Maths/Physics

[seeker_of_ilm]

Anyone else here study A/AS level maths or physics?

Do you also find them really tedious, repetitive subjects, that aren't accurate measures of ability, rather measure how much you've practiced?

[------]

I do A Level Maths - Kinda hard, kinda boring.

[sabreen]

Hey, yeah i do both! i luv maths and physics (should b in past tense)- this year (As) findin them difficult- how about u? when ar ur exams?

[------]

Oh. My. Allah. I hate both the subjects, and I'm only doing maths.

My exams start halfway through May. I got C1, C2, M1 for maths...and Mechanics Radioactivity, Electricity and thermal physics, and Medical Physics....as well as the practical exam

[------]

I have C1 resit on the same day as C2 :heated: :heated: :heated: :heated: :heated: :heated: :heated: :heated: :heated: :heated:

[seeker_of_ilm]

^ Ditto.........I got a C in C1.....so I gotta retake it, what about you?

Its gonna be tiring...two maths exams straight away

[Starseeker]

I dont want to do either of the subjects. Their just too hard for me.
I want to do biology Chemistry, Geography and English Lit/Lang. But i might change my mind derpending on my GCSE grades Inshallah i will do well!

[Sister_6038]

im doin maths c3 and c4 on same day and im doing c2 again and d2 again...maths maths i shouldnt have messed about...oh well learnt my lesson....oh gosh though i hate radians....grrrr...love algebra....partial fractions are top....also am loving erm erm differentation and intergration...i love maths but hate it too...

I would be jumping with joy if I even got an E.... :'(

Join the club......those darned Radians, I despise them. I enjoy sequences and factorising...especially long division in Algebra. I don't like any of the graph work or anything

[Sister_6038]

sis its all about practice im not even joking..in high school i went into my maths exam with NO revision because i spent two months beforehand practising on old papers and it got me an A alhamdulilah....just practice...if you need any help...i'll help you....understanding it is easy...but linking it to a question is sometimes a challenge specially on the big questions....its cool....sometimes

bro youre exactly like me i HATE graphs..grrr...i will tell you now invest in a graphical calculator they are the BEST!!! yeh i love long division...maths makes my head dizzy like i will just launch into the question make loads of mistakes check my answer go back to it and make sure ive done it right....its great....sometimes...factorising yep i love...though i hate sequences grrr...

How much harder does C3 and C4 get? Compared to the AS year?

And sequences.......they are real easy, and they're not mind blowing

lemme tell you c3 and c4 are solid so make sure you do well in the other module that you do....but its not too bad as theres lots more integration and differentation...just keep at it and practise looooads...:D:D:D

[mohakem]

As salamu alikum

I do both and i agree, particularly the Physics Practical. The amount of time given is so minimal its more of a "who can write and read fastest test" rather than a test of understanding.

Out of all of the maths modules ive done i really, really, really... disliked... S1. :vomit:

M1 was quite interesting, C4 is the hardest of the bunch.

I advise (it helps a lot myself ...) to spend the last 3-4 weeks doing as many past paper questions as possible. Make sure you've got model answers, and it really really can boost your exam grade. A lot of questions are quite repetitive. :brother:

Wa alikum salam

Physics practical....don't remind me...I got it on May 16th or 17th. My physics teacher told me that it traditionally has a very high pass rate.

And also the maths practice questions thing...I'll try that Inshallah

[Muslimaatan]

heeyyyyyyyyyy!! we talkin about math here!! OMG..I looooooooooove MATH!! all my class HATES it!! i dunno y i like it, or LOVE IT..i was born 2 love it!! i dunno im just alwayz soo interested 2 sole problems, and when i KNOW how 2 do it, it feels sooooooooo GOOD..im like alwayz gettin 100z in math!! itz da easiest subject!! riite now we reviewin 4 math B..i already took the regents..it was easy!! almost every1 failed though!! math rocks!! (don care wat u think!!) loolzz..:-D

[Hussein radi]

Lol it is almost May now and the only class i am failing is Alegbra 3-4. Man it is so hard and confusing. Something with Sin,cos,tan,cot.

Maths and physics r the eaziest subjects for me and I love them.
Trignometry and algebra r also eazy brother. Try to understand them .once u understand the basic the rest is eazy. May Allah help u.

what does the C stand for..when i was doing AL we had just pure maths, mechanics and statistics..i loved P1 and P2, and M1-3...and A2 physics was lots of fun..loved it..(nostalgic.)

c is just core its the main modules for maths

[seeker_of_ilm]

Had maths today, we were covering Circles......they are too easy. Its very basic stuff

ive forgotten almost about circles...erm its all about pi i guess we did it in maths for core 3 as part of the volume section...grr i hate radians!! havent you finished your modules yet?

[seeker_of_ilm]

No it wasn't the radian bit....I hate the radians...it was the thing where you work out co-ordinates of the centre of the circle and stuff

Yeah we haven't finished our modules yet, we still gotta finish Circles, and then a bit about sequences

cool...gosh im having to revise all this for my c2 resit..inshaAllah hope i can manage it all....oh yeh i got erm well not as well i was expecting...erm didnt get a D or below in my AS....lololol i got a C shouldve revised more...my bad

C2 Resits should be easy for you....as you have covered C3 and C4 now. 'Cos I'm finding C1 work a piece of cake now that I've done C2. The only thing in maths I'll really have to revise for is my M1 module......especially vectors :hiding:

Seems like I'm going to have to do a lot of past papers in the next few weeks.....

[seeker_of_ilm]

What I found with A-level maths is that in order to do well in exams ALL you need to do is PRACTICE, and I don't mean the exercises from books etc, but the real deal, the past papers...trust me you will notice a pattern in the style of questions that are asked.

Yeah I realise that now, I didn't do any revision for C1 module, or any past papers...but I still got a C (1 mark off a B) but I am sure if I did past papers, I would have done a lot better. Well I've learnt from my mistake.

Does anybody else get given the solomon press practice papers? They are waaay harder then the exam board papers

[mbaig]

A'salaam alaykum ,

I find both Maths and Physics boring. I love chemistry.

yeh kinda but theres part of c2 ive forgotten erm vectors are cool i didnt do mechanics did decision so much more easier bro

yeaaaaaaaah!! i hated this topic!! but u just gotta read about it, and do examples..it will become easy...Inshaa'Allah!

[Hamba Allah]

I take additional maths and physics at school. But my results are always bad and I mean real bad. I never really understood Add Maths. As for physics, I say even though if you don't like it, you must like it because if you don't listen to what your teacher says then you'll definitely won't learn anything.

[seeker_of_ilm]

:sl:

Well I've decided I'll start revision for Maths and Physics tomorrow. What is the best way to revise for them? Just past papers?

:w:

[Hamba Allah]

For maths, you have to do a lot of practise and I mean a lot. At least 10 questions a day. Yes going through past papers is a good idea considering every year the same question comes out but they just change the numbers ofcourse.

[muzna]

i wish i could do AL again...:(

im doin computer engineering .. you wouldn't appreciate physics nd math unless u study engineering.. u'd find urself using them in almost everytnig you take

i like physics more tho, its more fun than math

[lolwatever]

math is fun, you just gotta master your basics and all should be fine
one tip.. if ur in the middle of a chapter and ur lost.. you will never understand it... if and only if you start from the very beginning and work your way up again

math is one of those subjects... every info that preceeds the one before it is critical to understand what follows it...

[seeker_of_ilm]

:sl:

Got a Physics Mock Exam tomorrow. Medical Physics. Not revised yet, inshallah get half an hour done in the morning before I head off.

Anyone else do Medical Physics option? Any tips?

[lolwatever]

so you do IB? coz med physics is an option in IB..
if so, then my advise is stick closely to the syllabus, dont learn fluff, follow the syllabus objective by objective and form summaries based on that

so for xample take objective H.2.1 and write a summary about that objective, and make u understand its requirements fully and entirely... IB study guides are extremely helpful, get your hand on te IBOSC study guide (Oxford Press)..
all the best

I love maths and i find it really interesting, however i've got lots 2 catch up with coz i went on holiday. Otherwise it's fine. I'm repeating C1 from jan coz i didn't revise at all and i got a C (plus it was eid!)

I'm also taking C1 again...and I also got a C the first time round. Which was quite good...considering...I missed 2 weeks, didn't revise or do any homework.

But now C1 is looking easier now that we've been through C2 stuff

[Khoza]

Im doing A2 maths, phys and chem.
I have to say that maths is the most enjoyable plus you needs some good maths for parts of A level physics. Ooo that reminds me i got c1 resit on monday with the first years.

Maths is just practise therefore do loadz of q's and same for physics, but past papers are the best way of learning do tonnes of these. Read over your notes and test yourself continually. And last but not least prayer to Allah with a pure heart that he'll give you the motivation to succeed.:thumbs_up
Speaking of revising i better get off soon. Good luck

Well my parents wanted me to do medicine but i wanted to do something i enjoy and i enjoy maths but now at uni that is debatable:giggling: , maths degree can lead to a range of careers from banking to computing etc and it provides one with a whole range of skills since its not some easy subject.

interesting all the best :D the worst of all math majors is statistics :vomit:

i guess its important ppl do what they like coz they're more likely to b successful in it inshalah.
