Where are everyone getting their textbooks/revision guides from? The only textbooks I have are the 4 given to me by my school, but they're just walls o' text :frown: I want to get some revision guides (notes without having to write them :tongue: ) but I don't know what to get, usually i'd just buy whatever CGP were offering for my course and job done, but apparently they're rubbish for A level...

CGP can go **** themselves at any level.

how is your biology? :colone: :lol:

Good :tongue: thanks, although I keep messing up cell structure and that. Biological molecules is better.

Woah, I have 2 frees everyday over a two week timetable. Most of the time I have frees when only 6 other people in my year are on a free but I do have the occasional free where practically the whole year is on a free.


:eek: how does that work?!

We haven't gone onto hydrocarbons and that yet :frown:

I like cell structure although i can't quite remember the cytoskeleton by heart yet :smile:

We've done water, carbs, proteins and lipids!

Cytoskeleton?

You'd love my Chemistry teacher's description of Biology :mmm:

All the teachers in the Physics/Chemistry departments make fun of Biology in a way that I thought only I did :lol:

It doesn't really work in text, but try to imagine a stereotypical "retard" voice (I'm morally obliged to be disgusted by own description of this).

"This is all Biology is: plant...dead plant," while holding out each fist in representation of each case :mmm:

that sounds like unit 2 work :redface:

Cytoskeleton is a series of intermediate filaments, micro filaments and micro tubules in the cell to move and support the cell, i just need to remember what does what function now :lol:

Now ... how badly do i want to get ahead in maths and hope i get frees??? .... hmmmmm

But what brands of books? Unless Amazon now make revision guides :tongue:

What's so bad about CGP? :confused:

Hey guys was just doing some questions on Alternating current. Got all the questions right except from one part in the question. This was the full question

4) A 12V, 48W lamp light at its normal brightness when it is connected to a source of alternating pd

a)i Calculate the rms current through it
ii) Calculate the peak current through it
iii) Calculate the peak pd across it

b)i The cable connecting the lamp to the source has a resistance of 0.5(Ohm)

Show that the rms pd across the cable is 2.0V when the lamp is on.

ii) Calculate the peak pd of the source when the lamp is on

I dont understand bii)

What I tried doing was 2 = Peak / Root2 therefore Peak = 2.83V

This is incorrect. Any help will be appreciated, Thanks in advance !

Amazon is such a waste of money
Textbook on amazon: £23
The same textbook on eBay 'like new' = 99p
