I have changed the thread title to Current Year 14 Thread 2015/2016 (Class of 2015) probably the best compromise so that those who want Year 14 in the title and Class of 2015 in the title are happy.The new title also allows those on a Gap Year to post and makes it clear that the thread is for college leaves of 2015 but also the Year 14 Thread as most of us are beginning the next year of education.

Even if you go still have to do some resits, you won't have as many exams as this year so you can chill and it will will still kinda be a gap year :wink:

I can't put multiple year numbers in the thread title and I have added in brackets that this refers to those in their first year at University for clarification.We could change it to Year 1 thread since we are the first year of University and it would make us feel small again.If we agree to a change I can change it.

I don't really care, it's just a title lol

I should have 6 exams next year, I will definitely have 3 3hr exams and 1 2hr exam with coursework to do from compulsory modules and then I will have 40 credits free for me to decide what modules I am going to take a 20 credit module would mean pretty much 1 exam and a 40 credit module would mean 2 exams, unless I decide to take a coursework full module which I really doubt I will.

This year I had 18 exams with 3 of them being 3hrs long,2 1hr45mins long,12 1hr30mins long and 1 1hr15mins long and I had two ISAs to do each of them was 1hr long with a practical exam for each.

So I guess we'll have quite a bit of free time :smile:

I might get a part time job then, save some money for that study abroad I've always wanted to do :smug:

University exams will be harder though and require much more in depth learning.

For Maths A Levels most of the content was fairly standard from the previous years papers but at University the problems are much more challenging and require much more thinking outside the box and approaching problems you haven't seen anything like before.

The University lectures won't teach everything and you may even be set a topic to specifically self teach but I self taught a full A Level in Additional Further Maths so I should be fine with the self teaching.I think Universities give out more homework than colleges too you didn't really get that much regularly particularly after Christmas as my Maths/Further Maths teacher didn't want to mark anything, any work he did said he didn't ask us to hand in.

You should be able to get funding for studying abroad, it is part of some degrees I think?

Oh sorry I thought you were talking about a levels :facepalm:

I think so, you only pay 15% of your tuition fees too :o:

I have started a thread for Mathematics at Durham, it is a thread for anyone who is studying Mathematics modules at Durham University(this could well be as part of Physics,Natural Sciences,Chemistry etc).I haven't found anyone to join me in the thread yet.
