Choosing A levels: Physics

I didn't find the content too hard, but some questions could be very tricky (OCR). I don't think it's too hard to get a decent grade, but you have to put a lot of work in to make it to an A/A* (in my opinion). A good teacher makes a huge difference too

I don't find it to be as hard as everyone said, but it is a bit boring sometimes, I guess it depends what topics you like.

There is a new spec coming out, for aqa at least, and apparently it's getting harder. (I've had a look at the spec papers and they don't seem too terrible)

Thanks what other subjects did u take and how did u find them ?

I took further maths (doing full normal maths a level in first year then I'll be doing the full FM a level in the coming year). So far, I've sat exams in c1, 2, 3, 4, m1 and s1. I think they all went quite well but I'll be finding out soon anyway. The AS modules are easier than the A2 modules, but if you're good at maths they're all okay.

I also did computing - comp1, the practical(ish) exam I found to be good fun. Comp2, the theory module, was agonisingly boring.

In terms of revision, my college gives us packs notes which are really good, but for all my subjects lots of past papers are the way to go.

I do AQA Computing and physics and OCR for maths and FM

are there any textbooks or ways of revising that you would suggest. Thanks

Ah right good luck with that! Do you suggest starting with the soloman papers and when would you suggets you start doinh those papers.

Also, my physics suggested we get ourselves tutors if we go on do to physics, do you think it is do able on your own( I am an A/A* student btw)

When will they stop trying to make the course harder and just add more content? They don't even teach moment of inertia and in Edexcel mentioned Stokes Law without any mention of the fact that it only applied to slow moving spheres leaving us to try using it on a falling human and wondering why it didn't work. I actually learned more physics at the local library after leaving sixth form than I learned in sixth form.
