Physics 2014 Entry Hopefuls!

I love my small class! It means the teacher is always super attentive and available to help if needed in class

I wish mine was like that! It's not bad, but I'm not the worst there so I don't get helped much, but I'm not the best and don't like asking too many questions so don't get that attention either My own fault I guess... And it doesn't help that one of the teachers (we have two) is completely awful and won't help anyone anyway

I have two teachers too but luckily they're both very good I guess that's the good side of a large class, you can disappear easier if you don't know the answer to a question or don't want a question. It's not going to be so easy to hide when there is only three of us

I went to my sisters AS result day, same sixth form i'll be attending.

Nearly everyone who did Physics got bad grades like Ds and Cs. 1 or 2 people got an A or B.

I wanted to do it but after that I'm so afraid. Is there another maybe easier A-level then Physics.

I am not 100% sure but I may want to do Medicine.

Please help it would mean a lot.

Except of changing physics, shall I do 5 Alevels then find out whether Physics is good or not then eventually drop it ??

I need to let them know tomorrow please help.

Thanks in advance.

It's up to you- if you're good at physics and are prepared to work at it then go for it, but it's not one of those subjects you can just mess around in and still get a decent grade. It's not necessary to take physics for medicine if you have chemistry and biology, a lot of people do but then drop it after AS though. Taking 5 then dropping one could be a good idea- I did that at the beginning of the year and dropped biology, but my friend didn't drop any of hers and carried on with five so that's fine too if you can manage it

Thank you, I wilk be doing biology and chemistry too. Probably do 5 and see. I am prepared to do physics like I looked over the AS textbook. I didn't find it too bad, idk maybe the papers are really difficult.

Thanks again

I will be doing

Physics
Maths
Psychology
Geography

And I have till Tuesday to change it if I like.

So what do you think about them?

I didn't any longer wanna do bio and chem

Please help, what courses could I do at Uni with these A-levels?

I am worried about Psychology, I have heard it is too much work. So any tips?

Thanks in advance.

What kind of summer work/reading are people doing?

Hey, I'm looking to apply for physics 2014 entry. I currently do maths chemistry and physics at a2 and dropped biology. I got 4A grades at as and I think I can get 3A* predicted grades. However since I don't have further maths will I be considered for top uni's like imperial or Warwick?

Thanks

Further Maths is highly recommended for physics, which is why I'm planning to self teach it next year. However, it is not a requirement at any university, and if your school doesn't offer it, not having it shouldn't have any effect whatsoever on your chances of getting an offer. With 3A* predicted grades, I don't think you'll have any problems getting into a top university

Thanks for that. It's not that my school didn't offer it. It's that it clashed with chemistry. Since I wanted to originally to medicine I needed to keep chemistry so I had to drop FM
