are 7 subbject much difficult for a level?
-
Depends on the skills yuh've got. Plus, 7 subjects are of no use. The unis require atleast 3 A levels. What yuh need is A+/A's in those subjects.
In my opinion, 7 subjects would be really difficult and will take up around 15 hours of yer everyday? :D
What subjects are yuh opting fer?
-
7 subjects.................... :o :o :o :o
Dude what are you?? :P...just joking :D
Never seen a person with seven subject in A level.
As crooked said 7 subjects are of no use and you need to get A+/A's in those subjects.By the way what is your future plan,i mean if you want a careers in science like medical or engineering etc than 4 or 5 subject is enough...at most 6 subject.
-
Well, that depends on how much time you have at your hands and how hardworking and intelligent you are--also, how important it is to study those subjects. Because there are people who have the capacity to gain straight A's in 7 subjects while there are people who can't even gain an A in a single subject, in the same sitting. I myself have 5 subjects and to be honest, it's not as hard as it sounds. If you put yourself to it and set it as a priority (for me, studies are often my second or third priority) in everything you do, you can actually do well.
For a more in-depth analysis, you should answer the following questions:
1) What were your subjects and grades, respectively, in your IGCSE/O-Levels?
2) Which subjects are you planning to take up in your A-Levels?
3) When are you appearing? Will you appear in AS and A2 separately or would it be a full A2 exam?
Hope it helped. :D

Yer an exception, missy. ::) Boys have to play soccer as well. ::) :P :P

Realise one thing. This isnt your IGCSEs anymore where you can have 8 maybe 10 subjects.
A Levels are not a walk in the park and sincerely doubt you'll be able to hack it and get 7 A/A*s in all of those subjects.

:-\ You didn't answer all my questions. What were your subjects in your IGCSEs/O-Levels and what did you score? Also, when and how would you be appearing in your AS and A2 exams i.e. which year and which session would you appear in which subject, would it be a staged assessment (AS and A2 separately) or combined.
Off the top of my head, your subject combination is in general, very difficult. Sciences are the hardest subjects in A-Level, and you have topped them off with Mathematics, another hard subject. I don't know a lot about Computing but I doubt it's very easy. Environmental Management, on the contrary, is a half-credit qualification and is easy to score an A in. English is also very tough, and I know pupils who have scored A's ( modern day A*'s) in all their Science subjects and Math, but with terrible grades in English.
So strictly speaking: your subject combination is probably very hard to maneuver and you're likely to not obtain 7 A's/A*'s in them; of course, like I said before, every student has his own potential and depending on his situation, he may prove successful in something another is unsuccessful in. So, if you could share with us your IGCSE results and plans for how you would appear in your A-Levels, I could respond to this more effectively. :D
-
Plus if you mess up in a subject then it will still appear on your report card.
If I were a Uni I'd only accept students with 4 As in 4 A Level subjects rather than students with avg grades in 7 subjects.

A-Levels is a very crucial stage in one's life. Your career depends on it. So, I would suggest you to think a little before opting for such a combination of subjects. Focus yourself on what you plan to do in future.
Secondly, these 7 subjects aren't that difficult to handle IF you manage your time correctly. Otherwise you will just be wasting your time, energy and money. Some of my friends have taken even 10 subjects in A-Levels but they are the ones who really are 'book worms'. So think hard before selecting these subjects.
Try to do introspection for some while and you will know what you are capable of.
Good Luck.
-
Some good advices you got there. ;)
Here's mine- DO NOT do that. However smart you are do not attempt it - dude you have a life. :P Drop out computer, english and EMS. Do maths and science. Only subjects that will help you in the long run.
But yeah like Dr Evil said, if you're one of those book worms then you shouldn't have a problem. Consult your school principle or counsellor.

You got an E in English and still you are thinking about taking it in A Levels, knowing that it'll be even harder than before.
Why are you giving AS and A2 in one year? You have very less time. I would NOT recommend this.
You should give A2 in June 2012. If you give A2 in November 2011, you will be wasting a few months because admissions in most universities start in early May till August.
You got extremely good grades in Sciences and Mathematics. Stick to them in A Levels too. And if you are thinking of taking another subject, go for Environmental Management or Psychology (only recommended if you have a very good teacher available).

We have a brilliant teacher of Environmentla Management.
i think i can cop up eith 7 subject
November 2011 is essential becoz i need to prepare for the IIT JEE entrance exam (Toughest in INDIA so)and according to INDIAN context english is neccesary and i can just give another try to english

Well, scrap all that I said. First of all, doing A-Levels for any subject combination in a year is hard and almost impossible to maneuver. Secondly, your grades in all your subjects, save Sciences and Maths, were not really impressive. A grade below 90 is average and an E in IGCSE English means you could only be really disappointed in your AS English, to be very honest. Thirdly, my final advice would be: cut off all your subjects except Sciences and Math, and though you say English is necessary, I think if there's leverage you'd be better off sitting in TOEFL or IELTS than trying to put yourself through the torture of AS English. I am not the boss of you, of course, it's really your job to decide your subject combination; but you ask for advice and I give it. :P Good luck!

I'm not a moderator but I think you're overstepping your bounds. :P I give him advice, if he likes it he'll take it and if he doesn't, he won't. No one said my word is final, then why so serious? ;D

What a thinking man - best piece of advice.
Harsh dude. Take Maths, physics, chemistry. English, in India is actually compulsory so yea you gotta work hard. ;)
Why do you want Biology, environment and computing? See, if you want to go for computer engineering, EMS and Bio are useless. A levels is no piece of cake man.
Also, didn't your school start yet? :S

What's the point of taking so many subjects. Computing is easy but the coursework can be a pain. if you don't start early.

we know that and we have started our computer as well as environmental management coursework
