Reference books for A-Level

[capablanca]

I think I have post this up but the reply is mediocre. I am currently taking A levels in the science subjects. Physics, Maths, Biology and Chemistry. The problem is that the textbooks do not have enough information for my needs. So, can anyone recommend some reference books that would be helpful to those taking a levels based on past experience. Also, some recommended books on further maths would be nice too because I am thinking of taking it. Just in case anyone wants to know, my a level examination is the cambridge As + a2 level.

Hmm... can cope with so many subjects?

Your subject combination is already giving you quite a load to handle. Adding further maths to the combination... not sure whether you can cope with that. Plus, if possible, for further math, you need a teacher to guide you so that you get a better understanding. If you want to apply to top UK universities, you only need 4 core subjects. It's advisable not to burden yourself with too many subjects and eventually getting not so decent results for all. Focusing on 4 subjects and getting great grades for the four would be good enough to get you into most good universities.

Just my two cents though.

For chemistry i would recommend a big blue book called A-Levels Chemistry. For now, i can't find a link for an image of the book yet. i'll put them up later if i can find it.

Anyways, i would suggest that you drop either biology or physics depending on what you want to take later on and then take Further Maths. If you are going into the engineering field, it's most important that you take further maths so that you won't face too much difficulties when you are in the university later on.

Best of luck to you there.

im doing a level in science too, my combinatiion subjects is bio, chemistry, physics n math...
i have photostated lotsa reference books bt they juz contain few info...
my bio lecturer recommended the as level biology (Longman), by phil bradfield, john dodds...bt i found it also the same, not enough info..
actually is the lecturer's notes enough for us?`do we need to study the TEXT BOOKS??

i will be taking foundation in engineering in CSM soon..the course structure encompasses physic, chemistry, engineering mathematics, Information Technology, Crictical Reading & Thinking Skills and malaysian studies...six subjects in total....are they sufficient for my undergraduate course?? :?:

Can anybody recommend some reference books for Cambridge A Level English Literature? What about Economics, History and Sociology? What good reference books are there out there for these subjects?

My dear, I'm sure you're a bright and hard working student but taking an extra F.Mathematics will only burden you. Your combination is good enough to get you into most science based courses and some art courses as well. Don't overdo it.

English Literature or Literature in English? Make it clear dude, they are two different subjects.

As for sociology, I would recommend Haralambos, it has everything you need to know for your Alvls syllabus.

Economics, you might want to try Allan Anderton..

LOL!!

Common sense wise..I'm not going to buy all of them. Even if I did so, how on earth could I finish reading all these books within one year?? :)

hello, hello...
im looking for chemistry, biology, physics reference books for cambridge a level...

[sonatinalai]

I wish to buy the A-level text:
Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change (4/e) by Martin Silberberg

I heard that it is released in 2004...but have not seen in bookstores.

[d3stinydanc3withm3]

hello, hello...
im looking for chemistry, biology, physics reference books for cambridge a level...

For Chemistry, get Step by Step by CS Toh and Thomas Cheong. Written by Malaysians for Malaysians

For Physics, Longman A lvls should be just fine.
Not sure about Bio though

[megatfais]

how much are those books usually?

[herm]

Any1 can recommend books for Edexcel A Level for Bio,Chem,Phy and Math..?

[vseehua]

I think your question had been answered a few hundred times in this thread already

[Aries]

Btw, i've heard that edexcel syllabus have changed from 2008 onwards. For the list of books, try searching for it at www.edexcel.org.uk...I'm nt sure bout cambridge a lvls but those of u who r interested, google it out at www.cie.org.uk. Juz my two cents

[Nicholasng925]

^Bump bump^

Hey all, since Edexcel A-Levels changed its syllabus two years ago, is there anyone who intending to sell their reference books this year, around Klang Valley? :) Preferably Maths, Further Maths, Economics, Accounting and Physics. Please post it up if you have any info. Thanks!
