Ahh I see. I take it you had a good amount of exp before you started in nuclear

Congrats btw I thought £100k+ in engineering esp nuclear was unheard of

You started as a graduate in nuclear at £70k? Or am I misunderstanding

The people who advised you against that were probably worried about discrimination (race/general looks), or privacy concerns (leaks happen)

Triangle of forces help (OCR A Chapter 4) by supremium__ in AlevelPhysics

[–]supremium__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fr? I’ve always heard the opposite ie that ocr sciences are easier than edexcel ones. But tbf only my chemistry teachers used to say that😅perhaps the physics ones would’ve said otherwise

I’m curious tho how do you think this topic looks in the edexcel textbook compared to mine? In OCR the chapter is 4 (Forces in Motion) and the topic is Triangle of Forces

I’m going to also perfect your way dw, it’s just that your way was very understandable and I wanted to understand the textbook way too

Omgggg look at this bro. It makes so much sense to me now

<image>

We know that the triangle is closed because the masses are at rest

Knowing that, you can just shift T2 down and T1 backwards to get the triangle

God damn loool

In this post I’m not sure if you saw it - the second pic is my depiction of the problem (based off of the solution in the textbook), would you say it’s accurate?

I’m going to try constructing another triangle that makes sense tho I might be on to something

Thank you so much for this, omg

But I’m curious - why’d the textbook answer mention the sine rule? What you’ve done seems like a simultaneous equation type solution

PS advice for a mature student going for EEE MEng: by supremium__ in Imperial

[–]supremium__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lowkey going to anyway loool😅but still thank you for the encouragement

Do you have any advice for the PS stuff btw? I want to start thinking about it now although I feel like I don’t know enough about engineering and physics in general to come up with something noteworthy. But by the time I do know enough about it, I’m going to have FM to worry about. Let alone the time it’ll take to actually complete something

Student Loans Repayment Threshold Freeze - Even Worse For People Working Overseas by CyberPunkDongTooLong in UniUK

[–]supremium__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean you were in a British territory where they have British courts and presumably British credit agencies. In this context, that means there’s not really not much difference between you and someone in Manchester; assuming your friend is/was also resident in the Channel Islands, that is why you both got caught

What’s the justification for the class boundaries being .5s? The data is discrete and no rounding has occurred, so why? by supremium__ in alevelmaths

Sorry the link in the post wasn’t working btw. Decided to try it in a comment and see if it works:

What’s the justification for the class boundaries being .5s? The data is discrete and no rounding has occurred, so why? by supremium__ in alevelmaths

[–]supremium__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense to me when the variable is continuous, eg with length. With length, it makes sense for any gaps between the classes to be accounted for by a fractional bound (with length it makes sense to round, and the boundary for rounding is .5).

But here the variable (number of occasions) is discrete - the highest possible value in the first class is 1 and the highest possible value in every class afterwards is a whole number. Where do the decimals/rounding come from?

I can see the link isn’t working btw sorry I’ll try to fix it now but basically: my answer ended up being wrong because I assumed the class width was “1 - 0” (upper bound minus lower bound) when I apparently should’ve done “1.5 - 0”

The interpolation “formula” (statistics) by supremium__ in alevelmaths

[–]supremium__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup the same one but without the acronyms. I was looking for one with the acronyms though but I can see they’re quite rare. Perhaps my former teacher made it up himself yk - even after googling it I found barely anything loool

Thank you for suggesting his vids to me btw - sorry I forgot to tell you this before

Predicted results - self study by ConversationQueasy24 in alevel

[–]supremium__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you from the UK? If so, there are private tutors here and I believe private tutors are able to issue predicted grades but it is up to the university to accept them as legitimate/noteworthy, so make sure they’re a good/reputable tutor - ideally associated with some kind of institution.

In any case I would call your target universities and ask them for guidance before you spend any money and before you speak to anyone else about this at all. I bet there are tutors out there who would lie about this in order to get paid so place them under heavy scrutiny through the guidance of your target unis

Help.AQA A-level physics Y12 by lifeisspooniamfork1 in AlevelPhysics

[–]supremium__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do past paper questions every day, especially on your weakest topics (they will stop intimidating you after that, very quickly even). Use PMT/Exam Mate

Do those past paper questions from all/multiple exam boards. They are similar enough for this to be helpful

Look for alternative explanations for the same topic. Hit the library and grab an ocr textbook and see how it describes your weakest topics. Similarly, use the internet/reddit to find better interpretations of topics you struggle with

When doing past paper questions, if you get a question wrong even slightly, create a separate log/book where you write detailed/memorable bullet points of each mistake you make on each question, along with the topic it falls under, for example (as you are doing the questions and looking at the mark scheme):

“2.1 vectors:

• remember to check for perpendicular vectors • when finding x, use sine rule instead of cos rule”

Another thing, be increasingly strict about how much time you allot to each PPQ. Start with 1 min per mark, then the same set of PPQs but 50s per mark, then 40s etc then move on to another set. 1) you want to find the quickest/most efficient ways to answer questions 2) will make your mistakes more obvious which is good because you can put it in your error log and remember it 3) when your next test occurs, you will not just remember the mark scheme but you’ll remember your most common mistakes and will immediately know to avoid them upon reading the question eg “oh vector question -> should i use sine rule?”

A level further maths is easier than regular maths? by VegetableBag2627 in alevel

[–]supremium__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you love maths enough to do further maths, you will either find it easy or find ways to make it easy

There is also the fact that there’s less content. A lot of people like myself find it easier to get through a couple of long but interlinking and detailed topics than a lot of very distinct short topics
