Computer Science or AICT (A Levels)

[MarcoReus]

I have heard that if you are going into Computer Sciences/Software Engineering or something related; you must go for Computer Studies (or Computer Science) in A Levels.

How hard is it? I did IGCSE ICT and I find it really, really easy (in O Levels). How difficult is it? What does it include?

Also, can I do both? Is there any benefit in me for doing both?

Beneficial in what sense? Ofcourse you'll know more if you do both.

But AICT is to be preferred, since you did ICT..

The what? Everybody is telling me to do Computer Science as it helps way more and covers everything - while AICT is just a coverage of some softwares.

You mean AICT will be preferred by unis over Computer Studies? :/

No, i mean AICT is more similar to ICT.
Open up a few practical papers and you will know. It's mostly the same pattern, just more complications.
2 Theory papers, and 2 practical papers.

About the covering the knowledge, Computing is more tougher. And you didn't even do Computer studies in O-Level, so it'll be relatively new for you.
But i don't think it's a requirement of any university that you need that specific subject.
You can check up with the university you are applying to, and ask them about the requirement if they have any..

Requirement nae hai but it helps alot. Either be blank here or blank there.
Anyway, World History/English/Thinking Skills?

 

[MarcoReus]

I know about AICT - but will it help? People say it's a waste of time studying it for 2 years - you can easily do it in a few months.

Really? That easy?

Thinking skills is more of an IQ subject. Doesn't even require studying.

 

[MarcoReus]

Which helps best in uni and in my career and shit? Should I take any of them as a sixth subject or leave it entirely.

Well, that's what AtemisDelta said.

Six subjects? You sure you can handle that much?

Better than not trying eh? I can drop it agar problems hoi.

Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Studies. But they say only Add Maths walon ko Further Maths milti hai loool. :/

I don't think that's a policy.. But Further Maths is one of the toughest subjects in A-Level.. Very tough!
And you haven't even studied Add-maths.. even Maths (A-Level) will be tough for you, but how you gonna manage Further maths?

Very brave of you

If you're good at English, then take it..

World history sucks. It's lengthy!

GP is easy, too. It's only an AS subject.

Thinking Skills has no value then? :v

It does, but if you check out the statistics for A in it, they are low. That shows its tough. ._.
But English Language has more value.

Alright. English it is

BTW, does doing AS have a bad effect on your grades (i.e. is A2 preffered by unis)?

Does your school offer AS?

If you're talking about the subjects that have AS only, like General Paper, then no.

No normal subjects like Sciences and Maths.

And no, it doesn't.
