Hey!

I am eager to join QU (spring 27) for emgineering. I am a student of the british curriculum (studying in saudi arabia). I have done 8 Olevel subject with 7 of them being A* and 1 being A. I have also done physics AS (with grade A) and math A-level, with grade B, however i could apply with AS alone which i scored A in (yep messed up big time in A2 ehich brought my overall score down), if that helps my application.

I am also preparing for SAT (expecting 1500 or slightly higher).

Given all that info, what is my best option: is it to do a third AS subject, or a full A-level (meaning would they appreciate a full a-level more than an AS or is it all depending on the grade?)

And should i apply with math AS alone (A) or full A-level (B) or better retake A2 and score an A?

And does the SAT make me not require their placement test?

Ik this was a lot, but i am lowkey lost and would really appreciate any sort of guidance 🙏

I am an 11th grader resident wanting to maximize my chances of admission into kfupm. I am in the igcse system. I understand there is no ig track which is obv unfortunate (esp considering that all top uni from around the world accept IALs...) , though i have taken 8ols (all stars) and am finishing 3 A levels (for fallback options).

So i am choosing between the sat track and the primary track.

My question is if there is any prefernce between the 2. Is the primary track filled in first therefore gives me a better chance? Or are both equal in their eyes?

Also what is the uni math admission test (from sat track)? is it the same as their math 01?

Any additional advice is greatly appreciated
