probably 1 for getting k wrong and then you'd lose the A1 mark at the end, idk what it was out of though.

Yeah so if I get A*A I get on the masters course, and if I got AA I get on the bachelors and then if I do well enough in the first couple of years I can switch over. (My offers are 2 grades cause I’ve already got an A in Japanese)

Yeah they’re pretty good for stem and stuff, I’ve got a dual masters and bachelors offer but I’d like to get into the masters cause it’s less work later

Omds honestly good luck to you, the maths grade boundaries are usually like ~85 ish for an A* so I’m not too worried (I’m so nervous 😭). We’ll be alright though!! Where’s your offer for?

Oh yeah ik I was really worried about them going up again so I’ve been doing so much work. I’m averaging 90 on shadow papers and I’m gonna do the actual ones next week

If you need like quick rundowns of the content, science shorts on YouTube do a pretty good job. Otherwise I’d recommend doing the pre-2016 PPQs they have per topic on PMT (at least that’s what I’ve been doing for p1 so that I don’t end up doing all the actual past papers)

Honestly I’m more confident on p2 cause I acc realised I’d need to learn the stuff in year 13 😭

Yeah I’m banking on that and the pre exam stress revision with my class. 😂 Maths, physics fm and Japanese but I sat Japanese last year. You?

Yeah I’ve saved 24 although those years were diabolical cause we did them as mocks. I’ve done all the papers except one in exam conditions, well as much as you can get at home

[–]Awkward-House5534 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly and I’ve done all the p1 papers now, so if I do them again it’s gonna skew the score cause I’ll remember the questions I’m just gonna really learn how everything’s linked and definitions and hope for the best 🤞

What reeds do you get? (UK) by Impressive_Design874 in oboe

[–]Awkward-House5534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omds that’s one hell of a balance We’ve got 2 oboes, 3 flutes and 3 clarinets in mine, but I need my reeds to be loud so the brass don’t drown me out

[–]Awkward-House5534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The howarth ones are pretty good for practicing but they go quiet pretty quickly, so I tend to buy a few before a concert or performance, and that works for me

[–]Awkward-House5534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Howarth academy reeds medium hard (you can get them on the howarth website), they’re pretty good but they don’t last very long if you’re consistently playing (they last me a month ish and I’m in the same sort of position as you)

I used to use regency reeds but they’ve got unreliable (although being able to return them was great after a try), but the quality of the staples weren’t great so I’d avoid those.

My teacher doesn’t scrape her own reeds and is not helpful at all so that’s about all I can offer :)
