    Default A Level Maths

    Is anyone here doing it or has done it? I'm considering taking Maths as an A Level next year, I'm wondering on a scale of 1 to 10 how did you find it? 10 being amazing, 1 being terrible.
    I plan to do physics as well which apparently ties in with it

    Doing it currently. I consider myself a mathsy person and im finding it relatively fine. Found nothing particularly impossible so far although a couple of things can be a bit of a *****. If you're wondering or not whether you should take maths because of its difficulty, i strongly recommend not taking physics. One of the hardest things ive ever tried to learn. Although if you know for sure that your teachers are good i suppose its possible, however if they're average/crap, do not even consider taking physics.

    As long as you have some decent teachers for your subjects, you should be ok. More or less finished a level now, just waiting on the exams now. It's about a 7 I would say on a scale, and yes physics is an arse of a subject but if you're willing to put the work in, you should be alright!!

    Know a few people with terrible teachers. Got A's - A*'s at GCSE, but AS and A2 they're getting U's... and not even close to anything like E's. e.g. tests last week people were getting on avg. 12/72.
    All depends on teachers previous results and how comfortable you feel challenging them, if you don't understand anything. (Physics teachers are generally good where I am though).

    Best of luck

    superhappy.

    Two of my friends who were due to get A or A* in Maths at GCSE decided to do AS Maths. One of them dropped it within the first few weeks and the other is still there, but getting Cs and **. English is my forte so I wouldn't dream of taking Maths (I was glad to get rid of it! ) but I'm sure if it's definitely your thing then you'll be fine.

    Oh yeah, and the guy who still does Maths is also doing Physics but he's dropping it for A Level. Apparently it's reeeeeeeally hard.

    Yep, you should do A-level Maths. A-level physics is a bit of a joke though. It's done in a way that you don't need to be studying maths to be able to do it.
