Yes, the syllabus has changed, and now, Edexcel is no longer the 'easy' board anymore....

So it is be tougher....

But it depends on how much you study and who are your teachers...

I hope you'll do well, just study day by day and solve questions alot, you'll be on the safe side..
Edexcel board is not that easy, true. One of the schools I know, they had 85 students who were taking biology.. Only 2 got A's and 24 got U's!! But this is not something to stick on, if we practice alot we'll do good, hope so

My school doesn't provide English literature . So, I will study Biology and Chemistry Only .. I hope they allow 2 subjects

I really want to know how hard is Biology and chemistry , I heard it is really tough subject .

If we are to study 1 year of AS-level >> how many Times do we have to give Exam to the Ed excel ?? as i was told it will be divided
Title: Re: I AM NEW TO AS-LEVEL!
Post by: Nanavel on September 10, 2009, 11:25:00 pm
dammit , Family thinks i am not good for medicals ... I must Do ICT and business ... ahhhhhhhhh !
Title: Re: I AM NEW TO AS-LEVEL!
Post by: X Abdulrahman X on September 10, 2009, 11:59:01 pm
i dont think u can only do 2 subjects, unless u redo previous igcse subjects.
yea sciences are always harder than the rest, but it depends on how good u are ofcourse :P
i do IB and i do ICT and Business+Management, and its not that hard, im sure AS ICT and Business+Management wont be that hard too =]
it all depends on the amount of time u study, as boring as it looks u have to study even when u dont have homework, unlike the previous years where we just all slacked around :P

anyways gl =D

My school doesn't provide English literature which is the most thing i want . Here in Kuwait there is only 2 schools that Provide AS-levels >> BSK and Khaitan International School " ISCP " . BSK is really Expensive it is 3000 per and ISCP is 1000 per year .

The next option I had is Medicals , but again I never took PHYSICS before and family thinks I ain't suitable for Medicals . And chemistry and Biology are really hard .

The Third Option I have which i might regret in future is ICT and Business .. >> I am scared what if I am not good at them and they were even tougher .

My Goal is to become a Teacher .. Here  in Kuwait ICT is most demanding and there isnt enough teachers for it , but the thing is that in the school , the Highest grade a student took in ICT is "D" .. which really freaks me out .


Yes , my school Allows me to Take 2 subjects only and more If i want to . And i think it is good because it will give me more time to focus on them only .

You dont need a school to take a subject, take it privately. Register at the british council and take private lessons at house, this might work also
