No offence but to become a doctor you need a A in maths and English at least defiantly not two c's or even b's

My best advice for you is to Go on mathswach online(a online web that teaches you maths from grades a*-c for higher) or purchasing the cd online if you have not got an account to access it before approaching any past papers. This will reasure you what you want.Of course you can use revision guides and watch online tutorials which are similar to mathswatch vle.:smile:


Ooh, thanks. I've been looking for something like this for a while.

DO NOT PANIC!! THIS WILL BE THE EASIEST EXAM OF YOUR LIFE I CAN ASSURE YOU, AS LONG AS YOU PREPARE FOR IT.


Easy A* using these these two resources.

1. MATHS WATCH CD - This is an essential it will definitely get you that A* and it covers all knowledge. make sure you get the 'Higher' disc and not the 'Foundation' one.

http://www.mathswatch.co.uk/

2. After you have covered the knowledge.. Go on to the edexcel website and do as many past papers as you can. These are crucial to do, without doing practice you are limiting your self. As many people do well at GCSE therefore the grade boundaries would be relatively high

Goodluck, and trust me later on in life when you are in your career, it will obviously include a bit of maths, you will look back at GCSE and think how easy it was. So don't limit yourself to a B get that EASY A*. :smile:

Indeed. I'm year 11 - starting my final exams next month, and finishing the month after. Only to take a 3 month break due to early leave ( boring :frown: )

No offence but you can not go from a C to a A* and defiantly when she has not studied maths in 2 years! To much pressure:wink:

Oh no, it isn't study leave. I calculated the time between my final exam and a realistic date of when my college beginning will occur. The time-frame is 2.5-3 months across. We weren't given study leave either - are you year 10?

Bro, i did GCSE maths two years early, and i was not even any genius, i thought i would just give it a shot. I had only one year of gcse maths taught to me by the school.. however this was useless. I started revising at the end of March for the exam in may, using the two resources i mentioned above.

I came out with an A*. This was literally the easiest exam i have done due to the excessive resources available for it.

Plus, you should always dream big man nothing is impossible, most people just take that as a casual saying. But you will eventually reliaze that later in life
Done 4 all ready got three to go and thanks:wink:

GCSE does have a reputation of being considerably easier to perform than another of the other educational tests, so far as to say you can simply revise it all in three days... perhaps this is true? Good job on the A*, though would you not think it wiser to just focus entirely on the solid B grade than to attempt something, shall we say, more difficult than her original plans?
No offence Magistl but she can not become a doctor with a b in maths and a c in English. I know because I know someone that wanted to become a doctor with better grades and did not make it

OMG I'm so happy now :tongue: as so many ppl are sayin it is possible :biggrin:
I think you need to re think what you want to be because other wise you need to retake every subject
no joke my friend could not get in because he did not get all A* in science and did not get all A's in his other subjects. However he got 1 A* 9 A's and 3 B's which is better than what you got. so I would rethink if I was you!:smile:

I'd be cautious in giving that advice. I've spent a large quantity of my free time researching what Universities look for in their students, and it's become obvious that the whole 'GCSE' is some what overlooked if the A-level's are (A-A* standard). Of course, if you go to College with U's all across, that'd be horrific, but a B and C I don't think they'll mind if you get good grades in A-level.
