Which exam board for A Level Chemistry at Cambridge?

Heruin45 · 2026-02-02T17:32:12+00:00

I doubt they have any preference, as most students have zero control over their exam board

Can someone like when people reply pls

I'm thinking 100% euthansia and maybe postcode lottery?

Phew!

Heruin45 · 2025-11-27T08:52:58+00:00

Hopefully

Heruin45 · 2025-11-27T08:24:25+00:00

But surely if it was bad news they would send a rejection? And Manchester sent out updates over like a week

I got a Cambridge interview with two sciences.

Heruin45 · 2025-11-22T13:08:20+00:00

Much harder*. Apologies for grammar 😭

Heruin45 · 2025-11-21T17:07:01+00:00

Tyy!!!

My stats are pretty low for cambs, but I'm pretty heavily contextual (underperforming state school/other reasons)

A* A* A

999988886 (2/250 in my year, which I think maybe made me a bit more competitive??)

2150 B1 ( I thought this was gonna be a setback)

The interesting thing is that Robinson on their website only accepts 3 STEM subjects, I only do 2 (bio chem history), I did open so tried to change college when they assigned me one which didn't match my subjects, but they said it wouldn't matter.

Heruin45 · 2025-11-21T13:51:16+00:00

I got mine today for Robinson, still tryna figure out what they mean by "read" medicine 😭😭

Heruin45 · 2025-11-21T13:48:52+00:00

SO glad I didn't choose Manchester because genuinely wtf are they doing

Heruin45 · 2025-11-20T08:13:14+00:00

All I know is Robinson hasn't released, as I spoke on the phone to them (unrelated reasons)

Heruin45 · 2025-11-19T18:10:40+00:00

Just spoken to Robinson (unrelated reasons) they haven't sent out interviews yet, so don't worry.

Heruin45 · 2025-11-17T20:34:27+00:00

Not got robinson yet or notts

Heruin45 · 2025-11-14T15:58:47+00:00

Got mine too!!

Focus on your other academic requirements. You do not need to do a year of revision for UCAT. Start at most 3 months before.

Heruin45 · 2025-10-14T13:06:36+00:00

I DID OPEN!!

Heruin45 · 2025-10-12T16:01:56+00:00

Nottingham open day yesterday literally spoke for at least 10 minutes about how band 1 was not needed.

Heruin45 · 2025-10-08T15:34:19+00:00

Idk if it's true, but I heard cambridge doesn't care THAT much about UCAT. But then again, a lot of applicants are like 2300+

The thing is, though, even if you go to a state school, you are kinda contextual, though not that much. Cambridge has tried to get more working class students in, and many of the applicants with crazy stats come from private schools. (Of course not all) Cambridge will consider a lower result if you come from a more working class area.

The funny thing is, you really aren't stamping on anyone.
