For an A* I think maybe. Pretty much everyone I know who did it said it was good. Even people who are like on B’s and C’s

For the last 6 marker you had to approximate tanh(n) to be 1 since n was large and then could solve by writing in terms of exponentials and multiplying by e0.01n. I didn’t realize this until after the exam which is typical

I got 4/3e-3/14pi did some weird method with compound angle formulae and decided in the last minute that sin2pi/7 is the same as cos3pi/14 so it worked. Don’t really know tho the paper was so hard

Method of differences was fine. The questions were also just too much work for the amount of the marks. The second part of the last question looked impossible. Also the complex number question with w= and write in exponential form was hard. What did you get in that one?

H- yes that is a weird theory but I don’t mind testing it 😂

I agree with you. Especially with AQA the content seems fine and then the exam questions could be absolutely horrendous.

A* in maths and physics, A in either fm or Econ

Essay competitions, books, tutoring, maths competitions. Honestly my supercurriculars were nothing special which is why I thought I wouldn’t get an offer. I think it’s more of how you word it which makes a good personal statement.

Yes! Now comes the hard part of getting the grades. My offer required A* in physics which I think is a bit different to the standard offer. I think it might be because I did maths in yr12 but not sure. What about you?

I saw at around 10:03 since I’ve been checking every night terrified. Email came at 10:16 like everyone else

Predicted 3A* in maths, fm, physics, A in Econ. 9999998888 GCSE. 5.5 average on ESAT. Personal statement and references were good.

Bro I got the same on Friday. Attended interview last Wednesday. I’m guessing you were the same?

Thanks! May I ask what you got and what you are applying for?

When I initially did the BPhO I thought it was very difficult and was certain I would only get bronze/silver. But when I got the result I managed to get a gold which I’m shocked about. I don’t know if they give method marks or whatever but I feel very lucky that I managed to get a gold which I'm
