What A-Levels/Qualifications would I need to become a video games tester?

I want a career being a video games tester and I was just wondering what A-levels would I need? I guess I'd need an A-level in computing and maths, but any other ideas? I think that Art would be good towards being a video games tester but I'm rubbish at that and I know I would fail, but I'm really good at computing and maths. What other A-levels would I have to complete?|||Go to a game testing jobs board and see what the recruiters are asking for.

Why don't you generalize into the general gaming market and decide that later because that is an incredibly difficult and rare job to get. If your not particularly academic then you could take Media Studies A-Level otherwise I advise taking some base subjects such as English or Maths because you will find it very difficult to get a job if thats all your specialized in.|||what few of those position exist need no education - teenagers who are addicted to video games would probably make the best game testers
