Getting BBB at AS Level?Hey guys, i think i will be getting BBB in psychology, biology, and english this summer. I will take an intensive chem course during A2 at a local college with night classes to get the A Level in two years and i am aiming for an A*. I will apply after a gap year so would places like bsms and southampton mind if i retake an AS modual during A2 to bump them up ? Cheers

Re: Getting BBB at AS Level?Chemistry the hardest A level, are you taking the piss?!(Original post by ilyking)
even then it's down to probability
and chemistry A level is considered the hardest a level, more so than further maths. Be wise, to do the chem course in one year sounds like a challenge -

Re: Getting BBB at AS Level?I'm doing f.maths and chemistry is approximately 3.5 times harder than f.maths. most people I know doing f.maths agree, I think so too.(Original post by tface)

Re: Getting BBB at AS Level?Obviously it's subjective, but out of the subjects I do (Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Psychology) Chemistry I find to be the most demanding and difficult. It's been discussed on this forum a fair bit and generally Chemistry is seen as one of the hardest, if not the hardest A level. Again, it's subjective to where your skills lie, I know I find it a lot easier than I would find French or History A levels.(Original post by tface)

IK find biology harder, purely for those stupid how science works questions. -

Re: Getting BBB at AS Level?It can't be. If it is as hard as you're saying it is then I must be a genius, because I have V. high UMS for chemistry.(Original post by ilyking)

As it is, I am not a genius, so I doubt chemistry is as hard as you're making out.
That said, I would advise against sitting the whole A level in a year extra to three other subjects, unless you were some kind of a genius. -

Re: Getting BBB at AS Level?That's because further maths is no harder than regular maths. It's extra maths, ie the modules not chosen, and not further.(Original post by ilyking)

Re: Getting BBB at AS Level?its due to a lack of effort.......not capability(Original post by SteveCrain)
If you're getting Bs in sociology and English and Bio you won't get an A in chemistry.

It's a next to 100% chance of you getting four rejections if you apply for medicine. -

Re: Getting BBB at AS Level?ok; be aware of two things.
You'll get 4 rejections due to your below par AS grades and lack of evidence concerning what grade you'll get in Chemistry
Unis tend to want 4 AS levels sat in the AS year.
Email places ASAP about that second point -

Re: Getting BBB at AS Level?Well I've looked on a couple of sites and this "You should study four AS subjects" is bandied around.(Original post by mclovin123)

Re: Getting BBB at AS Level?in one year? I called southampton and i told the women i was speaking to my situation and plans and she said "that would be fine". Could she have been wrong?(Original post by SteveCrain)
