Will I be able to get a A/A* at physics A-Level if I try hard enough

I got a 6 in GCSE, with enough hard work would it be possible?

If you find Physics concepts interesting, then yes. Did you try really hard at GCSE and got a 6?

I didn't really put any work in Physics throughout year 12 and half of year 13, I got an E in my January mocks. I worked hard from then and got an A in the end, so it's not impossible but I did really enjoy Physics when I was working from Jan onwards.

I did try moderatly hard for physics, but some concepts such as electrictiy, motor effect and generator effect - I just couldn't understand, I was using site such as Seneca Learning to help me, and to be honest it didn't help too well - I'm going to start revising from the moment I enter my new college, But overall i really need to get three A*'s

What degree do you want to do at university?

If getting an A* is your main concern, in your position, I would take another subject since it would spare you a lot of time which you can use towards those subjects. Physics at GCSE is very different to Physics at A level imo, so it would be VERY hard, and potentially make it harder for you to get A*s in the other 2 subjects.

I'm wanting to do Computing at University and my results are as followed
English Language :7
Geography:7
History:8
Chemistry:7
Biology:7
Physics:6
Religious studies:8
Computer Science:8
Mathematics:8
Further Mathematics:B

Have you considered taking FM? you could do Maths, FM and CS. FM would help a lot more than Physics for your CS degree.

I have considered it quite a bit, but i've been objected to it by a friend, I will discuss it with college tomorrow (since that is the enrolment)

But honestly i'm kind of scared to take further maths, due to my friends sister experience with it and how she went from really high grades to really low grades - Physics seems better since there will be more logical things, kinda? thats the thought thats running through my brain instead of a hard question in the maths papers

Well, I can't say whether an A* in Physics is easier than A* in FM. However, you having tried "moderately hard" got a 6 at GCSE, it is going to get a lot harder, and while it is possible to get an A*, doing it for the sake of an A level isn't going to help you in the long run. However, taking FM at a level would help you in your degree and also make normal maths a lot easier. Even if you get A*A*A with major help with degree, it's better than A*A*A* and then struggle or have to learn the FM stuff at degree level.

You're absolutely right - I will discuss with college person tommorow, thank you so much!!

You could see if you could start the year taking both physics and another subject such as further maths and then dropping one after a couple of weeks depending which one you prefer. It might help as you'd get a taster in both before committing to one.

Thank you so much! I will be doing this for sure

It's what I did with Further Maths and Geography, I'd just check at your college first to make sure they allow it.
