Biology AS or A2? (urgent)
Malak:
Okay, I decided to finish the edexcel AS biology course this summer. I thought i could do it but unfortunately i couldn't finish all of it *its a long course*.
Now, I need some advice from people who have done Edexcel A-level biology.
School is starting after few days and I need to decide if I should only do AS and forget the A2 or should I start with my A2 and continue with my AS as it is. Is that sensible? I asked a few other people and they said that both are related so it will be difficult to do A2 without properly finishing the AS part.
My university requirements will be fulfilled even if I do only AS biology but the reason why I thought of doing it as an a-level was that A-level means a lot more than just AS and it will make my chances of getting into uni higher.
Suggestions?
Amelia:
I did CIE, not Edexcel but anyway.
I suggest, you complete your AS Level first and than A2. As is the baseand A2 is the difficult level where you learn the huge chapters (Brain, Kidney, Nervous system etc...) Edexcel students have the advantage of having their 'Paper 3' as 'Alternative to Practicals' where they dont actually have to do the experiments. Plus, they have no such thing as 'Applications' in A2.
If you cannot do A level in one year, then you can do only AS. University classes will complete the rest.
Biology, though lengthy, is not a difficult subject. It requires dedication, that's all.

I actually dont have a lot of time.
I cant wait for my AS to finish and then start A2 cause i'll be starting A2 with school i.e. after few days. Its either that I start A2 and continue with my AS or dont do A2 at all.
Yes, I agree, it lengthy but not that difficult.
Thanks :D
Amelia:
Don't do A2 at all, then. ;)
Welcomee'0. :D
Romeesa-Chan:
My suggestion will be do whole A2 as it's related to AS part. But, if you feel your time is limited then stick to AS alone.
If confused then just do Istikhara. ;)
