22 A levels? How did he manage to do the coursework for all of them?

I'm guessing he did AS and A2 at the same time so that would mean two sets of coursework to do in some subjects as well as preparing for exams. How did he do that?

Surely he has cheated. Anyway, I lol at the B in chemistry. He can't be that smart! more like an average person who has been stuffed with knowledge and they cannot handle it! I'm at Oxford and got 7 A levels at grade A, which is better than having B's and C's.

If that is indeed true, then he still has more A levels than you and he only has one B and one C. Nothing wrong with those grades.

The 18-year-old, who says he has a 'thirst for knowledge', netted 22 As, one B and a C after studying for up to 10 hours-a-day.

That's how long I spend watching TV. Now I know why I didn't get any A grades..

WHAT THE **** maaaaan.

24?
Can't even cope with 4. :frown:

Zomg!

Over half of the subjects he took are the softer subjects - what about History, English, English Literature, Latin and other languages that are not native to his own. Only up to further Maths? A friend of mine at Cambridge managed to achieve up to four full A levels in Maths, including Pure, Statistics and Mechanics.
