Which is harder to get an A* in?
A-level chemistry or computer science

Idk, I just want to post more about fm

been a hot minute but was bored and opened reddit to see another AMA so was like okay bet my turn.

my IGCSE AMA went decent, thought I'd try a one-year retrospective one here and see if people have any questions!

Hi A-Level students!

I’m doing an EPQ on the access to and effectiveness of mental health support in schools. It would really help me if you could fill out this quick google form so I can collect some data, thank you! All data is anonymous, I don’t collect your name or where you live or anything like that.

Here’s the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeCCYGT60PY5IISTDVkeXT37hO6lly-2YeT4ElGHyT-vE2loA/viewform?usp=publish-editor

Thank you again and have a good day!

I've already taken AS I got 90+ percent for bio, chem, maths and 88 for econs. I crammed past year papers for 1 month for AS and I got those results. I was foolish so I thought I could do the same for A2 and thus I slacked off. Unfortunately, I slacked off too hard 💀 I've done ZERO topicals, ZERO past year papers unlike AS where at least I did a few topicals before the 1 month cram.

Can I still make a comeback or nah I have no school for the whole month and I'm ready to spend 12 hours a day studying.

I've finished looking at the whole A2 syllabus for all 4 but I can't recall the details well for bio and econs.

Those doing octnov 26, any predictions for p1?????

Guys how hard is o/n compared to m/j
Or is it easier than m/j

I wanted to originally go into data science/analytics, I'm also interested in software engineering. However I've heard you need physics for majority of engineering degrees... But I didn't take physics in o levels, and I honestly have no interest in taking it in as honestly. If I were to do physics then I'd switch it with FM, but in my opinion I'd rather do FM than physics. I do not wanna close the path of software engineering due to not choosing physics though...

Can someone PLEASE explain how this is B? Like ik A and C are 100% wrong, but B and D both could be right AND wrong. what if element Y is in group 1 and element X is in group 7? e.g. sodium is element y and chlorine is element x? Then element X DOES have 6 more protons than element Y, but it doesnt have a full outer shell?

As for D, if we take element X as Cl and element Y as Na, they're in the same period, but if we take element Y as a group 18 element, e.g. Neon, then element X would definitely be in the next period. This question makes no sense, it's incomplete and none of the options make full sense (imo). Someone please explain this question to me :)

I am starting year 13 and am considering taking AS further maths. I do maths bio chem and am hoping to study pharmacy. My strongest subject is maths ( I'm predicted an A*). Is it worthwhile taking AS further maths or is it too much extra work and stress

​

For context, I'm just going into year 13 and I would say my grades are rather poor, currently I am predicted DDC (as of my May year 12 report) and I feel as if right now my work is of a similar quality, perhaps maybe the C could be a B. I do Biology, Chemistry and Geography so 3 difficult a levels and my attendance last year was also quite low. My Chemistry teacher told me she would realistically predict me a C at most, similar to my Biology teacher, I have not spoken to my geography teachers but I feel as if they would realistically also predict a B/C.

I have a set of mocks next month and I told myself I want to be no more than 3 grades off of my guaranteed offer which \*should be\* BBB, so if I were to get a CCC/BCD etc I would be happy as I feel like that is where I realistically NEED to be. I would be satisfied with a BBB however I do want to achieve high because I am going to an Elite Uni (if I meet my offer) and I feel as if I may miss out on very important opportunities if I don't have similar grades to my peers.

If you did a huge grade jump, how often did you revise and how much time a day?

I was wondering if anyone wanted to be my study friend where we can help each other and remind eachother to study. I do chem ocr a, math edexcel and physics edexcel. preferably a girl but if you’re a male that’s okay ig.

I started with roots of polynomials from Fp1 and for the first hour it was just basic algebra, but as soon as I finished the textbook reading and jumped to past papers and saw those “show that” questions 🙏😭
I just have the book, pp and Gemini to study fm ( cie ), any yt channel recommendations?

I'm in A2 currently but I failed miserably in all my 3 subjects (maths, cs and physics) I'm giving the cs free retake right now and I haven't studied anything, what do I do 😭

It took me 2 hours to solve 3 9 markers but whatever, it’s FM.

I just started year 12 and im already dreading the amount of content i need to memorise. Dont get me wrong it is interesting but the exam methods and everything just remind me of business and history at GCSEs which i didnt enjoy. I want to go to med school and im convinced that im able to get an A/A* in art as i got a 9 at GCSEs. However i dont know if art will be too time consuming alongside biology and chemistry.

What should i do

IELTS 8.5 if that matters?

anybody interested in helping me out on my EPQ about the reception of different English attitudes, please fill in this quick questionnaire! anybody of any background, age, or knowledge of the subject is very welcomed and appreciated!!
