I'm in year 12 so I'm half way through AS. I think some units are really nice like core one, mechanics and decisions. I was really struggling with stats but I'm starting to get it (with a bit of help). How are you guys doing, any subjects that your struggling with?
Well, I certainly need to do some work with maths, but the rest I am finding okay... Albeit I am being told to drop a subject which I am not too happy about...
but then why do you want to study Eng if Econ's your best subject?
tbh dropping a subject is the one once you make it to Y13.
The problem is that I didnt do too well in my mocks for maths and now my teachers are worried...
I have always wanted to go into engineering and just took economics because it sounded fun and interesting and I have really found it to be so, however I still thoroughly enjoy physics, maths and chemistry which is why I want to go into engineering

I'm sure if you got your maths grades up they'd see that you're capable of handling 5 A2 levels. however universities typically only look are your best three subjects and if doing 5 means that you get 5A's instead of 4A*s then you may not be able to apply to top universities

I definitely wouldnt take 5 at A2, but it just seems like a waste to have done 3/4 of the economics syllabus and not get anything from it...

are you doing further maths? if not, and you defo want to do eng, then drop chem.

There's no point in even doing 4. Cambridge actually prefer three. I know, because I asked.
At all? I'm sure that doing 5 A-Level and getting A's in them would be more impressive than a student who has three A's. And other Universities expected applicants to have more than three As-levels. I know, I asked.
Today I have made a revision timetable and a list of everything I need to do. I have done some Chemistry revision with Jinay and watched a few revision videos here https://www.youtube.com/user/Jsouassou/playlists - I have found these quite useful.
Oh yeah I forgot to say, I will be posting a picture of the revision notes I do so if anyone likes the look of them and wants a copy just PM me and I'll get them sorted enjoy!
