Oh my days, Warwick is SO SICK! Best maths building I've been to by a mile! Was good seeing you today as well. :p: If you weren't with your dad we could have jammed! How did you find it? I ain't gonna go for MORSE, I was thinking about it, but I think I'm just going to opt for solid insurance choices now the AAB thing was confirmed lol. THE BUILDING IS SO NICE!


It was good, building was cool but the Parabola shaped maths faculty at Cambridge edges it :tongue: I think i will go for MMORSE and MMath, and i like the AAB bit, put me at ease :tongue: im not sure i could live there for 3 years though.. on campus seems fine, but off campus, leamington spa didnt really attract me, although fairly easy for me to get home if i ever needed! Course looks great though!

Nah, they really don't care about GCSEs don't worry about it. But Cambridge is out of the question. And you might want to check what they want for the core subjects. :/

Yeah, you're right, who am I kidding. :p: Yeah I too will go for MMath, I think with the quality of Warwicks course, it would be a waste not to utilize the extra year. AAB was awesome news. ;D I thought the campus was amazing, but yeah, I agree the town was abit %^£$. I wouldn't stay in the town tbh, I'd rather do accommodation and then move back home to Birmingham. As soon as you leave the university ground Warwicks just full of old people and... nothingness. -__-

Wow - I mean no disrespect but that's not very good! Just practise is all you can do I suppose... :s-smilie:

I completed my first STEP II question yesterday :colondollar: it was... difficult. Put it that way. Screw 45 minutes as an advised time, this took me more like 2 hours!

(STEP II 2007 Q3, integrating 1/(a²+x²)... basically deriving an FP2 result then using it in odd ways. Wasn't too bad until the very last part, which really confused me for over an hour. I tried a few things before I realised my first idea was the right one :tongue:)

What I find is it's best to just keep trying... if you get demotivated, don't immediately leap for the answer. Just come back to it the next day. It's so much more satisfying when you complete it that way :smile:

STEP seems hard now but for us peeps already cracking on with practise, it should be very doable in 9 months time! :biggrin:


I don't think I can say I'm "cracking on with practice", done two questions so far :redface: . One the bright side I managed them both! I'm trying to focus on the MAT for now and then worry about STEP after. Though the MAT is getting uncomfortably close now. :eek4:


On a brighter note, Warwick is nice.

Not quite: a lot of people don't firm the offer, so there are 470 Home/EU firmers and then 240/250 Home/EU freshers. Still pretty scary though.
