How should I choose which A-levels to take?
Whether you will be taking your A levels in sixth form or at a college, the subjects you can choose to study varies between places, so it's worth checking exactly what subjects are available at your place of study before thinking about subjects you would like to do.If you are sure that continuing your education with A levels is the right option for you, and you know where you are going to take them, there are a number of things to take into consideration when choosing which subjects to do.Here are some factors you should NOT consider when choosing A level subjectsParents - listen to their advice on which subjects to do, but don't let them make your choices for you. They may have a particular subject(s) they want you to do, though if you already have your heart set on certain subjects and/or a career in mind, then this is what you should do.It's important you do what you think is best for you, and if your parents happen to disagree with your choices, tell them you accept responsibility for your decisions, whether the outcome is good or bad.Friends - although you may not want to be on your own in a classroom with a group of students you don't know, it's important to realise that choosing subjects just because your friends are doing them is not a way of deciding what to do.You will either end up bored because you have no interest in the subject, or lessons will just become another time to socialise with your mates, and you'll fall behind with the work.Most of the time you will find there is at least one person you will be able to talk to and get along with, and you will be able to concentrate and do well in lessons without the disruption of your friends.Teachers - don't choose a subject just because your favourite teacher teaches it. Chances are they might not teach it to your particular class in sixth form, or they could choose not to teach that subject anymore, and maybe even leave to find another job at a different school.Furthermore, don't pick a subject because your subject teacher expects you to take it and you feel you should to please them. They may be disappointed when you tell them you're not doing their subject, but it's more important you pick the right combination of subjects than trying to avoid hurting the feelings of your teachers.
Should I choose English in A-levels?
Do you love reading ? Can you simply not put a book down, and when you do, are you straight on to the next one ?Do you understand how literature has influenced our lives and culture, history and psychology for as long as people have been able to read ?Do you find it exciting to write ?And ~~ which country do you live in ? Will the teachers in your school be good and sympathetic and inspiring ?If you know already, and there's no problem if you don't, what do you want to study at University ? What career are you thinking of ?English A level can be WONDERFUL, with the right teachers and the right syllabus, and a keen and avid class learning with you. Even if you have no intention to "use" it in the future, it will enrich your entire life.I have had students who have done Physics, Chemistry, Maths and English for their A levels , and oh how they adored their English, and how good they were at it !The ones who think they might continue with the arts side have done History or French / Italian / Spanish, History of Art, Media Studies / Latin etc alongside their English.Some, who planned to be journalists, did the English Language and Literature A level which is marvellous if you can get it. It's fantastic as a start on creative writing, or journalism.So, it depends a bit on what other skills and interests you have, and your plans for the future. But, if there's a good teacher for the A level, and you love the subject, then yes yes yes. Enjoy every moment of it. Wow, being "made to" read . . . ! ! ! What a pleasure !I wish you *so* well ! Let us know what you decide . . .
What level should I choose, A level or AS level after the 11th grade?
You should start looking for a board. I'm assuming you're not from the UK, so you've two options to choose from: CIE (I chose this one) and Edexcel.A level qualifications are divided into two years, the first year is called AS level while the second year is A2. The content of AS isn't easier than A2 or vice versa, the difficulty and length is divided between the two years. You start applying to universities after AS level and the admissions depend upon your ALevel results, unless you've been granted an unconditional admission.AL or A level refers to the qualification, which includes AS level and A2. Basically year 12 and 13. You should check out Cambridge Assessment International Education Official Website for more information.You're free to message me should you require further information.
What level 2 wizard spells should I choose in D&D based on my character?
I'm assuming you're talking 3.5 or Pathfinder here instead of an earlier or later edition. As such, you won't get any 2nd level spells for a while. I don't have the PHB handy, but (iirc) you will learn an additional 1st level spell at both 2nd and 3rd level sorcerer and not begin learning 2nd level spells until 4th level sorc; so you have some time to consider the possibility. The 'spells known' chart in the class description section of the PHB should show you the exact progression of what level of new spells are learned when. (There are other ways to add to that list, most notably the Extra Spell feat.) As to which spells to pick up, that depends on a LOT of things. First off, do you have access to everything in the Spell Compendium, just the spells in the PHB or PHB plus one or more of the splatbooks (Complete Arcane, Complete Mage, etc.)? Secondly, it would depend on what you want to do with them...a sorcerer is trading versatility for flexibility - you don't know a lot of spells, but the ones you do know are all available on-the-fly as long as you have a high-enough spell slot unused. So plan carefully, but keep in mind after a point you can start trading out your lower-level spells for other ones periodically (for example, if you pick up Tongues as a 3rd level spell, Comp Languages is no longer going to be needed unless you do a LOT of translating daily.)
What should I consider when choosing which A-Levels to take?
Above all, there are two things that you should really be thinking about:What did you enjoy and do well in at GCSE?Where do you want to go after A-Levels?Let’s break this down further:If you absolutely hated maths at GCSE, regardless of whether you got an A*, do not take it for A-Level. You’re going to do much better in a subject that you’re moderately good at, but enjoy with a passion. Why? Because the amount of extra reading that comes with A-Level, as well as taking notes outside of class, and past exam questions, you need to have that drive to study that subject. No drive, no grades.You also need to know roughly where you’re going after year 13. If you want to be a doctor, biology chemistry and maths are probably a good idea. Want to study law? Maybe philosophy, psychology and geography are a better combination. Many university websites will specify the A-Levels they want a student to have in relation to each course, so they’re always work looking at.Whatever you do, for God’s sake, make sure that you’ll enjoy the subjects - it’s hell if you don’t.
What A Levels did you take?
I did my A-Levels in Chemistry, Biology, French and German (+ AS Maths).I always really liked science and wanted to persue a biological sciences degree at university, so it kind of made sense to me.French and German - well… I am German (so it's not exactly an achievement) and I've had much of a love/hate relationship with French since yr 4. I didn't expect to make it up to A2, and yet it turned out to be one of my favourite classes… and my best A Level grade!As for maths… it was a little bit of a disaster (my fault, I've never been much of a math lover).When choosing your A levels, keep 2 things in mind:What subjects do you need to get onto the course you want?Do you want to study Economics? Then take Mathematics and Economics.Do you wish to study Medicine or a Biology-related subject? Biology and Chemistry go hand in hand.Etc2. What subjects do you like and perform well in?There is no point in torturing yourself with a subject you hate for two years - you probably won't do to well in it if you do (take me and Maths as an example).Most importantly, speak to your teachers, peers, parents, and perhaps older students to find out which subjects would suit you.Best of luck. I'm sure you will make the right decision :)
What subjects should I choose for my A Levels if I want to become a software engineer in Sri Lanka?
The best subject stream is the physical science stream which includes Physics, Combined Mathematics and Chemistry. This will enable you to go to an engineering faculty and study computer science there.But it there are other faculties which produce software engineering graduates like Faculty of information technology, University of Moratuwa, university of Colombo School of Computing, etc. along with private universities like sliit which enable you to do their courses if your subject stream is different from physical science.So first you have to decide on a institution which you want to study after A/Ls and select the stream accordingly. But choosing physical science stream is the most safe option.
How many GCSE's & A-levels are you allowed to take?
There is no specific maximum for the number of GCSEs and A-levels you can take- it depends on the amount of workload you can keep up with. Generally, examing boards advise you take up to 12 full GCSEs and 5 A-levels. Also, the school has to pay for each exam you take, around £23 per exam, so this must be taken into consideration. Compulsory subjects in the UK- Maths, English, Science and RE. Specialist schools, such as specialist technology college make it compulsory that you take a technology GCSE. You also have to study PE and Citizenship, but not as a full GCSE subject. You can choose from a wide range of subjects, but it basically comes down to if your school caters for that subject, bearing in mind whether it has a qualified teacher to teach that subject and if it has the available work resources. If you were to study medicine, you would need a science qualification, preferably both biology and chemistry; a maths and english gcse, as well as probably 4-5 GCSEs at grade C and above. These are normally the minimum entry requirements if you are going to study it at a medical college. GCSE Practise: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesiz... GCSE Info: The major examing boards are AQA, Edexcel and OCR, as far as England is concerned.

Which pre-A-level psychology essay should I choose?
If it was me, I would pick is gender nature or nurture, are killers born or made and does the media influence eating disorders. Although Ulysses is correct, I recommend these since you can say in the essay that this essay will discuss the following, but will not include as it is too broad. Also, in a pre A -level psychology, they care about more 'facts', if I remember my A level in psychology. Also, with number 3- you can talk about publication bias and how there are more positive findings due to these papers being accepted more in journals. Negative findings are ignored, therefore, we do not know the whole picture. 4) Is gender nature or nurture? I recommend you can discuss the extreme male brain theory for autism. It has been discussed that people with autism have a over-systematic brain, which has been argued to be very masculine (Baron-Cohen et al., 2001; Baron-Cohen, 2005, whereas females are more empathetic. This indicates that gender is nature-oriented. However, it could be argued that the theory or explanation is flawed as the results could be alternatively explained via the stereotype threat (Steele and Aronson, 1995). The stereotype threat is a predicament whereby people are at risk of adhering negative or positive stereotypes about their social group such as blonds believing themselves to be stupid. When, in fact, they may not be. There is also an element of expectancy bias, I recommend reading the book by Cordelia Fine called "Delusion of gender". 6) Is Killer nature or nurture? This one is great, also you can discuss the ethical and social implications especially neuroimaging, check on papers by Adrian Raine. These are huge questions and huge areas, so it can be murky. However, it is also areas that may help you consider numerous perspectives. Also, when you reach to university. I recommend picking a side during essay writing in the introduction and conclusion. In A-level, you can be on the fence, arguing for both.
