What is a syllabus? and what are the syllabus for AS physics, chemistry and maths?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=syllabus

Syllabus = curriculum = work on the course. It's from the latin for 'list', as in list of topics.

Plural is Syllabi or Syllabuses. They will depend on which exam board you are doing.

Here in Scotland, the syllabi for our courses are on the SQA website. So you can probably find them on your exam board's website. Just for a quick check, I went on the Edexcel site to look for AS Mathematics. And found this, the specifications for AS Level Maths, Pure Maths, Further Maths and their A-Levels.

Do the same for the rest of your subjects, of course choosing the right exam board. Whether you're doing AQA, OCR or Edexcel :smile:

What is a syllabus? and what are the syllabus for AS physics, chemistry and maths?

It's basically a outline of everything you need to know for your exams. Your teachers will follow them, and this is how they know what to teach you.

What exam boards are you taking them with?

What is a syllabus? and what are the syllabus for AS physics, chemistry and maths?

A syllabus is a description of what needs to be taught on a course. They're currently called specifications for GCE and GCSEs. For domestic GCEs, OFQUAL lays down some common rules for all awarding bodies (=exam boards) on what the specification must be like (e.g. it has to contain coursework, or it can, or it can't -that's why you'll find that all specs have roughly the same structure and don't vary that much in content) and then the exam boards draft specs for OFQUAL to approve.

Each exam board publishes its specifications on its website. There are 5 domestic exam boards - AQA, Edexcel, OCR (all English), CCEA (Northern Irish Board) and WJEC (Welsh), though anyone can use any board. You need to find out what board you are/might be doing to check the right spec.

Links to the main pages for the 3 subjects you mentioned. There are obvious links to the specifications at all of them, but also links to past papers and other stuff.

As I said in an early post, it's actually called a specification not a syllabus. There is a clear link to specification in the middle of each page.

The specification is 147 pages long and does list the topics you need to cover, if you bother to read it. You just need to work out the differences in assessment between the UK and international versions - but I notice there is a document about just that.. However it sounds to be that what you really want is a textbook - just go to Amazon and put in 'Edexcel', 'GCE' and 'Chemistry'

Thanks but I am not very good in internet, I dont know anything to download.
I only want to know the topics needed for AS physics, chemistry and maths so I can search the topics in internet and read it.
