Choosing your A levels? Your questions answered here!

You say that, then you give advice straight after. I never claimed to know what theatre is like at A2, and that wasn't the OP's question anyway.

I said that drama and theatre studies A-levels are slowly becoming more respected, which they are.

Not advice which inferred that I had a specialist knowledge of theatre studiies, like you said "theatre studies will be ok at A2". I just told the OP to look up the syllabus

When I said "theatre studies will be okay at A2", I meant in the respectability, not the content. He asked would universities look down on A2 theatre, and I said it would be okay (which it is), since all his other subjects are strong and 'traditional'.

So how did it come about that the OP thought that you were a student who had studied A2 theatre studies when you have, in fact, only just finished GCSEs

Well that was his assumption, I never claimed to be an A2 student.

Must you be so pedantic about everything? This is the fourth time over the last few days.

You were talking as if you were an expert on the subject and you should have made yourself clearer. And you keep count?

I was not talking like I was an expert on theatre studies, I just know where its respectability lies and that Cambridge don't particularly like it. LSE now sometimes consider theatre studies as a traditional subject, and they are an 'elite' university like Cambridge.

I kept count because you're the only person who picks me up on trivial things that nobody else cares about or even find strange, when it is quite clear what my meaning is.

It only takes a second to read my profile and see that I'm 16, so not an A2 student, you can't get much clearer than that. (Yes I know some people take early A-levels, but from reading the context it is obvious I have not, I never talked about the content, specifiction or tips to the OP about theatre studies, and I never claimed to have taken the subject or know all about it).

The bottom line is that the OP thought you were an A2 theatre studies student, because you didn't make it clear that you had only finished GCSEs, so was your advice as though you had personal experience of the course.

If that's the silly way you want to read it then fine, but it was obvious that's not how I intended it to be taken and I assumed it wasn't taken like that since I am not, and never claimed to be an A2 student, so I do not see why I am to be faulted.

So why did the OP then say 'I wasn't aware that Duckzilla hadn't take A2 theatre studies'

Because he never asked me if I took theatre studies so there was no answer to give, and I never told him that I took theatre without him asking. It's not my fault if the OP makes an assumption about something that I never claimed to have taken.

So now you're insulting the OP?

No, I'm not insulting the OP, I am stating the truth, that he made an assumption that I took A2 threatre studies, when he never asked me if I did, and I never told him that I did, yet you blame me for apparently leading him on to believe I took the subject, which I did not do.

You seem to by carrying this on for the sake of it. We are filling this thread with all kinds of unrelated content, I would like to stop this now.

Then stop replying to me

This is now the last time I will reply to you about this, but if you stopped trying to undermine everything I ever say with extremely pedantic reasons, and trying to tell me that I shouldn't be advising people on here because I am not clear enough, then everything would be a lot better.

What are you on? History is one of the best humanities subjects you can do at A Level, and from what I've heard Philosophy is very good as well. While psychology and politics aren't seen as the same level (and in most exam boards, psychology's not a humanities subject anyway), they are certainly not on LSE's 'blacklist'. See:

This. Arts A levels = Arts degree, Science A levels = Science degree, to generalise madly. Several of my friends got taken for arts degrees with science subjects, but none got the other way around.
