I'm 16 years old and I really love electronics - I plan to study EE at University (it won't be Oxford/Cambridge, since they don't do EE, just General engineering) and then become an electronics engineer. I'm good at math (I was the only one in my group who passed the math exam a year earlier, and I got 229/240. I also scored 58/60 at THE ukmt midterm Olympics), and I've had quite a bit of experience in electronics (I lead the winning team at the National PA raspberry pi awards, I'm working on a 250W electric trolley, and I've done quite a few small projects using photos, some of which I've started writing in a kind of portfolio).

I am looking for some guidance for how many changes I should make for my GCSE exams, which are due to take place in may/June. I think that with minimal revision (enough that I am well familiar with the content of the subject) I could get 6-8 A*s (partly because of the extra GCSEs I take, which would mean I have 15 in total), then a few As and Bs, but nothing below that. However, there is a constant struggle with my parents, who believe that I should make a lot of changes to try to improve my grades in several subjects.

One of the subjects I'm likely to get a lower grade in is English, which my parents say is very important and employers will look at it. On the other hand, A/B is not a disaster at all, and I don't risk failing it. Also, it's just GCSE (Level 2 taken at age 15/16) and universities/employers are likely to look more at A-levels (Level 3 taken at age 17/18).

I've been told that when it comes to EE, experience is far more important than exam results for employers, but to what extent is this true? If I have 2 hours a day to spend on revision or electronics, what should I choose to make me the most fit for work?

The best argument for choosing an editor is that a couple of months of hard work is very small compared to the rest of my life, and I can always take up electronics after I finish my exams.

But how many changes should I make? Any advice from experienced engineers or employers would be greatly appreciated.

I am a programmer and the Cisco certificate helped me a lot in my profession. And if you like electronics, it should be interesting for you and help in your future work. I took exams at a company that provides Cisco certificates. First of all, it is inexpensive there. Secondly, there are good specialists working there. Well, in the third place, exams are held online. If you are interested, I will leave a link and you can read it! cciedump.spoto.net

Your passion to electronics is a very good wayto develop yourself. I've also passed Cisco, it is the best option to make your pasion work for you. Good luck!
