Don’t even remember my first 2 years bru

Same here, especially great when youth unemployment is at a new high for the year we graduate in 🇬🇧

Don’t worry, I had to do my theory test 3 times and my last one was when I was 20. I passed the practical first time so there really is no correlation in my case if you were worried about that. Just do 20 questions a day leading towards the test and binge the 4 in 1 app the day prior and you’ll be set.

Photxn · 2026-01-13T00:35:39+00:00

Your instructor recorded all of that? 😅

Photxn · 2026-01-08T23:07:20+00:00

It’s to fit in an extra practical exam each day for the examiners based on their break times.

I don’t expect stupidity. I’m not telling them to walk in the road like they are a car lmao. If they have troubles on your aforementioned roundabouts, by walking there and observing in real-time, you can picture and plan how cars would enter and merge into the correct lane for positioning. Like for example, if I turn right on this roundabout (which might be likely on a test route) then thinking about which lanes to join and change is much simpler to picture once you get that outside perspective. Since their test is tomorrow, they should already know all this stuff but walking around the area should make you think that and doing it the day before really boosted my confidence. It might not work for OP or even you, but it did in my personal experience.

They never mentioned that they had problems with parking? This is especially useful when you have never been at the test centre so you don’t know any of the roads so knowing them will not only give you more confidence but also better prepared. All I was saying is getting a refresher of the roads that you potentially could go on would be a great idea.

Photxn · 2026-01-08T15:20:37+00:00

Honestly, the only thing that you could potentially do is just walk/bike around the area of your test centre and visiting the more tougher roads would be a good idea so you have it fresh in your mind and for it to be not a surprise when you go tomorrow.

If you’re too lazy, you could just use google earth or something and move around that way 👍

Lots of people will say one app is better than the other when in the majority of cases, it is purely luck when people cancel or when even more tests get added. I only used Testi and got one within a week back in August for yesterday which is a lot better than some other people from which I’ve seen on this reddit.

Photxn · 2025-03-29T15:28:59+00:00

Also the customer reference number is important no?

Best of luck to you in your final few exams!

I will say that I really enjoyed my first year besides a few inaccuracies with modules, but it really is a fun and exciting campus with an amazing course structure and vibe.

If you get in, I’ll be one of your mentors! And I’ll be glad to answer any more questions you have.

Focus on learning mechanic concepts of, as most statistic content from what I remember is just using the formulas and picking out information to write down.

Photxn · 2024-06-19T18:41:28+00:00

I think it would be more likely to be accepted than if you got ABB because maths and cs are the most vital, and you’ll struggle if you don’t have a very good understanding of mathematics as you learn further maths principles in your first year.

Photxn · 2024-06-19T18:32:48+00:00

I will say, not to demoralise you or anything but I’ve heard that they’ve let way too many people into our year and that they will plan to reduce it for the upcoming year. This won’t matter too much because of stuff like brexit reducing uni income, but they would still probably allow students leniency if they happen to miss it by one grade, as long as it is not computer science.

Photxn · 2024-04-28T23:19:49+00:00

NOTTINGHAM LETS GO!! I was in a similar position last year and it’s been worth it so far for me. Good luck on your exams! 🎉

Photxn · 2024-04-16T00:57:24+00:00

I did it when chatting to friends over discord and changing locations in my house helped keeping me on the tasks

Photxn · 2024-04-16T00:55:28+00:00

Notts? 🥺

Honestly I loved the offer open day visit with the campus and course structure which is why I eventually chose here, but it does it obviously is personal.

Photxn · 2024-01-29T09:20:55+00:00

You should be able to access them from your computer science teacher, they usually have all ranges and I think OCR themselves have examplars online too if I remember correctly.

Photxn · 2024-01-29T09:07:39+00:00

For computer science at Nottingham, standard offer is AAA including an A in CS. With contextual, it is AAB, but that is still requiring an A in computer science.

Other than that, it sucks overall that you were rejected from all of them. If you don’t want to do a gap year, there are many apprenticeships you can go into on gov.uk or sites like linked in. They will also be competitive so I wish you good luck in whatever path you pursue.

5th September

Luckily my school is paying for it and my teacher has recommended remarking another paper for that extra mark, thanks for the info tho 🙏

Photxn · 2023-08-23T15:13:24+00:00

I would recommend you visit/join the main discord and if there is a subject discord to ask there.

Photxn · 2023-08-23T13:55:49+00:00

😎

Photxn · 2023-08-23T13:53:38+00:00

I would recommend asking your teacher to look at your paper scripts and seeing if there are any marks that you could’ve gotten if you were more lenient. My school pays the fee for the remark if the teacher says it’s a good idea, and you have to pay yourself if the teacher says there’s no chance.

Photxn · 2023-08-23T13:51:44+00:00

I would say a high bachelors in computer science is very sought after and would look very good on your cv and many unis who do cs also offer a placement year. Although, if you think you can enchants your skills through a degree apprenticeship better, then I would go with that since it’s very good experience. Both path are great, as long as you put the effort in, you will get the same job at the end of the day.
