Thank you all, and by the way, the only options I have are A-lvels or go to another school and do SAT's or spanish selectivo, since my spanish sucks and I want to go study in England, they really are my best option.

Daz, how's A-level business? I'm taking Applied next year, and found the IGCSE very easy, would I find Applied Business easy as well?

I'm just finishing the standard A-level business (not Applied) which i actually found ok, as long as you can stick to the formula for the exams its pretty easy to get the marks. I had a few mates that did the Applied which suited them more with the coursework involved, they seem to quite enjoy it as it was slightly more practical than the standard A-level.

What i find with Business Studies in general is that most of the time its just stating the obvious - but just structuring it more and giving things cool names.

its common knowledge, and the second year is just a repeat of the first year.

The definition of Social Cost - A cost to society. Social Benefit - A Benefit to Society. Seriously What sort of work is that.

 

[Mandieta6]

There was some harder ones, though, very few, like Deregulation and Liquidity Ratios, just a matter of learning them though, all the rest is really common sense.

Haha good man! I would've done if our teacher wasn't like a bloody private investigator. He personally checked every CAS hour we did :/

A levels don't mean **** though. it's just a minimum requirement for entry to universities.

i got 4A s for my A levels and an A2 for GP and I couldnt get a place in medicine here in my local U. i may have ****ed it up but u know what i mean.

could have gone King's but cost of living way toooo high.

 

[Mandieta6]

I'm sorry, how exactly do the A level mean nothing, if ******* them up meant you not being able to attend the course you desired? That, to me, means exactly the opposite. BTW, did you do Chemistry and Biology? I'm not sure about England, but in Spain, if you want to do medicine, you have to pass those A levels, and get more than an 8 in the overall, which is like a CCCC, or AAB, and other variants.

 

[yim87]

i did both of those, together with physics and math.

I did it in singapore, and to even get shortlisted for the interview, u have to get a minimum AAAB, and out of all the As two of them have to be chemistry and math.

I did get shortlisted, but that's just about the furthest i reached.

 

[Mandieta6]

AAAB? That's 9.75 here, weird, because I know people who got in with 8.somethings.

 

[yim87]

yes it's crazy down here.

people here who cant get a place in any uni here can get a place in the U of melbourne piss easy.

EDIT: not in medicine of course, just in general.
