Hi, I'm a student currently studying A-Levels in HELP University College. Any questions? I don't mind answering them.
which intake are you in?

How about the university placement department?
Do they provide enough help and information for university application?
I am interested to go to US after a levels.
How is the break / holiday for A levels January intake?
Yes they do provide alot of info, talks and guidance to apply to universities (UK, Aus, USA, elsewhere like hk, india etc.)
If you have an intake in jan, your first major break/holiday will be around june, after you exams. but i think in between around march or something you have a break. i cant remember.

What are A levels like?
The edexcel exams that are once every 2 months, let's say they test you on chapter 1 and 2 on the first exam, the second exam they don't carry on with chapter 1 and 2, right? It's straight away 3 and 4?
><
How is the workload?
on average how many hours per subject a day?
6 hours per subject per week = 2 hours per day for three days?
and no one follows the workload pattern

seriously, just go at your own pace, but the workload isnt that bad, especially in the first term. 2nd and 3rd sem you might find the workload a bit tougher, but thats normal.
If you join in january 2010 intake, your first exam is in may/june, second exam is january 2011, 3rd and final exam is in may/june 2011.
yes thats how its like, they test you on chapter 1 and 2 in this exam, and the next exam is only on chapter 3 and 4 etc.. but you WILL need the foundations of the previous chapters/exams to do well in the next exams/chapters, although questions directly from previous chapters usually are not asked in the exam. but you shouldnt just throw it out of your head after that exam
