O/A Level World Records

[LioxMessi]

I've been thinking about this lately and had been going through many threads out there on it's regard. People tend to appreciate the achievement of these world record holders but eventually end up criticizing them. The holder's are as follows:

(1) Ali Moeen Nawazish : 21 A's in A Levels
(2) Ibrahim Shahid : 23 A's in O Levels
(3) Syed Zohaib Asad : 28 A's in O Levels
(4) Mohammad Haroon Tariq : 38 A's in O Levels

You people might not be aware of this but there is a 5th one as well:
(5) Danish Shabbir : 23 A's in O Levels (2012)

So what do you guys think? Are these records worth making? Or are these just a wastage of time and wealth? I'll be looking forward to see everyone's point of view.

They are worth making. They inspire others to make world records. As everyone wants to be the best. They are surely not waste of time and wealth.

So 1 vote goes in it's favor with a reasonable explanation. Let's wait for the others to depict their view!

 

[jaheen100]

These people are so intelligent. They receive good reward of their efforts.

 

[LioxMessi]

So another favorable vote, explanation : They hope for rewards
Would be hoping for someone to go against it now

 

[Nabeel.Ahmad]

If this is not worth doing, then what is?

This depends on a persons views about life.

Btw, these records were made in a number of sessions. When Zohaib Asad got 28 A's, do you know how many sessions he gave all his exams in?

 

[LioxMessi]

This creates an integrated approach and enables you to think more broadly and critically, i do agree with it but i can't really lead towards a conclusion before the others convey their views on it
Got 11 A's in 2009, gave more in the two years of his A Levels and got 10 A's in A Levels as well till 2011 (3 years), it's remarkable

you are also right

So you're on the counter i see. A well argument! These subjects aren't gonna help you all your life which is exactly one important point to be noted. And don't just stick to 'bechara' Zohaib Asad , there are others as well. So 3 favors and 1 counter, will be waiting for more!

Seek perfection in what you do, not quantity
we should look at maximum A*s, thats more worthwhile
but now even the best unis want something more than pure academics
so its a waste of time and money

A very strong argument to be precise! Academics isn't the only thing Universities seek for, they are concerned for your extra and co curricular activities as well (every US university). So with this, we have 3 favors and 2 counters now!

But by simple 9 A*'s and Extra-curriculars, no one can hope to get into top Universities like Cambridge, Harvard or Yale.
There are loads of students who get that.

But to stand out from the rest, is a good thing. Only then it's possible to get accepted into top universities.

Eman Riaz Ahmed (Former student of Roots Millennium Islamabad) : 10 A's in O Levels, 8 A's in AS Level and 4 A's in A Levels, 4 Ivy leagues (co curricular), not really sure of her SAT score (which is 50% of criteria of US Universities for scholarship). She got a 100% scholarship at Harvard! Can you even believe it? (Not a counter against World Records but for your info of what really matters )

My cousin also got 100% scholarship at Harvard not sure about the results though Well he didnt get many A*s though

That's because for Universities in US, only 25% weightage is given to A Level results, while 25% to co and extra curriculars and the remaining 50% to SAT score (SAT weightage is just too damn high! )
