I have little to almost no practice can anybody guide me what should i do rn? I memorized most formulas 80-90% i would say. My target is 30-40 marks definitions give me around 7-10 marks what should i do i am so worried….

For some context I just started chapter 2 in my textbook so I can’t really speak for the later chapters.

Anyway, I have noticed that the textbook kinda of sucks. Like I don’t mean that it’s bad or anything but half the time they just strip away the deeper mathematical concepts and stuff and just give us with a step by step shortcut that works well for a specific situation but is inefficient everywhere else.

Now obviously they shouldn’t go too deep into the math, but the level of simplifying that they do is too far. And it’s not like the shortcuts are all the good either. For example, in chapter one they teach modulus functions and and give a set of steps to find the answers but that introduces fake answers and need to be double checked and that is fine but they don’t explain why there are fake values.

Now I understand that these textbooks are made for a massive audience so they have to do this, and that’s fine. Except that they don’t even tell us what concepts the shortcuts were derived from, like just a little note in the corner would be enough.

I feel like I’m wasting so much time every page wondering, is this the shortcut or an actual concept.

Does anyone have a list for each chapter of everything they derived and from what or maybe a book that aligns Cambridge syllabus and gives mathematical depth.

Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Are there distinctions for AS level? And when are they announced?

Also for maths alevels 9709 (p1 and s1) combination whats the highest marks you guys have heard of (this year)

guysssss pakistans situation as we all is not good Peshawar is closed due to protest of pti n shii.is todays ppr in peshawar cancelled???? n wb next i m so scared guyss??? specifically for islamabad

hey guys i did it nov25 and June26 and got a D on both occasions. i badly need a C in physics A level and exams is tmr. any last minute tips plssss

anyone else have mechanics and cs p2 right after each other? how are u guys revising im so worried lmao

guys i wanted to ask if we have scholarship in A2 so does that continue the whole year without any condition or is there a chance they’ll cancel it if my attendance or test results are low? like are they strict about it? anyone who studied or studies at bcp pls reply

Hey everyone. I’m currently in Year 12 studying AQA A-level Geography, and I’m aiming to achieve an A. I’m still fairly early into the course, so I’m trying to figure out the best way to study and revise from the beginning rather than leaving everything until Year 13.

For those who have completed A-level Geography, what resources and revision methods helped you most?

What exam techniques made the biggest difference for you, and what mistakes do you wish you’d avoided in Year 12?

Any resources, tips or things you wish you’d known from the start would really be appreciated

I got fried 💔🥲

Hii, I have another question about switching from IB to A Levels and would really appreciate some advice from people who’ve actually done A Levels.

I’ve done IB MYP + DP1, and one thing I’m really used to with IB is having a LOT of assignments 😭 — formative/summative work, presentations, coursework, essays, etc. At my previous school, a lot of these assignments actually counted towards our semester grades.

So I’m wondering, how does this work with A Levels?

I’ve heard people say A Levels are easier than IB because most of your actual final grade comes from the final exams, whereas during the year you don’t have any summative assignments that directly contribute to your final grade.
Is that actually true?

Like, throughout a normal A-Level year, how much coursework / assessed work / assignments / presentations would I realistically have?

Are there lots of summative assignments throughout the year, or is it mainly:

learn content → practice questions → mocks (ungraded)→ final exams?

Thanks so much!

so after having one hell of an exam in P1, i realized that i'm even more underprepared for Mechanics.

please suggest any notes, youtube playlists or practice questions, since i'm especially bad at mechanics

also, how should i even start preparing?
