So you are going to apply for Maths, I'm guessing? Yeah, are you not considering Warwick then?

Well tbh id rather go to Durham than Warwick...durham is 5th and warwick is 4th on the league tables for maths so not much difference ther. But the offer for warwick is A*A*A 2 or A*AA 1....and durham is A*AA...so yeah...and its also hard to get an offer they have interview and everything...and after my core 2 exam went badly im also worried about getting A* in further maths....as in maths u only have to get 90 in C3 C4 but in futher u need 90 for all 3...imagine i screw up and only scrape an A on one exam....then ive messed up my chances...but ive still not totallly discounted it...might swap it for bath...

In its simplest form, you learn about the Constitution, the Judiciary, the Executive and the Legislature.

Pretty much the same then, in AS it's UK and then in A2 it's US

Yes, but in A2 you compare to the UK, as in AS where you compared to the US.

However, our Unit 4 had only been around since 2010, so we had two past papers to work with which was not fun at all :frown:

OCR? I know with them, the work in Decision is a piece of cake, time is the main issue, especially in D1 :sexface:

nope AQA....and yeah D1 was easy but the markscheme was really sly and there was a 4 and a 3 mark question which i knew i got wrong due to silly error but they cut off all the marks because the mark scheme was laid out so that no methos
d marks were awarded :frown:

...also because of the easy boundaries were high so i ended up with 83 when i was sure i had 90 :frown:

....and time was an issue for most people but i finished with 20mins to spare...but thats only coz im really fast at exams...core 1 was done in 40 mins :smile:

I feel i got my A in Maths and Chemistry in the bag. I'm just worried that I won't get my B in Biology, but it's a 50:50 I reckon.

Same here.im worried that I wont get a B in biology. We will just have to wait and see.

Sorry

well, I'm not an expert and my brother applied to Warwick and Bath so that isn't much help. But apparently Warwick is regarded as second to Cambridge for Maths. Bath has a nice Maths course, from looking at the modules, don't know so much about Warwick. You could always use the faithful 'ip dip doo' :tongue:

In my opinion, the content of S2 is easier than that of S1. However, the grade boundaries of S2 don't look good.

Aah, I see. Which board?

Original post by kitkat19

oh right for mine..

maths a level--> C1 C2 S1 C3 C4 S2(or M3 :wink:

)

further maths a level---> FP1 M1 D1 FP2 M2 D2

:biggrin:

And before people start screaming why the decision modules!!...i can honestly say i had no choice...after begging our teacher we got a good clean 'No!'

You cannot have that combination, you have to do S2 For maths then :tongue:

For our year we have to due all core and mechanics for FM :biggrin:

Aaah, I see! That's good though isn't it?

For me:
Maths: C1 C2 C3 C4 M1 S1
F.Maths: FP1 FP2 FP3 M2 M3 S2

Yup I'm happy with it, usually my school offers to be able to do some other applied modules but most people take the mechanics route, because it's more fun :tongue:

Although I've heard M4 is a pain :redface:
