AoWW Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 Yeah I got straight A's at AS Level too... Play nicely.
DB11 Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 congrats, hopefully i'll be able to keep it up though. Hopefully Are you dropping one or keeping all four?
DB11 Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 Play nicely. You can't tell tone over the internet. I should have put after it to show how things changed for me sorry.
Father Ted Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 Maths - A French - C Physics - D Chem - U How can you be proud of a U?
AoWW Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 You can't tell tone over the internet. I should have put after it to show how things changed for me sorry. S'ok, I wasn't planning on losing sleep over it, tbh.
ousefox Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 Hopefully Are you dropping one or keeping all four? undecided tbh, wouldn't know what to drop, but not sure if keeping all 4 will mean i won't do as well as if i just did 3..
ScouseFox Posted 18 August 2011 Posted 18 August 2011 How can you be proud of a U? Didn't say I was? And what's it to you? I'm dropping the U and I'm pretty pleased with the rest, if that's okay with you.
Brown Fox Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 Nottingham Trent, so still close to the KP haha. you off to uni as well? Yep got into Newcastle yesterday!!! So bleeding miles away from the KP! Still got a season ticket though and will be marching over to the ticket office to get my refund from an U22 ST to a student ST so I get about 150 odd back!
Dylan Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 Does anyone here do Further Mathematics? Starting college in a few weeks, and still unsure what to pick as my final option. Definitely doing Maths, Economics and History... and the last one will be out of- Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Further Maths, and PE as an outsider. Can anyone give me any advice? What's easier (if any)? Any help would be appreciated.

Absolutely quality nightlife up there from what I've heard. What you looking to study? Effing hell haha, one of the main reasons I went Nottingham was so I could still get a season ticket, only like 30 mins on the train. How long will it take you to get back from up there? Commitment!!
steveherbe Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 Anybody going to Bournemouth Uni? Son got ABD and just missed Reading, so he's off to the seaside for 3 years Env Sci.

If you really enjoy maths, do further maths, if you're not mad keen you'll struggle and chances are it won't be a lot of use to you anyway as you'll be put off a Maths degree. I did Chemistry and Biology, both are enjoyable if they stimulate your interest. I'd say Chem is harder material but the coursework in Biology is harder. Don't do PE unless you wanna do something with it or you really, really love it. As an aside, are you sure you wish to do Economics at A Level? You'd be better placed doing Maths, Further Maths and something else and doing an Economics degree that way.

Effing hell haha, one of the main reasons I went Nottingham was so I could still get a season ticket, only like 30 mins on the train. How long will it take you to get back from up there? Commitment!! Politics and you? And yeah the nightlife is meant to be incredible! It'll take 3 and a bit hours on the train probably. Obviously won't get to every home game but will try get to as many as I can. An ST basically gives me better value than buying on the door and especially because the Xmas period is always packed full of games I'll be back in Leicester for them! Also gives me a chance to go to a few more away days like Boro etc.

Wait until results day next week and then see if anything changes.
SemperEadem Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 Anyone heading to Sheffield Hallam this year? You will love it
Dylan Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 Definitely do 1 science Dylan! Physics is basically rearranging equations and maths anyway... Wait until results day next week and then see if anything changes. Only do additional science anyway at GCSE, not seperate single one's... and that's easy compared to what A Level Science would be (from what I've heard). If I do a science, it'll most likely be chemistry or physics as the plants/photosynthesis and human body stuff bores me.

You'd be better placed doing Maths, Further Maths and something else and doing an Economics degree that way. Well I've had family do Economics so think I'll have a lot of help there if needed, and it seems more interesting than other subjects. And if I remember right when researching Uni courses, you have to have an A Level in Economics (if available) to do it as a degree? And I'm not really 'passionate' about Maths but I'm good at it (without sounding too cocky), already got my A* as I took it in November. Found it really easy, but like I said, A Level's are supposed to be so much harder than GCSE's- so not sure if I'd find it as easy.
Nod.E Posted 19 August 2011 Posted 19 August 2011 This Term: 2,000 word essay on whether technology has politics or not, done. 4,000 word marketing report concerning the telecommunications market and recommendations to a chosen company, done. Still to come 40 minute presentation on whether technology has politics. 3 hour Marketing exam 2 hour Operations Management exam 2 hour Statistics exam 2 and a half hour exam on Management and Organisations (Module 1) 3 hour exams on Management and Organisations (Module 2) Kill me. Been a while since results, but all the same. I'm glad nobody killed me. First year students at Lancaster that aren't doing a dual degree have to choose two minor subject as well as their majoring subject. Marketing: 2:1 Management Science: 2:1 Management and Organisations: 2:2 Absolutely chuffed. In one exam I started learning the course the night before my exam. Didn't go to lectures. For the rest I started revising the day before, continuing right through the night and going in to my exams with no sleep. Laziness and hard work rolled in to one, really. I need to sort myself out next year. I won't get away with that again and if this is how I did with little effort I really ought to go out and try for a first. 2 years of hard work until I have a degree; a very small amount of time with respect to the rest of my life, really. Not worth fvcking up.
ousefox Posted 20 August 2011 Posted 20 August 2011 Well I've had family do Economics so think I'll have a lot of help there if needed, and it seems more interesting than other subjects. Have to disagree, find it sooo dull, especially revision for it, just my opinion though
Jiggers the Fox Posted 22 August 2011 Posted 22 August 2011 Found out this morning i've passed my first 2 ACCA Accounting papers (F4/F5) with a 72/73% pass! Chuffed to bits seeing as though i wasn't particularly confident going in or coming out of the exams!

That's changed since my A levels (06-08), all those courses like Economics, Psychology, Law, actively discouraged you from taking the A level because they felt it was a poor introduction to the subject and they'd sooner you'd stretched yourself by taking something like Maths, English or Science.
