Title: Please help me understand how as/a level works
Post by: Sumaiya jackie on November 13, 2009, 07:05:35 pm

OK, so i just did my IGCSEs, now i'm moving onto as-level.

What is the difference beween as and a level?
I am going to do Maths, ICT, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. Now for each subject, which papers am i going to do for my as-lvl exam next year?

After IGCSE, the whole system seems weird..pls help

Firstly, take four subjects. Five will turn you mad.

Secondly, if you are smarter than I am; stick to taking 5. lol.
