Current Year 13 Thread (2013/14) - Mark I

Is it crazy that part of a small (5%) part of me wants to self study ASs in physics, electronics and computing this year?

Hi guys I need help...
In AS level I messed up really bad and I'm left with Chemistry (E), Biology(E) and maths statistics(E)
I really really really want to become a doctor but seen as I dropped maths stats for a modern foreign language (now predicted B for A2) and my chemistry teacher isn't making my life easy and predicting me an E and the same with biology means the chances of getting into biomedical science Is ruined help me what shall I do

You lot get to do electronics. You lucky dude. I hate how some schools/colleges don't do certain subjects. As in I wanted to do economics and wouldn't have minded computer science either but only private schools offered them where I am now other schools are starting them for GCSE well computer sciences anyway



Apply abroad.

I guess I am lucky!

banking/finance/research/statistics atm

Ah fair enough, I awoke to do some biology. We're currently doing intensive farming which isn't as dull as you'd imagine but still not very relevant to the biology I'm interested in.
I might post my CDs (not the disk) on here at the end of yr 13 for the people who want to stay in contact .

Well, Exeter for evolutionary biology. The main issue is that it's clear from my personal statement it won't be my first choice as it's much more focused on evolutionary/biological anthropology. However it is heavily centred around evolution so that's why I'm going for it haha. Plus my chemistry AS grade doesn't exactly help

You?

Ooh ok, hopefully as there's a lot of common ground they won't mind too much? You could always ask to send a second personal statement about it, that or just take the risk as I would imagine it's not a particularly common course so your problem won't be an unusual one.

I have that problem as I'm applying for a mixture of courses but I'm hoping to make my PS about 2/3 physics, 1/3 music to cover both and hope for the best My tough one is Edinburgh for physics and music, love the course but there's no way I'll get on it

That's what I'm really hoping for haha! That's true and precisely, it's not exactly competitive

Oooh I see! I'm sure you'll be okay aww why do you think that?

application sent back to me

Ugh its the AS and A2 problem again...
Am I not supposed to enter all my AS-levels and then all of my A2s... they say that I've entered my ASs twice both in AS and A2... but she told me I could

argh I want unis to see what I got at AS, is that not too much to ask UCAS?

So if you chose to self study electronics I would understand why you would want to though

Physics Electronics though, that is a bit weird...

I guess you could enter the dropped AS as AS.
Then enter A2s as grade pending but enter the first 3 modules

I guess it is a bit weird :P. Someone I like took those subjects last year and I wanted to see what all the jazz was .

you don't say

then they wouldn't see my overall AS grade

which is the problem

Is ln(1+x^2), lnx^2?


Posted from TSR Mobile

It isn't. Pick a number and check.

Hmm I see. How would I split it up then?


Posted from TSR Mobile

It's not a product which is what I assume you are confused by

Remember

$\ln(a)+ln(b)=\ln(ab)$

but $\ln(a+b)$ is not equal to $\ln(a)+\ln(b)$
