The easiest subject to qualify in cie a levels.

[Zazzyo]

hi guys i know someone who needs help in choosing their a level subject. They have already given Urdu and got A in it but they need to give one more subject just to finish off their a levels.
They have appeared in islamiat psycology accounts and englishs literature but was unable to qualify even after rigorous self studies only :[... Now what option do they have? which subject to do u reckon would be the easist to qualify in .. not an A grade but just to qualify..
I suggested them maths as its only follows hard and fast rules for each question but they sed they are not the maths type... Then they thought about geography aswell but I dont think there are any geography tuitionz in karachi.. self studying would again be a mistake so this time they will take tuition for wat ever they appear in..

Please provide ur views about this.. and study guidelines... and your expetiences aswell.. and i forgot to mention great forum... Great to see pakistanis together in a forum dedicated to O and A lvls .. keep it up and i hope it stays up forever unlike the banned forums by cie :]

Geography at A level is not difficult. But it will make anyone almost crazy. No one book fulfills the requirement of the syllabus. There are case studies to remember, even whole diagrams to remember which will need to be drawn in every paper. So exclude that. I would suggest finding out that 'why' in that persons mind. Why didn't he/she able to get through. Only that will ensure any future success.
My recommendation.

Business Studies.

And on the whole its not about just studying too much. There are some skills that need to be induced no matter what. Knowledge of course is important but sadly won't get one through at A levels. Using that knowledge in the context of the paper on various situations, developing points, following the rubrics, command words, managing the time. Are all some of the crucial factors. So, keeping all that in mind try to look for a very good teacher. Who can make him/her focus on all aspects i.e make him/her think what is beyond the book! Otherwise it is going to be disastrous again.
Good luck though. And PM for any other help which i may not be able to offer here.

its easy!

 

[Zazzyo]

Oh thanks guyz.. so its B.S then i guess... nd u think they have enuf time to prepare till november this year? I mean for the whole AS + A2

 

[Zohaib Sherazi]

Yes. Provided they start right away. Use peter stimpson's book. Past papers, er, ms and there's a wonderful standards booklet as well on this site in Business Studies A level folder. That will show you how to write the answers.

 

[Zazzyo]

Oh k.. ill tell them right away

 

[princesszahra]

u guys feel maths is not easy????????

 

[Zohaib Sherazi]

It is. But if that particular person is not "maths like" then no. It is the most difficult thing.

 

[miracle]

my cousin told me tht most of maths topics are based on kinematics......
shes doing Alevel

 

[Zazzyo]

Not really only 1 or 2 questions are based on kinematics in the mechanics paper which i guess makes not more than 10 prcnt of the total Maths A lvls grade..

 

[Zohaib Sherazi]

^^True.

 

[pastyear]

Actually it is depends on a person's effort to the subject
If u put more efforts on a subjects even though it is hard but you may still manage to get good marks.

 

[Jazib]

i must say, depends on the individual's interest.
e.g 1 of my class fellow complains she find business study hard, n physics easy!
whereas the general opinion is that, b.s is 1 of the easier subjects of A level.
interst matters....

 

[zwitterion]

they shouldnt take a subject to just get an extra A, They should choose keeping in context what they intend to do ahead and yes ofcourse their interest is the crucial factor.
I would suggest English Language as that is considered the easiest one.
As and A level math can hardly be covered in 6 months. Its prettty demanding.

[zwitterion]

I want to inquire about psychology. Is it possible to cover the whole course, AS and A2 during the summer break and then give the paper in this november session and get an A? Could someone please assist me regarding the books I should use and other stuff please.

 

[mysha]

Yes. Provided they start right away. Use peter stimpson's book. Past papers, er, ms and there's a wonderful standards booklet as well on this site in Business Studies A level folder. That will show you how to write the answers.

@zwitterion:

Yes. Possible. But you'll need to be regular. Use Cardwell Clark Meldrum A2 book. S-cool notes and search the nearest old book shop for any other related material. Basically study in accordance with the past papers from day one. It cuts down time consumption by 50% and productivity in terms of result will go up by 50% too. Good Luck. And be ready to use the internet for anything you need more to know more specifically. It is the best source!
