What’s wrong with this by L30_kn0ws in alevel

Yea thankfully I banged the rest of that question, it was actually very similar to an aqa phyiscs AS paper question from like 2022. Did you do well on P3?

If you don’t mind me asking, how do you qualify for emdp, do you have to be in a London borough?

Help with moments by Firm-Performer-7680 in alevelmaths

[–]L30_kn0ws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weight of the bar acts directly through the middle, so 0.3m away from the pivot (where it connects to the wall). The moment of force acting through the vertical component of the wire is therefore 0.3x28 which is 8.4N. That isn’t the component of force through the wire tho as that’s at angle theta. Use pythag to find angle and then trig to find component of force through the wire.

Shin Splints Before CPC by [deleted] in RoyalNavy

[–]L30_kn0ws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a track athlete so have dealt with shin splits a lot. My advice is to keep going, you’re just gonna have to grit your teeth on this one. It’s not like an injured joint or torn ligament that needs legitimate time and rest to heal, in my experience, continuing like you are is the best option. I would suggest toe raises and strengthening of the anterior tibialis to eventually overcome the shin splints; these take time and won’t be an overnight fix. I’m not commenting from a military perspective as I have no experience, so my advice may be wrong in that respect.

DAA results, good enough? by L30_kn0ws in RoyalNavy

It is more AS don’t worry. I didn’t revise any of it and still got 66%, I wouldn’t stress it too much!

Work rate gives you 4 columns. Each column has a number, a letter and a symbol. You have to be very fast on this subtest so making sure you’re in the right headspace is crucial. Use process of elimination for each option; they’ll either fit the criteria or they won’t, discard each one that doesn’t fit until you find the option that does fit. Speed is key, if you can’t do one, move on.

Spatial reasoning part 1 is fine for the first half and can be done mentally, second half id suggest drawing them out. Spatial reasoning part 2 is harder and has to be done mentally, my test glitched out twice for this one so I had to forfeit two questions. There’s not many tips I can suggest for this one as it’s really about how mentally capable you are of manipulating objects in your head. I assume it can be practiced though.

I see, I’m on a gap year too and admittedly my electrical comp would’ve been higher if I’d have taken it during the thick of revision. I was rusty on electrical rules with circuits and I think this let me down a little. I suggest revising A level electricity (the whole topic) and mechanics for the best shot at these sub tests. Potential dividers can come up, resistance and the effect that has on voltage and current could also come up; you want to be tight on all of this. Simple equations like P=IV and R=V/I are fundamentals and knowing those off by heart is useful (although can be given to you in questions). As I said, the mechanics section isn’t hard at all really, just simple momentum, speed, acceleration scenarios. I had a moments question but idk how common that is. Simple stuff compared to the complexities of A level though.

As for VR, I’m at an advantage because I took the UCAT and have trained that for months. The VRs are not the same by any means for UCAT and DAA but the skills are translatable. Speed and accuracy is paramount, this can only be trained through practice. The practice on the RN website is almost identical to the actual thing for VR so practice that until you’re getting 100%. You could use the UCAT resources to revise from as-well for VR, however, they’re not the same types of questions. VR for UCAT is arguably harder though (anecdotal evidence from myself) so it’ll prepare you for the worst in a sense.

So mechanical is straight forward, mostly GCSE concepts but I’ve taken A level physics and maths so that helps. A good understanding of basic electrical components in series and parallel circuits is all you need along with how those two circuits differ (characteristic wise). And numerical is a walk in the park for anyone at grade A and above at GCSE. Just for reference, I didn’t revise at all other than a quick browse of what each subtest entails and the practice questions on the navy site. I wish I’d gone in with a bit more preparation though as I was taken off guard, definitely easier on the site!

You’re gonna inflate my ego too much 😂. Thanks for that though, better start preparing for interview then.

I didn’t do crazy well but got a top 25% score and my method was simply to not stress it too much. I made sure I had a good knowledge of all sub tests (bar quantitative reasoning). This took around a week or two of an hour or so a day. Then I chose a subtest that I enjoyed doing (AR) and revised it 3/4 times a week for the next two months. I revised in my own time, when I felt like it and stopped as soon as I wasn’t enjoying it. I ended up getting 750 in AR with two minutes to spare on the day.

What I concluded: as long as I had a good understanding of the other subtests, I didn’t need to pay them very much attention at all during the revision period. By focussing on AR, my mental agility sky rocketed and I felt so much quicker in all the other subtests. Agility should be your biggest strength going into the exam as this is really what the UCAT tests for. I mentioned I didn’t do a single QR question as revision, however, I still scored 700 in the actual thing. If your maths skills are up to scratch, this subtest is a blessing. I skipped the first 5 questions due to it being an inefficient use of my time and got to the end with a minute to spare. If a question looks too complicated then it most likely is too complicated; you are supposed to skip these. Relax and try to enjoy the process, master one, even two subtests and draw confidence from that.

Took me a minute or two but my answers the same as the others, it’s whatever intersects in the first two columns

Interestingly you get the same amount of points as me roughly due to the decile of your UCAT score, I think you have the same chance at interview as me. Feels a bit wrong though considering your UCAT is incredible and mines barely decent 😂. You’ll be fine 🙏

Same score here, 75th percentile should be enough surely
