All About A Levels

[Kezia]

I m not sure whether this is that right chat group. I need help to understand how to work out the UAS score for application to Uni


Result as follow:
H2 bio, Chem and maths is A
H2 exon is B
H1 GP is A
PW Is A

HMT took during Sec 4 is A. Wat would be that UAS score.

Also based in the result above it is the considered as AAA/A or AAA/B?

Can someone enlighten me pls.

Thank you very much

So you only got 3 A Level subjects? Can do that now?


Maths B is the regular Maths lor. F Maths was Further Math B.

Who? Me? I had 4 A levels subjects — F Maths, Maths C, Physics and Econs. I thought regular Maths was called Maths C? With my combi, I would fit into today’s contrasting subject criterion.

Those who took Double Math, Physics and Econs (hurray to all of us) would still fit into contrasting subject criterion. Those 4 subjects are today's equivalent of 4 H2 subjects. While it is not possible to do 3 A Level subjects only anymore (meaning people like me cannot siam anymore), the 4th subject (H1) is equivalent to the old AO Level and isn't as demanding.

Previously, the minimum requirement to apply to university is 3 A Level subjects, GP + MTL. Hence, there's no need to take on a 4th subject if you don't want to... though most people do.

Those who took Maths (syllabus) B at A level are showing their age. The last year this was offered by JCs was 1982. From the 1982 J1 entry, they offered Maths (syllabus) C. Not sure about later changes.

Heng. I’m a Maths C baby.

Now, it’s call H2 Math (syllabus 9758). Not so sexy as Maths B or Maths C.

In my mind our C maths stood for Core Maths (compulsory for all combis) = H2 now, and then F maths stood for Further Maths. I think it is also a H2 subject?


And H3 = S paper subjects? For scholarship applications purposes?

[sharonkhoo]

There have been so many changes over the years. But as of now, both Maths and FMaths are H2 subjects, and H3 is the "extra on top". How H3 differs from the old "S" papers, I don’t know. I guess the main reason for taking H3 is to give an edge when facing scholarship boards or university selection boards (if it comes down to interviews, etc), and, of course, some students just like to stretch themselves.
