anyone doing 5 A2s?

I am applying for medicine. Are you applying for maths ? (Maths is my 5th choice if I don't get this year)

UCL hbu ? i am guessing oxbridge XD

If you don't mind me asking, was your personal statement Medicine based or did you somehow manage to cover both Medicine and Maths?

Yup cambridge is the dream

With AFM you will be fine Brahh .. I am guessing you have worked through silkos booklets - what modules are you self teaching ?

How's the workload? Why are you doing it? How do you manage your time?

None of them are 'bad' it's just that they all require time .. and that's what I don't have a lot of. (Well I do but I procastinate too much)

For English language I got an A on results day... So I remarked ...and I got an A* (only just .. But it's still an A*) and no problem
Hbu ?

Forgive me for my ignorance, but why would you want to do more than 3 (4 at a stretch) A2s? You're not going to learn anything meaningful about the subject, since you'll have no time at all for independent study- which is basically the point of advanced levels, that you get the chance to learn more like an undergraduate and enquire more deeply into your subject- and the qualifications are going to be redundant soon anyway, given Gove's caprice. Top universities like Oxbridge, UCL, etc. don't even care that much how many GCSEs/A levels you did- they want to know how you think. Doing 5/6/7/32 A2s like most of TSR seems to do just looks like another way of condemning yourself to the pointlessness of our current system of checklist/hoop-jumping education. Maybe I'm just dumb, but it seems like a good way to shoot yourself in the foot.

I knew a girl at my old 6th form who did biology, chemistry, physics, maths, further maths and general studies (which was compulsory). She got AAAAAD (the D being in general studies).

Hah, hopefully I'll manage
Props.I got an A-after remark- in the exam and a B overall. I resat in year 11 got near full ums in the exam and an A overall as i kept my B controlled assesment from year 10 due to lazyness and thinking I'd manage full ums

A friend of mine did 24 A-levels.You heard it!24 A-levels!:0

I'm not talking about the grades, though, I'm saying that the grades are a pretty unimportant aspect of y12/13 education, in terms of actually learning about your subject- learning in depth and thinking about it, not just reciting what you're taught. I have no doubt that anyone can take loads of A2s- we all did it at GCSE- but all you'll get out of it is the experience of learning more stuff from memory, rather than exploring your subject. It just seems like a really soul-sapping experience.

I can't edit my initial post for some reason :/

I'm considering 5 for the exact reason you say not to. I personally want to do natural sciences of some variatipn at a top uni that means doing all sciences would aid me i need math to supplement the sciences and then i have further maths because i enjoy maths and want to learn more of it. Furhtermore, doing 5 A2s as a gwneral statement isn't very beneficial but 5 that could help on your course kinda looks better than an applicant with only 3 that can help on your course with the similar further reading/ums

Was one of your points a-levels are becoming redundant so why do 5 A-levels? With that mentality why do any? I don't understand what you were trying to accomplish with that?
No time? Plenty have managed before also the average oxbridge applicant has done 4 A2s from my understanding(i can't source this, just what I've heard from ask admission tutors threads) . Decent time nmanagement/dedication and passion for your choices and your sorted

general studies tho...where's she now?


I swear the record in 2 academic years is like 10-from a person i know at crgs? I heard their was someone in asia that had done more but cheated by doing things like biology on different exam boards with different names?

general studies tho...where's she now?

He didn't cheat or anything.Worked extremely hard.He followed the CIE board.Used to study 12 hours a day

12 hours a day where's he now?

She got 3A* for Maths, Biology and Chemistry. An A for Philosophy and a B for Psychology. Now, she took a gap year and does AS and A2 Further Maths and Physics because she wanted to do Maths at University.
