Re: GCSE Students - What subjects will you take for A-Levels?(Original post by Alexandra's Box)
I've probably already posted but...
OCR Chemistry
AQA Biology and Economics
Edexcel History (Modern)
And I am proud to say that four individually coloured wallets are labelled and ready to be used come the summer, when I start the introductory work set by the college.
Blue for Chem, clear for Bio, pink for History and purple for Eco... so geekily GORGEOUS!
Yay! I'm not the only one who loves my stuff to be all organised well in advance! Still need to decide on colours for each subject(Original post by thatgirlbecky)
wohoo I'm not the only stationary mad and crazily organised year 11 on here!
I'm taking Maths, German and Sociology AQA and Economics Edexcel and although I haven't bought anything yet, I have started thinking about colour-coding, where I'm going to put notes etc.

I salute you for your rather nerdy attractiveness. Most people I know are incapable of bringing one bloody black pen to school. Fools. -

Tell me about it, and when they do manage to bring in a pen its either red or green. Really irritates me when people ask to lend them their stuff

Re: GCSE Students - What subjects will you take for A-Levels?Oooh, me too!(Original post by thatgirlbecky)

I am planning to have a different colour plastic wallet for each subject so far it is...
Pink = Politics
Blue = History
Green (hopefully) = English
White = Philosophy -

Re: GCSE Students - What subjects will you take for A-Levels?I have a friend who is, for her own sake, far TOO GENEROUS with her pens. Every class - Science, English, History - one or both of two particular and EXTREMELY ANNOYING males will go, "Can I borrow a pen, Luuuuuuucy?"(Original post by MissMuffin95)

Lucy's not her name but they whine the syllable like that
A few weeks ago, one broke the pen with his constant idiotic drumming-and-dropping combo whereupon the pen ends up on the floor 10x a minute.
But she still is too kind to say "PISS OFF" like yours truly.
Makes me want to KILL.
Anyway, yeah. Needed to say that.

Re: GCSE Students - What subjects will you take for A-Levels?Hey I'm in Y13 now I would just like to give the best advice there is in my opinion:
PLEASE research the courses you might want to study in two years at university and the subjects they require. I know many people who could not apply to certain universities because they had picked the wrong course.
Good luck everyone! -

Re: GCSE Students - What subjects will you take for A-Levels?At my college interview I put down Physics, Maths, Economics and Government and Politics, plus a Spanish short course as I didn't take a modern language at GCSE. At enrollment I think I'll change G+P to Chemistry or Further Maths. I'm looking to do Physics at university, which would be best to do?

Re: GCSE Students - What subjects will you take for A-Levels?FM would probably help you the most depending on which modules are on it. My son did M FM & P and there was 1 mechanics module in M and 3 in FM which made Physics A level quite a bit more straightforward. It doesn't overlap totally obviously, but it's a similar way of thinking so does really help.(Original post by Nanometre)

Best thing to do is check the websites of the various unis that you're interested in and see which A levels they like. Usually Physics / Maths etc degrees are happy to count Maths and FM as two A levels but some universities like to see a wider range of subjects. -

Re: GCSE Students - What subjects will you take for A-Levels?I'm not sure, if i was good at bio,chem and maths and would do something science related but I don't think I would be that brilliant at them...(Original post by Heptapus)
It depends on what you are hoping to study at university.
What are you hoping to study? -

Re: GCSE Students - What subjects will you take for A-Levels?Why are so many people doing 5. We were informed that there was no benefit what so ever of doing 5 other that if you don't know what subjects to choose and therefor will drop one in the first couple of weeks.
I wanted to do 5; Maths, Further Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Instead I am going to do 4 (Drop further maths.)Last edited by Procrastination; 07-04-2012 at 12:35. -

Re: GCSE Students - What subjects will you take for A-Levels?I was going to do psychology, biology, i.t and history as stated previously in the thread, but now changed to maths, psychology, biology and history
may change biology to either physics or english language depending on my results
