Hey fellow A levers, how you finding your subjects?

here comes mine!

Maths + Further Maths - core and stats going well... mechanics omg! i suck
Economics - it's ok atm not as exciting as i had hoped it be but definitely agree with the whole 'applying it to real life' thing - i go into a shop and think ahh price elasticity! oh and also enjoy actually understanding what they go on about in the news! :biggrin:

Geography - human = good, physical = boring! but hey, my the exam board for this A level is pretty much my gcse syllabus whereas everyone else in my class who went to the school before (i'm new to the sixth form) studied stuff like GLACIERS!? haha never went near those ;D btw i wondering what A2 geog is like, i'm thinking of keeping it! thanks :smile:

subject i wish i had taken: a science! maybe chemistry; i miss it and have been finding helping out others who are studying it!
subject i wish i could have taken: english literature. why oh why did i never read as a child?

thank you for showing interest in our lives. and same - procrastination is on a sky highhh

Biology- I would love it if it wasn't filled with disgusting HSW BS, plus I don't like the teacher
Chemistry- love it, but don't like one of the teachers, he makes snails look like aeroplanes
Physics- love it, don't really like the teacher though, he has some weird way of teaching it, so its a good thing I actually like the subject, which explains why I got an A in the subject last year
Maths- love it and the teacher is great

Horatio-

I really enjoy all my MAIN subjects.

English I find the easiest. Probably because I have a weird tendancy to enjoy writing essays.
Psychology I love it. Effort sometimes but worth it.
Biology. I find it really interesting and love learning it. However I find this the hardest, and exam questions can get a bit grrrr.
Critical Thinking. I'd rather not do it. I hope it comes in handy
Asdan. I don't know what it is. But I was forced to do it and I hope it comes in handy too.

Its nothing special its just some stupid award, just like CiDA qualification I have, I would much prefer to have the actual GCSE IT. When we were studying gcse business and communication systems at school, the students 'incapable' of getting good grades in BCS, were made to do ASDAN. Apparently its equivalent to an E at GCSE. I'd drop it if I were you and focus on your other subjects. Many unis don't accept critical thinking either.

English Lit - easy and interesting
Physics - challenging but captivating
Chemistry - I hate ionisation energy graphs. But other than that, fine.
Biology - it depends out of my two bio teachers which one I have - so, either completely boring or just mildly boring.
Critical Thinking - I can't believe this is a subject, but it gives me a nice break from my more demanding subjects. It's still such a pain sometimes when I want to go home... stupid sixth form policy forcing me to take a fifth subject.

It's going alright.

English Lit - :smartass:

Easily my favourite subject, it just comes so intuitively, and i amuse myself by doing this thing where i pick an outlandish viewpoint on something and then finding loads of evidence that i can twist into backing me up. One of the teachers is scarily funny, and the other is just lovely.
Maths - Nothing difficult so far, pretty confident about walking at least an A. D1 is boring as heck though. :woo:

Physics - It's fine, i know that if i do the work and a decent amount of revision i'll be fine. A little bit unsure simply because i'm struggling to stand out though. :wink:

French - So so easy, but my class is pretty awful.
Further Maths - Pretty confident on FP1, but picking it up 3 weeks late has left me a bit off-kilter with S1, need to go over standard deviation and shiz like that. :eek3:

I wish, but my school won't allow me for some deranged reason.I was only meant to take either Critical Thinking OR Asdan but my teachers decided that I'd be able to do the two year course in one on top of Critical Thinking.

I don't mind Critical Thinking. It has helped. But Asdan is boring and overly simple. My teacher insists Universities take it but I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere!

Teachers chat the biggest crap ever, because my physics teacher didn't teach part of the whole syllabus, the whole year, excluding myself missed out on 6 marks, many of my teachers still don't know what an A* at a-level is one teacher said that you need to get 95% overall to get an A* at a-level.

Yeah.

A lot of teachers have been kinda screwy in one way or another. Whether it's not teaching us something/ leaving out important information, or simply trying to give wrong information!

Only in my final year have teachers kind of clicked and seen the light. I'm doing soooo much better now. Actually hopeful I can get all As now. Just need to pressure my teachers into doing more exam revision for Biology. It's so tough for me :s-smilie:

Maths - satisfying and surprisingly easy (I struggled at GCSE thanks to a crap teacher)

limetang

Maths: Is pretty straight forward and I really like my class and teacher

unitard

Maths - Easy

Panda cares

Maths - Relatively easy so far

It gets harder at A2 :p:

laura94

Maths: I'm really glad I picked maths up again after a 2 year break. I was really worried after having done Additional Maths in year 10 and getting an E, after which I dropped maths altogether. But it's going well so far!
Does anyone know what my chances will be of getting an offer to study economics without having it as a full a-level? If I do some outside reading on the subject to express my interest...

Economics isnt required but it might suggest you lack commitment to the subject so... :/

French - whaa? You mean I can't take a dictionary into the exam?!
Art - HOW MANY DRAWINGS? You mean you wanted them done OVER the summer?
