The AAB offer is actually AABa, so you need to work on your maths. If you do additional maths at GCSE you will find the AS level maths to be extremmely easy. The 3rd A2 level subject should be something you are interested in, as well as being a strong subject

There is a statistics GCSE? Additional maths had a pure paper and a combined mechanics and statistics GCSE. You should find maths AS Level or even A2 level is such that once you have practiced the method, no learning is required, hence making it a potentially easy subject to do

Oh no, the statistic course is 75 % exam and 25% coursework. Its not further math but it covers the statistic side to the a-level. my teacher was saying how when people that did stats found their math alevel much easier. what is mechanics as this is on the math A level syllabus ??

It depends what mdodules your school makes you take, but you have to do C1 and C2 which are pure maths papers at AS level. Then you can do M1(mechanics) or S1(statistics). Anyways, work hard on your GCSE's first to get the results then worry but A levels

Do you know any decent revision sites online for free. That arent confusing ?? In maths is just getting to grips with the initial method, but then having examples to practice with.

Sorry but I am the wrong person to ask about revision, especially for maths. I slept during my GCSE's instead of revising for quite a bit of the time as I was tired, and I haven't ever needed to revise for maths. Sorry :frown:

It says they do Statistics for AS and Mechanics for A2. (As well as Core for both.)

RE should be philosophy and ethics (check) and I would definitely recommend it.

Mechanics is just a branch of applied maths. Its my favourite part, and subsequently I find it easy. Its just the forces and motion side of physics, and is really not as bad as it sounds. M1 is quite easy really.

The four you listed just before sound good to me. And your AABb is good enough for alot of med schools. A few (UCL I think) may specify the grade for your AS, but many won't.
