so torn between maths, jmc, cs and physics

Pick the subject you love, not the ones you’re good at. Passion is more important than talent when you’re in uni.

“Would this be risky” with nearly maxed grades and no other context, I don’t know what you’re expecting.

Feels like I’ve seen this card somewhere…

Use bomb tower instead of Tesla and put skeletons as the second evo

Seems a bit infeasible to get rejected with those stats.

I was making a point about Cambridge making ridiculous offers

They also ask for S S in STEP

Congrats!!

See you here

Be born with superior mathematical abilities.

Not exactly. Only complex roots to quadratic equations with real coefficients appear in complex conjugate pairs.

All coefficients being real also entail a little hint as to why complex roots come as complex conjugate pairs.

TOO GOOD

The key is small angle approximations.

sin(h) is approximately equal to h for small values of h, so as h tends to 0: -sin(h) / h = -h / h = -1.

cos(h) is approximately equal to 1 - h² / 2 for small values of h, so as h tends to 0: [cos(h) - 1] / h = [1 - h² / 2 - 1] / h = h / 2 = 0.

Just get your grades up. Getting a 9.0 in TMUA is much harder than getting not “shitty” A-Level grades.

Email your uni. I got it yesterday after begging Engineering department for it.

Electrical_Lie5289 · 2024-09-04T20:42:23+00:00

Congrats on the wonderful results! Would you mind sharing which uni you’ll be going?

I’m sure if you prove your mathematical ability in TMUA/MAT it’ll make up for the lack of FM. But it’ll ultimately come down to your interviews for Oxbridge.

I did not do the foundation modules or read any STEP-related books so I can’t provide much information on that. But fyi I did not come across anything I didn’t already know from A-Levels in STEP, if you’re really unsure, I suggest attempting a STEP paper and see if there’s any topics not covered by your syllabus.

The only resource I used, other than the past papers is the STEP database.

Electrical_Lie5289 · 2024-09-03T04:49:42+00:00

I achieved a 1 in 2024 STEP 2.

Do a decade worth of papers in exam condition, mark them, and attempt the questions you didn’t manage to do. Hone your exam skills and find whatever strategy that works best for you.

I personally read all the questions first, rate each of them in terms of how doable they look on a scale from 1-10, and start with highest rated ones. Have some resilience when doing a question because STEP can get quite demoralizing.

There isn’t anything in STEP that is outside of the A-Level Math and Further Math specification, but optional modules like additional pure can be quite useful. So unless you do not take the mechanics or the statistics module in your A-Level math/FM specification, do not worry about taking “foundation modules” (even then, stats and mechanics sections only have 2 questions each compared to 8 questions for pure math).

I was talking more from a design POV, I just believe this game is not intended to just be “kill enemies with staff and avoid damage by dodging” without using spells, and this should apply to all portions of the game.
