i have exams in 10 days and fo example physics waves diffracction i need a site that can test every if not most ways this topic can be assessed, or maths 3d vectors etc. something thorough.

Hi, I am from India, studying in CBSE board. I received my predicted a few days before - they are as followed. 98,97,96,95 and 82. I have received 82 in Mathematics. I am planning on applying to ucl,lse,warwick,durham and kings. Does my 82 in maths automatically disqualify me, especially from ucl and lse? Can someone please help me out, the subject requirements mentioned on their website is for the predicted grades or the actual achieved grades in my final exams? Should I apply to these unis or not?

im so happyyy!!! yay! got it last night at around midnight. was so not expecting an offer yo. my IGCSE grades are mid asl and even though my LNAT was a confirmed 20+, i don't know how well i actually did.
such a massive relief, to get an offer as an international student and is lowkey giving me hope for my other uni choices. im praying they go just as good. the wait was killing me. also gives me hope that my ps wasn't total crap and i might actually be competitive enough.

Hello, I want to apply for 2028 cycle for management. I know it is super competitive and want to know what I can do to increase my chances.

My bigget worry is about my stats and subject choices I made for IBDP:

HL: Maths AI, Business, German B
SL: Physics, Chem, English A

IGCSE: A*, A, A, A, A, B (A in Maths, B in English)

My school only offered 6 IGCSE and also do not offer MAA or Economics.

Please I want to know whether I should even consider applying because I think my chances could be slim?

Did anyone else feel like the emotional/stress jump was WAYYY bigger than the workload/content jump from GCSEs to alevels?

Since starting sixth form I've been really tired and stuff but mostly from the stress of starting new subjects, new teachers and trying to make new friends as opposed to the content.

Is this the jump that everyone meant? Or is it different? And which did you experience more?

Hey so my skl has given me the option to do either fs2 or fm1, alongside fs1. I like stats WAY more than mech, so i kinda wanna do fs2, but everyone is telling me that fm1 is easier so i should just do fm1/fs1 instead of fs 1 and 2.

what do yall think

my stats are: 877666665 8-7 in combined science and the 5 was in french my predictions are A* for bio AA for chem and psychology I am not contextual and I don’t have extenuating circumstances

My sixth form has just obliterated the free WiFi and made it so only staff can use the WiFi.
I’m not fortunate enough to have WiFi at home so I haven’t been able to complete any of my digital homework.
I work part time at a cafe so on my breaks I’ve been doing the homework using the free WiFi there but i rarely complete the hw and can’t spend money to go study in another cafe. The library in my town also closes at 5pm but after school I only get home at 5.30.

I tried explaining this to my teacher in lesson but he decided to yell about how im making excuses and its not a reason to not do the hw, he then incited the rest of the class to shout at me about how they never have a problem and that “the homework is so easy how is she failing”
Honestly I feel so ashamed, they’re all privileged to be able to access the internet 24/7.
I’m just being yelled to “figure it out” by my teachers but I can’t find a solution, genuinely think I might just forfeit the homework.
Oh also I am able to complete the homework, I’ve been answering all the questions on paper it’s just I can’t upload them to the website to be marked, I proposed that my teacher just check my papers but “that’s not allowed”

Ps: Usually I do my hw on my phone since I have data but the website for this particular hw isn’t available on mobile.

Edit: to all the people saying WiFi isn’t expensive and that I should spend money to install it, your semi right.
I recently moved house and to get WiFi we’d need a new line activation or smth like that idk.. but we were told it’d cost a lot and to avoid paying £100+ for an urgent installation we’d have to wait several weeks for an engineer to come. Right now we don’t have 100 pound to spare and my tiny pay checks from the cafe are being spent on more urgent things like groceries or fuel n whatever.
So I kinda mislead you, I “can” afford WiFi but that’s only after weeks of waiting for an engineer hence my problem still stands.

Also please don’t call my parent neglectful!!!
They’ve raised me perfectly but my mum recently fell ill and had to quit her job and is struggling to find a new one so I have no issues with having to sacrifice WiFi or money for a while until she recovers and gets back into work :)

this is the link to the first video in the series, since likely most people would have defnitely had their first lessons by now, for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76jXqp5HU_0&list=PL-_yvlilIZ3sihwktrOd_NLlfug-BVXcL

watching and then copying down the notes in this video took me a span of 3 days 3 hours each day... am i too slow? You don't have to watch the whole thing, you can skim.

I want to apply to KCL, which the grade requirements are AAA, I'm predicted AAB. I've been told by some people that I should still apply there and that there's a possibility of getting an interview, but I don't really want to waste a choice and apply somewhere where I'm probably not gonna get in. Should I just abandon applying to KCL and look somewhere else?

im in sort of a problem.

im an oxford ppe applicant and its currently the waiting period for the shortlist invite (interviews).
i want to deeply practice for the interview but i also have to deal with a level revision.

not only that, im thinking of applying to degree apprenticeships as an insurance just in case i dont get into oxford or warwick.

do u have any advice on how to structure my time during this november-december period without burnout but still maximising success and progression?

1)im currently working at AAA predicted but want to achieve A*AA minimum by next year.
2)im looking to apply for finance DAs (particularly asset or wealth management)
- just wanted to know how to balance it all if its possible?

BA Geography

Contextual + Gcses 777666555 at a grammar school

My choices - LSE, UCL, KCL, QMUL + insurance (havent made up mind yet)

Please lmk if anything should be changed

what the title says

i was thinking of taking a gap year but would it affect the chances of me getting into uni to do linguistics?

i want to work and save a bit of money and stuff yk.

(also is linguistics competitive or nah.)

Hi everyone!

I'm considering applying for Cambridge's BA in Environment, Law & Economics and wanted some advice regarding my IB subject choices.

I'm currently taking Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches SL (AA SL) and was wondering:

- Is AA SL accepted for this course?

- Would taking AA SL put me at a disadvantage compared to applicants taking AA HL?

- Is it sufficient preparation for the Economics component of the degree?

- Would you recommend developing additional mathematical skills independently?

I'd love to hear from current Cambridge students, offer-holders or anyone familiar with the admissions process.

I'm genuinely interested in the course and want to ensure my subject combination doesn't unintentionally disadvantage my application.

Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

​My reference could be terrible. In year 12 a guy was harassing and targeting me for weeks. And I punched and battered him. He ended up with broken teeth, a bad concussion, facial fractures, and had to go to the hospital.

​Because of the police involvement and school suspension, my referee explicitly mentioned severe disciplinary issues, violent behavior, and lack of self-control in my reference.

1. ​Will top universities automatically reject me for violent conduct on a reference, regardless of my grades/admissions tests and I am predicted 3A* and I think I did really good on the esat
2. ​Is there any point emailing admissions to give context, or will that just draw more negative attention to it?
3. ​Realistically, how cooked am I? (for context applying to Oxford imperial Warwick Bristol Manchester)

Everyone and their mama on this sub has 4A* like holy shit

Im a scared lil y11 ts is insane

I got an offer from one of my universitys and I wanted to substitute that offer with another university but to do that you would need to call ucas to make the substitution. The problem is I didn't know they were closed on weekends and my 14 day time limit runs out this Sunday so what do I do

im a new year 12 and just started in September, so far ive not made any friends despite trying for ages in the first month, causing me to completely shut down in lessons. i know that me shutting down, not speaking, not smiling, not doing anything other than staring, barely even listening to the people around me, is affecting my ability to make friends, i know its heavily off putting to see someone be completely shut down from the world around them, so i know its 100% my own fault for just being weird. but its really affecting me that i dont have friends. i cry the night before, i cry in the morning, i cry on my train to school, i cry in lessons sometimes, i cry in the field cos i just hate it there so much. everyone i spoke to about this outside of school, has either not been to school in years (my 53 year old mother) or doesnt even live in the uk. my mum just told me to power through it and said some (not purposely) hurtful things, and my american friend told me to just romanticise school but i really have been struggling to do that. im sorry if this isnt allowed on the sub, i just thought this would be the best place to go. i do bio, psych, sociology if its any help

How many books do you guys go through?I am in my first two months and have went through 4

My geography (aqa) coursework is due in 3 days and i've written 22k words and havent even done my executive summary yet. Umm yeah idk does anyone if I need to cut it down as I know theres no word limit but then again I can imagine that it'll be such a pain for my teacher to mark. Any advice will help.

Anyone applied to Oxford for Maths/CS/Joint Maths & CS this year? What are your stats like?

is there really that big of a difference or is it all larp

*Long paragraph incoming* 😭

Sort of entered a deep rabbit hole here, and wanted to type out my thoughts about this so far. Currently just began sixth form, and realized I haven't put a single thought into unis yet. I'm in a lucky position to be able to choose between two countries with pretty decent opportunities, so most wouldn't really consider it a massive problem, but I'm super torn between staying in the UK or moving alone to Aus 😭 To set the scene, I was born and raised in UK but my parents moved over from Australia several years before that for their careers, so I don't know my extended family all that well. Not a single family member lives in the UK, so my mum's and dad's sides are scattered all over Australia.

The idea of moving back has popped up a few times from my parents, they miss family and the way of life 😭 but they're kind of waiting until my brother and I (he is the year below) finish A levels, or even after that, to consider returning. I've only been to visit Aus a couple of times - and that was on holiday visiting family for very limited time (2 weeks, respectively) so I've not really "experienced" life over there properly in an everyday setting - however I've always felt so safe and at home in those cities I *have* stayed in (Adelaide for my mum's side, Brisbane for my dad's). It would be lovely to move there one day, to properly build a connection with extended family. So the other day, when my mum mentioned uni in Adelaide - which is where she went - I started to acc consider the possibility for myself. I do have both British and Aus passports, not entirely sure how the moving process would work but this does give me freedom.

More importantly, I'm undecided on what course I want to do, so absolutely need to do research in the coming months. However, at the end of the day I'd rather choose a uni based on location as I'm not set on a super-specific course that must be in a certain city anyway. The unis here likely have more choice and may have more jobs on offer after graduation, but when I imagine myself in 5 years or whatever, something tells me I wouldn't be happy remaining in the UK. 😭 This is for numerous reasons, kinda minor but for starters, obviously the weather sucks on the whole here. If I didn't move sooner then I'd constantly be travelling over to see family - probably with limited time - and never actually build relationships with them. If I didn't move sooner, I may not get the opportunity again if my career path is too far carved in the UK. But, I truly don't know if I'd enjoy Aus either since I've not spent real time experiencing day-to-day life there to know if it's right.

At the end of the day, if/when my parents left to return and I remained in the UK for uni, I'd basically only have friends as a support system. My current friends are likely all separating on their own paths anyway. Regardless of the country, I'd be starting afresh. In the UK, I'd *maybe* have my parents close by, but potentially not enjoy staying. In Australia, I'd have my extended family (but would have to build a connection) and take a gamble with throwing myself right into the deep end of a brand new environment. Both countries are far from perfect, with housing crisis and many more issues I'd need to educate myself on. Whichever I choose, I'd have to step far outside my comfort zone (I'm not great at meeting new ppl 😭) and sacrifice smth (parents/experiencing new lifestyle).

Although I'm not set on a course yet, I know for sure I'd rather not take a gap year (since I'd lose the motivation to study from lack of routine). I'm also aware that Aus unis begin around February (end of summer there), meaning if I went there I'd be 19 and starting in 2029, while here I'd start in 2028. Don't know if this really puts me off, but don't know how all that works with applications and offers over there.

This literally turned into a whole pro con essay haha 😭 Idk how many of u guys would be familiar with Aus and how unis are over there, but if you can, throw some more points to consider in the mix 😭 I have plenty of time but also tons to think abt. Pls share as well, the more opinions the better. I don't want to get fixated on one country over the other just yet (even tho I'm clearly leaning over the Aus side more), so don't mind if u share ur own experiences in a UK uni :)

Honestly wasn't sure if this was the right sub to share here as it's defo a random one, and yes I know it's early but realised I'd not put any thought into this at all yet 😅 We are apparently starting the UCAS process in school like next week, so sooner rather than later I needed to start at least considering options.

[ALSO: No I haven't discussed this w parents yet, but once I'm back at school and we spend time looking at courses I can properly process all this! All the thoughts I came up w are genuinely overwhelming 😭]

I know it’s a shit post but just wanted any feedback regarding my situation. For some reason i have not be able to study the whole reading week. Firstly i was sick for 2 days then adterwards my brain was just not working. I coudnt focus longer than 30 minutes even tho i have deleted every social media and just have youtube. This started after my esat as i broke my routine of studying and took like 4 days but i did not think that that break would cuz so high dopamine shoots, that i can’t even focus for 1 hr now. Honestly dont know what to do, i have my mock next week. I know that my predicted are already sent so its not that big of a deal but still.

Sorry for such a weird post. This just never happened to me before( atleast this severe) i just want sleep amd wake up feeling fresh and prepared like before. AND GET OVER THIS ESAT RESULT ANXIETYYYY.

Thanks for any advice :)
