May be A-Levels are not for you.

Why not do A Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma in 1 thing you enjoy? available at many colleges!

It can still get you to Uni.


I want to do BBA
I dont think you should be taking A levels at all if you cant handle maths at a level. Courses like accounting and business studies are already both soft subjects and they're only useful if you take it with maths a level.

somehow I am good at Accounting tbh, but I forget steps of Maths. But not the maths of Accounting


The first an interviewer will ask you in Accounting is if you have Maths A-Level. If you are struggling, just revise and practise every day using ExamSolutions. Everyone finds maths hard, you just need to practise.

That's the reason I am afraid of, I got 'D' in IGCSE and I am repeating it.

Do another subject that isn't maths but is still respected by univeristies:
Something out of:

[*]English Literature
[*]Physics
[*]Biology
[*]Chemistry
[*]Geography
[*]History
[*]Languages (for example Spanish or French)


These are subjects that universities are looking for!

This is a very good point. I know several people who got into university with a BTEC. Enjoyed it much more than A levels, too. A levels really aren't for everyone!


Yeah

When I see formulas of Maths, I feel afraid. I am really very bad at Maths, I can do anything but not the steps of Maths :'(

I guess. Do you want to do accounting in the future?
You can get into the top 4 firms with any 3 A-levels, if you choose to do an apprenticeship. :smile:
