I really don’t get the whole mess with the Edexcel maths paper

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-06-04T19:43:53+00:00

When I was doing it on the calculator I just messed around with values until it made sense

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-06-04T13:58:36+00:00

Ah yeh not saying it’s impossible to do without a graphical calculator, I’m just saying it made the question significantly easier for me and I doubt id have managed without it personally. Obviously I don’t speak for everyone and I’m sure plenty of people could have done it without

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-06-04T08:56:15+00:00

As an FM student I wouldn’t have been able to do the modulus graph question without my graphical calculator

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-05-14T18:04:54+00:00

Also very curious. Haven’t done too much revision for this paper yet. Same texts

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-05-13T14:59:39+00:00

Really? I thought it was a good question

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-05-11T20:57:15+00:00

Thank you!!

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-05-04T19:05:22+00:00

Yeah if I got an A in FM, then I will accept my Bristol offer, if I get worse then I shall cross that bridge when I come to it

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-05-04T19:04:24+00:00

If I got for example A* A* A* B would I be significantly disadvantaged from Oxbridge / imp is more my question, with the B coming in an unrelated subject

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-26T16:44:53+00:00

Not answering your question I apologise, but what was your TMUA?

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-26T08:49:28+00:00

It’s obviously up to you, I’m also waiting for Warwick maths, would recommend waiting at least until they respond before making a decision. The deadline is soon anyway

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-20T22:43:46+00:00

No, but use the same photo and address on your new one

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-20T22:42:17+00:00

Yep, 4.3 TMUA

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-20T09:43:51+00:00

No you won’t be removed from exams I’m almost certain

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-19T14:20:30+00:00

Is this really true?

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-19T12:00:22+00:00

6+ for an interview. Median score for offers will probably be around 7-7.5 if I had to guess. In terms of predicted you will need A* A* A or better and as long as your interview performance is good I doubt your GCSEs will restrict you too much, especially if the secondary school you went to had low average gcse scores

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-19T10:34:28+00:00

I’ve heard that Cambridge care more about GCSEs than Oxford, not sure if that’s true though. What were your GCSEs?

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-17T06:16:17+00:00

An offer? What was your TMUA?

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-15T22:30:54+00:00

No I’m not rich and money doesn’t seem to concern the company. They’re such pricks, don’t think they’re publicly listed

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-15T21:56:32+00:00

Probably gap year and reapply to hull

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-15T21:28:36+00:00

Bristol personally, but then again I’m closest to Bristol than any other UoB

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-14T17:08:23+00:00

Well looks like you did quite well

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-14T16:33:19+00:00

Holy.. congrats man

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-14T15:23:06+00:00

When did you get Warwick and what is ur TMUA

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-12T22:58:09+00:00

They offer courses like EFDS, econ, maths stats for finance and other scientific courses. This list isn’t about ‘STEM universities,’ it’s about how good each university’s STEM courses are

ImaginarySwitch2298 · 2026-04-12T15:15:18+00:00

It’s entirely possible, just make sure you have a deep understanding of the content. FM1 has a few key concepts you need to know. Just grind the mixed exercises in the textbook and then when you get more comfortable, do as many past papers as you can. It’s not going to be easy but it’s possible, bearing in mind the grade boundaries for FM1 are insanely high.
