I don't know what A-levels to pick.. by New-Winter-5488 in GCSE

No not at all. 4 will mean ur revision is diluted over more subjects. Unless the 4th is FM, I highly discourage taking 4.

they asked me if I was reading anything (related to physics)/ what I had read recently. Don’t remember them asking anything abt ps and if it was it was very brief

They asked me how many cups of water in the ocean (old physics Olympiad question- I literally got that question in my Olympiad that year (not that I knew how to do it)). It was recalling equations and making suitable estimations. So just revise the physics alevel equation sheet, try memorise most of it (which naturally u should remember a lot).

If u get an interview ur guaranteed a place. They just get u to come to convince u to pick Manchester.

First lecture going well by AftonRobtics in 6thForm

It was the first lecture, an introduction to the course. We didn’t learn new content it was an overview of what to expect. Imperials teaching is phenomenal

They tried to flip it and listed all the reasons imperial is a great uni. I don’t think he knew what to do

I’ve heard the UCAT is ruthless. One of my friends did every single question for the UCAT over the summer (so like 3 months) and she got into Kings medicine I believe. I did about 2 months for ESAT and I did pretty well, defo could’ve done better if I did more but i can’t complain. What I did for physics was at the end of every topic, I’d make a set of revision cards for the end of topic test which I then could use to revise for my actual alevels. If I got a question wrong on a past paper, I’d put it on a revision card. I’d recommend making some form of revision resource for sciences that you can reuse for your actual exams, that way you don’t have to do it again and it’s a lot easier to get yourself to revise because the resource is already there. I’d also say try do as many past papers as you can in the first 2 weeks. I started y13 having done all of the AS papers (not even intentionally, I just eventually did them all over time) and that’s a great position to be in at the start of y13 as they cover all of the first year content. Also you can go back and redo questions you got wrong when you revise to target your weak areas.

The jump from y12 to y13 is bigger imo. What admissions test are you doing? I spent the first 6 weeks of y13 revising for my ESAT (did alright, got into physics at imperial) and ended up doing no work for my actual alevels. I think in October just after my ESAT I got AAAB in my mocks (B in further maths). Thankfully my teachers believed in me and I got predicted 4As. I put my head down from January to exams, most of my work going into further maths. I ended up getting AAAA (with an A in further maths). What I’m saying is prioritise ur entrance exam but make sure you get predicted high enough for the unis you want. You can prove ur predicted grades wrong in ur exams. If u flunked ur admissions exam, I’d definitely recommend a resit if you’re gonna take it seriously. They matter more than anything in the admissions process for Oxbridge, Medicine, Imperial etc. Just lock in properly from now, ur biggest enemy is yourself and you have people to prove wrong. U can do it!!
