Current Year 12 Thread Mark I (2013-2014)

euuuuuuuurgggggghhhhhh stats is awful

I don't actually do business studies but I can help with it, with structuring it depends on the question!

It entirely depends on you, really. Forget GCSE maths, only people with A*s at GCSE were allowed to take F.Maths at my school and a third of them are struggling (there are only 6 in my class). One is probably burdened by a language barrier (she speaks English fine, but she's an exchange student from Norway and might not have the best grasp of mathematical terms.). The other one, however, is finding things quite difficult, most notably the speed of it (to be fair our school only gave us one extra lesson for F.Maths, otherwise we have the same timetable as regular maths). Then there's a sort of middle ground in this class, with people who find some topics easy, others slightly difficult, and then there's myself and one other who don't really struggle I would argue that the reason we don't struggle is that we learn the topics out of class, unlike that second person I mentioned, who whines that teachers don't explain things fully and to his liking exactly, which is a ridiculous expectation given our time restrictions.

(We're doing AS Maths and F.Maths in Year 12, A2 for both in Year 13, unlike many schools.)

tl;dr - take f.maths and if you can't deal, drop it, if you can

I wanted to start this week, but the homework, THE HOMEWORK. Sometimes i feel like slapping myself for complaining in Year 11.

homework is revising

tl;dr - take f.maths and if you can't deal, drop it, if you can

that's true... i don't know may be i know things but i really don't know how to apply them correctly

Tbf, AS Maths and Further is really easy to do compared to Maths A2 in a year, but even that shouldn't be *too* hard if you're considering further maths.



Yeah, read markschemes! Seriously

What's FP1 like? I do F.Maths but we do FP1 and FP2 in the second year :/

was ist das? sounds interesting

Well WJEC FP1 is massively different to others... But nothing is too bad at A level

Alright
We do 2 units in AS (I'm doing D1 and M1) and 4 units in A2 (FP1, FP2 and 2 applied units)

Suppose it's to make more people take the whole A-level instead of just the AS Level

I think it's salters Nuffield advanced biology if my memory serves me correctly' as in Nuffield foundation! It's run by edexcel! I do aqa they can't be that dissimilar can they?!

I'm pretty new to this forum stuff but I'm loving it!

hight five !

though i've been very busy recently so my log on time has dropped

Ha ha nearly 6000 posts is a lot though! These a levels are hard work aren't they?!

i got 50/72 in my first FP1 mock and got a B although i skipped 12 marks because it was series and proof by induction I'm determined to get proof by induction covered tomorrow then i'll learn series at home in the half term!
