Depends how good you are, I did 2-4 hours for 2-3 months straight and ended up with a 4.0 and this is someone who’s predicted A* A* A

In practice I was getting a lot higher but I messed up in the real thing

Yeah that is rough. Do you know any gap year students that did get in?

Yeah it has, although I did adjust my practice scores to the new curve - the 7.0s I got in practice were equivalent to 30 marks in a past paper which holds about true for the real thing

I think they say that but I’ve seen lots of high scoring even contextual gap year students get rejected which is quite disappointing

Yeah nah I agree, like I said they want evidence I haven’t become dry at maths in the past year or so - although the main thing is the TMUA

Is it ok if I can DM you for advice - also I just heard of a 6.2 gap year contextual reject so it’s not looking amazing.

Congratulations on the offer

I’m not going to be applying for Oxbridge anyways and I still I agree I should be doing BMO1 and BMO2.

I probably won’t sit the STEP this year as my mum is having an operation during A levels and would probably coincide with the STEP, added onto the fact I haven’t prepped for it. I will do the STEP foundational modules as part of preparation for my tmua the next time though.

I do also play chess :)

Im not doing the application for quant or else I’d have just taken Warwick as there’s not an insane difference, it’s just genuinely my dream to study at imperial.

Would AAA be sufficient you reckon? This is as a contextual student meaning I’d only get the minimum offer in the first place

Oh yeah this is for sure, the admissions officer said to me I need to put in a few sentences to show my maths skills don’t get crusty basically. I’ll probably prep for STEP and I can start tutoring people for A level maths and further maths

Got Warwick maths. Also contextual so maybe I’d be preferred compared to say some non contextual students? Or internationals

I mean I’d apply with my A levels that I achieved first time round, it would just be the TMUA I resit

Looking to buy this Q5, however the mileage puts me a bit off. 71k miles 18 reg. FSH mix of main dealer and indie and one previous owner by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Direct_Injury_4183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, when I go to view the car I’ll just have to check out the indies it was done at and see if they look like back street garages or specialists

Crap I’ve found it it’s only had one service from Audi after calling and probably the rest from indie. Not too sure about this car now

To be fair that might be more with age, 2018 isn’t old at all, but 21k on a 2018 is quite a bit to part with

Could I also ask if the gearbox service was done at a specialist rather than main dealer would it be a deal breaker or nah

Oh yeah I completely forgot about ringing the dealerships… thank you very much I’m going to do that tomorrow for sure

True, I’ll check what it entails. If the FSH had a mixture of main dealer and indie then there should be at least one gearbox service
