MoogleViper Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm going to resit C1 as well. I'm also considering taking 4 A levels next year (Maths, ICT, Biology and Business). Although i'm not really a fan of business it is sort of a back up if i fail any other. Also i'm thinking a business A level would be easier than an AS in Physics. Chuck, i'm also thinking of doing Computer Science aswell, but like you i don't know why Uni yet. I'll possibly be doing AS physics depending on the option blocks.

Chuck Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Nope, that's wrong, you keep the best score, if you did worse in the resit you keep the original etc Ive always been told otherwise I'll possibly be doing AS physics depending on the option blocks. Its bludy hard man... I got solid E's on all the modules... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the great Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 agreed, as physics was stupidly hard, my lecturer didnt like me. i once managed to work ut the answer to a set of questions, though my working out was entierly wrong. did i get a thumbs up for inventing an easyer way to do physics? no. i was met with him, hands on his head, asking what the point of my existence was.

Zell Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Physics isn't too hard if you're only taking it to AS, especially if you've done (or doing) some of the Maths Mechanics modules. A2 does step it up considerably though. Well, I got... English Language A2: A Media Studies A2: A Applied ICT A2: A General Studies A2: A Law A2: A Spanish A2: A I was pretty suprised but Yay me! Six? Insane, nice one. Though I do spot a few mickey mouse subjects (general studies ). Now the subjects I did - Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry - are the ultimate combination of awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done AS maths and will be doing A2 next year so I think Physics should be ok. And I'll only be taking it to AS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomJcg Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Ive always been told otherwise No doubt to stop you retaking :P I retook a computing exam and got a couple marks lower (32 instead of 34, both Fails lol) but i kept the 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 No doubt to stop you retaking :P Dom is indeed right. However, for remarks, at least in A-level summer exams, the second mark is the final one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 So if I did retake C1 and got a C or whatever they would still take my B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 So if I did retake C1 and got a C or whatever they would still take my B? They would indeed. If you need any help with any core maths, gimmie a shout on MSN, I'll be happy to help, if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 They would indeed. If you need any help with any core maths, gimmie a shout on MSN, I'll be happy to help, if you wish. You may be getting a shout from me then sometime this/next year. What usually happens is that i don't understand the work untill i start revision (or learning) 2 weeks before the exam.

Twozzok Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Ach, my mum is picking up my GCSE English result, I'll be on my way to Reading though, so I might have a shit weekend if it's below a C and I don't get into uni >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What usually happens is that i don't understand the work untill i start revision (or learning) 2 weeks before the exam. Go for it. I haven't done C1 in ages, but C3 and 4 are my speciallities, and when I did C2, a year ago, I got an A, so I must be pretty good. I'd have an A overall if it wasn't for that damned Mech 2 paper I didn't finish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
