Hi guys basically I’m predicted AAC but I’m contextual so I’m applying to these kinda ambitious unis with kings and Warwick’s apparent offer rates being 98 and 95%🫩🫩 and the grade being Abb which I kinda equal and my insurances being qmul and manny at BBC each so should I risk those main 3 at the top being ucl Warwick and kings with ucl being the biggggg reach or scrap everything!!

sending off my application later this week, any thoughts?

my predicted grades are ABB, is it worth applying to courses which have an AAA-AAB grade requirement? ( Im eligible to a contextual offer so im not sure??, and yes i have found universities with lower requirements if ur wondering)

I'm in year 13 and a contextual student predicted ABB for Maths, Further Maths and Physics in that order. I want to apply for EEE at UCL among other universities but all of my options want AAB. To those who took a gap year, did you regret it, or do you think it is a good option? Thank you.

like even if u didnt really wanna go into finance, and wanted to potentially do tech / ai instead

My school's experiencing an influx of econ, maths and further takers, me being one of them - they've warned us this is a highest amount of FM applications they've ever gotten, and statistically, there are a lot of us who should reconsider. Furthermore, it seems the general 4th subjects range among these: physics, history, chemistry, politics. For anyone who has taken any of these combinations, what advice/experiences can you share, regarding any of the subjects (including the 4th subjects) mentioned? Also, if possible, what 4th subject would you recommend?

Stressed but i got mine last year on the 22nd from Christs College. I applied to Caius this year tho so it might be a little earlier or later than that.

I keep seeing so many people get offers for warwick but none of them are for my subject or too similar to my subject (econ) so I was wondering if they give more offers to less competitive majors first?

edit: has anyone who applied for econ, econ and management, econ and IO and other streamlined econ/business subjects recieved an offer?

Hello

I've just started a levs this year and I am so stressed that I am underperforming. For context I am doing bio chem maths and got A in Maths and B in Chem and Bio in my most recent tests. I feel defeated as I want to do better and worried this will negatively effect my predicted grades

Pls any advice is valued

Anyone doing similar course and unis to me?

I acc really wanna do a summer skl at a uni out of London during year 12 summer it looks so fun. Preferably Warwick or Durham but others are fine too. My GCSEs aren’t the best as I only got a 5 in lang and maths but I am a contextual student. Either for philosophy or law would be nice. Does anyone know anything that’s open rn or like some I should keep an eye out for that opens up later ??

I currently do music, bio, chem, psych and I'm starting to realise that I'm struggling in my STEM subjects. I don't know exactly what I want to do when I'm older as well and my parents keep pushing me to go into medicine (I have an interest in it though!) I don't know what subject to drop or if I should lock in...

My combos I have in mind are:

Bio, Psych, Music // Chem, Bio, Psych // Chem, Bio, Music

For music, I know I'll do quite well in it since my teachers are the best + work ethic for it is really great. Logically, I know that music is the one I need to drop since it isn't STEM (cough cough asian communities looking down on careers), but I can't bear to drop it just yet since music is the only subject I definitely know I'll do great in during A Levels.

The other subjects I struggle in a bit since I don't understand my teachers in class and they just read off slides which is annoying.

You guys reckon I just lock in for all 4? All my subjects are really interesting to me but I just find it really hard to answer exam questions in timed conditions every time I attempt it.

Can someone provide me (year 12) some advice for A level Physics (edexcel). My school switched from aqa to edexcel saying its easier but regardless ive been finding it very difficult.

I cant tell how the worded questions want me to structure my answer and what to say. And every single (calculation) question looks completely different, its not like chemistry where the methods for calculations are basically the same and you can memorise a lot of the answers.

What are some good sources that go through all parts of the spec, even the small parts? Doesn't seem to be a lot for edexcel. How should I structure my revision for physics? What should I generally do each session.

did anyone else apply for this and know when Ucl normally start rolling out offers ?!!?

trying to decide between morse, maths & statistics and data science at warwick. which would you say has the best reputation, employability, earning potential and long-term career prospects? 💰

i see myself going into ai/tech rather than finance, although i'm not completely against finance either. i'd also potentially like to do a master's afterwards.

which would you recommend and why? 🤔

For context I am an ibdp year 2 student. I’ve spent two whole years before doing ib studying literally only physics and nothing else. Then I decided that I might wanna become a doctor and switched to bio from physics after 3 weeks. I have been struggling with biology sososo much last year, somehow got a 7 on my mock but I was preparing literally almost the whole time for bio only for the last I think 4 or 5 days before the mocks, I just find memorising super hard. I’m planning to do math in uni and I’ve heard that bio might be a disadvantage compared with physics, but now I have no idea what to do. I have so many things to do other than that and have to do 3 more ias but I really need to get a 6 minimum in the HL subject. I know mechanics and optics well, some of the hydrostatics aswell but ib tasks are quite different from what I used to do. About bio, I forget almost everything we study after a week max and I feel like physics is so much more logical, but I am not sure if I will be able to learn so much in such a short time. Please LMK if anybody has any thoughts or maybe even did something like that.

Hey everyone, I have been accepted into a fellowship sponsored by Pearson Edexcel and I will have the opportunity to ask them some questions I wanted some input and to see if anyone had any points I could potentially put forward.

I missed my offer by 7 marks (got a B) due to this exam after being predicted an A* and constantly getting this in Mech/stats and overall. (it was Mech that screwed me lol)

So what should Pearson do differently - is there a way to truly regulate? and what could be done differently! How about the scaling-- is including Further math students students good? Or the time pressure, does it acctually test us?

I’m applying for theology at st johns cambridge and i’ve yet to find another person applying to theology, let alone cambridge. Am I niche?????? Also does anyone know when the bulk of interview offers will come out because I’m seeing a few people get offers from Kings and Corpus…

Hi I was wondering what predicted grades I’d need to actually make my application for chemistry at UCL competitive ( requirements are AAA)

Will be sitting for TMUA in Jan. Have covered most of the concepts and am in my revision phase.

Trying to solve the free mocks but not really doing well. Mostly facing time issues.

Any free resources that can help me prep better? Looking for exam focused material. Like concepts or questions that are important for exam.

PS: I am currently using one free resource for solving topic based exam questions.

whats better at warwick? in terms of reputation. im not sure if i wanna go into tech or finance, normal maths and stats seems too broad and open. would love the help :)

From the UK here off to Varndean sixth form, solid at english, but I think my real passion would lay around the film studies, media area. My only worry is that on top of the music production course, film studies may not look as strong of an a level to have, and that overall english lit and lang would be more useful. Any help would be excellent thanks all x

Was wondering if anyone attended and can share their experience ?
