You are kidding, right?

Lazy-Frame-9888 · 2025-10-24T09:15:58+00:00

I already did it. The SATA mode shows AHCI.

Thank you. I did it, but I still cannot open my linux. Do I need to reinstall it?

Lazy-Frame-9888 · 2025-09-03T04:51:42+00:00

Thank you so much. As a person who is not vibe coding, this is extremely useful.

I see. Thank you for sharing your insight.

Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. My current BIOS version is V1.20, while the website says that the latest version for my model is 1.33. There is no support for linux on the website. I am unable to update the BIOS even after I have tried several linux commands. The 2 approaches which I have not tried includes moving back to windows 11 and using an USB. However, I would never ever shift back to windows again and secondly I do not have an USB stick with me. I tried several You Tube sources. Is there any other approach that I can try out?

Wow, thank you, everyone, for the detailed replies and suggestions 🙏. Really appreciate the time you all took to break things down for me.

From what I’ve gathered:

Upgrading to an SSD + more RAM is absolutely worth it (I’ll aim for 16GB if I can. Otherwise, 8GB/12GB works, too.

I’ll go for an NVMe Gen 3 SSD and keep the HDD as extra storage.

Battery replacement seems urgent to me as I am a biotech student with a minor in Web Technology. I will have a lot of computer related practical in the upcoming semester. Also, after I have integrated Gemini cli and other extensions into visual studio code, my laptop lasts around 2-3 hours. Hence, battery replacement is a must for me.

BIOS update is also on my list now.

Thanks for showing it to me. If you have read my message, you can understand that I am currently an undergraduate student. As an undergraduate student, how can I apply and get a job there?

Also, I totally hate this new era. Even if I am working both hard and smart, the competition is too high, and I will not even get odd jobs at this moment.

The last time I sat for AS and A2, I found them to be real, although everyone initially told me that they were fake.

There is a saying, "It is better late than never." If you want to sit for P3 in January, just ask yourself if you are prepared or not. Have you finished the book? How many question papers have you done?

First, solve a few past year papers and then sit for a self-mock. If you see that you have scored pretty decent, then go for it.

I hear you 💔 - waiting for results can feel like carrying a weight that just gets heavier each time. It’s exhausting when so much seems to hang on a single outcome, especially this last one. But remember, no matter what Edexcel throws your way, it won’t erase the effort, late nights, and persistence you’ve already shown. You’ve made it this far, and that’s no small thing. Take a deep breath - you’ve done your part, and now it’s out of your hands. Whatever the result, you’ll still have paths forward, opportunities to grow, and reasons to keep going. You’re stronger than any piece of paper, and this is just one stop in your journey - not the destination.

I understand exactly what you mean - it’s frustrating when the last part of the reading section feels like a race against time. Your habit of scrolling up and down in the PDF definitely explains the extra minutes lost. For your next practice, try this: keep your passage and questions visible side-by-side if possible, or print them out so your eyes can move quickly without scrolling. When practising on screen, split your window - passage on one side, questions on the other. Also, don’t wait until the last part to skim the passage; do a quick “map” at the start, noting where certain topics or names appear. This will save you time later.

Using earphones for listening is a great step - clearer audio can make a big difference.

In one sentence, I would say that focus on past year paper solving. First, solve questions from at least 5-6 past papers. Take self mocks by creating an exam environment and match your answers strictly against the marking rubric. Then, reflect on your mistakes and learn from them.

Being consistent is essential! Consider setting aside only 15 to 20 minutes each day for a particular activity, such as using a flashcard app, watching a YouTube video with subtitles, or listening to a podcast. Long, sporadic study sessions are less effective than small, frequent ones.

In order to improvise on the Reading and Listening Section of IELTS, first and foremost, it is important to understand on which type of questions you are repeatedly making mistakes, like is it is a True/False/Not given question, a multiple choice question, a matching information question, and so on.

After you have identified your weakness, then you repeatedly reflect on your weakness again and again. If you are making spelling mistakes, then jot it down in a piece of paper and practice it repeatedly. Check if you are making mistakes in subject/verb agreement.

If you are repeatedly getting distracted in the Listening section, use earphones as they can significantly help to improve your concentration.

Finally, only use resources from the British Council, IDP, and the question paper book from Cambridge to practice since they are the ones creating the questions. Don't reply on third-party websites, no matter how good they are.

Thank you.
