I know you are joking but I didn't revise until I was like 13/14. Bulgarian education made me hate maths, and my language skills were so bad that I just failed all other subjects. Not surprised since I was like 5 years behind on my peers' language skills e.g confusing between 'tomorrow' and 'yesterday', forgetting words.

I did! C1-4, FP1-2, S1, M1, D1, S2, DE, NM. You?

We were in opposite situations in terms of language skills but I legitimately didn't even like maths until near the end of year 12. Did you ever get checked or did it just resolve itself eventually?

I must be autistic because I couldn't put 2 words together at the age of 5.

Good your son has found his passion and ambition in life.

Also, don't make him do maths unless he wants to. If he loves art design, then so be it!

You can't force him to do anything. I tend to keep quiet and allow him to relax and rediscover things for himself. It worked for art, maybe it will work for maths too.

My aunt works as a software engineer, so I got interested in computer programming at an early age (C++ like 9/10 can't remember). When I connected programming with maths is when I started to get more interested in mathematics, and then later on theoretical physics (like 13 I guess).

As for my language skills, I have always been pretty bad in my first language (Bulgarian) since I only started speaking it when I was 5/6. However, while I was still in Bulgaria (until age 12, 2012), I got pretty good in English (partially due to playing lots of WoW, League and CS, and also Khan Academy videos + TV series) and I am now sufficiently fluent at it; unfortunately, I have become even worse in Bulgarian and it is currently very difficult for me to have an intelligent conversation with someone in that language. The only problem I still find with English is in explaining/debating, and one of my goals in life is to combat this issue and improve my eloquence. I guess I sometimes also forget words, but it doesn't happen as frequently as it used to.

I did Maths last year, but Further Maths this year. What did you think of FP1, FP2, S2 and DE? I did all those as well as S3 and M2. What do you think about these boundaries for full ums :
DE: 72FP1: 70
FP2: 69/70?
S2: 72

It was high school which ruined his love of maths, he pretty much gave up in year 7

On results day in my friend's brother's year, track was overloaded and crashed so he couldn't log on. Does this happen frequently?

Probably, between 7:30-8:30 they'll get a lot of traffic

Oh god. If I can't get onto track, I have to wait until 11am ypto find out if I met my offer as that is when my school puts our results online.

Can't you just go in? You should be able to check anyway unless you're unlucky I think

My school is open from 7:30am but I can't go in. I don't want to see anyone.

My school only opens at 9 :////

My school says it opens uncommonly early because clearing opens on a first come, first served basis and they want to start helping people find courses asap. You probably go to a school where they don't expect to have many people in clearing!

Did anyone else do OCR MEI further maths? If so, which modules did you take?
