Because it's bull****. Nothing is proven so we just read what may be a fact and why others say its wrong.
I picked it up because I thought it is interesting.

Gosh no! It's all hard but I'm one of those people who can't do any maths without a calculator, so it's better for me. I do Mechanics as my third module which is deceptively difficult. I don't do well in any of them, but I do least badly in C2 :smile:
I don't know anything about A2 other than that I'm dropping Maths before I have to touch it :biggrin:


I find C1 much easier than C2 :smile: C2 is so hard, which is why I'm not sure if I should do A2. I've heard mechanics isn't that difficult to understand :s-smilie:

I sort of like the stuff in C2, can't fathom why :/. My friends doing A2 all find AS stuff really easy, and when I look at their C3/C4 books I feel sick :frown:. It isn't really but there are some concepts I can't wrap my head around and they ask really complex questions :angry:

I don't understand 100% of what we do in maths, but I just do it anyway. I don't know if I'll be able to get away with that if I do it next year. I don't feel like I'm good enough for A2 maths as I'm not the most naturally skilled mathematician :redface:

Ugh, Maths. I really hate it and am not doing well. There wasn't anything else to do and I got an A* at GCSE so I thought I was good at it. Boy, was I wrong.


Same ✔️💯

I do the exact same thing! Do you need to take it? If you feel so badly about it maybe it's not the right choice... Maybe talk to your teachers/ people who do A2?

I want to take it, i just don't know if I'll be able to do well in it. My teacher said it'll be fine as long as I work hard, but I don't know, anyway there's no point worrying about it now, I need to actually do well in AS first :biggrin:

If it's something you want, then I say go for it! Hard work will get you anywhere :smile: let's see how AS's go... If I do way better in Maths than History I'll have to do it at A2 :frown: but that's a problem for another day :s-smilie:
