hey everyone, how's it going? i guess not too bad! lol, okay so the thing which im confused about is that, i did'nt give chemistry in O'level's and nor was i going to take it in A's/A Level but now im at this stage where i have to take chemistry for A's/A Level, the point is that would i be asked for my previous O'level Result when i'll apply for Under-graduation? and how can NOT GIVING Chemistry in O'level's affect in A'S/A Level or after?
bless*

If you're going into a field where chemistry is important than of course O level chemistry needs to be there. + you'll find it very difficult to do chemistry without o level knowledge.

Can you share which field you want to pursue after A Level?
Then we'll be able to help you better!

That is correct!
You will need to clear O + A Level Chemistry to get enrolled in an Engineering Field like Mechanical, Chemical, Automotive etc.
But if you plan to do something relating to computers then you can take O + A Level Computer Studies to do Computer Based Engineering!

Yeah you should ! It's not actually about that any university would ask for it or not. It's actually about, that without having prior knowledge of the subject from O levels, you can't continue it in the A levels, as you will find it difficult to study.

Yes, you have to take Phys, Chem/Computer Studies and Maths in both O + A Level to be able to apply to an Engineering University or Course!

Plus O Level is going to build your base, so go through O Level syllabus before topping it up with A Level!

No problem, I'm glad to be of help!

That's plenty of time if you honestly concentrate, finish the syllabus, do past papers and manage your time accordingly for all the subject!

Good luck!
