What does "a*" mean? :confused:

You can't get an A* at AS-Level.

Regardless, I'm with Groat in thinking that achieving the maximum for what you did is "better". Furthermore, the difference between an A and an A* is much greater than the difference between a B and an A.

Exactly. With AS-Levels and modules, the A grade is much easier than the A*.

AS equivalent, like extended essay or EPQ :smile:

Thanks

It's interesting to see so many people doing multiple Science A-Levels...I used to love Science when I was in Year 7 but after going two years without an actual science teacher (and this is a school that's supposedly "outstanding" :s-smilie:

) , I lost interest.

It's a shame because scientists are really in demand. I'm still good at Science but the thought of taking Biology+Physics+Chemistry is just too much...however, I really respect people that do Science A-Levels - they're amazing.

Anyways, after a lot of switching and swapping, I think I'll go for these:

English Literature
History
French
Latin (or Classical Greek...it's the subject I know least about, but it's the most interesting)
PLUS I should *fingers crossed* have a Maths AS-Level by the end of Year 11

I wanted to do Philosophy but it seems that it just isn't as respected as History or Classics for example. Should I do Latin, the subject I know more about - but is less interesting - or should I do Classical Greek, which is crazy hard, but fascinating?

I say
English Literature
History and French (I'm taking these along with my other sciences and Maths)
Classical Greek :biggrin:

I should have maths AS too!

I'm taking English Literature, Psychology, Classical Civilization and Law. If I was sensible I'd take some science and maths subjects... but decided to do which ones interest me the most. Ask me in two years time and I'll most likely regret this lol.
