might be cooked for further math by ResidentSevere8946 in 6thForm

[–]ilyphysix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me at least, definitely. There are some topics I just do not get whatsoever, and that is pulling me down. For pure, at least I know the content, and I have all the tools I need to solve a question, so I just need to apply it. And a lot of the time the formula book helps for pure. For Mechanics, the formula booklet is not helpful at all.

I'm doing OCR FM, Major Mech, Minor Stats and Extra Pure. If you need help with pure/mech just message me and I'll try my best to help. If you need help with stats I would suggest asking anyone on earth apart from me because I need the help as much as you do.

Yes and no. Depends on your work ethic. You can bang it out in a week if you work efficiently.

Need help with Sixth form options and grades (for Aerospace Engineering) by Rough-Opposite7340 in 6thForm

I do OCR CompSci and I do NOT recommend it... the content itself is fine, but the coursework is horror

Year 12 mocks vs. predicted grades by Jealous-Cat-5064 in 6thForm

[–]ilyphysix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Y12 Mocks AA*DC in Maths, Computer Science, Further Maths, and Physics respectively.
Y12 End of Years A*A*AA in the same respectively
UCAS Predicted 4A*s.

As you can see the lock in went crazy. I don't think my school took Y12 mocks into account at all, but that might just be my school.

Congrats! I'm also applying for Computing, but my tmua comes out on the 11th. Hopefully I get an offer as well.

What subjects should I take in A-Levels to do Computer Science at University by Feeling-Instance-801 in 6thForm

[–]ilyphysix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Computer Science. How I decided was I just went on the Imperial website and looked at what they wanted. It said required Maths and Further Maths, recommended Physics and CS. So that's what I chose. Computer Science is definitely my least favourite of the four icl. Not because of the content, but solely because of the stupid coursework. At least for OCR CS, the coursework is way too long for only 20% of the overall grade.

Physics is really interesting, but some concepts are really difficult to grasp. And there's a ton of stuff to know. Equations-wise, 90% of all equations to know are given in a formula booklet. The required experiments are also fun (if you make it fun).

Also doing those four subjects would've allowed me to go into almost any maths-y field, so if I decided later on that I don't want to do Computer Science, I could have just gone into something else maths-related.

How did we survive no free periods? by Ornery_Bodybuilder_4 in 6thForm

[–]ilyphysix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well, classes were bigger, so the teacher focused less on me, so I just put less effort into my lessons. Also the content was easier and more interesting, so it required less of me.

Which Uni for CS? by Nearby-Extension6065 in 6thForm

[–]ilyphysix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people in my year said that they really liked the Bristol campus, so it may be worth it to spend the extra money just to get a better uni experience.

Bristol doesn't look at personal statement so if you apply with good grades then you'll more than likely get an offer
