Left it too Late for 95% UMS for AS levels?

What beyond and aph said, no point in bumping. Now until then should be plenty of time! Just make sure to make your notes, learn them, do past papers, learn from your mistakes and then rinse and repeat.
Depends entirely on the person. Some can revise weeks before exams and get top grades, others can revise for months in advance doing more hours and get worse grades

But there's only one way to find out, but the sooner the better

Ok Thanks.
What even is the point of this thread

Some people do absolutely no revision and come out with these sorts of grades. Just remember 95% UMS is a crazy high average, high even for Cambridge, and to nearly every other university (even Oxford) an A is an A.


95% is not crazy high for Cambridge.

Do Cambridge take retake people? As in doing Alevels over 3 years? I'm doing Maths, Biology and ChemistryI'm planning not to sit my AS Maths exam this year as I might risk my grade. So I was thinking to take it Next year. Will Cambridge find this as a problem?

How come?
So even if I get the grades they require, they will still reject me?

So starting AS Maths revision now, doing 5-6 hours a day will get me an A in my AS Maths exam?

They require you do it all over 2 years. Taking a third is instant rejection:yep: you could get 3 A*'s at A2 and they wouldn't care
