Pray for me, please.


Not really, further maths difficulty is overhyped, maths is fine, physics is a joke if you do maths and further maths, biology is how well can you memorise and chemistry is not too bad, just learn the mark scheme. Pray for people who do History, Geography, Politics and Economics + a Language. That is insanity, the number of essays you would have to write...
maths
chemistry
english lit
history

don't worry.... I thinks the same its a welcome of death n afterwards during the A levels there will b no sign of recovery n eventually I will die :biggrin:


hahaha, but if you get good grades in them you will look super impressive!

I'm doing maths, further maths (possibly additional further), physics and chemistry for a physics degree hopefully after Sixth Form :smile:


oooh sounds good, but hard. Brother did maths, further maths, geography and physics so he did similar ones to you. He got A*, A, A, C. Found physics insanely hard, was hoping for a B in physics, but he still got accepted into Nottingham uni to do a maths degree. Doing his first year of exams now. But he did pick up further maths a year later so the most he could get was an A, and he taught it himself - proud sister here!

Mate, to be brutally honest with you, you only really need Maths out of all of them to get into an accounting degree nowadays.

French is well regarded in primary schools- as is maths :smile:

I did
Maths, French, Latin, Classics (AS) and an EPQ (and a cheeky BTEC in Banter Studies)


Wow two languages, I do French and german at GCSE and I find it confusing. Mate, I've already got an oxford degree in banter studies :wink:

I have looked at some of the course and the spec I am taking and it doesn't seem that bad (I bet I will think different in year 12), I'm just going to make sure I do the work in next year, and not hold it all off until a month before the exams!

Eeeek, maths, a science and a language sounds tricky - but very well respected.

history!!!! definitely read ahead, it is the most fun and interesting but hard. maths is easy, but also easy to get too complacent like i did and absolutely flopped my exam on wednesday, so be careful!

I suppose you're right, but it may be out of his own interest to do those subjects, they might be enjoyable to him :smile:

Grrr everyone with their hard A Levels, why do this to yourself lol? I suppose it's pretty focuses so you'll have a narrow perspective. Better than doing random subjects like me I suppose because English language wont ever help me in maths. Best of luck!
I have absolutely no idea what I want to do in the future. Oh dear. But i'm taking:
English Literature
German
History
Film Studies

I swear I'm the only person on this thread not doing maths or science
