WHat's your most time consuming a level

German, very closely followed by French. The only reason German is more time consuming than French is because I'm not doing a speaking exam in French this year.

French - seems like doing Literature, Politics, Geography and Film Studies all rolled into one half the time! There's so much to learn and practice, especially as I'm resitting AS, but it is my favourite :smile:

Biology - loads of content, but rubbish teacher. Have to learn what the markscheme needs as well as the actual knowledge -_-

Chemistry - just gotta learn it. Either know it or you don't.

Maths - not at all time consuming really.

i didnt do biology gcse, i did core additional and further science -each one has a unit of bio,chem and physics. core is all the unit 1 exams - thats what i got an A* in, and dentistry hopefully :smile:

wbu?

which is the hardest and what grades are u getting in each

last year i got: (UMS)
C1:98
C2:91
S1:93
S2:81
FP1:76
M1:75

so i guess i find the mechanics and further maths modules hardest, im finding decision pretty easy though. im getting A/Bs in d1/c3 papers Cs in m2 and Es in FP2 at the moment, not started any d2/c4 past papers yet

Definitely Biology. I take Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Biology AS and for the whole of GCSE's everyone talked about how Physics was the hardest A level. It's absolute bull. Maths and Phyics are the easiest to revise too. You can pass physics just by using the formula sheet and common sense and listening in class. Biology on the other hand is annoying as hell. Well Unit 1 is ok. Unit 2 is frustrating.

9A* (I did separate Science) 1B (Music) at GCSE.
At AS I got 3A for Bio / Chem / Maths. The Maths I only dropped about 5 marks in, the Chemistry was around 84%.
Got a B in French but resitting the LRW part.

chemistry is very hard to start with, some concepts they taught you at gcse are incorrect so you have to get used to the a level concepts
alot more application is required than regurgitating info

but i think youll be fine if you revise well from the start of the year :smile:

Tbh I probably could've done a lot better but my work ethic and motivation was quite bad last year as I didn't enjoy College for a long time. For French, starting 'revising' early is key - go over grammar, learn extra vocab, practise speaking.... It is a big step up from GCSE ngl especially as you can't learn what you'll say in the exams, it's a lot more improvised! Well worth it though

yeah i got an A* at GCSE in maths and biology and chemistry. i dropped chemistry at AS level after getting a C overall. For biology AS level I got a high C in unit 1, low B in unit 2, mid A in the EMPA. got a B overall, but I'm resetting unit 1 and 2 this year so hopefully can improve on that

there's so much more content than GCSE, at GCSE i could easily do last minute revision and skim over all the topics and do well but this is much harder to do at a level, so I need to work quite a bit harder compared to gcse.

how difficult is each subject
what did u get at GCSE and what are u getting now?

I personally find biology the most difficult but it's primarily because I don't enjoy it so I don't feel as motivated to do it. I got A* at GCSE in all 3 and I am on track (fingers crossed) for As.
