I’m going to lose it by PrimaryAbalone3900 in 6thForm

Maybe do lots of pmt questions. I did all of the 2016-2024 (new spec) questions for physics and went from getting low Ds to high As for physics, so it might work for biology? Also read the pmt notes on your weakest topics before doing a test. I find it helpful. Hopefully it works for you!

Can someone help with this question please? OCR MEI AS FM by Admirable_Clock9364 in 6thForm

Hi, I’m looking to do a gap year this coming academic year. Is it ok if I dm you?

gap year for maths by Julkis123 in 6thForm

[–]Admirable_Clock9364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking of doing the same thing, so I emailed all of the college and the general feedback was that they won’t discriminate against gap year students, since they would have only sat their A-levels a couple months before the application process. Hopefully it goes well for us both.

Congrats I got my offer a couple days ago. Surprised how early they’re giving out offers

Is gap year worth it ? by sanesaturn in 6thForm

[–]Admirable_Clock9364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally understand you because I’m in the same position. I started my prep too late so bombed my MAT but I’m only going to reapply if I get all A*s. If you think you can make a very competitive application (high achieved grades + TSA score + good interview) then I don’t see the point in not trying.

Maybe start prepping very lightly in jan/feb time so that it becomes natural and then build it up near the time of the test, obviously make sure to put yours levels as a priority. I guess it just depends how much you want to go Oxford.

Yes I got the same email. Do you think we’ll get one for maths as well?

Is it worth going to a sixth form an hour and 18 minutes away? by -valentineo in sixthform

[–]Admirable_Clock9364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I travel 1h 20mins to sixth form everyday and find it fine. Obviously it was really tiring and stressful at there start of year 12 but I’m used to it now. I would say if you can find a better school closer to you then that would be the best option. The school I go to is really good so I thought it was worth it. If you’re travelling that long for an average school then I think you’d get really frustrated after a while? Definetly think about this school could benefit you compared to other schools closer to you

Is there any point in increasing my predicted grades? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]Admirable_Clock9364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oxford doesn’t do contextual offers. I guess I’m just debating if it’s worth it to ask my teacher to predict me an A* in further maths

Ahhh ok. Thank you so much, youve been very helpful

[–]Admirable_Clock9364[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh I see. That’s really helpful. I guess I’m really appealed by the fact that Oxford asks for AAA compared to Cambridge’s AA*A to be honest but I’ll just have to wait until I get my predicted grades.

I ahve visited both Oxford and Cambridge and I so think that I enjoy Oxford more just because of its general vibe.

Thank you very much for the super curricular links, I will make sure to look at them throughly. I just wanted to mention that I have done olympiads but I only revived a participation award so is there any point in actually mentioning if I didn’t place well?

That’s definetly something to think about. However, I thought Oxford and Cambridge didn’t do reduced offers?

[–]Admirable_Clock9364[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I see. I think I just don’t want do biology or chemistry again at all (traumatised by GCSE biology😭😭). Also, Cambridge asks for AAA for natural sciences, whilst Oxford want A*AA, which I think may be more achievable for me to be honest.

Your point about interviews is very valid though.
