Am I foolish to think of studying A-Levels subjects for fun

Earthcosmic2 SG

and for interest when I am already a matured adult who has a stable job with a Poly diploma ? To think I had graduated from school more than 20 years ago ? The reason why I am thinking of studying A-Levels subject is that I want to extend my academic knowledge. Should I just save money and study something more ‘adult’ ?

You heard of an national scheme called 'Skillsfuture' ?

‘Skillsfuture’ like no use to me one leh. Their courses are not of my interest. No point taking them for the sake of taking them.

If you want to expand your academic knowledge, I think you are better off learning yourself via online resources, pirated textbooks, youtube, quora etc. Focusing on A lvls only give yourself a pretty limited scope of knowledge.

Personally I agree with qdtimes2, that it is better off not to focus only on A level content. The content is pretty outdated, and quite limited and basic. Content knowledge is also not the main skill for A level students.

Also, it depends on which subject matter.

If your interest is in Physics, I could recommend you more things to read up on :)

Personally, even though I specialise in teaching O/A Level physics, and both Junior and JC Level Singapore Physics Olympiads, there are still many things about Physics I have yet to read up and understand.
