You can give Biology separately or something.
I know people who take both Biology and Computer.

http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/6589642/Khan_Academy_-_Complete_Set_-_480x272_-_7._Aug._2011 ----- alternative source to download for khan academy what you should do is just select the biology videos when downloading via torrents .. that way the download will complete fast since the biology videos are only 2.85GB or less

http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8444379/ ----- this is the Advanced Placement Biology tutorial

for all videos on youtube .. use the tor browser ... and the video download helper addon to download and save videos to your desktop

http://www.4shared.com/office/KDtDLBog/schaums_outline_of_biology_-__.html ----- the schaums' outline for practice

also order the Candidate Response Booklet from CIE .. use the publications order form and buy the candidate response booklet

and no need to worry even if you fail... a year here or a year there never kills anyone... you can even give the last 7 or 8 O-level subjects .. again separately... and then just show the new results only... you can even give the whole intermediate pre med privately.. and if there is a question of practicals then what you can do is talk to colleges to see if they allow you to enroll but let you give the board papers privately so that you do not end up representing the college in the board papers.. just tell them you want to learn and want to give the exams privately... that way you will get regular schooling, practicals trainings and the school does not have to have you on roll call for the board papers ..it is a win win for both ... talk to them see if they agree.... and even if your medical dream fails no issues there is enough money to be earned in most fields if you are clever with using your contacts to build up your career

curious though, why would you want to switch to pre-med? ... people usually switch out of pre-med, even good students with 8 or 10 As in their O-levels

Well, you have more than 5 months..
O-Level Biology can be prepared easily, in this time.

You can find all the notes here--> https://www.xtremepapers.com/community/threads/o-level-notes-center.11138/

EXACTLY. O levels bio can be prepped in 5 months easy.
I prepped for it in the last 3 months. Read the book, do those red spot past papers and those mcq's actually build your concepts.
So if I can do it, you can do it.
and btw I got a pretty awesome grade too so no sweat. You have the time, all you need to do now is study !

You never studied it before those 3 months, in school or through any teacher?

Umm well. It was so that I took up Bio in grade 10 and was the only guy in class so soon after chap 3, the idea of a class just for me died down and so did my urge to go on with bio. But then just when registrations for O levels opened in grade 11, I though of taking it up again. I never went to an academy, just this one teacher who taught me a few things once in a while (same teacher who taught me in grade 10) so virtually speaking I never had proper classes and all and still aced it. So CAN YOU !

I have done the same as you just said,i enrolled myself in a school to study regularly but all in vane!!!! BTW THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND HELP :) I WAS REALLY MESSED UP WITH IT BUT NOW IT MIGHT BE EASY FOR ME TO ACE A GOOD GRADE.
Choosing medical was never a field i wanted,I was fanatical for aerospace and soft wares.I have to do it now because I eard a lot about the fact that engineering is not a field for girls and blah blah,and is subjected towards this field!!

a form will come out in the beginning of January. i don't have the link right now but just google it. all you need to do is fill it out and deposit it at the bank stated. and listen, after finishing a topic, i suggest you solve past paper questions for that topic so that you familiarize yourself with the format of answering plus keep revising. you can make it work! just set targets for each month okay? InshAllah you will manage :)

https://www.xtremepapers.com/community/threads/useful-compiled-stuff.13393/ ----- this thread is a brilliant compilation for O-level and A-level students

do not listen to people who say gender biased stuff...there is no such thing as one career or another being more suitable for a particular gender ... in fact if engineering is not for girls then in that case you will be a unique case and that will make you stand out amongst the competition, it is all about converting a challenge into a strength by overcoming the challenge, it is only logical to do so... but do realize that which ever career you choose make sure it pays enough to meet your needs and more, that will always depend where (country) you work and from which country/university you get your degree

a safe bet at this age is to cast a wide net by developing basic skills suitable for various fields... for example if you want to learn software programming go ahead start now, even study pre-med no harm done, (med students can always switch towards business but business students cannot switch towards medical, the reason being that medical knowledge is way to specific.. business knowledge usually follows logic and human need)... study math a lot if you want to keep your engineering options open...you can switch later always provided your career switch does not set you too back in terms of being able to earn enough... remember they key is to stay flexible and enjoy being curious about several interrelated fields, that way there will be no career blocks but a diverse career with a variety of skill sets

for my generic career advice check my message in this link .... https://www.xtremepapers.com/community/threads/top-careers-in-future.19333/page-2

for your interest in aeronautics (btw aerospace is just one single subject)... the link below shows shows the type of courses you will study as an undergrad and grad student... the link has lecture notes, syllabus, assignments etc
