s104 October start

I've sort of neglected S104 for the past few weeks because I've already gotten through a few of them. Book 4 is a lot more in-depth (and 5 but most of it is optional) so if you've not done A Level Chemistry that one could take you 2 months to get through.

I have Alevel chem and bio at grade A* so Im not worried about book 4 or 5 too much.
Im more worried about book 7 because that the direction I want to go in (ie physics) and I dont have an Alevel just general interest.
But yea I have heard horrid things about book 4. I am planning on using my Alevel books to get though it as Ive heard its very badly written.

I done S104 last year but had to defer at the start of this year until this October due to my health. I'm looking forward to starting back up again
The books are the exact same as what I got last year for the module but the TMA questions will be different. From experience with doing TMAs last year, don't underestimate how long a TMA will take to complete. It may look like there's not a lot of questions and may only take you a day to finish but I saw me taking about 4 hours to answer one question perfectly. Always remember to include your working! I lost a lot of marks at the start of the module because of that.

What other modules are you guys doing and what pathway are yous on? I'm also doing SK143 and S141 though I wont have to start S141 until last next year as I deferred that too but banked my scores for that module so I don't have to start that one again until I reached the work I missed. I'm on the biology pathway. Was originally on the astronomy pathway but the level of maths and physics needed terrified me! Lol

I took Maths and Physics because I didn't want to explain "Natural Sciences" to people all of the time, but it turns out that I've ended up loving the Maths. I think that if you've done GCSE Maths that it's pretty easy to follow MST124. I can't believe how good the study materials are. If you've done A Level Maths then you'll walk it.

I actually think the Maths is way easier than the Physics now.

A*? God, I feel old. I didn't have them in 'my day'. Which degree are you doing? I'm assuming Natural Sciences.

I'm doing MST124 as well in October. I'm on Unit 3. Unit 1 & 2 are straightforward GCSE and a bit of AS. Unit 3 introduces functions which I did in A2.

I'm going for mathematics and physics pathway but may change to just physics later on depending how I find each module I complete.
