And while students usually take three or four Cambridge International A Level subjects in their first year of sixth form, which typically takes two years to complete – with AS Level normally completed over one – Amogelang tackled five before knocking every one of them out of the park.
AS and A Level courses key to success
The Cambridge International General Certificate of Education (GCE) Advanced Subsidiary (AS) and Advanced (A) Level course is a school-leaving qualification offered to students completing secondary or pre-university education.
Thousands of learners every year gain admission into some of the leading universities in the world with Cambridge International AS and A Levels. The syllabuses develop a deep understanding of subjects and promote independent skills crucial for critical thinking.
It is for this reason that tweeps went into a wild frenzy over the boffin's splendid results, earning her a special place in the collective consciousness of a success-driven social networking community.
At the time of publication, the tweet had amassed almost 17 000 likes, 900 retweets and almost 360 comments as Saffas reacted to the distinct mark of success in kind.
Netizens get sent back to school

"It would be fitting if you typed this in Afrikaans."

"To be honest, I didn't understand why only five subjects... but then I saw its 'Cambridge AS', not CAPS/NSC. Your efforts are truly rewarded. Congratulations, you deserve a Bells and all the best with your Actuarial journey!"
UCT med student welcomes new chapter
Elsewhere, Briefly News reported that one of the newest graduates to be served up from the University of Cape Town (UCT) has everyone in Mzansi talking, thanks to her amazing journey from wishing to becoming what she envisioned.
@Dineo_Bee took to Twitter to share her excitement after recently graduating from the institution's Faculty of Health with a degree in medicine. Attaining the qualification is considered as no mean feat by the throngs who have navigated the world of academia.
And with a pressing healthcare crisis in some of South Africa's most under-served areas, the new medical profession entrant will be buoyed to play her part in providing quality diagnostic and therapeutic services. Capturing her enthusiasm was an image she shared that shows her holding up her newly-assigned name tag.
"Many years ago, I said, 'one day'. Today I said, 'day one'," the caption read.
