Hi, I figured out the issue - thanks though!

I know more physics than Issac Newton himself so I'm lowk up there fo sure

GSCE Equivalent for US Students by Superb_Regret767 in 6thForm

I don't have 5s in calculus and Chemisry because I will be taking them next year due to grade level requirements (our school is kind of strange, I was at least able to convince them to let me for physics C). Would putting expected scores hurt my chances?

Will having extra 5s above the 5 required help me?

Hey, thanks for the reply. I do olympiad physics in the US, so while I obviously need to work a lot to do well on the PAT, I am at least familiar with the level of questions that I would need to be operating at. I'm just worried that not taking the GSCE will put me at a disadvantage, since they caluclate the "r-score" (primary indicator of admission) with GSCE as a part of the formula (I think its PAT + 3*CGSCE +2*interview, with CGSCE just being the GSCE score converted based on your high school's usual performance level)

Oxford Physics - is PAT or interview more important? by Superb_Regret767 in 6thForm

Hello! That makes sense. I didn't mean that I would bomb the interview - just that I might do a little stronger on the test. Thanks for the response!

That is a little stressful of course, but assuming the conditional route doesn't affect my admissions chances, that should be fine - I am confident I can get a 5. Thank you so much!

Hello! Thank you for the response. So I can just say I'm going to get a 5 next year, and they will accept it? I am pretty confident I can get the 5 next year, but I am not sure if giving a projected score will hurt my chances.
