A-levels

Also, A level Maths is very easy relative to university level. Many grade A students in Maths get very low marks at degree level, I can think of several people who aced Maths A level (including a few I know that averaged near 90%) and got 3rds at degree level. If Maths A level was so exceptionally difficult, that shouldn't be the case. You may argue that a Maths degree is just so darn difficult, however, no conclusive evidence for that either. For instance, as compared with Law/Politics, there is more failure in degree level Maths, however a higher propotion of people get first class honours.

The reason Maths A level is so respected is simply because the Brits aren't too good at it (even though we're not that bad, i.e. high number of grade A's). Take your Maths A level to Japan, or parts of India...see what they'd think of it. Universally, it really isn't regarded as being particularly difficult.

Err excuse me bitch! That's my subject you're on about! Maths is so well respected in this country because British employers value the skills acquired and developed by doing Maths, i.e. problem-solving, analytical skills, logical reasoning and statistical ability among others. India value cheap labour and the Bollywood trade. Japan value David Beckham, enough said.
Course now you got me worried about when I begin to do Maths at uni. Doh why didn't I pick Economics?!?!

What a moron. If you're not able to do Maths in your sleep, you SHOULD be worried about studying it at univ. Infact, even if you are able to do it in your sleep, even then you have no reason to be too confident. Whoever said anything about what skills are/are not developed through studying Maths?

As for the British, what's the best selling paper across the UK? As for your comments on other nationalities, they`d be offensive if I took you seriously. No need to get too worked up just because they're such huge proportions of Japs/Indians who would find your A level, and your prospective degree to be far easier than you would.

Is that because Indian/Asian people are perhaps pushed harder in their home countries?

Look yeah, I work hard to do good in Maths and it is a passion of mine, I don't appreciate d*ckh**ds like you telling me it's so easy and just casting it off as such. What does British papers have to do with anything? And who gives a damn about what Japs and Indos have to say about anything? Listen bitch, I will be confident, because I believe in myself and I will do my best. So know your role... AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!

Yawn...I have to learn to resist getting into petty arguments with 14 year olds.

OH....I GET IT!!! So you let EVIL Juwel out when you want to, but keep silent and not defend me on other threads...ehh??

J/K

I am a mature student who is only doing two A-Levels (English Language and Government & Politics).

When I rang up Leeds Uni they asked me what A-Levels I was doing and even commended Politics as a good choice (I want to do Law at Uni). Many people have remarked that the red brick uni's would not look to take me had I been studying film/media studies.

Politics is such a vital area especially with the expansion of the EU and all the other stuff going on in the world today.

Many people have said that in hoping to take a degree of Law with Politics (LLB/POL) I am making a wise choice.

Politics a joke subject - I doubt it!

I was certainly not implyimh Politics was a joke subject, but some people view it as not being wholly respected by some universities.

secondly, the reason that more maths people get A Grades, is because the more advanced, intelligent people take the subject because it is demanding. i.e.) the less clever ones are weeded out.
*i think i know what i am talking about here*

Oxford, Cambridge and LSE all regard it highly, who cares about anyone else?
