Everyone told me that the gap between AS level and gcse is massive; but although it is early days still I haven't noticed that much of a gap tbh.
I've done really well in the tests that have been set which suprised me,I expected to really struggle for the first few months.
Hows everyone else coping??

[Narik]

Its okay I guess. The sciences are a bit more challenging but it's all manageable [for now !]

[stef.strawbs.123]

More difficult than I anticipated!

Im working at it though

[Dr Acula]

Congratulations on doing so well

[Addzter]

I've found three of them really similar to GCSE so far and I'm doing pretty well in them (Media, English Lang, Psychology) but I absolutely hate Biology and I find it really hard :| I only took it to be balance out the more Englishy subjects with a Sciency one.

[~awkward pause~]

I've found chemistry to be pretty easy, vast majority of stuff I did in GCSE anyway and C1 maths seems fairly easy too. Further maths and physics a bit more of a jump but I still wouldn't say it's that hard to cope with.

[Javindo]

Well like anything it's been a huge learning curve in all subjects but I'm slowly getting to grips with it :P

[Kuriso]

They're going okay at the moment and the gap hasn't seemed that big, but I've just seen the full list of formulae for maths I just need to get into the habit of writing essays again

[sadiechantel]

Im finding it okay, theres a lot of work but keeping on top of it
Very much like GCSE, im really enjoying it

[Colour Me Pretty]

Are a lot of you doing science's and maths?

[(Online)]

For the most part I'm finding it ok. I'm enjoying Psychology more than I expected. Physics is the only thing that I'm slightly worried about, electricity my worst part. Thankfully, I'm good at revising, things should be ok

[Gooner231]

Theyre great

For the record im doing French, Spanish, English Lit and History 19th Century

[Consilio Et Animis]

Chemistry and Physics are pretty simple. Biology has ********* to learn! My maths is a bit crap

[DanieXO]

I'm enjoying them more than GCSE's so far... but mind you I'm taking art, photography and media .

[Ayostunner]

Well i found biology to be a bit challenging at the begiinining but im getting the hang of it now but chemistry is more difficult but i'll get the hang of it soon i guess!

What subjects are you taking?
I did sciences and maths (I'm in A2 now) and there is a big jump.. you may not have found this yet as some topics are much harder than others and it depends what order you're taught them in. Good luck though and well done on the good test results

[RosePetal]

Finding Biology a bit hard, chemistry is alright so far. I never knew the workload would be so much for A-level.

[Faith01]

I am dying man, bloody hell!

I'm finding it alright - not as big a jump as some people told me. German isn't a huge jump in my opinion; it's harder sure, though not SO much harder. Theology is pretty easy in my opinion, probably because I just love it so much. Same with economics, that's going pretty easy atm too - I can see why some people find it hard though. Politics is probably the one I've found most challenging out of them all, though I joined that midway in October. I understand the electoral systems topic though, caught up with that etc, and referendums are alright too; it's just the marking of it which sort of makes it hard for me, not so much the understanding.

[Scrubby]

Chemistry is more like maths atm but not very hard otherwise. Biology is simple but for the awkward style of the exams and having to write an essay for every answer. Physics is ok and very interesting, just the concepts are a little dificult and difficult to explain. Math is annoyingly hard and my teacher isn't making it much better. Strange because I thought I was best at this. But mostly it's just remembering stuff which isn't exactly hard.
