Yup I have. 74 days left now until papers begin.
I am doing Physics right now, and its going great. Early chapters have been rattafied. Only Op-Amp and magnetism one is left.

Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon't!!!!! I have a friend with 5A's so far. He had further maths but he dropped it because NONE of the universities required it and NONE of the further math course would help him in his field. I'd vote no. Not to mention how f*cking hard it is.
For Maths, if you're doing GCE Edexcel get Heinemann books, the're amazing. The original ones even have CDs with worked out solutions to each and every question, or if you don't buy original you can always get the live texts from torrents along with the solutions.
For Science subjects try to read the official books from start to finish; helps a lot. Past papers help too.

if you take Further Math;
+Math a level will seem easier, because of what you will study at FP. Especially the core modules.
+additional a levels are always good if you're applying abroad
+If you will sit for entry tests in Pakistan, you will notice that most entry tests will contain a lot of material from Fsc Math, and a lot of that stuff isn't taught at a level Math because they have to make room for mechanics and Statistics modules. But an Fsc syllabus will have some FP Math topics because they don't take any Mechanics and stat topics.
-FP Math is very hard. Nobody requires it in Pakistan and most universities abroad are fine with 3 a levels, except for the very best that are looking for a*s or 4 a's like Imperial or Oxford
-You wont be able to focus as much on your other courses.

Considering you're an Aitchisonian too, and seeing the level of teachers there (most recently encountered a person who couldn't even solve O Level Math past papers. And I'm serious), I'd better not take it.
Wow, leave it to you guys to discourage someone <_<
Getting a decent grade in further maths isn't impossible, it isn't a math course from outer space that humans can't do. It's something designed for A level students, even though it may be a bit hard. My advice is that if you get a good grade in O level add maths and want to take on a challenge, then you should definitely go for it! (I would have opted for it if I hadn't selected computing as a 4th subject).
I have quite a few friends who're studying FM. They do say it's hard, but again as I said, with enough practice it certainly isn't impossible.

hello iam giving as level computing can anyone help me by providing some good notes i will happy to pay for them!!
A Levels Chemistry is constantly a Pain in the a**.
How does any of you do it?
I got an A in the AI school finals but a D in the December exams.
Mocks Next week.

A2 chemistry is a piece of shit.
Every question you attempt, in the marking scheme the answer is different. Thats why I have put focus on Physics and Maths first. Will do Chemistry piece of shit at the end. Completed Physics completely apart from Op-Amp chapter. Have started Stats. Have completed 6 chapters along with making their notes. Will start the remaining 3 chapters in 2 days.

This site will help u in everything regarding Computing. If u need any more help regarding some specific topic, do post here.
Use the new Physics coursebook or International A/As physics

Necrokiller:
Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
