Maths ~ Depends on course really. But its the most academic one you have so keep it too A2. Its got some challenging concepts and you need to remember a lot of ways to do things but overall its a great A level! good luck

[dirrty]

pick your alevels in relation to what you wanna do at uni - if you're going uni anyway imo.

ah yeah im actually looking foward to maths

and lmao i have no idea what i would want to do if i were to go to uni!

[dirrty]

well then i'd pick things you want to enjoy.

[Josh-H]

I do maths, I assure you you'll find it mind boggling for a couple months then settle into it and get your head round it. Give it chance.

[Kardan]

I'm doing Maths at the moment, and it seems really complicated at first but eventually it all makes sense :)

[Immenseman]

Out of those four I'm currently doing History but that's because it's my favourite subject. Yeah, sure it's academic - a lot of reading and essay writing. However, it's my favourite subject atm and if you have a good teacher you'll do well. Although, I'm probably heavily biased as I want to study it at University, I think.

[Throne Sofa]

It's an interesting choice as they're four pretty different subjects, but also quite a balanced choice. I do Media, and to be honest it's relatively easy, you won't have any concerns over it.

sally, you'll love maths!(it's joe aka sloppeh) it's pretty challenging but once you've got yer head round it, it's fine! i just had a mock exam after loads of revision and it was piss easy!!

i dno about the others as i'm doing a btec ND graphic design course alongside it, so i wouldn't have a clue!

[Throne Sofa]

Wouldn't say it's a complete doss, the coursework process is challenging, it's just the exam that's quite a bit easier than other subjects.

yeaheyeah i get, what coursework did you do for it? i really don't know much about the course. would you say theres chance for photography in what you did, because i had to pick between the two and i picked media coz i fort it could get some photography in there!

[redtom]

Is this (http://www.yale-wrexham.co.uk/courses_detail.php?CourseID=472&Keywords=&PID=1&CID=&page=3) the media course you've taken? because I've applyed to take that. (obv not at that collage but is that the same course)

ah i think it might be, ill check that its OCR but im pretty sure it is :P

[Charlottay!]

im takin Maths, Futher Maths, media and P.E

does any1 do further maths or am i just insane?

cant wait to do it though. C1 maths is dead easy though.

this summer is gonna be well weird though as i have to redo my gcse exam (3rd time to get an A*) then sit my C1 paper right after.

Not really. I'd only recommend further maths if you really enjoy maths and or want to do maths/a maths related course at uni. I'm doing A-level maths and AS further maths at the moment (we call it maths and a half). C1 is basically just GCSE maths with a bit of simple calculus. I did a C1 paper in Year 11 as well and got a C in it after around 8 hours of C1 lessons.

I'm doing Maths and History AS Level.

Maths I am struggling with but it isn't too hard if you are good at that type of thing.

History is great :)

I recommend both really but maths can be tricky.

[Janeisntpleased]

i'd only suggest you take maths if you're naturally gifted at it.

ie. if you're only getting good grades cos you work really hard, probably not the best option. a lot of people find the core modules tricky, and if you can't get your head round it you're gonna get a crap grade.

[JackBuddy]

ah yeah im actually looking foward to maths

and lmao i have no idea what i would want to do if i were to go to uni!
I tried to pick a variety of subjects that I knew i'd enjoy. (was wrong with psychology though).

[clueless]

thanks for the advice guys

im probably going to the brit school to do a btec in visual arts now ;[ but im still doing maths on the side, definatly AS maths anyway! so sorry history and media :[
but thanks for advice ye!
and eek further maths ha that must be tricky

and i think i am, i dont really put effort into maths and i get like A's
obviously next year ill have to put effort in tho!

[Bevvie]

Nice mixture of subjects there Sally.
Yeah do art. Maths i dont know.
Art takes a lot of time though and think to yourself if you could cope with it?
