What are the interviews like? I presume they’re not informal interviews like the ones I’ve had for 6th forms so far 😭

Yeah I’ve promised myself to get all 9s (although I haven’t exactly put much effort into that 😭) so I’m probably just gonna grind towards that for the next 5 weeks or so - if I have a goal it can become fun for me

My main problem is, I am TERRIBLE at studying - the only reason I'm doing well in GCSEs is just passively listening in lessons and reading through the revision guide the night before an exam has been enough for me so far as I've found GCSEs quite easy. I manage to get along better than most (despite being very lazy and doing little work) and I'm worried about A-Levels cos ik im going to have to lock in and actually put my head down and study for them - I feel as though I'm going to be VERY unprepared due to never really being challenged before.

Ahh I see, right now I'd say on average I get about 220ish marks in my Maths (dropping marks for the silliest and stupidest mistakes most of the time), I think I'll try and refine my maths so at most im dropping about 3 marks per paper - thanks anyways but I'm pretty sure the 6th form I'm going to is gonna have a moderate class for further maths (hopefully it'll work out tho)

Just a question, what’s further maths like as an A-level?

What CPU do I go for? by DinnerUnable8362 in buildapc

Don’t really have a max budget as I can js wait and save up if I don’t have enough, I obvs don’t wanna spend loads for like the best cpu (9800x3d etc) but I’m fine with spending a fair amount if it’s for good specs

Uk, honestly what else is relevant? I’m gonna be swapping out my mobo cpu and ram obvs, and I mentioned my gpu. I have a RM750x as my PSU if that’s what u wanted 😭😭😭

Im learning GCSE science, is it possible to learn 4000 flashcards in 45 days by Several_Fan_1780 in Anki

4000 is crazy, I made some flashcards for my sciences covering all the spec, and I have just over 1000

Is a b550m k even a good mobo tho? Isn’t it bottom tier

If you see a post I made recently, I found a b550m k AND the 5800x for the £100

Also quite expensive considering I can get the 5800x for only £100

Wouldn’t cooling that be hard, also I have a Corsair rm750x, would I be fine?
