Hi iam also resitting biology unit 1 pretty sad about it becoz i thought and ended up with 47 UMS!! :eek:

Iam also resitting Physics unit 1 which ima not suprised about coz i hate Physics but i got a better UMS score than biology which was 52 but passed Chemistry Unit 1 with 60 UMS

Biology is awful :frown:

The subject itself is fairly interesting but there's just so much content to learn! I got 74 UMS in Unit 1 and 70 UMS in Unit 2 (I'm resitting Unit 1 because it's on a different day to Unit 3, whereas the Unit 2 retake is on the same day as U3)

And Physics Unit 1 was fairly boring apart from all the red-shift and big bang stuff, but Physics 2 is by far the most interesting - you get to learn more about forces and look at nuclear physics and radiation. And Physics 3 is a little more difficult but interesting all the same :tongue:

Wow that's really awesome! :biggrin:

I'm currently doing double as well although it looks as if I'll get AA* instead of A*A* (my aim) :frown:

At GCSE how well did you do in the ISA's?

You're welcome, thanks as well :smile:

The ISA's are the controlled assessments (I have to do them with AQA, not sure if the other exam boards do them as well :confused:

)

You're really good! I was actually considering doing the 3 sciences at A-Level although changed the Physics to Psychology as I've been told a lot that the maths included would probably leave with me a grade C in the exams (maths isn't my best subject, but I'm fine with equations and formulas). Since you're currently doing Physics how are you finding it?

I love Physics it great. :smile:

The Maths in the 3 sciences is minimal. If you can manipulate equations you will be grand! I personally love Physics, such an interesting subject :biggrin:

I've found it easiest to print off lots of past papers and try them and then going over them and then revising what i get wrong

also, making a glossary of key words i need to remember
