  Hello Abdullahi,
  
  If you are attached with any school, you could get the advise from your teacher. You could take up the subjects as what you did in form 1, and continue from there.

Hi,
I am Mahim. I am from Bangladesh. I sat for O’levels this January. I want to continue my studies in USA. I have taken English, Bangla, Mathematics, Biology, Physics and Chemistry. so what should be my overall grade to get a chance to study in USA. And what are the requirements which I need to study in States. One more thing. I want to study for Aeronautical Engineering. So what should be my subjects in A’levels. what should be my minimum grades. Thank you.

  Hello Mahim,
  
  The best way for you is to consult your targeted university in the US, and get the exact answer on which subjects you should take in your A-Level and the grades required.

  Hi Raphael,
  
  You can write 2 subjects this coming term, then the rest the next term. You need minimum 5 core subjects. One subject from English group, one subject from Maths group, one subject from Science group, then the other 2 from any groups.
  
  Check out the subject groups as stated above.

I am in my final year of my IGCSE’S, and i am taking English Language, English Literature, Math, ICT, History, Biology, and Physics. I have already taken my Spanish exam and received an A*. However, I am not confident in Physics, and I am considering dropping it. Is it a) too late to do so, and b) a good idea to do so. What benefit/negatives will i have if I drop Physics as a subject? Im doing IB next year, and plan to take Biology as my science.

  Hi Graham,
  
  As long as you are very sure you will not take any further study in Physics, you could drop it, no problem. You must check with your school on the cancellation.

    Thank you. I dont plant to be an engineer or doctor, so i don not believe i will be pursuing a profession related to physics. I was just wondering if there were any negatives
