Dude..A-level Chemistry is hard...why dont u take an Easier subject? like Chemistry is not needed that much in Engineering

ICT would be a lot better..or Accounting(that is if ur looking for a scoring subject)

and By the way it really depends in the place ur livin in...

Yo wassup! lol...kul username By the way!

Dude u took same subjects as me for A level. Ur doing CIE right??
I'm planning to do computer science in uni. And i can say that chemistry at A level is not needed for soft. eng. or comp. sci.

I think taking A level computing would b better than ICT....computing gives u a lot more depth..!! And I love it!
But the sad parts that i couldn't do computing as schools here didn't provide. U can do it privately if schools at ur place don't do it. But the probs is u gotta do projects in it which need to b marked by local teachers not cam. examiners!

So if u get the opportunity..I say drop chem. and do computing with rest of ur subjects!!   :)

that's true if u stay back in india u will need chemistry
Computing would've been good if your aiming at software engineering

Ha that means all 3 of us here are from india!!

Yo wassup...i got the same probs as u man!!
I'm thinkin of goin aboard after a levels too...but if it doesn't work out than i gotta think of stayin on my motherland!
So i'm stuck with interesting/boring chem aswell.....i guess i can do computing just for fun n knowledge!
