STUDENT'S AMAZING 23-LEVELS
Ali Moeen Nawazish picked up 23 A-levels
Saturday January 31,2009
By Anit Dawar
A BRILLIANT student has been hailed one of Britains brightest undergraduates after passing 23 A-levels in one year.
Ali Moeen Nawazish, 18, is now studying computer science at Trinity College, Cambridge.
The doctors son, who says he has a thirst for knowledge, sat 22 A-levels and two AS-levels, the equivalent of another A-level, after studying for up to 10 hours a day.
He netted 22 A grades, one B and one C.
Subjects included traditional qualifications like physics, chemistry and maths, and more modern additions such as Thinking Skills and Critical Thinking.
Ali, whose family live in Pakistan, said: Physics, maths and computing are my real strong point.
Some of the subjects were trickier than others, such as psychology. I only began studying for the subject three days before the exam so there was a lot to get in. I was pleased to get an A.
Ali sat all the exams with accredited boards Ed-Excel and Cambridge International: Examinations at the Roots High School in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
The youngster, named Top in the World for O-level computer science by exam board CIE, sat his first seven exams in June 2007, three in November 2007 and the remainder in June 2008.
Dr Nick Bampos, senior tutor at Trinity, said: When we first interviewed him we thought this cant be right. Weve never heard of any applicant with anywhere near as many A-levels. Its enormously impressive.

....
all the TIME and sometimes during the Exams i also sit for 10 hours and even more if i have more exams on consecutive days.(But I take lot of breaks 
for meal, Namaz and some TV 
also for few minutes just for refreshment). BUT this Student is amazing
and he got A in most of them. COOL man really COOL.
But i don't think he will come back to Pakistan for obvious reasons.
, 22 A Levels and two AS-Levels =24 subjects total. He netted 22 A grades, one B and one C.
