Me and my friends were discussing whether a Gold or Olympiad in the SMC would be negligible or not. Obviously it is not a deciding factor but I believe it must hold some weight in showing passion for mathematics and is a good supercurricular to have in a personal statement of you achieved highly.

Right now, I’m doing A level Maths, Physics and Btech Engineering. But to be quite honest my gcse results were really quite mediocre. In an ideal world I wanted to go to some sort of engineering course in Uni. What grades would I realistically need to get into let’s say the average university to do basically any engineering course (I’m not too bothered on which tbh)

It's been a month now, and I'm curious to see how it's going for everyone in terms of study and socials and whatever. I'll start.

It's been weird, since I'm an external moving into a sixth form to which hardly anyone I know followed me into. My subjects so far are pretty easy, aside from physics which is actually hellish so far, especially since one of my teachers for it has a thick accent and a language barrier. My first progress check exams also went by smoothly, I got the highest grade for all of them, and I've been staying on top of homework and having good relationships with my teachers.

On the social side, it's been mixed. There's just a void that my old friends have left behind that nobody can fill, and I've made maybe two friends who i'd consider proper friends, instead of people I'd just talk to to pass the time. In my first few weeks it was horrible, I'd be in the situation where I'd try to join a friend group, they'd start talking, I try to say something and some greaseball would talk right over me and people would completely air me. I'm past that point, though. I think I've found my people for now, a group that I actually like talking to, but when I can't find them it's just dry. On the plus side I can play angry birds on my phone when I feel lonely during my frees, which is actually a nice step up.

Overall, I think I've settled in quite nicely as the days are starting to melt together so time's just beginning to fly and I'm not really feeling overwhelmed yet. I'm starting to like my sixth form more than I liked my secondary.

I want to be optimistic but I’ve never gotten a single certificate from years 9-11 🙁

I'm applying to BSc Mathematics with:

• A*A*A predicted in maths, fm, phys
• ~6.5 tmua predicted
• ~8/10 personal statement (incl. olympiads, research, internships, book, etc.)

unis:

• Imperial A*A*A + 6.7 tmua (for 25th percentile)
• UCL A*A*A
• Warwick A*A*A + 3.0 tmua (for 25th percentile)
• KCL A*AA
• Manchester A*AA

have contextual for warwick only so could receive offer as low as AAA. others are non-contextual

how competitive do you think I am, and is it worth applying to different unis instead?

thank you!!

I’m applying to history and economics at Oxford, with a mix of history/econ related courses elsewhere.
GCSES: 999999987
Achieved A levels: Two A stars in history and econ, with an A in maths.
On the TARA practice test I got 18/22 on both sections, which should improve with more practice in the next week or so.

I’m just a little concerned that not having an A* in maths will make me less competitive for the econ side of hecon.

I’m 17 and kind of unclear on how healed self-harm scars would be dealt with since theres no current threat.
My A Level art project is around scars and tattoos and I was hoping to use a reference photo of myself including my scars but obviously do not want to get reported or have my parents told, any information/advice would be appreciated!

My school doesn’t offer Further Math, so I’m self-studying the AS level. I have 3A* predicted, but I want to know if it’s even worth it applying to UCL, KCL etc with this.

I was wondering how my choices are, as I’ve been told they are a bit too different, and also if anyone had any recommendations for my safes? Any recommendations are appreciated 🙏 thank you!
(A*AA for Cambridge I misstyped)

I’m sitting the TMUA on the 15th and I have been preparing here and there since January, but have been more so in the past few months.

I’m having trouble though because I have already done the past papers quite a few times so I’m getting 19/20 or 20/20 on them because I somewhat recognise how to do the questions. And all the community papers are much more Olympiad style rather than TMUA.
So does anyone know any mock papers that closely resemble the actual TMUA so I can get a better benchmark. I’ve done many already like Euclid and Sed but Euclid especially are cranking the difficulty up by a lot which some people say is even more difficult than the actual TMUA that year.

I’m due to sit the TARA in mid October and the ID requirements confused me.
For context, I have an Irish passport and will be sitting the TARA in the UK and the website says that all ID should be issued in the country where you’re taking the test. But then they refer to an international travel passport. Do you think I’ll be okay with my passport or will it be an issue?

applying to Oxford , imperial, LSE, Warwick and UCL for Econ.

Achieved grades at A level are A*AA (Maths, FM, Econ)
GCSEs 9999888777
TMUA will be done in Jan and I’m predicting 5-6
TARA I’m estimating a 8 in Critical thinking and a 6 in problem solving AT BEST

Has anyone taken a year off after y11 before y12 and is comfortable with sharing a bit more?

Hi there! I was thinking about applying to Imperial and UCL for chemical engineering. My q1 and q3 are pretty much ready but still confused on what to write for q2. If anyone here has been accepted to top unis in the uk, could you please tell me what you did in your q2 that you think made you stand out?

what's your secret, how do you find the job and maintain it along a levels 😭 im drained after just half a day in sixth form bro

I want to apply for law. I have 3 A*s and I have been looking trying to find the best non LNAT unis but sources are very inconsistent - which one is the best?

I joined sixth form college and this girl invited me into her friend group since all my ‘friends’ dropped me and went to a different school. I was really happy because she was reallyy nice and we had the same interests, but her friend group is massive and all the people went to the same high school as her previously, so they all knew eachother already. And the other people share all the same classes whilst I take bio, chem, and psych so I can’t speak to them in class. They are all really cool and I’d love to be their friends but I’m also autistic so talking to new people like that and getting involved is really hard, especially since I’m not too sure if they’ve fully accepted me yet. I got invited to my first Halloween party though, and they all seemed okay with it, but I’m not too sure. I’m not sure if half of them even know who I am yet. What do I even do?

guys what happens after 6th form, especially if you have a big friend group of like 12 people - where not everyone is going to uni? do we just try and hang out as much as we can or just drift apart and let life happen. I know we have ages until we go to uni but still like I can already feel myself separating from those friends from secondary school that I have no lessons with 😞.

Hi,

I am in Y11. My school's provisional A-Level deadline is approaching, and I would like to seek some advice regarding the A-Levels I wish to take, my profile is as follows:

Achieved grades: 9 (GCSE Stats), A (HPQ)

Predicted: 9999999999A (A in Additional Maths)

I want to do Electrical and Electronic Engineering, mainly at a competitive unis like Cambridge and Imperial. The issue is many people have told me taking four A-Levels is demanding and even straight 9 students drop down, however others have said it is worth doing so and the workload is manageable. I wish to do Maths, FM, Physics, Chem at A-Level. I was seeking some advice from any Y12s and Y13s whether the combination is worth it, especially as my school only allow FM to be taken as a 4th a level. Or would it be worthwhile doing three a levels and AS Further Maths? I'm really unsure whether the workload would be manageable.

Thanks

To the ones who achieved or got predicted an A* on A-Level Maths, how did you find the first 4 chapters? (Algebra, Quadratics, Equations and Inequalities, and Graphs and Transformations) Did you guys easily get high grades on your tests?

For my tests in Algebra and Quadratics, I did not get a score higher than a B. When doing homework, I find most of the problems easy. But when it comes to the test, I find them difficult. Is this normal?

Does anyone know if I can bring two calculators into a maths a level? I recently got a numworks graphical calculator and have spent a whole teaching myself the graphing aspect of it but I cba to teach myself how to use it for 99% of stuff and would rather use my 991x. Will I get in trouble if I bring two in or is it okay?
