/sci/ - Science & Math

Youre 15/16 years old

It doesn't matter, A-levels are just a speed bump on the way to your phd. I did English lang and lit, History, Maths and Biology and ended up with a degree in Chemistry.

Someone ban this underage cunt.

Also, if your not doing real science, why are you asking /sci/?

Don't listen to this guy.. the subjects you chose are very important as you won't get into a good uni on the course you want, unless you are studying the subjects they want you to be doing.

Dunno about critical thinking, general studies or applied science but those will give you lots of options. Psychology, from what I've heard from friends, is actually quite boring

I chose Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Product Design and im going to Birmingham to study Physics in september

>>3107891

>birmingham

oh boy you must have done shit.

Hahahaha you will have to pay £9000 per year for uni.
No, those are shit A-levels.
I do Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Computing.
Choose proper subjects, 5 if you can be bothered with the work.

Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry is a solid combo and will get you pretty much anywhere.

Yo OP are you mentally retarded?

Real men take Maths, Further Maths, Physics then any 2 from Chemistry, Economics, History, Biology, Computing or a Modern language

If you're looking into a degree in science, take math, it's a prerequisite for almost everything science related so you don't have to waste a year on foundation studies.

Not a britfag, but I took my A-Levels in Law, Economics and Sociology. I screwed up by not taking math. So take math.

>>3107846
Except you need a chemistry a-level to do chemistry at uni

>>3107902

4th in country for Physics. I rejected an offer from warwick and chose not to apply to Imperial college because its just chinese boys who go there. Believe it or not I want to enjoy the next 3 years of my life

Im getting A*A*A. Derp

>>3107908
>>3107910
>>3107911
This. Holy fuck OP, are you retarded?

>>3107911
The vast majority of places accept physics instead of maths and make you do 1 module

>>3107914

>>Not Oxbridge
>>Laughinggirls.jpeg

>>3107919
Even doing physics A-level without maths can be difficult though, you'd have to take extra classes to catch up with things like logarithms.

>>3107918

No.. at the time i applied i had 2As and 2Bs so my grades werent good enough to apply there. Now if i repeat my performances in the final modules i will get A*A*A

>>3107912

Except no you don't. You can switch courses easily once you've been accepted, my degree was originally in bio, I switched to chem during the first term.

You should move to Scotland and do 5 Highers so you get a grounding in a lot of different subjects then do the 3 subjects Advanced Highers that you would have done at A-Level.

English students at my uni seem to be under educated in a lot of general knowledge. For example they know plenty chemistry and materials but they start uni with no prior experience of electronics or software because their A-Levels were maths, physics and chemistry.

There are also plenty of them that are downright illiterate because they didn't study English past GCSE.

I did

Music Tech which was awesome
English language which was surprisingly interesting
Media studies which was fun
Business which just bored me

But i was an exchange student and could give fuck all what i chose.

Fat scottish ginger bastard detected

I'm torn as well /sci/, should I go for Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Biology or Maths, Physics Chemistry and Biology as I really enjoy both however the place I'm attending doesn't cater to Maths, Further Maths and Physics.

>>3108024
U jelly of my lack of tuition fees. U mad?

>quick google shows pic to be Limp Bizkit frontman
>entering AS therefore underage b&
>selecting courses which deliberately upset /sci/
>two of the courses don't hold any weighting getting into university

Yep, it's a troll thread.

First year at University of Bristol here.
I went with maths/further maths/physics/chemistry, but dropped chem after the first year.

I would have done maths/maths/physics/music tech, but FM conflicted with music..

protip: you only need three to get in to anywhere that isn't oxbridge/LSE/imperial/warwick*, and hell, I didn't even wanna go to those places really. sounded too much like hard work, at every stage..

*maths only..

I'd go with three things that you're interested in most, it doesn't really matter, though Maths is required for most science/engineering and FM is liked..
and it also depends on the tier of university you want to go to. better uni = pick subjects more carefully to course.

UWE lets ANYBODY in to anything.

Derpends what you want to do. I did biology, chemistry, physics and geography. But I always wanted to do a scientific degree.

>>3107833

Critical thinking and general studies don't count as actual subjects you moran, you have to do them anyway.

>>3108024

>>3107833
Psychology, Critical Thinking, General Studies, Applied Science

Cool troll.

Critical Thinking is practically useless
General Studies is LITERALLY useless (seriously Universities will ignore it none count it as an actual A-level).

Applied Science, LOL

Come on are you being serious. If you're thinking of pursuing Psychlogy you should be thinking about subjects like Maths, Biology would be a good help for university applications. Subjects like that that show you're a good scientific logical thinker.

Do maths.

Shit's easy bro.
Also, critical thinking is easier than shitting, but a lot of unis don't accept it as a proper subject.
Do maths, do further maths if you're good at maths, do philosophy because unis like it because you need to be intelligent to do well in it.

Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Computing

Good combo?
y/n

Physics, Maths, Chemistry, History god tier
Teach yourself Further Maths.

>>3108884
can't do further maths without also taking maths

god tier is maths, further maths, STEP maths, latin, music

>>3108895
Should have mentioned that Further Maths also includes Maths.

Doing Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Biology.
I work about 5 hours more than any other student doing 5 A-levels.
Simply i want to go Cambridge, and i'm prepared to put the effort in.
If you want to go to a good uni or get a good job, put the effort in and do 5 relative to what you want to do.

>>3108938
make sure you have time to teach yourself STEP, shit is hard

>>3107850

You realise you don't have to be 18 to post in /sci/

>>3108952
Cheers for the advice man any good sites for a proper course on learning it?
Inb4 google it, i'm asking because i dont want to end up paying for shit tier lessons

>>3108963
No you don't. You see how the background of /sci/ is automatically set to "Yotsuba B"? That means it's a worksafe board and anyone of any age can post there.
Try to learn the rules before you quote them at somebody.

My AS' i just finished are Government and Politics (AQA), Law (AQA), Sociology (OCR) and Media (AQA). Id recommend all of the above.

>>3108972
So you're agreeing with him?

/sci/ - Science & Math

All science and math related topics welcome.
Homework threads will be deleted, and the poster banned.
No "religion vs. science" threads.

wat

>>3108972

Global Rules etc etc

Also, OP, don't choose chemistry, it's shit at A level

>>3108982

>>3108964
the way you are expected to do it is learn yourself from the past papers with the mark schemes.

all available from the STEP site, which you can google.

only necessary if you are doing maths though.

I did: chemistry, physics, biology and maths.

OP i suggest you do the same and drop the idea of those joke subjects immediately. I'm not trying to be a snob or elitist but, psychology is dummed down biology, and the rest arent even worth mentioning.

if you pick the subjects you mentioned you arent going anywhere

LSE master race here.
