AS/A Level Results Day March 8th Megathread

How difficult a subject is depends upon the person - for me psychology is my easiest subject, compared to business studies which I find actually difficult at many points - please attempt Net Present Value and Critical Path Analysis and then say it is the easiest A-level
:| I really dislike people who feel they have to slag off other people's subjects and say they are "easy"

Excuse me, but I actually took Business studies-AS last year and achieved an A grade above 85%. I would say i'm in a pretty good position to judge how easy it is. It's an easy a-level.

ohh, well our teachers go into degree level stuff or teach us things from the old spec for like 2 hours or they criticize if you dont understand something so i dont bother asking for help lol i just work at home and i have a tutor who teaches me at home

So you lost 10-15% of the marks (or UMS)?

In BS1 I had 94% raw mark
In BS2 I had an A but barely....I focused completely on subjects such as law and chem in the summer though where as bs1 was my only exam in jan.

Well done on your BS1.
I'm just saying that you can't call a subject easy if you can't get 100% in it.

Ahh hi5!
Completely different topics though, I done Anomalistic, Depression & Research Methods
Did you get the issues with diagnosis & classification as your schizophrenia question? I kept getting told by everyone that it would come up for Depression & I revised it so much but it didn't come up

Why are people negging your post? -.-

BUSS3 was actually really difficult especially the finance question on stakeholders/shareholders? had absolutely no idea for that and the ICT resit well lets just say I'll probably be sticking with the first exam haha the resit was terrible!

Hope you did well in BUSS3 tell me what you got

Well done on your BS1.

Anyone know when the Edexcel grade boundaries for gce units are released ?

i heard that as well but then i thought would they really be allowed to sell it if its actually from that stuff and it keeps me awake so yh

well i did AS maths last year, so im predicted A* for A2 this year.
for further maths, physics and economics im predicted an A.
you?

That's rather pointless. The degree level content, I mean. My teacher will go into A2 content with me - I'm currently doing AS - but that is only because I'm quite capable and sometimes, like with equilibria, it is worthwhile for him to teach me the AS content and then build upon it with the A2 content straight away.

For my January exam I completed all the relevant past papers and so my teacher did give me older papers to attempt, but only the questions that were still on the new syllabus. Different formats and so on to test my ability to decipher what I was being asked when it was put differently.

You have every right to ask if you don't understand something straight away, as that is what they're there to do - assist and facilitate in your learning. You shouldn't be having to spend money on a tutor and be using up more of your time because they are approaching teaching in entirely the wrong way.

Seriously? Complaining about business studies? It's purely common sense and simple. Easiest A-level out there
