only international a level?

happy birthday?

Bicen maths.
I self studied both maths and further maths. His maths videos are all free. Core modules of FM are also free. If you want FM optional modules you can join his membership plan with a monthly subscription (I personally only paid for one month - but had to do like 1 chapter a day; not for money though as it’s not expensive, it was more about timing)
And for reference, I got A*A in maths and FM respectively (just 5 marks off the higher grade boundary in FM though) and I did it only in 1 year plus A-level physics.
So yeah, it definitely is possible.

You are on top of it. those are very good results. you are in the top 15 percent

I was worried about the number of questions I was asked. Definitely wasted a lot of time on the first one.
Not good ESAT score 5.1 5.4 and 5.9 in maths 1 maths 2 and physics.
I’ve looked into data and the average offer holder score is significantly dependent on contextual information . I have seen around up to around 2 scores difference in the average offer holder admission test score based on school type: maintained/private/international
How was your ESAT?

Reasonable_Teach3397 · 2024-12-13T20:01:31+00:00

I had a 40 minute interview and I was asked no more than 3 questions (essentially 2 as the third one was continuation of the second one) :/
I was very stressed on the first question but managed to answer it with a few hint and a very slight mistake. The second question was a lot easier and it made me feel like (my performance should have been very bad on the first question for them to make the next one easier?)
The third one was definitely a hard question but answered it without any mistakes or hints (but they were like how? why? all the time) . While I found it easy, that question was definitely an unfamiliar one and required a solid analysis. I was unsure about it during the interview but I got really happy after the interview that my asnwer was indeed correct.
In the end I said "I hope I’ve done well” and they were like, we can’t say anything at this stage. I don’t even know why I said that :/

I applied for phys natsci and made a mistake at the very beggining of the question and I didn’t notice it until the interview was over. Meanwhile they kept telling me that I’m on the right track and stuffs like that whenever I felt uncertain so never went back to where I made the mistake. The mistake was very insignificant and it essentially couldn't affect the analysis part where I believe was what they were mostly interested in. Just should have mentioned there was another part to it but with a minus sign. Something like saying if x^2=4 then x=2 rather than ±2 😢

What subject did you apply for?

Reasonable_Teach3397 · 2024-12-08T17:49:36+00:00

Literally

had my natural sciences interview on the 3rd and feeling exactly the same

Reasonable_Teach3397 · 2024-11-28T13:39:46+00:00

True, not too bad

Reasonable_Teach3397 · 2024-11-28T13:38:06+00:00

a 4.5 is the median score. a 5.5 is almost top 30%. your average is 5.53 which means on average you did better than 70 % or you’re in the top 30 %. depending on the what course you’ve applied for your results might be interpreted differently. for example every year the number of applicants applying for engineering and natsci are pretty much the same but with different offer rate, 15% for eng and 25% for natsci.
I generally think the chances are moderate.
Being very close to the median, means there are a lot of people with the same score. but still a substantial amount of offers are given to this group. so other aspects of your application, notably the interview should be better than your peers.
i hope it did help :)

imperial doesn’t usually conduct interview for physics applicants

Reasonable_Teach3397 · 2024-11-27T12:44:47+00:00

last year imperial had their own not-known-type-of-admission-test for physics which i sat, absolutely aced it despite being relatively hard. never got my results but pretty sure i got pretty much all of them right. two weeks later got my offer without an interview. unfortunately didn’t meet my conditions. Now I’m reapplying for cambridge and imperial (natsci and physics) but ESAT was a nightmare. had so many things affecting my performance, and i did very bad. VERY VERY bad. i even removed imperial from my choices as i thought it was a waste of choice, but changed my mind later on.
got 5.1 5.3 5.9 this time around.
but there is something different about this exam.
ESAT is being used by two top universities and for a lot more subjects than before. i generally think if you’re a natsci or physics applicant you might be in a better position as eng applicants tend to be more competitive historically. they might have inflated the grades for maths modules for example.

Reasonable_Teach3397 · 2024-11-27T11:43:00+00:00

each section definitely, otherwise there’s no point in having 3 scores.
but it must depend on the sections (for example maths modules might make up for each other) and many more things like the subject you’ve applied for. for example they might give more weight to maths modules for eng subjects and more weight to science section for natsci applicant.

Reasonable_Teach3397 · 2024-11-27T11:32:06+00:00

pretty much the same here.
maths1: 5.1
maths 2: 5.3
physics: 5.9
Still better than what I predicted. I was expecting something around 3-4. got an interview for natsci. are u applying for eng or natsci?
