The F215 document may be very helpful (I found the F211 and F214 ones helpful for spec-checking / knowledge-fixing)




I feel you both. Literally in the same position but I need AAB for Sheffield. I feel so unprepared for both exams despite taking Further Maths, C4 can seems a bit tricky, and I haven't had enough time

Is anyone doing chemistry at Southampton?

I applied to Edinburgh, St Andrews, Cardiff, Sheffield, Glasgow. Got offers from Cardiff, Sheffield and Glasgow. Firmed Cardiff (already unconditional) and put Sheffield as my insurance. A question to you guys, do you think if Cardiff is really good for Chemistry, because I'm having some second thoughts about my decision...

I am a foreign student and I haven't been able to attend an open day. I simply went to the websites, checked out the prospectuses, also league tables. Cardiff is 24th in CUG and 12th in the Guardian. I liked it because on the website there was information that the school benefits from a recent several million refurbishment, and also I was influenced by the financial side of the things - cheap accommodation, compared to all other top unis, and I have been told that the city itself is cheap as well. Also, a classmate of mine is also going to study at Cardiff
I'm having second thoughts because I recently read that although it being a Russell group uni, it falls behind the other unis in the group and that made me think whether it's good overall and for the subject too.
I'm thinking whether I should try Adjustment. Other unis I think might be better are Nottingham, Bristol, Southampton, Manchester, maybe Liverpool??

Another thing that bothers me is that the majority of unis I researched use Clayden's textbook for Organic Chemistry and as I understand it's the best one out there, but Cardiff uses Loudon's one, which, according to some reviews on Amazon, isn't very good and is too complicated.

This depends on you, really. I do think Clayden is awesome. That said, they should be comparable and if you want to use Clayden for your studies then you can. It just means page references are useless to you, which can make things sometimes difficult.

Edit: Nymthae and I are massively biased, but PICK SHEFFIELD! They give you the core textbooks you need for organic, inorganic and physical, which would cost you the best part of £300.

Sheffield rocks... but I had to buy my textbooks, hahah. I was a little bit miffed when I heard they started doing that

yup. #perksofbeingtheclassof2016 We are the year Mark does NOT like.

It's fine, you pay 9 grand and I play 3.5. I think you can have the free text books

Does Mark like anyone? His face only changes between disgruntled and somewhat disapproving

Is anyone doing chemistry at Southampton?

Me! (Hopefully)

Me too!
