AS Maths, didnt take it onto A2 I did BTEC Engineering at the same time.

All you have to do in the Maths exams is remember whats written in a text book? How is that learning?

With BTEC Engineering the maths is no where near as well documented. You have to work it out for yourself.

A neg? really.....because you disagree no doubt. Done both have we? No? Thought so.

Biology It's hard to memorise everything and I should have started further maths in Y12 not Y13

I got cocky at GCSE, only got an A.

I wish I could easily 'only get an A' -_-

Im picking History,Physics,Maths,Economics next year

Any opinions on any of these subjects?

Physics is awful! It is so boring and hard, I loveddd it at GCSE but hated it at as-level and ended up dropping it before the year ended!
Maths is good though, but you have to keep up with the work and make sure you know how to do everything before you move on to the next topic :-)

Absolutely. I abandoned ship after AS.

You dropped it or just failed A2?

Physics!!! That's why I didn't do it at A2!

chemistry - especially organic. dimethyltriethylpen-2-tane can **** off

[see-are]

government and politics

[foolscap]

Economics.
Dead boring, should have done a science subject instead.

[Rainingshame]

None, in fact my regret is not taking Physics (there wasn't enough time for it as i'm doing 5 this year :P). The one that annoyed me the most was a tie between Geography and Biology. Further Maths is up there as well.

Geography, I can't grasp it. Replaced with Physics.

I got cocky at GCSE, only got an A. AS maths WAS a walk in the park. I mean, I may not have had my grades back yet, but I know I've got close to 100% in C1 and M1, and around 90% in C2, hopefully.

I guess we have opposite stories...

I have the best of both, easy AS, (i got 90% UMS doing C1 and C2 in Year 11 and D1 in Jan) C3 i found easy and i got an A* at GCSE doing no work outside of class in year November year 10 :P. Helps that i have a great teacher

How was there cheating in the ISA? We do chemistry EMPAs and I can definitely see how there could be cheating or help from teachers that goes unreported, fortunately our school were very professional and serious about it.

We don't cheat in the ISAs at my sixth form as the teachers are also very professional about it, but many schools do, including my old school, the teachers have access to mark schemes for it hence they know the answers and the grade boundaries are ridiculously high. Its pretty sickening to deny us to a fair education like that, especially for people who are actually good at science.

I love physics! Do you know what exam board? I've always hated maths. I dropped it a few weeks ago because doing 4 A2's got too hard; really do what you enjoy

Dropped it.

I don't regret taking sociology as such, but I wish I'd have been told that I would find it much much harder than my other three AS (chem, maths and further maths), even if sociology is perceived as an 'easy' A level.

TBH naming was the easy part. The difficult part was remembering all of the reagants and conditions for the reaction, i kept on getting them mixed up.

Drama at AS-Level, got rubbish grade, half the class hated me. I wish I did a science now. They originally wanted me to do all sciences as well but I love history/ FS and Eng lang and lit.
