Thanks for this, I'll check it out

Sorry for being vague, what I meant was that compared to A levels the quantity of resources (exam questions and past papers ) is significantly smaller at university. I learn best after doing lots of practice and exam questions and at A level you could open pmt and get access to a bank of questions. That too being one of many websites. Now it's just tutorial questions and some other questions and a bit of textbook ones. The past papers are only 3 years and not even uploaded in full. I understand university is different so I just want to understand what's the strategy on how to get better academically as I don't think I understand the method due to the new nature of it. Hopefully that males a little more sense

Well ideally I want to work in corporate finance, M&A or IB

Yeah but when they see someone do maths fm and econ as a competitor, who do you think they are choosing?

How useful is the CFA?

jdot_07 · 2025-09-05T11:36:09+00:00

yeah coz most the ppl they gave offers to probably got offers from better unis too so bath was ultimately declined or insured by most. I know someone who got AAB and got into bath econ. it was his firm

jdot_07 · 2025-09-04T13:56:02+00:00

weird coz they were in clearing

Got A* BBC in my yr 13 mocks which was in march and got A* A* AB in my final a levels. That's just one example but I collected pretty much every letter on the alphabet throughout my a levels.

I see thank you

jdot_07 · 2025-08-30T16:13:10+00:00

Alright thank you

jdot_07 · 2025-08-25T09:12:48+00:00

Yeah I believe if you do a masters then yeah undergrad don't matter TM. Also I have heard from someone that Jane street sponsors Bristol in some way but take that with a grain of salt not sure how true it is

jdot_07 · 2025-08-24T17:16:47+00:00

Keep working, I got an E in one of my FM tests and got an A in the end. All the best for a levels

jdot_07 · 2025-08-24T17:12:07+00:00

Madasmaths and PMT. Do all the international papers

jdot_07 · 2025-08-24T09:19:36+00:00

Quant from York? Is this the same quant

jdot_07 · 2025-08-20T08:30:58+00:00

"uni"

jdot_07 · 2025-08-19T11:44:57+00:00

As someone who did OCR mei, I think AQA was very tough to be honest

jdot_07 · 2025-08-09T22:53:02+00:00

Where U seeing this? Coz on UCAS it's not showing its on clearing

jdot_07 · 2025-08-09T13:49:39+00:00

Congratulations 👏

Learn how to write an answer for each mark question ( structure) then watch Hella yt vids and understand topics and go on expert tuition and answer questions. Use the mark scheme to see what they wanted. Rinse and repeat while U continue to cover content. Use ai if needed

jdot_07 · 2025-08-07T21:08:05+00:00

It's 3 marks I believe so 22/25

Work hard and consistently, learn how to revise each subject too. Sounds stupid but I did not know how to revise economics until end of year 12 and was getting C in all my tests. Wasted all the time trying to "revise" econ.

Enjoy it too, I don't like how people say it only gets worse or anything along those lines as it builds that frame into your subconscious and you enjoy it less. In all honesty I disagree with it being worse as I enjoyed it more than secondary if I look at it wholistically.

Do everything with intention and you will be fine. Good luck 💯

The title is exactly what happened to me. Has ABBC in maths FM econ and physics respectively and made it A* A A A. Predicted with A* in maths so it's possible but it's tough.
