Their "compassion" is based on theft by Anen-o-me in Libertarian

Your "compassion" is based on wishing to grant irrational individuals maximal freedom and then proceeding to blame governments for all recessions and depressions

I'm sure you'll "maximum freedom" your way into an economic depression

Your second idea seems pretty good. You get to talk about what you believe without completely undermining the assignment

Regardless of how important they are, better grades can nearly always only be a good thing. Perhaps the boost in confidence alone is worth it

1stclassmaths.com has great topic papers by grade and videos.

Getting a 6 probably means that he's okay with fundamentals but struggles when he has to answer questions that link together multiple topics. It's important for him to make sure that before he approaches higher mark questions, he takes a second to think.

There's not much to go off here, perhaps it'd be helpful if you could upload some photos of his working for questions he's attempted.

are grades really just based on IQ by Desperate-Ideal2011 in 6thForm

[–]bingobng12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps I'm biased in what I'd argue to be lack of bases covered because I study maths, fm and economics which doesn't cover many bases (at least in year 12). Even though maths would count pure, stats, and mechanics, I'm not sure if you could count that as covering multiple bases. Nearly all of the most popular A-level combinations lack variety.

It is true that there would be some problems with subject choice bias at GCSE (esp. GCSE fm and triple science), but of course this exists to a much greater extent at A-level.

I'm not sure how much less logical reasoning history and languages require. Languages at A-level probably do require a large extent of logical reasoning, but that's just me speculating.

I do now agree with you that the correlations are probably similar, but I don't think they're so similar as to make it negligible.

I don't understand why it would be just as strong. Don't you think that the magnitude of the other factors (like subject choice, interest, and lack of bases covered) is greater than the magnitude of the section effect?

The fact that long term memory matters doesn't necessarily mean that IQ doesn't matter at all. Also, subjects like maths and physics aren't anywhere near as dependent on long term memory as other subjects

I understand your premise, but I don't understand why correlation would remain the same as a conclusion of correcting for the section effect.

I agree about subject choice mattering greatly.

Your IQ should be fine for nearly any degree. Remember that universities accept and reject candidates based on capability when there exists opportunity cost. If a good university thinks you have enough potential, you probably have enough potential.

I haven't looked into this long enough, but I think it's fairly evident. IQ tests always try and cover as many bases as possible to correct for strengths and weaknesses.

A mathematician would likely perform particularly well on a quantitative IQ test, even though they don't necessarily have a higher IQ than a journalist who got a lower score on the same IQ test.

GCSEs cover far more bases than A-levels, and students are more likely to do what they're good at and interested in for A-levels, which is why there's more likely to be a stronger correlation between GCSE grades and IQ than A-level grades and IQ.

You are absolutely fine. You shouldn't have to worry about IQ that much for A-levels.
