Meet the UK’s brightest teen! At just 18, Mahnoor Cheema has achieved an astounding 23 A-levels, each with top grades of A and A*. With an IQ of 161—higher than legends Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein—Mahnoor’s brilliance has earned her an unconditional spot to study medicine at the prestigious University of Oxford.
After acing 34 GCSEs, this remarkable talent from Henrietta Barnett School in north-west London initially aimed for 31 A-levels. However, she wisely decided to focus on 23 after teachers raised concerns about overexertion.
Starting strong, Mahnoor secured four A*s within her first two months of sixth form, and this week, she celebrated stellar A* grades in law and history alongside triumphant results in French and physics. She embraced a broad spectrum of subjects including psychology, sociology, law, and even Latin!
What’s her secret? Balancing passion and work. Mahnoor insists she thrives on the variety, finding herself “bored and under-stimulated” by the standard three A-level path. She believes that true burnout can be avoided when doing what you love.
From reading all Harry Potter books at age six to memorising the Oxford English Dictionary by 11, Mahnoor’s appetite for knowledge is insatiable. Her love for maths and science is matched only by her creativity in film and literature.
Her unconventional approach includes a unique sleep schedule, allowing her time to study, socialise, and enjoy hobbies. Raised in a family that prizes autonomy, Mahnoor is encouraged by her mum, Tayyaba, and dad, Usman, to follow her dreams without pressure.
Mahnoor isn’t just remarkable for her brainpower—she’s an inspiration in balancing life, work, and passion with joy and commitment. Keep your eyes on this sensational scholar, as her academic journey is just the beginning. Excelling beyond exams, Mahnoor’s future is undoubtedly bright! 🌟📚✨
