Why you should take A-level Physics from AliceDoesPhysics. Advice on picking A-levels #11

I want to help you achieve the grades you (and I) know you are capable of; these grades are the stepping stone to your future. Even if you don't want to study science or maths further, the grades you get now will open doors in the future.

Disclaimer; You should not carry out any of these practical’s without carrying out a full risk assessment of your own first.

I am human, and I make mistakes, please point out any that you find and there is no need to follow that with a load of abuse.

I AGREE SO MUCH. IN SCIENCE GCSE THEY DON'T EXPLAIN HOW THINGS WORK, WE JUST HAVE TO LEARN IT AND REGURGITATE IT IN THE EXAM

[itsholly]

I really want to take physics as i love anything to do with space and the astrophysics side of things but I'm worried I'm gonna really struggle as I'm not very good at maths and I'm just so conflicted urghhh!

[smeareka]

i'm doing (almost done) with AS physics

when we did particle physics i squealed every other second because everything was (AND IS) so damn cool

[dominicwhitaker]

I have to hand it to you, you are pumping out so much content!

[elliebarranbeck]

I'm the same I picked physics because it went well with maths and further maths but it's ended up being my favourite and I actually find it a lot easier than maths because it gives a reason behind everything that makes it easier to remember. I want to do physics or a physics-related subject at university and I'm so glad I picked it. In all the subjects I picked there are not many girls and in Physics I am the only girl as well. Love your videos btw :)

thank you so so much!! im starting my alevels this year and im still debating which of sciences (bio chem phys) i wanted to take but since u've shared ur experience it kind of made me certain that i would possibly enjoy physics as i was really unsure before

[sophiegoldberg]

Thank u so much for the reassurance I was really stressing whether physics was for me

I'm taking 4 alevels but have to drop one apparently.(Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology). Is it okay for uni that I drop maths and take all 3 sciences? I dislike maths out of all of those 4 but I also know how important the subject is. I find the sciences far more interesting, the theory side, and less so the mathematical side.

[tolland]

I find GCSE physics okay but yeah, it can be quite boring. I’m unsure what I want as my third A Level (I’ve chosen A Level maths and computer science). But I think I like the sound of the stuff you mentioned like learning about the universe and that. That sounds great. So wish me luck in year 12 doing A Level Physics ay.

I'm going into Yr 11 next academic year and I have a problem where physics is my best science but I always get the lowest score out of all the sciences in my end of year exams. My estimated grade for my actual GCSEs lowered bc of this and idk if I will struggle way too much in physics a level

[charliecukrowski]

I’ve been doing AS physics for about a month now and I don’t understand a single thing, probably doesn’t help that my teacher doesn’t explain stuff very well and doesn’t convey the information in a way so that I can make notes on it

[RishikaSinghthetraveler]

Yess both my favourite youtubers .. love you both xx

[beckw]

What if I reallyyy want to take the subject but I'm utterly useless no matter how much I revise?

[justcole]

Ok well I really like physics and find it super interesting but it's the worse of my 3 sciences at a 6 rn so I was scared to take it but after this I think Im going to take it so thankyou

[Jbbbb-ks]

i'm considering taking it. i think i'm probably more interested in stuff like particle physics than things like electricity or engineering, but i think the particle physics doesn't really come in till the second year - am i right on that? and anyone else that feels/felt similar, was the first year still fun?

[christinakyriakakos]

Thank you so much this video was really helpful <3

[rhianut]

"It just is accept it" happens on biology mainly because the teacher doesn't like telling us stuff that isn't actually the truth he'll be like "its a lot more complicated but you don't need to know that"

[annabellerobinson]

Its been three weeks and I have not heard back from my dream six form and others have and all they have said is thanks for your application . I have applied for 3 others places but know where apply to me like this six from 💔💔💔💔

[emmafallon]

I would like to do physics at a level or in IB but I've always thought it would be way too hard - how did people find it in your class ?

[yvettefadahunsi]

I absolutely hatttteee physics. I'm doing it now in year 9 and just ugh
