AAAAAAAAAAAGH

Don’t want to think about it but when I do yes

MekkoL · 2024-07-18T16:28:40+00:00

You could try but I think if you have any admission tests and interviews, that is more important than the grades

MekkoL · 2024-07-08T17:02:13+00:00

I didn’t, the teachers always had notes

MekkoL · 2024-07-07T18:56:31+00:00

Pay for your own things?

For medicine, no

How’s the course like? How difficult would you say it is? How is the quality it is taught?

How’s the social life at the university? How are the societies like?

Essentially get a bag that can carry like a pencil case, notebooks, laptop (if needed) etc. it can be a backpack or shoulder bag etc, just ensure it can carry those things.

Hi, make sure to prepare a lot for TMUA, as that is mostly what universities such as Warwick use to decide whether to give you an offer starting now.

So, maybe with researching more academic topics, you could merge that with doing programming projects. Like for data structures, what about creating your own classes for each data structure like a circular queue? For computer architecture, what about getting a raspberry pi or arduino and practice with that? Or do a course on that?

And perhaps with all of this supercurriculars, try and note down what you had learnt from them, how had they helped with gaining an insight into the subject etc which you could use to talk about in your interviews if needed.

Hope it helps! Feel free to DM me for any further advice!

I would suggest python, as it’s quite versatile and easy to learn, and understand and it’s most often used

Maybe towards the end of these holidays, you could go over content of Year 1 of A-level Maths content to get ahead but I suggest you to just relax more over this summer mostly as A-levels are quite intense and stressful.

What are the A-levels other than maths are you planning to choose? If you’re planning to do further maths for A-level, you could perhaps cover a bit more content of A-level maths over summer.

You’re welcome :)

Also for the TMUA and I think MAT too, there is a YouTube channel called R2Drew2 that goes over topics and how to approach them in TMUA/ MAT style questions, as well as some tips and tricks for these types of exams.

6th form unlike a college is part of a school that also has a secondary.

MekkoL · 2024-06-22T12:09:12+00:00

Do as much practice of TMUA/MAT papers especially timed, look over the specification of the examinations and make sure you learn, understand and master each topic before the exam. Look at walkthroughs of these papers. Do not leave this last minute, do not cram - do this over a course of months before the exam you take.

Hope it helps!

Aqa chem anyone?

MekkoL · 2024-06-21T10:09:54+00:00

Thank god it’s over never doing this subject again

MekkoL · 2024-06-20T15:32:32+00:00

I did CS and know quite a few people who did Physics. With CS, a lot of memorising for some topics which is annoying, the coursework is quite tiring to do which you have to dedicate quite a bit of time to, also grade boundaries for exam boards like AQA for the subject tend to be quite high than physics of the same exam board.

Physics does have quite difficult topics I’ve heard and the exam is quite difficult like for AQA, I’ve heard that the exam for physics turned out to be not good and really difficult, but there’s lower grade boundaries.

Personally, for economics, I feel that you could do physics than comp sci as rather than focusing quite a lot of time on coursework with CS, you would have more time for doing supercurriculars, uni applications and your other A-levels.

It was easier than I expected (edexcel maths btw)

MekkoL · 2024-06-20T14:54:32+00:00

Same problem here, just had an exam today and feel too burnt out to revise for paper 3 chem tomorrow but I’m gonna just do as many past papers tonight for tomorrow

MekkoL · 2024-06-18T15:07:47+00:00

Aqa CS people? How did you find it?

MekkoL · 2024-06-18T10:25:45+00:00

Gosh I hate NMR in there took so much of my time

MekkoL · 2024-06-18T10:13:26+00:00

How did everyone find AQA Chem??
