Current Year 11 Thread Mark I (2014-2015)

I didn't even use the formula sheet in my Maths GCSE last year. Tbh you don't need it.

I chose physics since it seems more interesting. But I don't want to take Maths or Physics. So does that mean I wont get into medicine?
What are the ideal topics?
Man I am so stressed

True, but it calms me down for some reason. Plus sometimes it triggers a memory if you used both the formulas in one lesson. The physics equation sheet is so useless...

Is anyone here doing AQA French?

I don't even get a physics equation sheet

Surely its compulsory with the exam-board? I still manage to get Cs in physics every time ergh

Heheh yep, some colleges ask for STEP for CompSci as well - apparently STEP is aimed at the top 2% of A Level Maths Students

I am!

Probably the fact that I'm on CCEA but still, it is quite demanding trying to learn all the equations before the exam... What are you struggling on?

Pretty much everything in general. I'm a biology person I'm terrible at maths, and I always get the calculations wrong for some reason. This year I'll try to knuckle down and get that B grade in science! Hopefully an A, but I'm sure physics will pull me down

Have you done the speaking?

I don't exactly struggle with chemistry but I do get caught out with it sometimes, but hey, we all have our downsides ... Hopefully you get that A!

Yeah I've done both. Got 29/30 and 28/30 on them.

Fingers crossed! It's the last subject I want an A in though I want A's/A*s in RE, German, French, Geography and ideally one of the English's but probably not. What are you thinking of taking for A levels?

I got 11 A*s and 1 A
What exam boards are you on for English and RE?

Just out of curiosity, how much did you put into revision? When did you start revising?

Yay, we both have an ambition for an A in one if not both of the Englishs

I really have no clue, I have two for definite: Maths, physics. Then idk, if my school does offer computing I will take that but after that I'm kind of clueless if they don't. If they don't I think I'll only have one route which is: Maths, physics, biology and geography or something.

My school unfortunately doesn't offer much which is why I'm considering moving but really can't debate whether to do so or not because I don't have many friends outside of my school friends with the exception of a few.

You?

I wish I was smart enough to do physics and maths and then go on to do engineering or something like that at uni Sorry to hear about your options problem. Maybe moving school, plus I'm sure you'll make new friends being a smarty n' all, may be the better option? I think some unis will accept you for computer science with maths+ a science subject alone.
I'm hoping to do psychology, biology, German and geography, then do either psychology, German w/ Russian (Learning russian outside of school its amazing), or env. science at uni Try looking up computer science or the degree you want on UCAS, that helped me a lot Are you looking at unis? Which ones?

I'm really clueless on what I want to do, I really want to do some sort of engineering especially aerospace but demand kind of depresses me with the latest job cuts at Rolls Royce. I'm pretty passionate about planes and would love to study them but jobs are more important...

Being a smarty doesn't really suit me I'm just good at school because I try at it Maybe the better option but whether it's the more worthy option is another story. CompSci and some engineering are probably the main ones for me, but yeah, I've looked at a few and they do do that thing where you just have maths and a science, though I don't exactly want to pick chemistry because it's tough as it is GCSE so I might be put onto a list as candidates to consider less of . If only my school did further maths .

Nice! Interesting combination I guess especially the Russian! I did that a while back but then I forgot all the requirements I'll look tomorrow I guess. I really have no clue on what universities yet since I haven't kept much track of them at all... What unis are you think of?
