    With electrical you have more scope geographically meaning you can work it out well in various parts of the world. Chemical engineering on the other hand is paid higher but its real scope is in North America.

    You should always apply to make sure but as far as A levels are concerned you should have at least 3 As in major subjects like phy, chem, maths. Admission starts in november and deadlines are in late february.

    Under 18s are accepted. Interview can be done over skype if you can't go. Otherwise for Cambridge they are done in Dubai and for Oxford they are done in the UK. SAT doesn't matter much in the UK however if you think you had an exceptional score then you can point that out but they don't...

    Thanks. For Canada McGill and University of Toronto are the best. McGill gives a major scholarship of 12000 $ for which you have to apply separately, in course financial aid is also offered in case of financial difficulty though it's on average around 5000 $. Actually, it's like this, in the...

    Grade Thresholds for O levels oct nov 2012

    To get an A* after losing 15 marks on p1 in maths you will need to have a close to almost perfect p2. What I meant was that maths papers have a really high A* often close to a real or more than a 90% raw mark

    Grade Thresholds for O levels oct nov 2012

    When the syllabus says, 80% is the minimum for an A. It also says 80% is the minimum percentage needed for an A on a uniform grade scale (that is eventually calculated once the marking is complete for all candidates). Where you are going wrong is, those who think they did more than 80% need...

    Yea they are fine, only your 3 main subjects need to be the traditional ones, other than that you can do any subject whether it is soft or rough it makes a mark beyond the 3 subjects limit. You can show up if you have extra-curricular achievements but keep in mind Oxbridge takes you on your...

    Don't go for a specific field like that. Instead of that you can do biomedical engineering after that you can work in genetics and specialize your work experience in genetics. Always keep in mind, qualification is one thing, experience is another thing.

    Physics, Chemistry and Biology: Post your doubts here!

    Two draw isomers, you need to take these three things into account: 1- Position of a functional group 2- Changing the functional group using the given atoms 3- Changing the chain structure That gives you at least three different isomers every time.

    Didn't get your first statement. SAT II is only effective if you use it as an option in case you think you might not do so well on the entry test. Trying to do well on the entry test is the better way out.
