I know how daunting it can be to think of your first day at college and where your studies will take you. You know what subjects you want to take but you still aren't certain. Or, you are 100% sure what subjects you wish to take but are afraid of regreting it later.

Either way, here is a thread dedicated to the AS students to-be. I know how disasterous it was having to mingle with different people and not be able to work on my own. I have completed my first year and in 8 days will begin my second year at college. Hey Presto! That was fast!

This is a thread for all you AS Students to-be to discuss any issues from: 'what are the most recommended subjects to be an astronaut?' to
'what is the unit for frequency?'

Don't feel that your life has become a nightmare since starting college - infact, this is your chance to shine!

All you have to remember is: do your best at college, dont waste time and leave the rest in God's Hands.

If you fail in your mocks, don't give up! I didn't and I'm still breathing.

So, feel free to ask any questions regarding life at college or questions regarding your course. I will mainly beable to help with:

Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Maths >> I've taken this on board so we'll do AS together

I am sure other br and sisters will help with the remaining subjects!

Wasalam
p.s: No offtopic or free posting
 
Assalamu alaikum

That's considerate of you, Jazakumullah Khair.

I might pop by if i ever need help for Biology. My other subjects are: English Literature, Sociology and Psychology.

:D

Will we be doing the same stuff as we did last year? Like if you had to leave college last year - will we be doing a similar syllabus?

I honestly don't know, right now. I'll find out by Tuesday, InshaAllah. Jazakumullah for the link though.

salam,

actually, it doesn't matter which specification, as long as it's AQA, you should be able to find past-papers for any subject for free on that website (http://www.aqa.org.uk)

for example, if you find out that you are taking Psychology Specification B, instead of A, then you would use this link instead:

http://www.aqa.org.uk/qual/gceasa/psyb_assess.html

I think the use of past-papers and mark-schemes is vital if you'd like to get an A in this subject, or any other 'written' subject for that matter.

Unfortunately, Edexcel do not give out their past-papers for free - you have to buy from them :|

salam,

I am so happy, today I recieved my home schooling folder for mathematics. I started the first exercise in the car and it seems okay. They seem to include a numer of Physics equations which is nice! Talking of Physics, I also picked my A2 Physics book (it was ordered). It is just as thick as the AS book. I can't wait to do some reading!

Can't wait to begin college!

Good luck to all.

wasalam
p.s: One of my booklets is about calculus. What is calculus defined in English?
 
JazakAllau Khair look forward to it.

I may need help with

Chemistry
Biology
and Human Biology.

MashaAllah this thread sounds great...JZK for it...
We have some support in our college so they would be of great help to me...

Howeva im not sure if this is regarded as freeposting, but I'd just like to quickly say what A Levels I chose...it's a really "wierd combination" as my tutor put it...

  1. Maths (Mechanical)
  2. English Literature
  3. Histroy
  4. 'N' Socialogy...
Since i'm doing maths...I might pop in here for abit...well thats if you dont mind...n ermmm..sorry for the interruption...but thumbs up to this thread...:D

:w:
 
salam Br jzcasejz,

Firstly, I am glad you find that this thread will be of use to you.InshAllah.

Secondly, you were not freeposting. Freeposting is when you post to the opposite and add things such as 'lol' to your posts. Basically, freeposting is fitnah and you were not doing that. I believe, you meant to say: offtopic. In which case, you were not offtopic either.
Thirdly,it is okay to mention what subjects you are studying as others who will read your post may need help with the same subjects you are studying and may wish to ask you.
Almost there, you mentioned you were studying mechanical mathematics. What board are you taking?

Finally, what is socialogy? I have heard of it so many times but I have no idea what its about. Care to share some facts!

Wasalam

p.s: Weird combination of subject choices? I don't think so.
 
:sl:

Maths board will be OCR...

N I first chose Media Studies which after a couple of days I was uncertain on..so just today I replaced with socialogy...as I remembered it from an induction day we had...
n sorry i can't completely provide a breakdown of what it involves but i remember the teacher saying it was a study of our society and the people that live in it...

I think sociology is the study of society, and how the society plays a major role in influencing a person. Whereas psychology is more linked to the mind. That's why they're both kind of linked together. wa Allaahu a'lam.

You're right. Sociology is the study of people in groups and although it does take into consideration the study of individuals, it looks at the bigger picture and concentrates on groups of people, how they act the way they do etc.

I had my first sociology class today. :)

I am taking EDEXCEL. It is said to be much easier than the other boards but I am finding it a bit of a challenge. I enjoy challenges!

I will begin college tomorrow.inshAllah. Oh yes, AS Students begin before the A2s.
Sister, how did the lesson go? Was it interesting? What was your fist lesson about? Most of all, what made you want to study sociology?

salam,

Topic: Mathematics

I read through my home schooling booklet and it states that C1 is non calculator. I am finding it difficult not using a calculator as we use it alot in Physics.

C1 = Evaluating formulae, simlpifying expressions and expanding brackets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

S = a(1-r 'to the N')
_______________

1-r

a= 3
r= 1/3
n=4

I don't know whwre to start with this question. The fraction sacres me and completely puts me off the question. Could someone kindly help?

jazakAllah

wasalam
