Intl, physics, cs, maths, fm A*,A*,A*, A (only 5 marks off A* in FM but teacher refused to raise predicted grade)

I think I bombed the TMUA so I'm exepcting around 5-6. I've been getting around a 7 in the pre-2024 papers using the official grade conversion chart and I've heard that they raised the grade boundaries...

I've gotten distinction in every BEBRAs challenge I've done and gold in every UKMT except one. I've talked about the national cipher challenge that I came 61st nationally (although technically there were >100 joint 1sts) but I've always been interested in so many different parts of CS so I don't have a main focus on my PS (I've talked about cryptography, game development, AI and more...)

I'm still finalising my PS and I'm planning to submit my application once I get my TMUA results. Is it even worth applying to imperial if I get a TMUA below 5.5?

My predicted is BCC
What are the best unis i could get to and aim for with these grades for business management and a good personal statement

Booking started and for some reason the only time slot is 8am for every exam center I checked, is it normal?

How do they compare in difficulty to the MAT long answer questions or the STEP questions? Also, how good do I actually need to do to get an offer and how do I gauge how well I'm doing for it? Like I feel as though even if I get an interview among the other people who did as well there's no way I'd be top what 30% out of them.

Is this too ambitious as a non contextual? I had 5th option that did not matter too much which is why I have applied Imperial (I'm aware the average offer is A*AA). Additionally does anyone know if anyone has got into Imperial materials with AAA?

I'm a Y13 applying for Oxford Maths. There are only a handful of official TMUA/ESAT papers, so I started writing my own, deliberately harder than the real thing, inspired by JZ style, and practised on them.

I sat the TMUA recently and it genuinely paid off: I stayed calm the whole way through because there wasn't a single question type I hadn't already seen, although there were slight variations and nuances.

So I've put everything on a site:

- TMUA mock sets with full worked solutions (500+ new TMUA questions available for free)

- 13 free ESAT papers (Maths 1, Maths 2 and now Physics), 27 questions in 40 mins, no calculator

- Interview simulator with a free AI interviewer which provides feedback and grades your responses.

- Olympiad preparation, including my Geometry book Beyond the Incenter, which is published on Amazon KDP.

- Diagrams typset in tkz-euclide in solutions

Would genuinely love feedback, especially if a question is too easy, too hard or just wrong. Good luck to everyone sitting ESAT and TMUA January and hope this helps!🫡

Im a yr12 student and i really want to do psychology at a russell group last year i basically redid year 11 because i had gotten basically all 4s and couldnt do what u wanted too in 6th form and i redid the core ones and i got mostly 5s but i got a 4 in gcse higher maths , 3 marks away from a 5 , most russell group unis ask for a 5 in maths , should i retake gcse maths? Also plz dont be horrible to me i was struggling alot mentally during gcses

If you had offers for both UCL Mathematics & Computer Science and Warwick Mathematics & Statistics, which would you choose?

I'm interested in careers such as AI/ML, quantitative finance and potentially postgraduate study at Oxbridge.

I'm particularly interested in comparing:

• Reputation among employers, especially in maths, finance and technology
• Graduate employment prospects
• Academic reputation and postgraduate opportunities
• Value for money, considering London's higher living costs

I know the courses are different, but I'm interested in how people would weigh up the two overall.

Would appreciate opinions from current students or graduates of either course!

Yo how could I get mock interviews for maths cause I'm applying to Oxford and I figure I should start preparing. But I can't really afford any interview preparation resources and my school does not send many people to Oxford so I'm not really getting any help out of them

Thanks 🙏

Real ones know about soaxbridge. Heard theres good routes to become a quant from this course?

All jokes aside its a good safety and I like the course❤️

I freaked out when UCAS sent me a notification… I initially thought checking emails wouldn’t be a matter yet!!!! I wasn’t aware offers come out this early so I can’t really concentrate rn😭

the wait begins type shi

I was EXACTLY where you guys are now 1 year to the day so if you have any questions about applications, exams, or uni life ask away!

hey gang im so stuck between bristol philosophy and politics and manchester BASS philosophy and politics as my safety can I just get opinions

pros of bristol is that its a BSc degree so its more analytical philosophy which I prefer, and more respected for corporate law increasing the chances of me actually getting a job

cons of bristol is that its known to be quite snobby and not diverse at all which I am used to so wont be unbearable but still, and is a LOT more expensive which is a big issue

pros of manny is that it's very flexible so I could look into sociology or criminology and if I decide I dont wanna do what im currently doing I could switch, also decently cheaper but still a big city life, significantly lower grade requirements (BBC)

cons of manny is that its less respected for law, degree probably less respected as a bachelor of social sciences vs a BSc, im already applying to another manchester course so might seem pointless to have another one Idk

Hey, anyone who got A* in both OCR chem and Edexcel maths can you please give me any advice about how you revised in year 13. Are there any good set of flashcards that you used for chemistry and is it beneficial to practice madasmaths questions. Also what was your daily schedule like around this time of the year and leading up to the exam season. I am really confused rn, struggling to make a routine that I can stick to without burning out but also not sure how or when to start revising, I havent really reviewed anything in a while (4 months). Pookie pls help. Im resitting rn, I was very close to an A in chemistry and I burned out while revising for maths which is funny because I used to be really good at maths but sucked at chem and I was struggling alot with my mental health at the time thats mainly why I messed up. Anyway I'd really appreciate any help you offer. >,< If you help me I'll sing you twinkle twinkle little stars or whatever nursery rhyme you want. (heart emoji)

English student btw,
A in AS maths but a C (one mark off a B) in AS physics (I had extenuating circumstances for the C but I don’t want to report it to my school)
My school makes us sit AS exams for our Alevel predicted grades.
I did a mock in year 13 and I got an A* score so I’m now predicted an A.
My predicted grades are A⭐️ * maths AAA physics, fm and my 4th unrelated subjec*t

I’m looking to apply to Edinbrugh, UCL, st Andrew’s, bath for physics. Would I be disadvantaged in this exam cycle since I have to report my AS grade to the uni? im applying for physics

I also sat Alevel maths in year 12 (against my wish) but my school is going to mention my resit in my reference as I didn’t want to sit the Alevel a year early.

MULTIBREAD?

why do they give you NO INFOMATION.

"there's been an update to your ucas applcation" will genuingly haunt me forever.

Which will open more opportunities in AI or quant in 2030?

My son is about to enter 6th form age next school year and we tried to get him into a private school but his marks just aren’t going to be good enough so we will have to settle for 6th form which I’m not super mad about because I think there is some merit in modern day public schooling, it’s just a matter of choosing the right one!

Based off what I’ve heard of Rudge Park it seems to be a good school. I’ve heard that at the first day of the school year the 6th Formers all meet up at the local pub and get drinks, I guess they’re provided with fake ID’s. They also have non uniform day for Years 12 and 13 which I think is a good concept, a bit of freedom for the older students, they also host a 6th form Christmas party every year where the school allows the students 2 alcoholic drink tokens which is a great concept for preparing the students for the real world. I’ve also heard they do educational field trips to places like Swanage, they have the Duke of Edinburgh program as well as work experience, and they also host charity fashion shows to support sick children. It’s also based close to the Waterside shopping Centre which my nephew and his friends like to go to after school.

What do we think? Is anyone a past student that has something good to say about the place?
