Guys, IELTs you can take it at the British Council Malaysia. It is a very simple test just to make sure you can follow basic English and communicate enough to get you by. But I think you need to score at least a 7 or 6.5 out of 9 for British Uni?

So what is the pros and cons of taking law subjects in A-levels ? Any comment will be appreciate  notworthy.gif

I am currently a practicing lawyer and I did not do Law for A-levels before I did my LLB.

Pros - You familiarise yourself with Law and get a taste of it and it may convince you NOT to do law!

Cons - Why do law when you can do other subjects?

My advice is to do something like maths which teaches you logic (if you can take it!) or do economics which also encourages critical thinking. If you are interested in law, and not 100% sure, spread out and do different subjects like I did - Chem, Econ, Physics (AS) and Maths (not pure maths! phew!) so you still can do Medicine (no need Bio, just Chem) and I could have done engineering (if i continued my Phy)

Like the previous posters have said, law is not a prerequisite. In fact, I advise you to do maths or english literature which will do you better esp if you are thinking of going overseas. It looks better on your CV. Law at A-levels is not worth the effort but worth a dip if you want to see what you will be learning the next 3 years!
