A LEVEL (or) AS LEVEL

[UxaiR]

hi everybody .!
please recomend me what to do A level or AS level and why .!

 

[princesszahra]

AS and A levels at the same time.
This is because if u do A levels then AS will be like a piece of cake so u can score good!

 

[UxaiR]

yeah i know AS and A level is same but many of my fellows are saying that AS reduces BURDEN .!
so just confused bout that .!

 

[princesszahra]

It really does but there's no point of doing it with less experince and less practise!

 

[UxaiR]

so basically you are recommending for A level ?

 

[princesszahra]

Yes !
I mean AS and A levels in the same session!

total agreement wid zahra....
what r u gonna do of less burden if u get bad grades in AS??

 

[ashhadazam]

My school didnt allow us to do it one session =s !! Can tell you after my results whether it was good to give AS first

It's better to go for Complete A levels.
Firstly, the weightage of the papers is comparatively lower than AS level only. This benefits you.
Secondly, Concepts of As are revised in A2. Specially physics, chemistry. So it'll be better if you'll be knowing the As knowledge also.

Rather it would be a tension , and the fear will overcome u!

i m doin pres medical bt want to take maths as well so cn i do lyk dis for maths dat takin only AS maths

well it depends on ur own aptitude. if ur very good student, then it seriously doesnt matter if u give A level or AS.
But if ur avg/above avg student, then i say go for Maths n Physics (and any other subject u have, except chem) AS. dont ever think of giving AS of chemistry. good luck!

dont ever think of giving AS of chemistry

Mind telling us why is that?

 

[Jazib]

well... starting from practical, most of the time u get practicals which involve concepts which are in A2. so u increase ur chance of doing good if u have done A2 syllabus.
secondly u get approx 35% paper from the AS syllabus so, it means u have to study AS and A2 both while preparing for p4. n if ur doing so, there's no point left in giving AS.
btw, i took AS n A2 separately, n dats what i xperienced. some may disagree with me!

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH U JAZIB...
Nd now though i gave AS and A2 separately nd i got straight As in AS level but yet man chem was a big problem in A2 .. we have to do AS again :/ nd now after alvlz these entry tests :/ u have to study all that AS level again to prepare for entry tests .... so its much better if u do ALevels in one go... u have a sound grip on everything and everything is fresh in ur mind when u go for entry tests...

It's actually that A2 has As concepts repeated......Not that As has A2 concepts.

I mentioned that thing about practicals only! e.g i got a question asking rate equations last year in AS which i had to leave blank.
whereas it was a piece of cake for A2 students.
