Just wanted to add- top universities have enough historical data to compare IB/A levels w.r.t the outcomes of their students and have decided 40-42 point is equivalent to A*AA-A*A*A

I think this why the offers are relatively high for IB imo.

I could be wrong. it's becoming a habit of mine :oops:

Law is a general subject and I would suggest one of the most useful subjects at A levels is ironically maths.
Thank you for your comments. God knows what he'll decide to be. As at know, it's either an actor or a mechanical engineer. I'd bore you with the list of professions he has liked in the past!

I did in the end.

But I ahve many regrets,forced to medicine by my parents and school.

Let young minds make mistakes, if they really are that bright they will find their own way in life.

No coercion required.

+1. Some people find it hard to sit back and let children make mistakes. Without giving personal details on here, I can say now that I recommend this approach more than ever. They will find their own way.

Don't we all have some regrets? Or at least anyone with any intelligence and self-awareness does. Part of life, surely?
