Should I start my as level early in vacations before school starts

[covert bloom]

yesss

ofc

[green sandal]

No need really
Just revise what you took during IGCSE (only the subjects you're taking to A-levels)
Trust me, in sixth form you're gonna have so much time and so little to do
Most people spend their frees doing other things, but the trick is to study everyday

[native adder]

Are you studying in the UK?

[rotund stirrup]

Mhm

[dense burrow]

hi! im not currently studying A levels yet, but i was wondering if i could get anyones opinions on A Level Maths as someone who didnt take Additional Maths for IGCSE’s, do you think its possible to cope?

[woeful mantle]

Ty

[distant robin]

Gave +1 rep to ames2440!

[covert bloom]

yes its very possible, i didnt take add maths either and its totally possible

80% of ppl do AL maths without doing add math in igcse

[valid swallow]

yes very possible

[golden shell]

HI guys
I just wanted to know if i can take arts and design in A levels when i havent taken in my AS levels??

[dense burrow]

@valid swallow @covert bloom thank you! im just worried because i really want to pursue the stem path and im already taking bio & chem, im just worried ill start struggling trying to learn maths for A levels

Need some help guys.
Does anyone know if there’s a list of A level subjects that can’t be done privately? If anyone has one pls share it

[ashen crow]

Guys

In dubai is the paper variant 1 which is same as Saudi arabia ?

[thorny sparrow]

I think you will have to give like a composite, both AS and A2 combined for it

[lean ingot]

Not sure but there's a 1 hour time zone dif so...

[thorny sparrow]

i think its V2 in dubai as well

[thorny sparrow]

yep V2

zone 4

[dry trout]

Maybe science subjects as you will need to do practical. But i believe all subjects can be done privately

It’s just it’s gonna be difficult to do with science subjects

[thorny sparrow]

Arts requires coursework so that needs to be done from school as they need your portfolio

[plucky crescent]

Are you struggling with Accounts, Chemistry, or Math? Look no further! I'm an accomplished academic achiever, having secured the distinction of being at top position in one of my 10th-grade caies across Pakistan. But what truly sets me apart is my passion for sharing knowledge and helping others succeed.
Drawing from my own experiences, I understand the challenges you face and have developed an unparalleled ability to break down complex concepts into easily understandable components.
I can't guarantee success and spread rumors that I am best. But but but I know the best way to make one prepare and drumroll....I have met the toppers of all subjects in the world!!!! So I know all the tips that are important for your caie. I will try to be as affordable as possible seeing that everyone is facing economic crisis.

I wanted to know that, " Is Chemistry needed in A Levels to do any Bachelors of Engineering ?? or just Maths and Physics will do??

Also which is easier to get highest marks in exams, Edexcel A Levels or CAIE A Levels??

[golden shell]

ohh okiee

[valid swallow]

yes u need chem for engineering for most if not all uni applications

and in terms of edexcle or caie idt one is easier then the other

they should be equal in difficulty level

[thorny sparrow]

if u plan on doing chemical engineering chemistry is. a must but if you plan to go to mechanical engineering physics and math is a must

[thorny sparrow]

facts

[valid swallow]

ik

[thorny sparrow]

(nerd)

[vital leaf]

I wanna pursue doing CSE or EEE in Uni

So will cie be easier for maths and physics in alevels than edexcel?

[calm void]

im so gonna do a retake

ill make the money to retake it

for the retake*

if it aint that bad (which i doubt)

mann i wish i had a oct nov exam

[glossy spire]

Hi is there a drive for a level like this one https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1G96_PG3jFzGBzhFjrWfMQVJOh1mcOA_x

[acoustic mantle]

I got scammed so I can’t nothin 🗣️

[thorny sparrow]

edexcel math is shit alevel math is bearable (thats what ive heard)

[thorny sparrow]

what subject u want?

[glossy spire]

Every if possible

[thorny sparrow]

like u need sciences?

[glossy spire]

Uh biology, maths, physics and chemistry preferred

[thorny sparrow]

perfect

[broken dome]

guys if u apply through ucas for university for undergraduate starting year 2025-2026 ik the process starts ~june 2024 then you can submit your application september-january so you should have all your AS results before august hence taking them may/june 2024 sessions or before, so how do I take a subject in October/November 2024 or even june 2025 for example you took a level maths in may/june 2024 in year 12 then you want to take further maths in oct/nov 2024 or may/june 2025 in year 13 how exactly do universities/ucas know that i will take a subject after the admissions

last night

[vital leaf]

go ahead

[covert bloom]

ok so

it was a dream about a surgery

obv not a real one

it was a dream

so heres how it went: i had to get a surgery to straighten my spine but they accidentally the surgeons i mean they forgot to close a tiny whole in my back

now

after a few days

my eyesight started going blurry

like very blurry

until one day i stopped seeing

ok

@vital leaf wanna hear what happened now

[vital leaf]

sure

[vital leaf]

damnn

dream or nightmare?

[covert bloom]

nightmare

very bad one

ok

so

the hole in my back

no one noticed

not even me

so one day mom took me to a doctor

to get eyesight checked

the doctor saw a veiny pattern in my eye

and said smth was up with my spinal cord

okay

so i went to xray

xray was done

i couldnt see anything

and then the doctor displayed the xray on the screen

and

guess what was present inside me

[vital leaf]

damn bro
this is a really long dream
i’d be scared as shit

[vital leaf]

uhh
idk?

[covert bloom]

yes i woke up sweating and screaming

ok so

[vital leaf]

animal?
or like some tool leftover

[covert bloom]

no

[vital leaf]

you ok now 😭?

[covert bloom]

yes

it was a dream

so

basically thru the whole in the back

ok this is kinda weird but

in the hospital where i got the surgey

u know what IVF is?

@vital leaf

[vital leaf]

i think so

[covert bloom]

in vitro fertilisation

test tube kids

they make kids in test tubes

[vital leaf]

so in your back
was the hospital.

[vital leaf]

oh
damn

[covert bloom]

no

lol

some IVF liquid

spilled into my back

the hole

ok

[vital leaf]

oh

[covert bloom]

and the embryo thing

STARTED growing in my back

[vital leaf]

how’d you remember every single detail
damnn

[vital leaf]

WOAH

[covert bloom]

i just did cuz it was so vivid

ok lsiten

ok so

the growing embryo took up space

and the spinal cord which was in control of my vision

got crushed

and my mom saw the xray

started screaming

[vital leaf]

bro….

[covert bloom]

and i was like WHAT

WHAT IS HAPPENING

cuz i couldnt see

so they did another surgery

[vital leaf]

that must be painful irl tho

[covert bloom]

ye

but all it did was ruin my vision

nothng else

so the embryo

was like

joining with my veins

so therefore they had to

kill it

ok and this embryo belonged to two parents

[vital leaf]

😭

[covert bloom]

ok

so they didnt tell me what was happening

they opened up my back

killed the embryo

did stuff to my veins

and i opened my eyes after the surgery

and

i also opened my eyes after sleeping

[vital leaf]

💀

[covert bloom]

irl

and i was screaming

cuz like wtf

[vital leaf]

😭
that was
damnn

Which book is best to buy to do well in Exams?

CAIE AS Physics & Maths - Hodder Education OR Cambridge University Press OR Collins OR Oxford University Press ?

[covert bloom]

collins or oxford are a big no

u can use hodder or cambridge

i use cambridge pres for physics

[acoustic mantle]

Ayesha still up wow

[covert bloom]

also i use cambridge uni press for maths too cuz its linked with igcse and has worked examples and a nice design and lots of practicce problems and tables and stuff

[covert bloom]

yes why are u up :0

[acoustic mantle]

Cuz I can’t sleep 😔

Wbu

[covert bloom]

Hi,

Need prayers for my father's close friend. Their friendship came to an end after 40-42 years. She tragically died today from injuries sustained in the gas cylinder incident that happened last Saturday in Peshawar. Her husband also died on the same day. His body was unfortunately burned completely, and while she suffered severe burns, she ultimately succumbed to her injuries. There is a chance their children will survive as they received less severe injuries. Please pray for their survival and for the forgiveness of their parents. Otherwise, this entire family will be lost.

[vital leaf]

Oh I will 😭 hope they will be good

In Edexcel
Generally we choose,
In AS Level: P1, P2 and M1
In A2 Level: P3, P4 and S1
but what about in Cambridge?

[thorny sparrow]

That's very unfortunate to hear, May Allah bless the parents and grant them Jannah, and give patience to their children going through the grief and their injuries. Ameen 🙏

[thorny sparrow]

i think its
AS= P1, M1
A2= P3 and S1 (it can be otheraround as well)

rest someone else might tell you here or ask in the math channel

[peak tiger]

P3 is technically p2 and p3

It’s the same

[thorny sparrow]

ohh

[vital leaf]

So how the serial again goes in order?

As - P1, M1 and A2 - P2 and S1?

[peak tiger]

If u want a summary elk

Join caie maths it’s easier

[thorny sparrow]

yeah

[peak tiger]

No serial do wtv method u want

[thorny sparrow]

but this is the general way ppl take it

u can do S1 in AS as well

[vital leaf]

I recently joined CAIE for A Levels

[thorny sparrow]

and M1 in A2

[peak tiger]

There’s like four different ways to sit those four exams

[thorny sparrow]

exactly 😭

[vital leaf]

I just wanna go easy way to gain highest marks possible and do well

[peak tiger]

Then welcome to Cambridge

[thorny sparrow]

👽

enjoy bro

[vital leaf]

Last night I officially shifted to CAIE xd

[peak tiger]

I mean not like ours isn’t shitty

But less shit comparatively

[thorny sparrow]

u are caie right?

[peak tiger]

Yes

[vital leaf]

I did a Physics class yesterday of CAIE as level it is more better than edexcel

[peak tiger]

Not so much better

[thorny sparrow]

i think edexcel better cuz like u get to do it in more parts

[peak tiger]

But yes better

[thorny sparrow]

but its more detailed

both are difficult

[peak tiger]

Yea buts it’s also harder

[thorny sparrow]

you cant get away in any board

life get shitty and shittier

[peak tiger]

Unless your a commerce person

Then you get away with everything

[thorny sparrow]

nuh uh even commerce kids crying in mcqs

they spared nobody

[peak tiger]

Bruh that isn’t shit

For what science people do

[thorny sparrow]

i mean sure its more straight forward

but for them

its difficult as well

i mean we wont be able to understand it either

[fluid sparrow]

Any tips on how to study for as & a levels 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[peak tiger]

God

[pale plover]

dont.

[fluid sparrow]

Im suffering for physics as & a

IM TAKING BOTH

😣😣😣😣

[pale plover]

As and A2 att eh same time??

crazyy

[fluid sparrow]

yes

as & a levels for chem, bio, phy, and maths

[pale plover]

dang good uck honestly

[lean ingot]

i take math as an alevel subject, we took pure math 1 and stats 1 in AS, and now well be taking pure math and mechanics 1 in A2. im just not sure if itll be pure math 2 or 3, which one is it?

https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/Images/597421-2023-2025-syllabus.pdf
apparently, ill be taking pure math 3?

[vital leaf]

For Cambridge As and A Level Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Physics - is Cambridge or Hodder Book are best?

[nova flower]

p3

[craggy pollen]

is anyone doing as oct/nov here?

[vital leaf]

I am

[vital leaf]

For pure Maths I loved Cambridge's textbook
However I didn't like Cambridge's Physics one
Don't have Mechanics so not sure on that one sorry

[vital leaf]

Ah I see, I am using for Pure maths and mechanics the Cambridge books and for physics using the hodder one of its alright

[tidal socket]

which phy book do u recommend ?

[vital leaf]

idk sorry, I just know the Cambridge one is ass imo

[wheat shale]

oxford, its the one we use

[half moat]

i heard someone say that English language can’t be done

Ik there’s a list somewhere but I can’t find it

[surreal moss]

Y’all are scaring mee😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’m doing both at the same time

Pls tell me it’s not hell

Nd it’s manageable

[vital leaf]

Yeah English is the subject I'm struggling like hell on

It's just so 🤮

[half moat]

it is dw

[half moat]

I want to do it but idk if I can do it as a private candidate since my school doesn’t offer it

[cloud scroll]

do u guys think one should solve every question in every excersice of math p1 book

or should one only do a few of them and then do topical pps

also i took addmaths in ig so i cant decide how much time i should be spending on doing book questions cuz p1 is mostly like rivison for me

[thorny sparrow]

if the book questions follow the same pattern as the exam paper then doing it will. be worth it

and math is all about practice so doing questions fromthe textbook gives you a variety of questions helping you to understand the topic better

[cloud scroll]

ty

[distant robin]

Gave +1 rep to salted_caramel05!

[torpid sparrow]

If you did add maths in ig I don't think P1 is diffcult for you Almost every question in P1 is same with some variations so I believe you should practice like 7-8 questions from text book then try some past paper question and see if that work

[fierce python]

hey everyone! I want to change careers (currently I'm a cybersecurity expert) and go to uni for Law (trying to get into Oxbridge) in the UK and I'm studying for 2 A levels, History and Literature in English. I never studied in the UK nor did their A level curriculum so I'm looking to study with people, share notes, doing exam sessions together and just overall have a nice time learning together. If there is anyone who is doing the same A levels lets chat!

I can send if you want

Which papers

@tired smelt

[tired smelt]

paper 2 please

variant 3 iirc

[vital leaf]

March only has variant 2

[tired smelt]

oh

wait does variant actually matter

[vital leaf]

Wdym

It's only one variant in March which is v2

[tired smelt]

i am not well aware of what a variant actually is

i have only been informed that the papers i will sit for soon are the October/November variant 3

[tired smelt]

well i guess, its worth the try

[vital leaf]

In June and October sessions there are 3 different variants for same subject
Different time zones sit for different variants
March sessions only exist in India and Romania so there is only one variant

[tired smelt]

ohh

[vital leaf]

what subject?

[thorny sparrow]

caie

[thorny sparrow]

took me about a week of work to do topicals for each chapter rest depends on how easy the chapter is for you

[lean ingot]

I don't know but I mean if you're getting D's it would be really less probable for you to get in unis coz they're often like ull need all C's at least... I can't really remember if some unis r fine with D's too but even if they are they'll let students with better grades in... so u end up wanting to get better grades and that's why students repeat the whole academic year so u could call it "failing your class" if u look at it this way ig

[sweet cloak]

huh 😭

im cooked

coaching has started and I am already cooked

bro i will kms

what tf

i cant get into good unis internationally without 4 years of maths even tho my career choice and undergraduate program has absolutely NOTHING to do with maths?

[tidal drift]

guys i may need some advice. i took 4 subjects for o lvls. phy chem bio and maths. i feel very bothered by bio . idk if i should drop it . many ppl advising to not drop

i dont wanna go into medical profession by any means

but is it too risky to just do 3 subjects

[brittle nexus]

O lvls??

Or A levels?

I think you mean A lvls

[brittle nexus]

It all depends if you have fixated your mind on a particular career/field

[wheat shale]

no there is o lvls too

[brittle nexus]

Doctor isn't the only field that requires bio

[brittle nexus]

o lvls

is year 11 no?

[wheat shale]

yeah i thikn igcse or o lvls

but

i took igcse so idk ab o lvl

[brittle nexus]

yeahh but this is an A level channel

so I think he meant A levels

[wheat shale]

perchance

[brittle nexus]

Biology has a lot of fieldsss

[wheat shale]

u can take the other subject choice

[brittle nexus]

Though if you are sure you aren't gonna go for ANYTHING related to bio

then don't take it

[wheat shale]

[brittle nexus]

Hnstly
Don't pay attention to what ppl in your school think

It's just the uni's requirements

fulfill that

and the country you are gonna study in

[wheat shale]

yeah

also

can i get into good unis internationally without 4 years of maths even tho my career choice and undergraduate program has absolutely NOTHING to do with maths?

[brittle nexus]

4 years of maths?

Elaborate...

[wheat shale]

9th - 12th grade

i have only comlpeted 2yrs

Hello, I'm an Indian student and I have recently given my IGCSE's and I'm interested in and undergraduate programme in Criminal Psychology/ Criminology, but still deciding between choosing AS/A levels or IB. Initially I wanted to take IB but the only issue I have is that maths is a compulsory subject and Im REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD at maths (barely passing) and I don't really want to take it as it may affect my overall score as I'm pretty good at the rest of my subjects, I also cant take maths and psychology together in AS/A levels but I can in IB (IB also has great extracurricular activities which would also better my profile), and as per my research, almost all universities require 4+ years of maths (i.e. 9th - 12th grade) so will it be better if i take IB maths aa sl or should I drop it all together and take AS but it may affect my chances for international universities?

[brittle nexus]

Is it compulsory in your school?

Also no

There isn't anything like

most unis

need 4 yrs of maths

Again depends on your field

[wheat shale]

yeah they do i researched a bit on it and ill probs tak to a counseller

however all of them reccomend 4 yrs maaths

[brittle nexus]

For criminal psychology
Mayb

I know for medical, you 100% don't need

no matter

what country

[wheat shale]

yeah

[brittle nexus]

you are studying in

[wheat shale]

how

[brittle nexus]

I haven't researched

So you are the more knowledgeable one here

[wheat shale]

dang

im cooked chat

[plush smelt]

Why can’t you take Math and Psychology at the same time in AS/A levels ?

Do their exam timings clash?

[plush smelt]

It really depends on the situation at hand, how many subjects do the uni of your choice require ?

And a few other things too

[tidal drift]

yea typo

[torpid sparrow]

I didn't have any accounts on any platforms except YouTube and Discord. After my As exams, my friend suggested that I try Instagram and TikTok, saying it would be fun. When I started using them, they became addictive. Now, I've successfully eliminated my Instagram addiction, but I'm struggling to do the same with TikTok. Is there anything I can do?

I'm going to install and uninstall TikTok ten times a day.

[plush smelt]

How did you use to spend your time before TikTok and Insta?

[torpid sparrow]

Use to learn skill
Studying
Other fun activities

[plush smelt]

Has the “addiction” affected all three of these ?

[torpid sparrow]

Yup

[plush smelt]

How did you get rid of Insta addiction ?

[torpid sparrow]

I created the account for the first time on insta and deleted it after using it for 2 day or max 2.5 day

[plush smelt]

Aha I see, how long have you been using tiktok for?

[torpid sparrow]

12-14 days

[plush smelt]

Continue, you were saying something

[plush smelt]

Oh so this took place in the past 2 weeks?

[torpid sparrow]

Yup

[plush smelt]

Hmm, I think there might be something more to it as well. I get how both insta and TikTok are trained to get the user to be sucked in, However I’m not sure if an addiction truly forms over the range of a week or two, or even a month. It’s most likely related to a few others things, where you’re using these means to cope with something in an unhealthy manner,

Do you think there’s some truth to what I said ? Or do you think I might have got it slightly wrong or even completely wrong?

[torpid sparrow]

What you meant by unhealthy manner

[plush smelt]

Alright so by unhealthy manner, I mean that you’re using certain things[food or etc, social media in your case] that are usually considered normal, like eating biscuits or chewing on gum or etc, but instead you’re over doing it. In this case it means that you’re over indulging into TikTok/Insta to get rid of a bigger problem/feeling or something along those lines.

Wait let me ask you another thing, have you seen a similar thing happen with you using discord or YouTube ?

[plush smelt]

Ignore this for now

[torpid sparrow]

Nope never before

[plush smelt]

And how long have you been using discord and YouTube for?

[torpid sparrow]

10 months for discord
YouTube I don't know I can clearly recall I am using it from 9 year or decade idk

[plush smelt]

Lmao alright wait brb

[tame badger]

anyone active here?

like rn?

[covert bloom]

me

[tame badger]

can you explain me how does a level result system works?

[covert bloom]

AS result
A2 result

[tame badger]

cie a level

[covert bloom]

AS maximum has (A) grade

A is highest

[tame badger]

ye

[covert bloom]

A2 has maximum A* grade

cuz all components have been given

okay

[tame badger]

okay

[covert bloom]

and grades are ABCDE U

U is fail

ungraded

okay

[tame badger]

roger

[covert bloom]

A* in A 2

A2*

okay

u can also give AS+ A2 combined

this is called composite

in which u will get direct A*

but its better to split

as giving 4-5 papers per subject aint easy in one go

okay

[tame badger]

okay

[covert bloom]

any questions

[tame badger]

soooooooooooooooooooooooo is it important for me to get high result as level?

to get a* for a overall a level result

[covert bloom]

yes

obviously

[tame badger]

what happens if i get low grade on as level

and try to do better on a2

[covert bloom]

A2 adds up marks from as level

so if u get B in as level papers

and A in a level papers

then u can get a total B or A

not A*

okay

[tame badger]

wtf

[covert bloom]

yes

duh

[tame badger]

no comeback shit?

[covert bloom]

A level is completed when ur final 2 papers are done PLUS the previous ones are added

whole subject is made up of

4-5 papers

so they add up at the end

[tame badger]

ye i know that

[covert bloom]

and A2 result is of all 4-5 papers

[tame badger]

but

[covert bloom]

okay

AS IS ADDED IN IT

U NEED TO DO WELL IN AS

otherwise ur whole A2 goes splat

[tame badger]

so like if i wanna get a* i need to have a on as level

[covert bloom]

yes

[tame badger]

and a* on a2?

[covert bloom]

papers have A at component level

look at chem for example
paper 1 2 3 in AS
if i get A in all 3 then its the highest

paper 4 and 5 in A2
if i get A in all then its highets fo paper

A LEVELC OMPLETE

add up those marks

A*

okay

A2 = ALL PAPERS COMBINED

u give paper 4 and 5 for last year

and result comes

for 1,23,45

all of them

1,23 result u already know

now the final result

[tame badger]

ooh

[covert bloom]

is the sum of these

okay

so in ur final A2 result

A* is the highest grade

okay

its all 5 papers

3 papers done, carried forward

2 u gave that year

ok?

[tame badger]

ye

got it

i need to do well on all the 3 papers of as

is that how it works?

[covert bloom]

yes for chem phy bio we have 5 papers

rest all subs have 4 papers

okay

2 in AS

2 in A2

[tame badger]

i see

okay thanks for explaining @covert bloom

hii

so im confused abt this, im in year 12 and im doing pure maths but when i look for papers theres, component 1,2,3,4 which are all for pure, but whichones am i supposed to do in year 12 and which one in 13?

[lean ingot]

i mean just two other components are left; 5 and 6, go for them if you got nothing to do? 😭

[sonic jewel]

Googoogaagaa

[balmy oyster]

Usually schools follow this approach

Year 12:
Component 1 & 4 OR 1 & 5
Year 13:
Component 3 & 5 OR 3 & 6

[balmy oyster]

4 reperesents Mechanics, not pure,

[hallow palm]

depend on what your school offers

I wrote component 1 & 5 for year 12

n next year in year 13 i will be doing component 4 & 6

Btw Componet 5 & 6 is just statistic-1 and Statistic-2

[static river]

yall think i can finish the p1,p3,s1,s2 syllabus before oct/nov? i hardly know anything

[covert bloom]

u can do p1 and s1 maybe and give AS

all 4? no

[static river]

i have gone through everything. just need to really lock in. a D is all i need. is it possible you think?

[covert bloom]

if u want a D go ahead and give it

achievable.

[static river]

stats can surely carry me aint it

[covert bloom]

if u want a D then u dont need anything to carry u

also dont study more if u want a D

cuz u might get a C or B

ok?

[static river]

the higher the better aint it🤣

[peak tiger]

Try for c tbh u can get into top one fifty to two hundred with C

and ask ur school to just be ur centre for exams and for math if u want to go to US u need to give SATs for most of the universities so u need math knowledge

P2 is only part of As can't take for A2, and if you take it in As you don't progress to AL

[hallow palm]

yh true

[vital leaf]

Then ramens choice of papers doesn't work

Okay I actually don’t know how that’s working
But we are supposed to appear for 4 paper in total for us to get a complete credit of 1

0.5 As 0.5 A2

Paper 3 mechanics is not a part of it tho

[hallow palm]

damn man

then i guess when applying for uni they will say u only did As

[vital leaf]

Paper 3 isn't mechanics it's pure

Maybe you're talking about smth not cambridge?

@vital leaf for cambridge
You either do p1 p3 m1 s1
Or p1 p3 s1 s2

[hallow palm]

or p1 p5

or p3 p4

[vital leaf]

I just don’t know which paper is stats and pure

But I am sure that we are supposed to study As and A2 stats and As and A2 pure maths

That leads me to appear for which paper? Can you help me figure it out?

[vital leaf]

Same thing
P4 is m1
P5 is s1

[hard totem]

p3 is pure mathematics, s1 is stats

[vital leaf]

Hmmm okay I see

I hate maths but Idk if I should appear for it

[hard totem]

you study m1 (mechanics) and p1 (pure) in AS, and p3 and s1 in A2

[vital leaf]

Stat 1 is p5
Stat 2 is p6
Mech 1 is p4

Pure 2 is p2
