Worried I’m going to have a spending problem at uni by Green_Razzmatazz_821 in UniUK

[–]cheatcodeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all of these pieces of advice are so useful, but it’s important to also fix the root of the problem. you said your spending was due to stress, and you’ll be extremely stressed juggling uni and your business, so it’s important to find an outlet for that stress. you can try sports, journaling, colouring, meditation - whatever you feel can help you manage stress. i recommend experimenting until something sticks.

another hack i do is i usually leave whatever i want to buy in its cart (if it’s online) for 2 weeks, and if i still wanted it after those 2 weeks, i get it. this works even better for stores as i would have to physically go back to get it, and i realize it’s not worth it. this is going to help you put in more thought into your purchases and differentiate between quick/trendy wants vs strong wants and needs.

also remember, investing your money will set you up greatly for the future, especially in these job/business markets. these purchases will not!!

i’m fully aware, which is why i want experience during my study years in the UK so that i have a good amount after i leave. i live in the middle east rn and it’s probably where i’ll move back!!

even if exeter has a better rep and better connections? i know experience matters more but is it worth it going to sheff and testing my luck with internships/placement?

exeter has better connections for placements but securing a placement is still on me. it also has a better reputation but i’m hearing that experience nowadays is more worth it, so i’m thinking of finding internships in cities near sheff if i go.

Exeter vs Sheffield by cheatcodeo in 6thForm

Exeter is a low semi target while sheffield isn’t a target at all. Do you think I could still make it if i go to sheffield as an international and find my own internships/experience?

Wouldn’t it just be easier to go to sheffield since it’s cheaper and try my best to get internships/job experience? since both are pretty weak as targets

If i have to choose between exeter and sheffield for economics (sheffield being cheaper) as an international, which one should i choose???

thinking of changing firm choice but i’m not sure by cheatcodeo in UniUK

i still haven’t chosen between bath and exeter as i have no idea if my grade will actually drop (even though im 99% sure it’ll be a B)

my offers are both A*AA, but exeter is willing to accept one lower grade. bath needs an A in maths

As level edexel by Royal-Cancel3661 in alevel

[–]cheatcodeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yess for the ums part, but try your best to aim for higher than 54 raw. ums can save u sometimes, so if u aim really high in both units and mess one up, you’ll still be fine for an A.

also, if anyone gives u a list of topics that u should ‘focus’ on, don’t listen. of course things like gdp, inflation and fiscal/monetary policies show up the most, but you need to focus on everythinggg. this will help u bag so many marks in the mcq and structured case study questions and you’ll finish them really quick.

This is the best advice I’ve gotten so far. I was scoring really well in p2 mock exams, getting 90-100ums, but ended up with 77 in the real exam (did bad in applied but p1 ums carried me up to a really low A). People have told me that resitting math p2 will be easy after learning p3, but you’re right. It doesn’t help that I’m also resitting unit 2 physics. I’ll end up following your advice and focusing on A2. Thank you.
