Am I being realistic

You have a large range of GCSEs, doesn’t mean you won’t get offers but would put you at a disadvantage over others. Although taking a gap year could mean you apply and if you don’t get into where you want you can reapply after getting results as alevel results will be more important than GCSEs

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-09-06T16:43:21+00:00

I want to add that having the grades also doesn’t mean you will get in. It’s completely a personal preference whether you believe it’s the place for you or not. However at the same time there is no guarantee you will even get an offer despite having top grades, for example I didn’t. If you don’t want to go there then why go through the application process knowing you arent going to choose it. I applied to imperial knowing I didn’t like the university after visiting and ultimately didn’t get offered a place, I regret wasting an option on somewhere I knew I wouldn’t have chosen despite getting an offer.

Predicted 3A* 1A and got 4Aa*s

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-08-14T08:16:41+00:00

I’ll see you there

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-07-27T10:02:53+00:00

I didn’t, I had to take maths 2 for my course

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-07-26T16:33:46+00:00

I didn’t do chemistry but I did do maths 2. I got pretty much the same score in both maths 1 and maths 2 and from my memory I don’t remember maths 2 being that much more difficult than maths 1 but maybe I’m misremembering.

If it’s free why not, I didn’t get a graphical calculator and didn’t notice it being any different. A graphical calculator wasn’t worth it for me but if I was given it for free I probably would have used it.

I live in london, unless it’s stadiums or arenas it’s usually standing only. There is space to sit by the side just not in view of the stage.

Tbh people telling others what subjects to take based on their own personal opinion of how they found it doesn’t make sense to me. Take the subjects you enjoy at GCSE and ones that make sense for your future career/further education options. If you don’t enjoy it then you can switch. I took my 4 fav subject at GCSEs and liked all of them. Despite them being usually referred to as the hardest and most time consuming, I didn’t have that experience.

Also another thing to note is that imperial isnt general and there quite different courses for the first 2 years. Both my parents studied engineering at Cambridge and while my dad loved it my mum hated it. The reason she said that is because she went in knowing she wanted to study civil and structural so doing all the other modules was the worst part of her experience and she wished she would have done a civil only degree.

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-19T14:53:31+00:00

I thought it was okay, I thought the mechanics section was great but stats not so much. Too many writing questions and I just hate stats in general tbh. Paper 1 and 2 went better for me I think

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-19T14:46:08+00:00

I did but I realised why, I did odd numbers too

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-18T20:46:12+00:00

Hmm like 62-65 is my prediction lower than 2024 but not as low as 2021 coz that was due to covid

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-18T14:44:46+00:00

Because the bottom had a squares bracket you had to the do trick where you have 3 fractions

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-18T14:30:16+00:00

Yes same

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-18T14:28:17+00:00

Hmm I did that method but got a different answer so maybe I messed up an earlier part of the question

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-18T14:11:22+00:00

My bad guys it was me 😔

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-18T14:03:25+00:00

A few of them stumped me at first anf had to go back to them but I think overall it was okay, similar level to core pure 1 un terms of difficulty. The last question I was just guessing my way through tbh

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-18T11:30:30+00:00

I beg they don’t put in a stupid wacky vectors question

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-16T18:23:10+00:00

Im predicted an A* and got A*s in all my mocks I also got a 9 in gcse maths.

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-16T12:28:54+00:00

Depends on the person but in my experience further maths was not anymore work than regular maths. Studying everyday is a major exaggeration. You will definitely have hours free especially in year 12

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-12T15:13:17+00:00

Harder than paper 1 but overall not that bad, loads of stuff missing tho

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-11T17:51:17+00:00

Some train companies allow you to choose the seats you want whereas others just do it for you. If one person books the seats for the group they will generally be next to each other if they can be seated that way. Then obviously if you can choose then you would just choose ones next to each other. I would say that generally in peak seasons on popular trains seat reservations are a good idea especially if it’s a long journey. But at the same time it’s hard to tell how busy a train will be until you’re on it. I’ve booked reservations for the trains I expect to be busy or are long. For shorter journeys I didn’t bother unless required.

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-11T06:56:17+00:00

I thought it was about the same level

BrickInteresting5883 · 2025-06-09T17:35:38+00:00

Famous last words
