HOW TO GET AN A * IN MATHS A LEVEL | Revision Advice, 10 Essential Tips, Resources + My Experience!

[@cherrycolagames3187]

I have huge respect for anyone that does A- level maths ✊

[@bigup2you]

A level Physics is MUCH harder for me. The content is more, the complexity is more & even as an A level Maths student myself, the maths in A level Physics is still harder.

[@cherrycolagames3187]

@@bigup2you Omg...I used to do A-level Physics myself and dropped it. I know how hard it was for me because it was maths based, I feel sorry for you... doing both seems like a nightmare....

I use to get bad grades in maths in year 10 and once year 11 started but before year 11 ended I started getting 70-80 % and on my mocks I got grade 6 and now I’m wondering if i will manage with maths alevel :( I’m scared

[@oliviachillingworth201]

same! ive never been naturally good at maths, but i worked hard to get my grade up after i got a 6 in my mock. im still worried because i have to put in sm effort to even be average at it thoo

Hi, I just wanted to know if you HAVE to take A level maths as an a level to do medicine. Thanks ☺️

[@annarebecca]

No you don’t, not at all! Biology and chemistry are helpful but maths is really not needed. I would always take a 3rd a level you enjoy and are good at. x

[@rcheese3094]

@@annarebecca I’m in such a weird situation because every you tuber says you don’t need a level maths and that you should take a subject you like and in my case that’s PE, however the head of chemistry at my school has said that it’s essential to take maths and not taking it would be a huge disadvantage if you want to do medicine. Do you think I should take maths to do medicine even if I don’t like it?

[@Fatima-ew9oz]

@@rcheese3094 honestly math isnt required to get into medicine and if you think about it, you never really need it. ive heard so many people say that physics and math virtually useless for medicine. go with PE and do something you enjoy!

[@rcheese3094]

@@Fatima-ew9oz thank you and I’d love to do that but I can already see my head of Chem/ medic tutor telling me that I would have an extremely low chance of getting selected

[@mollyshackleton7760]

Do you recommend the cgp guides over the Pearson guides? I’ve just finished AS and am struggling

[@annarebecca]

Ive personally nerve used the Pearson guides and have always loved the CGP guides for getting everything you need in a simple way!

Is it possible to not choose a level maths? I really don’t like maths and I had really hard time with as level maths

[@annarebecca]

OF COURSE!!! I look back and sometimes wish I didn’t take it. 😂 you really really don’t need it, its a good a level but if your struggling or don’t like it then I wouldn’t you don’t need it for medicine you only need biology and chemistry and then a third one you ENJOY!

[@SelfImprovement1111]

@@annarebecca chemistry is way harder than maths. I studied the A2 content in 2 weeks. I don’t recommend it but no choice. Practice is the best for maths.

[@saraa.l.g3259]

Hi anna Do you think if you weren't good at gcse do you think you can do it at a level and get an A?

[@annarebecca]

I think it depends why you weren’t good, If you didn’t try super hard or didn’t really take the time to understand it then definitely if you work hard a a level. But if you really struggled to understand the GCSE content, then i think it would be really hard to get an A at a level as they are a lot harder then GCSE’s. I hope this helps let me know if you have any more questions x

I learnt my igcse in combine science within a week and a half so I’m sure you’ll do fine. I got 6 and 6 which is pretty rubbish for me.

Is it possible to do maths a level in 3 months because school has recently kicked me out I’m year 12

@@annarebecca I'm doing online school, and the rate at what I'm learning is much faster than the rate at which I can ask questions and have them explained, so it's very tough, a big emotional rollercoster having to reinvent Math rules sometimes, but I've made it thus far.

why do people do medicine? who enjoys sitting in a boring dull room a GF looking at peoples dirty infections and dealing with old people with pain. no offence. like what incentive do people have for medicine other than the money?

[@norman.1200]

You do know that there are so many different types of medical doctors and barely any of them involve sitting in a “dull room” and looking at dirty infections. Surgeons exist, radiologists exist, pathologists exist, EM doctors exist. If you don’t find it appealing, doesn’t mean others will
