For the first one, you could try putting in y=3x2y=\frac{3}{x^2}, expanding (1+y)2(1+y)^2 and then putting 3x2\frac{3}{x^2} back in at the end. I'm not quite sure what you mean by the last one. Is it (x321)2(x^\frac{3}{2}-1)^2?

Sounds like you'll definitely be re-applying then; I can't see you not getting said grades.


Well, I'm not confident with economics as its painfully boring - depresses me revising it. Also, I went and screwed up my physics practical last week, (which is 78/300 of my marks this year) so hopefully I haven't lost the star there.

Why, what have you got in each bit of Physics so far? I'm on a different exam board so not 100% sure of your modular breakdown.

The 2 exams carry 111 UMS with the practical having 78. I have 109 so far and need 270 (obviously).

Several of my friends do CCEA ASPhysics and say it's really easy..

I do OCR Physics B, it's quite hard. I was the only grade A in my class out of 18 people last Jan :s-smilie:

The first module's easy, the second is conceptually difficult at first but the exam isn't too bad. I got full marks in both exams (only in school to do so :tongue:). I was the only person to get an A in January's A2 there as well.

could someone brief me on finding the area in coordinate geometry , how exactly do u use 1/2 *base*height?


what do you mean how do you use it?

Stick numbers in it

yea, definately a big well done mate

physics would be a harder subject to get top marks in too i only fot 83/90 UMS in my first module :frown:

I like the course. It's very rigourous and demands a high level of understanding, really seperates the real men from the little rote learners :smile:

Nope, AS this year, have g492 in june but yes, i'll be doing A2 physics, it is the daddy of all alevels:colone:
Who needs sleep before these exams, lol I'm actually going up now after filling out an incredibly long scholarship form. :tongue:
Good luck everyone! :biggrin:
