Yes it will be very exciting! I can't wait
Haha yes that is one thing i'm looking forward to - since i'm doing english at the moment and sometimes its a bit like: oh not another essay!!
Ooh cool Is it good?
I had a top 3 that I found vv hard to choose between: Lnacaster, Leeds and Sheffield. In the end Sheff was the one that missed out And I firmed Leeds, insured Lancaster....

Ah, I know loads of people at Leeds and they all love it, so great choice! I've visited a few times and really liked it too, I nearly firmed them myself. I also have a friend at Lancaster and she loves it there! So it sounds like you've made some good choices, though I love Sheffield the best obviously How many exams have you got left? Best of luck with them

This I agree with so much! Uni maths is enjoyable, but stay on top of your work from day one! (I ended up cramming for some modules, it was horrible )

How did you find your exams? Congrats for getting through your first year!

Well I have 8 in total. 2 really good, 4 alright and 2 really bad But tried to forget about them When do you finish?

EDIT: I do a maths degree and yet I imagined more exams then I did

Hopefully you'll get the class you want - I've had absolutely awful exams and always got a lot higher than I expected. Remember if you found it hard, chances are the vast majority did too.

I've already graduated (ages ago now ), stick around as this place is great procrastination when studying for actuarial exams!

You better hope the two you made up were the ones that went badly rather than the ones that went well

Probably easier to list

Abstract Algebra - Alright
Numbers and functions - Well
Geometry - Alright
Calculus - Horrible
Stats - Horrible
Astrophysics 1 - Well
Linear Methods - Alright
Dynamical Systems - Alright

So 2 Well, 4 alright, and 2 bad. FML so much

Results on the 6th July

How have exams gone so far?

In a fourth year exam I actually wrote 2+2=5. I could never look the lecturer in the eye. That beauty cost me getting 100% on that paper, sigh

Fine I suppose. I've only had Greek so far and that was the one I wanted to get out of the way

Astrophysics

What sort of stuff do you do?
I'm really looking forward to this sort of stuff i.e. cosmology, GR etc

Well this year, we focused on stuff that is predominately within our Solar System. So this was a lot of planet movement and orbits, the build up of stars, the working of the telescope . Next year it gets more interesting as we look at more cosmology and stuff that I find more interesting (cluster of galaxies, dark matter etc.) I'm hoping that in my third year I would be able to do a particular course at UCL called "Physical Cosmology" I'm also taking some modules in my third year, one of them being "Space-Time Geometry and General Relativity" or "Cosmology and General Relativity" (depending which one I get accepted onto)

Astrophysics and cosmology gets so cool

Thats good to hear

This week and next week are gonna be bad :<
Triple exam clash on Thursday which includes Philosophy Implications and FP3 and C4. Wahhh.
Then next Thursday I have a clash of M2 and an S2 resit (of which I initially got 60/100.. how awful)

I'll struggle to not get an A* in Maths now, but I still need two more 90s in either M2, S2 or FP3 (already got a 90 in D2 last year ) to get the A* in F Maths.

And then I don't even wanna talk about STEP/AEA papers...

Yay I'll be doing the M2/S2 together as well, fun times.
My plan is to 100 FP3 to get the A* in FM.

Good luck with the triple clash.

Next week is bad here for poor eldest son. Monday STEP I, Wednesday STEP II and his 18th birthday, Thursday M3 and Friday S2 and M4 back to back in the afternoon. Friday evening is heading to Belfast with a pile of friends for the weekend which I'm sure will be a calm and sensible occasion!

Oh goodness! 3 exams on one day! What are you going to do?

[shamika]

Bah! There are still maths exam clashes? That is insane. At least the exams are only 90 minutes long. I seem to remember a bizarre clash of P1 and P3 (so C1 and C3/4), but surely there's a better way to schedule to further minimise clashes :-/

Good luck all. I hear some of the mechanics has been awful...

The boards agree on 9 half day sessions for Maths exams. There will therefore generally be 2 exams per session. How the individual boards schedule their exams within those sessions is up to them. Edexcel largely do it by putting an AS module with an A2 module and a single A level module with a FM module, but this doesn't suit everybody, especially if they are doing resits.

I've got M5 and FP3 clashing
