The Current Year 10 Thread Mark I (2015-2016)

Nervous that the exams are next May/June !!! only 9 months to go !!!

Is that AQA's Level 2 certificate? That'd be good to take if you're planning on taking Maths on to A-Level.

Can someone please open the following attachment and tell me if it opens for you?
Its not opening for me and Its got some content which I need in order to proceed with my work.

Thank you

doesn't open for me! (sorry that's not what you wanted to hear)

Yep! Planning to take Maths to A-Level but I've heard its petrifying scary. I think this could ease the pain a bit, but I'm having trouble grasping one of the "easier" topics, like inverse functions . In fact, inverse functions in coming up in the new Maths GCSE too, so I recommend ambitious students to start practicing soon as possible (its a grade 9 topic)

But then again maybe I'm just stupid and pushing myself too far lol

Oh its okay, thank you for helping

I wouldn't call that "one of the easier topics". I haven't really looked into it, but I have started work on Maths A-Level, even though I'm in Yr. 10. I think many people are shocked by the jump, which is fairly large. You'll find a large amount of overlap, however, especially in the topics of surds, graph transformations (inc. inversing functions), and iteration (which is in the new 9-1 GCSE), [with A-Level] and possibly co-ordinate geometry and calculus (sounds scary, but the basic principles are fairly simple!) if you took Further Maths. Don't be too intimidated by the past papers. Remember: you probably haven't learnt most of it yet.

How's everyone feeling about going into Year 11 in a month???

Wait!! -- you've started work on Maths A-Level? Already?! And I thought I was ahead!!!

Honestly all the topics you mentioned sound scary to me lol. Graph transformations inc. inversing functions? Iteration? CALCULUS?!


but yeah, you're right. I'll learn it in due time (even the more reason to be scared )

Hi all, general question out of curiosity. Does anybody yet know what they are doing for their A Levels and where they are going to do them?
I'll start:

I plan to go to either Reading College or Farnborough College. I think it will be reading however, as I don't have to change trains and I live 2 minutes away from my local train station so it's an easy journey .

I hope to be able to take History and Politics, however I may not be able to do Politics and I'll do Law instead, because Reading don't offer that sadly . That's why I want to go to Farnborough, because they do. I have no idea about the other two, possibly English and a Science (Chemistry probably)
