I always want to hear your feedback so drop a comment down below ✅
I just wanted to thank you for your grade 9 walkthroughs. I got myself a grade 8 (184) marks!
Thank you and well done!
Ive picked maths, further maths, business and media as im planning to go on to do a degree in computer science in uni. I went from a grade 4 to a high 8 in gcse maths within the span of 3 months as i realised i really liked the subject and i was so determined to do it at alevel - and here i am lol
Wow, that's a huge improvement! Really great work, and I'm glad you like Maths! I started liking Maths during the GCSE exam period as well. Really solid choices for Computer Science as well!
Big mistake doing media even if u did it at gcse
@@crazyfriend50 there are no other subjects that i would like to do with the block that i had left and all i really care about is maths so id rather chose a subject that wasnt as revision based and focus most of my time on maths as i know that im good at it
Wow this was so beautifully comprehensive, I loved this and totally agree man this was gold haha; and you're spot on with physics not that I did it but my friends who did suffered differently💀
Yeah Physics was fun.... hahaha
i'm like two months late but i do eng lit, rs and geography rn and regret it SOOO bad. i shouldve picked a science and maybe maths just to keep options open but its way too late rn. i didnt think about my a levels and now im so regretful.
ideally i would do maths, eng lit/geography and chemistry/physics to keep my options open as im also especially interested in getting into tech.
i dont know what to do as i dont want to do a law degree either.
any advice???
Those are the 3 worst subjects ever what the hell were you thinking???
@@jen_sen8508 7 months later, no they’re not. i actually enjoy the subjects and I’m doing very well in them.
Is physics, IT, math and media studies a good combo for cie? I dont even know what i even what to do!!!! I'm mostly interested in IT/ video editing/ animations and game production stuff but i dont know what subjects to pick for that. I'm so confused. I already started my physics classes last week ( which i only took cuz i got an A so basicllly im gaslighting myself into liking it ) and its hell like idk why im even taking it. but i would rather die than take bio or chem. help. what should i dooooo???!! 😭😭😭
CIE is a tricky exam board! I actually have videos covering all of CIE Maths that I did for a company. I can send you the google drive perhaps if you'd find them useful.
Given your interest in IT video editing etc. you have picked literally perfect subjects. If you had a gun to your head and had to drop one (in terms of opening as many doors as possible) it'd probably be IT/Physics.
Physics helps with computer science and game dev believe it or not, but it isnt critical to those if you choose to drop it. Overall, given your interests, these are literally perfect
@@mitchelldye Yessss pleaseee, I would find the maths vids very very helpful! Considering I don’t have a maths teacher at the moment. I’m thinking about dropping physics, mainly because it difficult and timing consuming, when I could be devoting that time on media studies and maths which are way more important to me. But besides that, i think media productions is my main aim really which makes physics irrelevant. And thank you for replying, I feel relieved ;))
@@livelovelaughmyass No worries at all! It's undersandable dropping Physics, it is a huge subject
What about history/geography? surprising the tier list didn’t have these considering they are quite popular.
Very good shout! History is another essay subject, so very similar to sociology/English Literature in that sense. I personally love History, and I've heard good things about it as a subject (although this depends on which periods of history you learn about, there are a lot of options)
Geography is a bit hit and miss, there's case studies similar to business and there's also exams. Very situational
Hi thank u so much for all of your GCSE maths revision videos as I got the grade 9, just wanted to ask if I were to do a maths degree in uni, is maths, chemistry and a language e.g. spanish a good combination?
Well done on the grade 9!
Maths is of course a great pick for a Maths degree. Further Maths is not required for a Maths degree, but universities will prefer it (such as Oxford for instance). Other than that you can choose whatever you want!
So those subjects are perfect for a Maths degree. Adding a language is a good shout just so you don't get bored doing similar subjects all the time!
@mitchelldye Thank you very much!!! This helps me a lot :)
Hi, for those of us who are self-studying Maths Edexcel a-level when will you start uploading the videos? You uploaded prep work but I want to know when the a-level videos will come out and at what time. Plus, will they be an hour long, like normal maths lessons? Thanks!
Hi! Those prep lessons are actually the first few chapters of Maths, so they are good for learning :) I'm going to rebrand them now that summer is over.
As for the other episodes, I have a lot of the already recorded. I'm thinking of doing them weekly, I dont want to release them too quickly otherwise you guys wont study each topic fully. If I restrict it a bit, you can go back and revise which is incredibly important.
As for the length, I honestly think that 1 hour is a little too long. Instead they hover around 30-45 minutes. When we do full exam papers then they will have to be over an hour, just because it's a lot of content :)
I hope that answers your question!
@@mitchelldye thank you so much!! Can I ask around what time next year will we be done learning the content as the AS exam is in May I believe. I'll be using these as my predicted grades. Plus since we can't do full past papers till the content is finished, is it possible to have exam tests like how it's normally done in school with a combination of math topics we'd been learning so far as is done in school. Thank you once again because you are amazing and are helping so many people!!
@@user-pb5jt6xk2m That's a good question, we should finish the pure content before February
if i have picked bio sphyscology and sociology would i be abe to be primary teaching and is it a good combination?
You certainly can go into primary teaching with that! It's a pretty strong combo, it's good you didnt pick ALL essay subjects to give your poor brain and hand a chance to rest lol
@@mitchelldye thank you very much for response
How useful is A level pe ( I’m not doing it but I just want to know out of curiosity)
Sport Science is better for going into the more technical side of sports, but PE is a good alternative for it. The actual course itself, I've heard, is not too bad in terms of workload or exams since it is picked less often so there's no need for it to be as competitive.
Genuine question,most peoples options are based on what degree/field they want to go into , I have absolutely no idea and every time I think abt it I’m more worried, I’m sort of academic but no genius,I don’t have a strong passion for any subjects.im so lost and I haven’t even began yet someone send a miracle HELP
Really tricky place to be in to be honest. In this situation I'd do my best to have a look at different jobs that are out there. You may even decide to not do university at all.
If you really have no idea after researching different jobs, then pick subjects you enjoy and make it work
Got a high grade 9 231/240 overall so thank you for all the help throughout exams
Academic weapon
damn, well done! You're very welcome, I'm glad I could help
jeez 231??? i thought my 216 was rlly good but 231 is insane
@@garlocthegreatest4561 216 is amazing as well!
@@garlocthegreatest4561 lol 216 is still crazy so well done
Hey king, where would you put History and English lang/lit (one course) on your tier list?
History is another essay subject, so very similar to sociology/English Literature in that sense. I personally love History, and I've heard good things about it as a subject (although this depends on which periods of history you learn about, there are a lot of options).
As for lit/lang, it is a bit of an amalgamation of the two separate A Levels and is considered on part with EITHER one of them. So a good option if you cant choose between the two
@@mitchelldye thanks sir, what tiers would you put them in?
Both in B!@@HanaA-zd9we
Is English lit, biology and french a good combination or no? (I’m not sure what I want to do at university yet)
I like English lit and biology! French doesn't exactly open many doors sadly if you arent sure what you want to do. Do you have a general idea? For example, something science related? etc.
@@mitchelldye I honestly have no clue what I want to go into. I just chose subjects that I liked at gcse but I want to pick subjects that will be most useful for me in the future. I have been thinking of switching to another science or psychology instead but I’m still not sure.
@@Irenxic Then this is a pretty good selection, you have a science and an essay subject which will keep a lot of doors open. French is good to become fluent in to open doors too in marketing/business/customer services so it's honestly a solid choice if you just wanna go for spread
@@mitchelldye okay thank you!
What are your thoughts on economics?
Economics is very situational. It's heavily Maths based, so looks good on number-based degrees, but it's honestly only "useful" for econ at uni. Lots of students go for that though so solid choice
Is alevel further maths, maths and economics a good combo
Really strong if you want to do anything related to maths/finance
what would you sat about math +physics +comp science +bussiness studies as a combo?
Maths and Physics already makes me think 10/10! I assume you want to do Computer Science perhaps? If so, these are literally the best options for that
@@mitchelldye Correct! I am planning to go into a computing field ... but I'd like to know from you if adding bussiness to my combo would be the right choice and why ??
@@user-ts3hb3zy1u With computer science, the only compulsory A Level is Maths. Analytical subjects like Maths is a good choice, as well as Computer Science (for obvious reasons). Business is a bit of an outlier, it wouldn't help all that much, unless you are doing a degree in IT systems perhaps. It isn't going to hinder you at all, if you enjoy the subject and have interest then definitely go for it! You picked 3 really relevant subjects already.
@@mitchelldye Thank you!!! This helps alot.
Will definitely be watching your A-levels math videos for sure.
@@user-ts3hb3zy1u I'm glad! And thank you for your support :)
Sir, what would you say about economics?
He mentioned economics at the end
Economics is very situational. It's heavily Maths based, so looks good on number-based degrees, but it's honestly only "useful" for econ at uni. Lots of students go for that though so solid choice
nice, thanks for all the maths revision videos they got me an 8.
You're welcome! Congratulations on getting an 8!
here we go
Is a level maths +spanish +business a good combo
It totally depends on what you'd like to do in the future. It's a good spread, in the sense that Maths opens up the STEM side of things and business the "essay" side of things.
taking maths + Further, chemistry and either bio or physics (still deciding since they’re allowing me to pick on the day) And have learnt my lesson to revise from the start.
Great choices! And yeah, that's a good lesson to learn for the start of year 12!
What do you think you might want to do next? Biology is lots of memorising, physics is harder, but there's less to memorise
@@grassytramtracks im honestly not sure, i was wondering if physics would go easier paired with FM, and biology doesn’t seem that useful since chemistry is central to most bio degrees. Im honestly quite good at memorising, but have a good problem solving brain. Im mostly leaning towards bio since i like learning about the human body, and what i like about physics is the theoretical physics (particles are so interesting) but i don’t really like electricity, and electromagnetism is meh since it got a bit rushed at my school and i would need to brush up on it. and looking at jobs i dont want to go into medicine, but not sure about bio eng or bio chem. Physics i could kinda see myself getting into but mostly the theory.
Sir what do you think about philosophy?
An interesting one, I'd say bottom of B tier. It doesn't open many doors, except it's good for essay based subjects at university, especially law. Law has a philosophy module at university but it also shows that you can construct well-reasoned arguments.
@@mitchelldye would you say it’s good to take if I want to take maths and philosophy as a degree? Also would love your opinion on the maths and philosophy degree as I’m not sure if it’s useful!
A level spanish is basically sociology in spanish
that's interesting! Do they teach more about the culture etc. of Spain/spanish speaking countries?
@mitchelldye not really but the teach about Spanish holidays and technology and society in spanish speaking world
@@ArkWeld. That's really interesting! I want to move to a Spanish speaking country myself so maybe I should've studied A Level Spanish
@@mitchelldye I do A level French and I think you've undersold languages a bit, A level is really quite different from GCSE, you have an independent research project you have to speak about on the speaking exam and you also have to write essays about a book and a film and you have to know topic specific facts. Both modern and classical language A levels are facilitating subjects and regarded highly by universities for essay based subjects, because they are some of the hardest A levels you can do. In my case it's not really contributing to what I want to do though, I do maths, further maths, physics and French, and I want to study engineering at uni. I'm doing French just because I like it and because I am half French
@@grassytramtracks Wow that is really interesting. I'm glad it's a lot more imopactful than GCSE
What about history
I think I mentioned it briefly.
It falls under the same umbrella as the essay subjects, it's good to get into any of them including, for example, law. It's a really good pick if you're interested in History and want to do an essay subject at university!
What about politics?
It's an essay subject that has a fair bit in common with law and philosophy in the sense that it also helps you construct arguments. If you want to go into politics (duh) or another essay subject like law, it is really useful
Philosophy? :)
Great for Law (and other essay subjects like History and politics). Funnily enough, it's also recommended for a Maths degree due to the nature of logical reasoning and the thought processes you'll study. Really strong subject overall, although there is a ton to remember!
@@mitchelldyehow about classics? would you say the same for it?
@@S0LILOQUY Pretty much!
