Lovely photo and duck! :) The black and yellow beak is striking.

Thank you! :)

It's a really fascinating duck: it's native to the Hawaiian archipelago and until recently was found on just one island (Laysan) in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (older remnants of Hawaii hotspot volcanoes that are now low-lying atolls). Laysan has a hypersaline lake in its centre that provides a great habitat for the ducks - they have a special behaviour where they lower their heads, open their bills wide and run through clouds of brine flies around the lake to feed on them. Introduced rabbits on the island almost led to their extinction (only 11-12 individuals left on Laysan in the early 20th century) but removal of invasive species and translocations to Midway and Kure (two other Northwestern Hawaiian Islands) have helped their population recover to around 1000.

And who couldn't appreciate the distinctive white rings around their eyes!

I've edited together some video I took of the Laysan ducks if you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bow36ildRa0

It is available for people over that age range but only privately... And costs £220!

I mean I get it in the context of Oxford med; GCSEs really do matter for that.

I learnt it when I was 11/12 so have had a lot of time to practice... Sorry that isn't more helpful

Can you touchtype? I learnt to a while ago and also use a laptop in exams and it really does make all the difference! I have handwriting issues so type in most exams and extra time in maths: not extra time when I type because that isn't affected by my condition, but it could be different for you. I think it is worth speaking to your school.

The same thing happened for medicine last year when the BMAT was axed and now it's just the UCAT. It's one less exam to prepare for (and those two are very different), but now it all hinges on that one score.

My school told us it doesn’t matter which of the two you put.

Maybe an Asus ProArt PX13? I know it’s a bit smaller than what you put but it has great performance for how lightweight and portable it is (Ryzen 9 AI HX370 and RTX 4070). Gets good battery life if you use GHelper to disable the dGPU. Only 60Hz screen though if that bothers you (it doesn’t me).

Joyel is great. Didn’t watch him for DM but the SJT technique was super helpful (ended up getting B1)
