Hey guys and girls.

well I just finished my IGCSE exams and took 5 subjects, got 3 A*'s and 2 A's

now the thing is i am gonna start my studies for my AS now and which i am planing to appear in 2011 MAY/JUNE session
I dont know which subjects to take,

I am thinking about Math,Physics, Computing and Applied Computing
but the problem is my school does not offer Applied computing and i want a a future in computer science as I am planning a Bachelors in computer science,
well what should i do? which subjects should i take?

and if I take Math,Physcis,Computing and Chemistry, will I be able to finish my AS syllabus till the 2011 MAY/JUne or will i need to divide subjects in the 2 session?

if your future field is computer sciences.
the following subject are the best
Maths
Physics
Applied computing(if no school offers then you may take computing )
Computer does have many fields in it.
in which side you have interest
{
Programming( learn languages like C++, Java etc ,the basic in programmings)
Networking(CISCO and other network courses; )
Software Engineering(do software related courses)
all have to do privately}
taking extra subject will put more burden and you have less time for June 2011(although it seems enough but for A/A* it is ).
chemistry does not relate to your field.
three subject are enough(95% students pick three subjects)
regards

There is competency in programming. if you are very good programmer
in specific language then you have good job otherwise you will run after the job.
artificial intelligence(AI) is the great field and most active field in these days.
next generation is of robotics.
so huge work is going in progress in this field.
if you are interested in any filed your subjects in Alevel must be
Maths
Physics
computing.
here is links and attachments about the future of AI.
