OCR A G482 9th June 2014

I want to get in Medicine so Maths will only be up to A level for me. But if I decide I want to go into Maths by the end of this year, I might do the entire FM A level in one year.

I should enjoy it anyway, i'm really interested in nuclear physics and they're kind of similar

Goodluck with medicine, I also wanted to do medicine last year but later applied for chemical engineering, try to get some work experience

Did you have much work experience for chemical engineering? I want to apply for it this year but I'm not sure what level of experience I need.

Yeah slightly, nuclear physics is also a module on the A2 course

then you're probably doing great in biology and chemistry

good luck for medicine

Thank you! Thing is, I'm still aiming for an A* in Physics!

What about you? Do you want to Maths/Physics at university?

Yep I've already got some and I have applied for various hospitals, but sadly I have had no replies

I just realised there's no girls on this thread

Physics Is male dominated, only 1 girl in my class

you'll get your A*, just keep aiming for it and work hard

well i'm not sure yet
by my options are basically maths/physics... either nuclear physics, theoretical physics or astrophysics
so much maths

I hope I get it!

wow!! Astrophysics sounds cool... The other two for me are just, well...

Bonjour

How far through the course is everyone in lessons? My class has only finished all of G481 and Electricity and 5 of the practical assessments (which weren't done in class)... I feel we're really behind, especially when I compare to Chemistry where we're one small module (green chemistry) off finishing the entire course

Hey, you're the 1st girl on this thread
I get the feeling you said bonjour because we're both doing french?

We've just finished G482 waves, so now we have 4 lessons of quantum physics... then it's just the remaining PSAs and revsion until the exams. The rest of us on this thread seem to have already finished or nearly finished G482.
If you are behind and you won't finish the spec early enough before the exam (ideally 1+ months), you should speak to your teacher about it asap.

But you've done 5 PSAs already? How many have we got to do in total?

I'm not doing French, although I wanted to do it but it wouldn't fit into my timetable

My teacher claims we're '3 weeks ahead of schedule' but speaking to the A2's they said they were further ahead of us by this point and only finished the spec 2/3 weeks before exams begun It's even more worrying as half of the AS's last year got Ds or below.

There are 9 tasks (3 eval, 3 quant, 3 qual) and we've done 1 eval, 2 quants and 2 quals. You only send of your best mark from each, so you send 3 tasks to be moderated.

I would suggest you speak to your teacher asap (tomorrow perhaps?) and tell him/her what you're worried about. Tell me what your teacher says whenever.

Are you in a sixth form or college? In my sixth form last year, we never managed to finish the whole spec before the exam because there was a mess up regarding which teacher will be teaching which topic and when the lessons will be timetabled. But i left that sixth form anyway, i'm in college now.
