Picking my As levels :]

[mangle]

At the moment im considering , philosophy , geography , economics and physics.

anyone taken those and know anything about the course , eg if its completely hard?

[Soka]

i jsut started as levels physics, economics, maths, accounts in september

i think they're all alright, but if you do physics i recommend you do maths aswell, or your good at maths

+ economics is like applied maths, so again you need to be good at maths and have a good understanding of things, basically if you read the paper/watch the news/take an interest in whats going on in the world, you should do well in this

theyre not hard though really tbh, because economics = 100% examinations, and two of the exams have 16 multiple choice qs.
physics = 33/% cwk, 66% exams

can't comment on other two

How can you only be picking now? We chose ours back in May, or are you planning for next year?

The only one I can comment on it Physics (I took: Psychology, Media Studies, Physics and Leisure Studies), same as soka's comment, its better to take maths becasue they go hand in hand, although one is more indepth and complex than the other with the equations (I can't remember which), but it really helps with the complex stuff in physics as you go through the course.

i do economics, not too bad if you've done business and that before, you need to keep up to date with the news and interest rates and all that crap but i wouldn't say you need to be that good at maths.

We were encouraged to do maths if we were doing physics, but to be honest i didn't at any stage during physics think "thank God i did maths".

I did Philosophy. You do some reading, critical thinking and discussing. That's the philosophy course sorted

They're all good, respected A levels - especially maths and physics - which work well together. Maths and physics would be the hardest, but that's from a general standpoint and they obviously wouldn't be hard to someone who's a rocket scientist.

I have a friend who would talk to the teacher about things at degree level during the lesson, so the rest of us are sitting there going, god, how does he know this and how the hell are we ment to understand it if he's going off describing it at a level we couldn't possibly understand yet :S
