Let's take a look at the code of this subject in CIE A level:
9700 Biobiology
970 1 chemical chemistry
9702 physical physics
These three courses are called: academic.
9703 music music
9704 Art and Design Art
9705 Design & Process Design and Technology
These three courses are biased towards art and technology, which may be referred to as skills in the following.
9706 accounting
Business research business
9708 Economics Economics
These three doors are called: business.
9709 mathematics mathematics
923 1 advanced mathematics advanced mathematics
Answer the question first: In the CIE version, the study of advanced mathematics requires the foundation of mathematics, and two other papers on mathematics (M2 & amp； S2) also finished learning; The Edexcel version can learn mathematics and further mathematics at the same time.
What you call a prestigious school actually refers to an "academic comprehensive university". Generally speaking, their admission is mainly based on the results of academic courses, which is what you call traditional subjects;
But in fact, in the eyes of children who want to make achievements in the field of art (such as music), Cambridge University may not be the first choice. Royal Conservatory of Music, right? This is the same as the situation in China. Tsinghua is definitely not the first choice for children who want to be actors. It should be a drama school or a music school.
It will be easier for students who have studied domestic high school courses to choose physics;
(Because physics is more compatible than chemistry)
If you don't study in a domestic high school, chemistry class will be easier.
Finally, talk about the connotation of education. If you are sincere about your long-term all-round development, I suggest the following courses:
(9700,9701,9702) Choose one from three;
(9703, 9704, 9705) Choose one from three;
(9706, 9707, 9708) Choose one from three; Plus 9709 math. Take four courses in the first year. I hope your school will provide it, and the opinions are for reference only.
Mathematics is very important for both admission and future study.
There is little connection between business and finance. Commerce corresponds to commerce, and finance refers to banking, securities and insurance.
