I'm starting a new school so I'm really nervous cause i'm scared to meet new people and make friend! We've literally been in quarantine for half a year that is soooo mad to think about! Good luck with starting a-levels i hope you do really well :smile:


Good luck, I’m sure you’ll make loads of friends, I’m staying at my schools sixth form so I’m not too worried about it. Good luck with a levels and your channel 😊

Definitely further maths and chemistry 😬


it's kind of scary because I wouldn't say maths/further maths or chemistry were particularly challenging at GCSE but everyone says how hard they are online and it's really intimidating :frown:(

Is anyone else nervous for starting further maths, physics or chemistry?

Further's not as hard as they say tbh. I'm only done with the first few chapters and I can say that if you have your concepts clear, you'll have no problems. HegartyMath on Youtube is a big help.

Yh me too! Is it just me or is aqa harder

The textbook questions are elementary compared to the standard of questions we face in actual exams - granted, the concepts aren’t difficult but I do think FM does get disgustingly hard when we have to apply everything at the highest level.
