How do you find it. The specimens are easy but the practice breadth and depth are insanely hard

I do feel like they've become harder than previous years, but i feel like it's still doable. There's a real emphasis on practicals too in these exams too which I'm trying to focus on. What's your approach like?
International Chem Eng here, firmed Imperial. Has Imperial sent anyone any kind of acknowledgement after firming them, I haven't received anything of that sort as of today. And what about accommodation? They did say May right, because got nothing on that front as well.

Waiting for accomodation email as well.

I have an offer for medicine and medicine candidates received letters and relevant documents but this may just be because medicine candidates need to complete health questionnaires and immunisation forms as well as a dbs check

Yep, especially in the depth there is supposed to be about 20% of the exam just on experiments, so I have memorised them all haha. I have literally just been doing the old specs past papers, I have been achieving solid As in them but I feel they were much less difficult. Do you know of any good revision websites with questions?

The multiple choice questions are another set of good marks. Hard but it is were you can boost your marks. What is your easiest/hardest topics.

I find the mechanics side of physics much more enjoyable. However my least is the Waves 2 chapter

Nice, I just need to review a couple of experiments in module 4 and I should be set for them. I use kerboodle which is a system my school uses sometimes along with physics and maths tutor.

I agree. When I look at the options I sometimes doubt my initial answer which is quite annoying. My easiest would probably be mechanics in general too along with electricity. I don't really find any topics really hard, I just generally find the difficult variations of questions in the papers hard xD

If you only have problems with waves 2, I'd say that you're in a pretty good position :smile:

Hi, what´s the difference between Biochemistry and Biotechnology at Imperial(as they share their first and second years)?
Anyone else considering Aeronautical Engineering? I have a huge passion for aeroplanes/aerodynamics. However those entry requirements :/ A*A*A.(Maths,Physics,Any other)

Do you think they will accept me with A*AA or A*A*A (Maths,Computer Science,Physics).
I highly doubt (being realistic) I will achieve an A* in physics especially considering the new specs.

Who is applying for biology? And who is taking a gap year?
Has anyone had an email about applying for accommodation yet?
