Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh - Revision Overload

I'm sorry, but what the hell are you talking about? Science subjects are just as hard to learn as humanities - more so from my personal experience.
Maybe your just a naturally superb scientist and can learn work instantly...because looking at your grammar, its not English where your strength lies!

Traditionally it is easier to get higher marks in the sciences than in the arts...This is backed up by the fact that more people get 100% in science A Levels than arts A Levels.

I did 2 hours of revision for A'level Chemistry, 2 hours for Physics, none for maths, 4/5 for Computing. Looked through a few past paper answers for Chem AEA. And you call sience hard? well yes, it is hard now. Looking all these integrals for physics makes me want to vomit.

The thing is though...most Arts teachers/professors believe "there cannot be a perfect answer" so going on number of 100% papers is not a fair test, whereas since science is quantitative it is possible to have theoretically perfect answers. But, this does not mean they are easier.
At the highest level they are both as hard...requiring different but equally prized skills.
But, as far as overall results go...it is easier to "learn" sciences, but just as hard to understand.

I know what you mean about those integrals though...i do geology and we have a lot of those in planetary geophysics.
Wierd thing....ur b-days 1 day b4 mine! :cool:

apparently intelligence may be astrological after all (although i f*cking hope not)

Ahhhhh, of course at the highest level, I agree...But this thread is about A Levels, so I stand by what I said!

A'level science is easy. Except biology, which is just simply boring.

how annoying!

I feel for you guys! I sat my A'Levels last year and wasn't expecting much, and hadnt applied to Uni so there was no pressure. I got 3As and a B so applied to Oxford this year and got in with an unconditional. Im doing AS Philosophy on Fri 10th just for the hell of it. I know nothing, I'll probably fail and my college will be really angry at me but there's nothing they can do! In fact its 5 to midnight right now so I really ought to go to bed. But thought I'd poke my little head up just to make myself feel better at the lack of pressure I'm going through! And also, obviously, to express sympathy for you and wish you luck etc. Hehe.

I'd sign in with a new account from now on, Andrew, or turn off communication with others - the hate will reach you :biggrin:

Why do you feel sorry for us exactly? I did my a levels two years ago - so i dont think my a levels are really giving any pressure right now either. I believe this is the same state for camford...so do you actually have a point to make?
Maybe me studying the greatest science this world has to offer (geology) at a level gave me a real challenge which you dont get with chem.etc. but who knows...
I'm not going to deny i did rather well in my chem either - top 20 in the country or something...shame i cant remember any of that now though

and is that really the most you could make of your first post aswell! Disgraceful!
