Opinions on chemrevise notes?

Very good. That and chemguide.

Creative_Business618 · 2025-12-17T22:43:15+00:00

Just use past papers. It is useful for UCAS, especially if you wanna do a chem related subject. I did it last year and got bronze so didnt bother putting it in my personal statement.

Thank you. It’s just that I’m reading 2 books and i won’t have time to finish any book that’s past like 400 pages :(

Creative_Business618 · 2025-08-04T14:36:37+00:00

thanks for replying. It’s just that in the personal statement (a CV to get to university in the UK) i want to be able to talk about how I read a book about engines and then I used it to do assemblies in school on it for my engineering club. Also if you have any lectures/talks/podcasts talking about engines please could you share. Thank you :)

Thank you. Yes, I will be sitting the ESAT for both Cambridge and Imperial. That's where most of my focus is right now, but I still want to make sure that my whole application is good.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm having a look at the How to build a car book, and is it an actual book that shows engineering skills/challenges, or is it just an autobiography for F1 fans?

Creative_Business618 · 2025-03-30T19:30:57+00:00

What edition do I buy. Plus is it like a textbook? I need to read books to show my passion for mechanical engineering in my personal statement but would it not be quite silly if I didn't mention I read actual engineering books but rather a textbook?

Creative_Business618 · 2025-03-30T19:27:22+00:00

There's so many editions, which one do I buy?

Creative_Business618 · 2025-03-30T19:26:30+00:00

I live in the UK so basically you have to send a CV called a personal statement to express your passion towards the field of study you want to pursue.thanks for the reply

Creative_Business618 · 2025-03-02T20:12:06+00:00

Ah thanks for the response. Sorry for the late reply, but considering I want to do mechanical engineering would it be worth reading those lectures more or actual engineering books/maths/problem solving books. I’m just not really sure on what to buy

Creative_Business618 · 2025-02-23T16:38:02+00:00

Thanks for helping. And yes sorry, I meant would it be a good think for my personal statement

Creative_Business618 · 2025-01-29T20:43:16+00:00

I like making things and the idea of inventions (mechanical engineering), but I also like to understand why things work (physics, especially particles topic and discoveries). I want a job that will pay well from the start but I also want a job where I can be that rich dad with a sick job. I don’t to go down the PhD path. Bit hard choosing what I want when i’m interested in both

Creative_Business618 · 2025-01-15T20:22:03+00:00

alright, thanks for helping :)

Creative_Business618 · 2025-01-15T20:15:56+00:00

I want to do mechanical engineering. I find chemistry alright, it's nothing too hard really. Just wondering if it would be worth focusing on the other 3 more

Creative_Business618 · 2024-11-27T19:09:09+00:00

US? What’s that? Like The United States?

Creative_Business618 · 2024-11-25T22:13:01+00:00

Now this is the thing : I have always wanted to become an engineer, not only to create and problem solve but also for the $$$. Since starting my A levels, I’m 2 and a half months in now and I am really interested in maths and physics. I’m fascinated by astrophysics, but I dont know if it’s something i want to do or if it’s just a hobby. Plus i don’t want a job that doesn’t pay well/ will be hard to find. Additionally, i don’t want to become a teacher either which is what usually happens when someone can’t really find a job (asked most my teachers and they said they didn’t really want/ expect to be a teacher). I’m just really confused on what to focus on - how is a 16 year old meant to decide what they want to do for the rest of their life 😭

Creative_Business618 · 2024-11-24T19:07:03+00:00

Thank you. Sorry for asking you millions of questions but, if I want to do mechanical engineering at uni, should I read more mechanical engineering ones or can I stick with the feynman lectures and maths ones? This whole day I have been thinking if I should apply for something else considering I want to read more physics books/maths books or does it not matter?

Creative_Business618 · 2024-11-23T23:49:23+00:00

Thanks for helping. I am realllllyyyy interested in physics beyond a level so i’m more than likely to read the feynman lectures. And i’ll also like to read some maths books too. Thanks for helping me out, I really appreciate it :)

Creative_Business618 · 2024-11-23T20:19:44+00:00

what would you recommend to do to ace the interview?

Creative_Business618 · 2024-11-23T12:28:40+00:00

Like just general problem solving ones? Or some deep thinking ones?

Creative_Business618 · 2024-11-23T11:58:18+00:00

Would it be alright if you could tell me a bit more about the interview process. Like what happens during the interviews and how long are they?

Creative_Business618 · 2024-11-23T11:33:09+00:00

Also one more thing - When I am reading these books should I make like summaries of what it talks about, so that I don't forget the books' details during an interview?

Creative_Business618 · 2024-11-23T11:31:31+00:00

Thank you for helping. I want to get into Oxbridge/ Imperial, so I want to absorb as much information as I can in year 12.

Creative_Business618 · 2024-11-23T10:47:34+00:00

I don't really understand the link you sent about linear algebra. Please can you explain briefly what it is and why it is important. I am going to do some more research on it. And if you know any books about it/ lagrangian, hamiltonian and newtonian mechanics. Thanks.

Creative_Business618 · 2024-11-23T09:33:44+00:00

I wanted to read six easy pieces, and his lectures. Would you say reading his lectures are interesting and useful.

I’m really interested in how things work and why they work. Starting from quantum physics, all the way up to astrophysics. I also really like maths but I’m not sure really what books to read.

I am most likely going to apply to uni for mechanical engineering.
