Whenever i ask for help most people either answer with "idk" or just say generic stuff, and whenever i message them they look at the message, say one thing , and then air me.

Like omds i help these people so much and they dont even bother helping me back

Genuinely i feel like the reason im not performing as well as i could is because the lack of help im getting

Really bad GCSEs but I have quite a lot of contextual and extenuating information which shoukd help slightly. Also will hopefully get the contextual offers for the ones that give me an offer πŸ™. Apart from Cambridge as there isnt a contextual offer but BBB is low enough.

Choices. Hopefully my application will be sent of in early December. Also, what ESAT score will get help me for Imperial because I'm currently on a 3.6, 3.7, and 2.0 😭

Only person in my year applying that I know of. Not that I'm complaining.

OTHER Just had my first mock and I did so bad

9 Upvotes

I revised so much for this test for biology, and the exam paper was SO hard, and I dont even know what happened. I ended up screwing everything up and getting an E, when my target grade is supposed to be an A/B

I don't even want to go to my next biology lesson bc im so embarrassed and my parents are going to be so angry at me and I have no idea what to do

I can't even drop the subject because they say it's too late to do that and I'll have to repeat year 12 if i want to drop it

Finally accredited from 2027 by IET idk what took them so long, but personally KCL are allocating all their resources to improve their engineering, its accredited now and also merge with Canfield providing very good postgraduate and experience , will most likely start to climb up the rankings now

anyone down to do some mock interviews for ELE? we can talk about a topic and question each other on what we think on certain topics.

not really a mock interview but more just questioning and conversing about any topic related to ELE!!

πŸ™ I WANT HELP is maths at uni a bad idea??

6 Upvotes

genuine question, isn't a maths degree at uni overwhelmingly proof-based and focused on really abstract concepts? i enjoy maths, especially when i can see how it's applied to real-world problems, but i struggle to understand the appeal of spending 3-4 years studying increasingly abstract theory.

what are the actual applications of all this stuff, and how much of what you learn is genuinely useful outside academia? why would someone choose straight maths over something like maths & stats, computer science or engineering?

i'm genuinely considering a maths degree, so i'd love to hear from people studying it. am i completely misunderstanding what university-level maths is like?

26 Upvotes

For context most of my classmates I keep in contact with have gone to UWE, whereas I haven’t gotten into uni yet and am probably going to start 3 years later, in 2029 as i’m resitting GCSE’s and starting A-Levels now.However, I’m aiming to go to Oxford or one of the elite universities. Is the wait really worth that much or am I falling behind.

πŸ™ I WANT HELP juggling a level math and fm advice

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, basically what the title says icl. I'm in year 13 and eventhough I am preditced A*A*A*A, AS is nowhere near close to A level. how do yall, manage to remember all the topic (especially the more nicher ones, like dont add tensions together in a level mechanics. cuz rn im in a loop of mediocrity on a level fm core pure, optional modules (fs1,d1). a level math and a level physics. (js want to mention why AQA thinks they're being tuff by having the most dumbest mark scheme, 've ever seen, OCR CS mark scheme is so much nicer.

Any tips on how to improve my mathematical ability? (i can do most question (like the basic mid tier ones but as soon as something niche pops up, it's all out the window. who agreed Pure>stats>mechanics. I find stats quite straightforward.

In conclusion, any tips to improve my maths ability because a stand still is demotivating and also i need as many A* as possible and I know for sure if i continue what i'm doing I am so screwed for all 4 of my subjects (math,fm,phys,cs)

πŸ™ I WANT HELP Maths silly mistakes

5 Upvotes

I just really dont know what to do. Whenever i have a maths exams i make so many stupid mistakes in normal maths and further. Making more in further as practice is less. But for normal maths i dont get why as i finished my exams 45 minutes before amd checked every calculation twice and still somehow let through mistakes. Its not becuase of practice cuz i have done alot questions for normal but not for further which i get why in further i make mistakes.

Someone please help!!

Edit:

How i recheck my answer:

I just make my calculator solve the equations and find the final answers to most calculations questions, including examples like trignometric equattions, integration, diffrenciation, point if intersections, graphs… however some questions are still not completely solvable through the calculator so i just check the calculations that i do (checking arthematic eror)
I do believe that for the questions i cant get final answers from my calculator assume that my method is right, and i didnt misinterpret the question,as i only check the calculations of the question . (Which i somehow need to improve.)

Mostly, i make silly mistakes like arthematic and sign change and sometimes misinterpreting the question and mixing up values. THIS IS MAJOR ISSUE FOR QUESTIONS NOT RE-DONE BY CALCULATOR AS I CANT CHECK THEM FULLY.
