r/alevel

I wanna do physics and maths, and instead of a third a level I was thinking music production which is vocational, and I can’t do another a level on top of it because it’s worth 1.5, but I literally don’t know what other a levels I even want to do.
Possibly thinking career in stem maybe physics or engineering

what y'all doing this summer break ? give me ideas

Im in y12 wanting to apply for mechanical engineering in UCL and Imperial, Ive heard doing projects is very valuable to put on personal statements, however Ive never used CAD or designed much before. If anyone could give any ideas on any projects i could make or any resources to introduce me to how CAD works i would greatly appreciate it

I think I'm gonna use my ipad and use onenote or something, or should I use pen and paper

I’m unsure on whether to pick history or English language a level! I really want to do law in uni I have my heart set on it. I know there’s no required subjects for law but I REALLY want to do well and everyone that speaks about history describes it as hell and extremely hard to do well in. I’m not interested in English language but my friend recommended it to me?

Hi everyone, I plan to take Maths, Politics and either English literature or English language.

Wondering if that's quite overwhelming.

I was just wondering that it would be great to study just one Alevels subject per day as a private student. I have just 80 days left in my exams (oct 2026) so I don't want to end up wasting my time so I just want to know if someone tried studying one Alevels subject per day for a long term? What was your experience?

I rlly like maths (it’s probably my favourite subject at the moment) and for my end of year 10 mocks i got a grade 8 (so i’m hoping for a 9 by the end of y11) and i’m doing fm gcse,,, so would i be okay doing a level maths and further maths or is it like realllyyy hard😭 cuz i have revised quite a bit to get that 8,,, so it’s not like i’m just coasting on no revision or anything….

i’m gonna do (for a level) bio, chem, (i didn’t take triple science for gcse btw….) maths and either german or fm too as my fourth? i don’t know whether to do german or fm butttt like the only college that does german is one i didn’t rlly want to go to but it does get on average very good results and is five mins away from my house so i probably should go there.. but fm is at like all the colleges i would want to go to but i’m scared i will do very bad and regret it?? i would defo try rlly rlly hard and i enjoy revising maths so motivation to revise wouldn’t be an issue, so if i try my hardest and lock in is there no way i’ll do too bad?

but i’m scared if i pick german i’m gonna not do well cuz i’m going against actual native speakers and it is pretty different to my other subjects and idk if i’m good enough,, but my german teacher told me i have to do it for a level so that’s a good sign??? also i’m like so desperate to be fluent in german and i’d rlly wanna go there frequently or maybe live there and i’d regret not doing it cuz if i stop after gcse i’m gonna lose all my knowledge i’ve spent two years learning….

erm it’s probably too early for me to be tweaking about this cuz i’ve not even finished y10 but i have no idea what to do. five subjects would probably be impossible and even four i think is hard but i rlly wanna do either german or fm?! help?!

I am taking fm math phy and chem in a level, I wanted to take CS but I found out that it’s not really necessary. I know I will have FOMO throughout my entire a level. Should I take CS if I want any one of these fields:
Semiconductor engineering
Computer science
Physics
Ai/ Ml engineering
Or carry on with this FOMO?

if i drop maths 9709 as a half A level(AS only material), will i fall behind in civil engineering university or petroleum engineering or like struggle alot in it?

I need genuine advice on Nustrive. Is it really that good? Right now, we only have approximately less than two weeks left for preparation. So, I was wondering that, are Nustrive videos that good? Are they NET focused? And do they explain concepts really well in those short videos? Because short videos to SAT ki bhi hoti hain, aur short videos to organic chemistry tutor ki bhi hoti hain, and you can learn concepts from there as well. So, is Nustrive worth it for the concepts for such a less time? Will it help me learn better if I only focus on these videos? Is it focussed? And I don't have to look at anything else? Please guide me on that because I have less time, rAnd should I only register for Nustrive FLPs and past papers or vids asw? And how many FLPs are there? How many papers are there? is Nustrive really worth it and will it help me get in cuz I keep getting adverts so I’m curious Because this is the only attempt I have. Also How long does the subscription last?

Does anyone know how to calm down about the result day? Every time I remember it , I lose all my motivation because I keep thinking what if I actually did really bad. I need atleast an A or B for my A level and in may June i took only as level. All the leaks also just kept making my motivation go down. Is anyone else feeling this way? Im just so nervous and scared.

I genuinely don't know if I want to go into engineering or medicine, I need to choose my subjects for A levels but can't decide whohc field I want to go to, I kinda wanna do aviation aswell.

So i am gonna start A-levels next month and i haven't decided which collegei wanna go to.some people recommended westminister but i feel like they have this Elitist vibe when i visited the campus. BMI is too far away for me and its also very over crowded. I live in bahria town but i dont mind going a fit far for ny college but i need a good scholarship. Pleasee helpp meee 🙏

Hey there, I just wanted y'all to suggest me some good publishers for tropical past papers of A level (maths right now ) somebody suggested me respsot and read and write what y'all think about it?

If you are a Y12/13 student in the UK or are an international student, or just on gap year and you are aiming for Oxbridge, Imperial, LSE or UCL, and you think anything along the lines of the following:

- Do as much maths as possible and the leaderboard will take care of itself.
- Just do what my teachers give out/private tutors give out as assignments and specific questions/resources will get me a good score
- I'm not int so I have a lower threshold that I need to meet/I'm int to I have too high of a threshold to reach
- I'll just drill past papers under timed conditions and hopefully I will get a 9.
- I'll rush/write faster and I will cut time.
- I'll just blindly work harder and god will take care of me.

As someone who has got a 9 in the TMUA in a third of the time (around 25 minutes in the exam for both Paper 1 and Paper 2) with less than 2 weeks of prep, I will be the first person if not the only person who will tell you none of these are true, or at least don't move the needle enough to get the results you want, fast.

Even both Oxford and Cambridge admissions pages give the advice of just do a lot of maths. There is a reason why top universities give a vague advice, it makes it overcrowded if they ACTUALLY lay out the blueprint.

Generic advice acted out brings mediocre results. If you are aiming for the absolute pinnacle(If you are not and are still thinking you can get into Oxbridge, you will be CRUSHED by those who are willing to put in the real work)

Math necessitates a certain training method of thinking. You cannot just brute force volume and let the results take care of yourself.

This is not a hard exam. You can and will get a 9 with the proper methods.

You don't need a BMO distinction, you don't need Olympiad experience, you don't need anything. I got rejected from every community college in Korea and I still made it.

DM me at JamieBaek on Reddit, I'll do everything I can help.

I’ve just finished Y11 and I’ve began to think that I might want to take a gap year at the end of y13. However I’d need to make my own money to be able to travel. I’m planning to take maths bio chem and maybe do an epq in order to get into dentistry and I’d like to see if it’s realistic to be able to hold down a job during a levels as I kinda have no idea on what the work load is at the moment.

So I recently moved to karachi and i did my igcse last year privately and got like average grades i was wondering which Cambridge a level school is good which has good education,environment, people and extracurriculars as well cuz i really need them for my dream uni I’ve heard city school and beacon house are good schools and nixor college ,army public etc as well im giving my as levels this session oct and my subjects r business,economics and maths if anyone goes to these schools or has studied there , let me know how ur experience is and which school i should choose and all necessary information.

I’ve just finished y11 and trying to get a head start in maths bio chem and I genuinely have no clue what the best method of learning content will be. Do you guys recommend any YouTubers specifically for chemistry and biology? I just don’t wanna miss out chunks of a topic when self learning at home, thanks!
