What sort of stuff do you do? I'm really looking forward to this sort of stuff i.e. cosmology, GR etc
Well this year, we focused on stuff that is predominately within our Solar System. So this was a lot of planet movement and orbits, the build up of stars, the working of the telescope :yuck:. Next year it gets more interesting as we look at more cosmology and stuff that I find more interesting (cluster of galaxies, dark matter etc.) I'm hoping that in my third year I would be able to do a particular course at UCL called "Physical Cosmology" I'm also taking some modules in my third year, one of them being "Space-Time Geometry and General Relativity" or "Cosmology and General Relativity" (depending which one I get accepted onto)
This week and next week are gonna be bad :< Triple exam clash on Thursday which includes Philosophy Implications and FP3 and C4. Wahhh. Then next Thursday I have a clash of M2 and an S2 resit (of which I initially got 60/100.. how awful)
I'll struggle to not get an A* in Maths now, but I still need two more 90s in either M2, S2 or FP3 (already got a 90 in D2 last year ) to get the A* in F Maths.
And then I don't even wanna talk about STEP/AEA papers...

Yay I'll be doing the M2/S2 together as well, fun times. My plan is to 100 FP3 to get the A* in FM.
Next week is bad here for poor eldest son. Monday STEP I, Wednesday STEP II and his 18th birthday, Thursday M3 and Friday S2 and M4 back to back in the afternoon. Friday evening is heading to Belfast with a pile of friends for the weekend which I'm sure will be a calm and sensible occasion!

Oh goodness! 3 exams on one day! What are you going to do?
Bah! There are still maths exam clashes? That is insane. At least the exams are only 90 minutes long. I seem to remember a bizarre clash of P1 and P3 (so C1 and C3/4), but surely there's a better way to schedule to further minimise clashes :-/
Good luck all. I hear some of the mechanics has been awful...

The boards agree on 9 half day sessions for Maths exams. There will therefore generally be 2 exams per session. How the individual boards schedule their exams within those sessions is up to them. Edexcel largely do it by putting an AS module with an A2 module and a single A level module with a FM module, but this doesn't suit everybody, especially if they are doing resits.
That's just ridiculous! Surely nearly everyone taking M5 is also taking FP3?
Maybe. If you are one of the 250 or so candidates worldwide taking M5, you are wither not doing any Statistics modules or not doing both of FP2 and FP3.

Not necessarily as quite a few are probably doing additional further maths
