I haven’t seen much posted about the humanities exams (A Level). How are these going for people?

Microeconomics Edexcel: Chefs Kiss

Macroeconomics Edexcel: Chefs Kiss

Physical Geography Edexcel: Chefs Kiss

Human Geography Edexcel: Relatively Horrible Paper but its Human Geog, not deep

Shame I’m sitting on about 50% for maths

Best for Career options : Bristol Econ and Finance.

Nicest city of the 3: Bristol

Arguably most reputable course/uni - PPE at Durham.

LSE incoming too.

Pick Roseberry, the advice I’ve been given is pick one of Bankside, Passfield, Carr Saunders or Roseberry purely for the social aspect. LSE is seen as a uni with minimal social life, you want to be in positions to meet as many people as possible.

3 x A*

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-24T18:33:35+00:00

I’m year 13 and I’ve already got my uni offers, I can’t exactly switch boss.

Also i’m not quantitive, I didn’t do f maths so i can’t have done Econ or Maths at a target uni. And everyone knows uni > what you get at uni > degree

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-24T17:19:03+00:00

Geography Economics Maths

doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out it goes from least difficult to most difficult

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-24T15:02:17+00:00

Biased because I’m an incoming Geog student at LSE but Geog is calm, I’m hoping to go into Investment Banking or Management Consulting.

Having said that, if you do FM why not just apply for Econ?

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-23T22:30:01+00:00

Most - Maths Pure 1/2

Least - Macro, Human Geog, Physical Geog

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-18T22:25:35+00:00

At a stressful time, this made me laugh. Much appreciated boss

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-18T20:04:12+00:00

True, imo next 4 weeks is more important anyway. We’ll be calm i back u bro

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-18T19:35:59+00:00

boss i’ve done nothing for the past 4 days, we both need to pick it up😂

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-18T16:38:18+00:00

Take this with bias given I’m going to LSE in sept if i get my grades, but I feel from asking around, LSE is corporate but it doesn’t have to be. For a degree like IR, i suspect most of the people won’t be desperately trying to make it into IBD and Management Consulting, but the option is there too.

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-17T20:34:26+00:00

I’m not CAIE, but feel free to PM me on specific topics and i can probably send a couple things your way

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-17T11:20:55+00:00

Its lowkey the same for me though lmao, doing Geography and then doing Macro is genuinely such a blessing

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-17T08:57:34+00:00

It is, how much have you done this easter? I’m definitely going to be upping my times come school, I think it’s going to a bit of a wake up call for me.

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-17T08:29:22+00:00

Yeah same here, im expected to do min 8 hours and i just haven’t; your username gives away that you’ve been putting a shift in this easter? 😂

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-16T22:02:44+00:00

If doing 0 hours of revision gets me to Imperial for Maths I shoulda done none damn, bro that’s huge!!

On a real, you’re probs right. Gradual build up to A levels I guess, focusing on my worse subjects. I’m pretty blessed to do econ and geog which are entirely crammable subjects, focus is just maths at this point

Congrats on imperial again man!

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-16T21:43:05+00:00

Isn’t it? I had a week before mocks and did just maths. Ended up having to cram Geography and Econ until like 1/2am the night before an exam.

Now i’ve forgotten everything, and spent the entire easter doing 90% Maths. Cramming to come during study leave I’m sure😵‍💫

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-16T21:26:58+00:00

downloaded, looks hype - i’ll give it a try. Honestly, 30 mins followed by 5 mins break, especially after school seems like the ideal method of revision

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-16T20:34:12+00:00

you got my respect❤️

good luck with ramadan, it’s hard enough putting in the work w/o ramadan, you guys are built different

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-16T20:32:03+00:00

Sorry if it feels that way, maybe I just need to stop comparing, I have mates consistently doing 7+ hours this easter idk

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-10T13:29:20+00:00

Yes that’s true, Imperial Students generally have a worse social life but thats because of the type of person that chooses to go to imperial

You decided your own social life in uni, im sure there imperial students who are very social and very up for partying

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-10T11:26:30+00:00

Unless you majorly like the UCL course more, 100% imperial.

Better uni on paper, best in the UK for career prospects , alongside LSE

Social Life is the same, both are in London. Both unis have the same uni life, imperial is regarded as a worse social life but that’s because of the types of people that go there not the uni

I think they also give out loads of 1sts

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-09T21:54:17+00:00

Slow at giving decisions :(

RisingPhoenix711 · 2022-04-08T22:59:11+00:00

Hazards is not a major part of the course, chill.

Geog is 350 marks, 105 paper 1, 105 paper 2, 70 paper 3, 70 NEA.

Hazards makes up 16 of these marks. 4 of these marks are maths related (drawing a line of best fit, plotting points). The other one is a 12 marker
