enjoy.

I took graphics, geography, media and business and that got me onto my environmental science degree.

If you are looking to do graphics at university then may I suggest using the course search tool at Ucas.com and picking a few universities to see what their entry requirement is.

This will help you select appropriate A-levels in order to get into that degree.

ICT is regarded higher than most people first think, but even so, there are other better ones like maths and the sciences.

But yeah as said above photography probably won't be very highly regarded. Then again, that's only if you're going to university.


Just make sure you know what you want to do after sixth form and make sure you're making the right choices!

I hope you're joking? It's definitely not regarded higher by any, with a few top uni's not even counting it at all.

I would take a science, just for a back-up. It looks good to have one too.

All your topics look very ict based. Ict is a good course but try something a little more of the computer. It will give you breath and possibly be alot more fun
