Am I the only one fighting for my life out here? 😭
I’m starting Cambridge International AS Level this year as a private candidate and I’m taking **Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, and Economics (CAIE)**.
To everyone who got **A/A**\* in these subjects with the same exam board:
What textbook,YouTube channel and notes website did you use
I’m trying to collect the ultimate survival guide before I start because right now my study plan is basically diabolical
Please drop every recommendation you have. Don’t gatekeep the academic weapons 😭🙏
And if you don’t know the answer, kindly upvote for reach so this post can find that one Further Maths genius who solved a differential equation for fun and got 99%.(CAIE)

I recently completed my secondary school education in my country (equivalent to IGCSE) and achieved 8 A* grades. I’m now planning to take Cambridge International AS Level as a private candidate.
I’m considering taking Mathematics (or Further Mathematics), Physics, and Economics, but I’m struggling to decide which subjects would be the best choice.
My goal is to study a Computer Science–related course at university, such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or Software Engineering, and eventually apply to top universities, including the Ivy League.
I’d really appreciate any advice on which subject combination would be the strongest for these courses. Also, has anyone here been admitted to an Ivy League or another top university after taking A Levels as a private candidate? Does being a private candidate affect your chances of admission in any way?
Thank you in advance for your help
