Memes arelife Hahaha well, trust me it gets better 😉 My brother's revising for his GCSEs at the moment and every time I see a chemistry or physics paper it's just like oh god I'd forgotten how awful this was 😂
I’m thinking of doing physics for a level but I’m confused between physics and music... yes they’re really different Maths Chem Geo and Physics at the moment, but I have a strong passion for music... so yeah, just looking at both sides of it... and W.H. ich one would be better for me... I’m glad to hear physics gets way more detailed and interesting🙃
@@annie4005 I took physics, it’s pretty intense in terms of needing to understand it to the fullest extent in order to do questions with some sort of ease
I really want to take physics as i love anything to do with space and the astrophysics side of things but I'm worried I'm gonna really struggle as I'm not very good at maths and I'm just so conflicted urghhh!
It'sHolly Do you watch the youtuber Simon Clark? (Currently doing a PhD in Theoretical Physics at Exeter) I don't know if you've seen, but he's said many times that Maths was his weakest subject all the way through school! If you don't like Maths, then I'd definitely say don't do Physics, but if you enjoy it but just don't think you're very good at it, that's definitely not necessarily a reason not to take it. I still think that (even at an undergrad level!), obviously some people are incredible at Maths and pick concepts up very quickly by working through only a few questions, while some (most of us) have to spend days before it clicks, but in the end, however "good" you naturally are, it's how much you practise that makes you "good" at Maths, and by extension also Physics 😊
I'm the same I picked physics because it went well with maths and further maths but it's ended up being my favourite and I actually find it a lot easier than maths because it gives a reason behind everything that makes it easier to remember. I want to do physics or a physics-related subject at university and I'm so glad I picked it. In all the subjects I picked there are not many girls and in Physics I am the only girl as well. Love your videos btw :)
Ellie Barran Beck That's so cool to find someone so similar! Great A level choices 😉 It's such a shame there are so few girls in Physics 😔 One of the reasons I started my channel was I wanted to show that girls can do Physics, and hopefully encourage more people to take it. I guess the only consolation for us is that hopefully people in the year's below us at school have seen us and seen it's all okay. Anyway I hope whatever degree you end up on is really fun, and good luck! 😃 (and thank you by the way! 💖)
thank you so so much!! im starting my alevels this year and im still debating which of sciences (bio chem phys) i wanted to take but since u've shared ur experience it kind of made me certain that i would possibly enjoy physics as i was really unsure before
I find GCSE physics okay but yeah, it can be quite boring. I’m unsure what I want as my third A Level (I’ve chosen A Level maths and computer science). But I think I like the sound of the stuff you mentioned like learning about the universe and that. That sounds great. So wish me luck in year 12 doing A Level Physics ay.
@@user-qp6ts2dp5g Eh not too great, I find it a lot harder than my other A levels (computing and maths). If I could I’d go back to myself when I posted that comment I’d say to take something else. There are some interesting parts of it though.
@@tolland4433 have u finished it now, and how was it overall? what other subject would u have wanted to change it to? And what was the hardest part of physics do u think? It's a lot of questions soz, but I just don't know if I should take physics or not
@@R0L0s Yeah I finished it like a year ago. It was definitely kinda difficult for me at some points but I always found it a very interesting subject once you do understand things, and obviously some parts I found a lot easier. In the end I managed to get a B which I was very pleased with, and because that grade was better than I expected I don’t really regret taking it now at all. If you aren’t sure if you want to take it I’d mainly go by how you found/are finding gcse physics as I think the range of styles of exam questions is similar. For me personally all the force diagrams and shit was the hardest, as there’s a fair amount of that. Unless you were really good at gcse physics I’d say it’s not an easy subject, but I still found it worthwhile. It’s also an a level that looks very good I think.
I'm going into Yr 11 next academic year and I have a problem where physics is my best science but I always get the lowest score out of all the sciences in my end of year exams. My estimated grade for my actual GCSEs lowered bc of this and idk if I will struggle way too much in physics a level
@@annie4005 hi! I'm in yr 13 now and although physics is my currently lowest grade, it's still an A and I didn't struggle as much compared to others. But I tend to pick up things and understand more quickly and remember more than others. I ended up getting a 9 in Physics at GCSE (I did get the lowest mark out of all my sciences though)
@@user-qp6ts2dp5g yr 13 content is definitely a lot harder and can take a while to digest and fully understand. yr 12 is a lot easier, just adding onto gcse knowledge. i personally don't think it's as hard as some people make it out to be, but again, I tend to pick up things more quickly, so take this with a pinch of salt.
I'm taking 4 alevels but have to drop one apparently.(Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology). Is it okay for uni that I drop maths and take all 3 sciences? I dislike maths out of all of those 4 but I also know how important the subject is. I find the sciences far more interesting, the theory side, and less so the mathematical side.
I’ve been doing AS physics for about a month now and I don’t understand a single thing, probably doesn’t help that my teacher doesn’t explain stuff very well and doesn’t convey the information in a way so that I can make notes on it
Sammi pmcs I guess it depends what parts you're finding tricky? I know ironically I was much better at A level Physics than GCSE Physics, and at uni Physics than A level Physics, just because there's less "writing" and wordy explaining questions, and more Maths. So if you find the Maths parts easier, you'd probably be good? Jen can probably give better advice though! 😉
This was me, I took physics, I wish I could say it turned around for me but it's different for everyone I guess. I think I do quite well at maths and compsci but idk why I just can't do physics no matter how much I try. Definitely handicapping me
i'm considering taking it. i think i'm probably more interested in stuff like particle physics than things like electricity or engineering, but i think the particle physics doesn't really come in till the second year - am i right on that? and anyone else that feels/felt similar, was the first year still fun?
Ok well I really like physics and find it super interesting but it's the worse of my 3 sciences at a 6 rn so I was scared to take it but after this I think Im going to take it so thankyou
Emma Fallon I think it was a mixture between people who found it comparatively easier than the GCSE because there was less writing / explaining in words (like me 😉), and people who found it harder because they just weren't expecting the amount of Maths. Honestly I don't think it deserves the rep it has for being "impossibly hard" - I know I personally found AS chemistry a lot harder, for example! - but I think that reputation comes from people taking it and expecting it to be "wordy" like the GCSE, and then not enjoying it and not putting much effort into it because of the amount of Maths. Could you maybe have a chat with your current Physics teacher and see how they think you'd find the A level / it as part of the IB?
i’m wondering if you can help, rn i’m taking igcse phy, bio, chem and math. i want to major in medicine! i’m really interested in bio. but i need to take AS level phy, bio and chem to get into the uni i want. do u recommend AS physics? as i’m more of a biology person 😆
Its been three weeks and I have not heard back from my dream six form and others have and all they have said is thanks for your application . I have applied for 3 others places but know where apply to me like this six from 💔💔💔💔
"It just is accept it" happens on biology mainly because the teacher doesn't like telling us stuff that isn't actually the truth he'll be like "its a lot more complicated but you don't need to know that"
German was the only non-STEM subject I took at AS / A level (my others were chemistry, maths, further maths and additional further maths) so was the only contrasting subject I could really compare it to - sorry! But I'm really glad you found it helpful 😊
Okay, the way she talks about all this stuff really makes me uncomfortable. HOW IS SHE SO HAPPY WITH SUCH HEAD-ACHING SUBJECTS? Part of me believes she is faking this, really. My A levels (including AS) are so brain-breaking. I think she just got good teachers or something. No way is Physics is easy or 'fun', don't take the risk of taking it unless you know how to deal with physics or if you believe that your teacher might be good at explaining it.
Project Human trust. I'm doing physics, chemistry and maths. Physics is easily the hardest A level, makes maths and chemistry so easy. I'm struggling in physics, any tips?
@@hawkeyedsentinel4648 To be honest, you should look up online adviser and even manage a tuition. Why? Because it's actually really helpful when you study alone, without any distractions AND with a person to guide you... Also because I'm a B student and you probably shouldn't be taking advice from me, but that's not that important.
Olivia Stobbie Not too much, unfortunately (there's kind of a little bit of everything, which is pretty cool) - on my exam board (OCR B) there was an A2 unit on "astrophysics" though. You can see more of the topics here 😊 en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/A-level_Physics_(Advancing_Physics)
Physics used to be my least favourite science but honestly now it's one of my favourites.Do you have to do maths along side it? I don't know if it's going to be tricky if I don't take maths along side it? 💗
Heyitsthetwins (First off, great choice in favourite science! 😉) You don't have to take Maths alongside Physics, but I think you'd be making life harder for yourself if you didn't. There's overlap between the Mechanics in Maths, and the Mechanics in Physics, so if you weren't taking Maths you'd have to do more work than those who were. There's also stuff like you don't need to be able to know how to differentiate / integrate for the Physics A level, but if you understand the concept of integration / differentiation / differential equations, it can make learning / understanding formulae a lot easier (but that only really comes up in the A2 year). If you're thinking about doing Physics at uni, you'll need the Maths A level, but if you're just kind of taking it "for fun", I think you'd be alright, it just might take a lot more work 😔 x
Are there any mature students at your uni?I did A levels when I was younger but i'm 27 now and don't want to be the only one in a class of 18 year olds xD
You are god and you know everything and you are the second coming of jesus jusy becaude you teccoommmend to people thatthet should take physics and thats the truest tging i ever heard in the life
I just finished my igcses and I want to take biology and physics as they are my favorites, but I really need some advice, I haven’t seen many people take biology and physics, they usually pair biology and chemistry. Any advise from anyone. I’d really appreciate itt
Honestly I’m struggling with deciding as well I absolutely love both of them but I found a UA-camr that did both and he’s helping with my decision his name is sen kath you should check him out it might help
hey , i hope im not Too late lol, but i think doing bio and physics together is perfectly fine, I take bio chem and physics and , it is tough ngl but its not impossible
I AGREE SO MUCH. IN SCIENCE GCSE THEY DON'T EXPLAIN HOW THINGS WORK, WE JUST HAVE TO LEARN IT AND REGURGITATE IT IN THE EXAM
