Mahnoor Cheema, a 17 year old, is now studying for 28 A levels, having already achieved 34 GCSEs. She has an IQ of 161.
Apparently she has a social life too and plays the piano.

It seems an impossibility to do all those subjects yet shows what can be done. Intelligence alone is not enough, she must have incredible time management skills and motivation. She has the same 24 hours a day we all do!

It's good to read of great achievement, I hope she goes on to do great things with her life. I like hearing of young people doing well.
 

I had no clue what 28 a level was so I Googled that. For others that like me had no clue this could help.

Meet Britain's smartest teenager, who is aiming to complete 28 A levels - after getting 34 A*s in her GCSEs.

Mahnoor Cheema, 16, from Berkshire, has already completed four A levels in just two months.

And she's hoping to study for at least 28 in total - which she believes would be a record.

Mahnoor has previously undertaken 24 GCSEs in her own time alongside 10 at Langley Grammar School.

She scored an incredible 33 nines and one eight - equivalent to 33 A*s and one A/A*.

Thankyou , you have explained things far better than me!
I didn't know she got such good grades. I imagine this is a record achievement.
 

Back in my day, a clever student would do perhaps four A levels, which was a big workload. With good grades that enabled university entrance.
At the school I attended, we were allowed to do 8 or 9 subjects at O level. That was plenty for most.

It must be lovely to be so clever. I'm sure her family are incredibly proud as study is a wonderful thing.
 
I don't understand this.. there's not 34 subjects to study in British schools so how she could have got 34 A's in her GCE's is puzzling... much less 28 for A level....


Anyway it would also seem that it's a genetic trait, Mahnoor has two siblings - Laila, 14, who has won national maths competitions and also has an IQ of 161, and Jibran, nine, a grade four piano player.

So AI helped clarify the subject. We like that. Sometimes even Google search gets it wrong. So what is the difference with asking Google or asking an AI assistant?

What an incredible accomplishment! Mahnoor Cheema is certainly setting the bar high with her impressive academic achievements and determination. It's true that intelligence alone isn't enough to excel in so many subjects, and her time management skills and motivation must be off the charts.
The fact that she's still able to maintain a social life and pursue hobbies like piano playing is truly impressive. It's a testament to her ability to balance her priorities and make the most of every minute of her day.
As you said, it's always inspiring to hear about young people achieving great things and working hard to make their mark on the world. We can only hope that Mahnoor continues to use her talents and intellect to make a positive impact and inspire others to pursue their own goals and dreams.
And hey, if she can manage 28 A levels at the same time, maybe she can also teach us a thing or two about organization and time management! 😉"
 
When watching British TV shows, which I’m somehow addicted to, I hear them mention “grade levels“ all the time. Thanks for saving me the trouble of looking it up. Regardless, it is definitely impressive that someone can achieve anything like that.

Actually I did wonder - I didn't know that many subjects existed!
 
It brings up the thought of why we do things. Some things like this, or climbing a mountain, are done not as a useful exercise but for the challenge. Inbuilt within humans is the urge to stretch our abilities, pit ourselves against ourselves as well as others. Break records.

Most people study to get qualified to do the career they want. It is actually important to focus on the subjects required for a purpose.
So I can only assume she did this phenomenal amount of study just to prove she could.
 
I hate to be a downer in such a thread. But these people - the massively intelligent at an early age - rarely end well. It's like there's some kind of burn out. Here's hoping this isn't such a case. Although, taking some many A Levels indicates she's operating grossly under her current intelligence.

It IS rather over-doing things.
 
Wonderful ! I love reading about children and young people who excel. Wishing her the best that life has to offer.
