Thanks, having the grades puts a lot of pressure off one. :lol:
Bmat isn't too bad if you prepare well!

I don't really wanna take more tests, especially if I flop the UKCAT.

Got a postcard from Exeter today saying they're considering my application, bit late :lol:

Don't worry about the ukcat, lots of uni's don't look into the score too much, some do after interview but if you do well at interviews, the better!

I've emailed a lot of them and the ones I want to go to say they don't have a set cutoff point. And Exeter base interviews on UKCAT & grades, so if I do good, then I'll replace it with imperial.
Personal statement is hardly coming along

That's good news then! :yy:
Exeter and Plymouth have the same admissions policy so you could apply to both and get 2 interviews :yep:

Don't worry about PS for now :lol: Worry in July.

Thank you :biggrin: and yepp, I'll take advantage of this offer when I need to :wink:
Good luck with your application. I'm sure this year will be good for you.

Lol. Remind me again, what's a dative bond, coming from the guy who's applying to chemistry as his 5th choice.

(I'm joking btw :tongue:)


What are your first choices? :')

I'm applying to chemistry as my 5th option. Medicine for the first four :tongue:

yup, picking up FM also next year so that should surely help with C3 and C4? right


I don't think so. AS FM doesn't really help much with C3/C4. FP1 is actually easier than those two units, I'd say.

Wow, everyone is so prepared on here! :eek:

another physics question! woo!

A microlight is a small aircraft powered by a petrol engine. The diagram represents the flight path, AB of a microlight on a short horizontal training flight.

a) on its outward journey the wind velocity is 7.5ms^-1 due north and the resultant velocity of the microlight is 20ms^-1 in the direction 68 east of north, so that it travels along AB
i) show that for the aircraft to travel along AB at 20ms^-1 it should be pointed due east.

b) after flying 10kn in the aircraft turns round and returns along the same flight path at a resultant velocity of 14ms^-1. Assuming that the turn-round time is negligible, calculate the average speed for the complete journey


for a) you can see on the diagram I used trig to find the two lengths of the triangle made under the line AB...whether you need to do this or not i have noooo idea, i really dont get itttt :frown:

b) just...don't. :colondollar:


I've no clue if anyone has responded to this, as I can't be bothered browsing through. Just saw your plead for help. You should quote me in future, as that way I'll notice it sooner.

Component velocity North:

20cos(68) = 7.5 ms-1

That velocity is supplied by the wind acting on the microlight, and I'm assuming some statement about the components showing that it must be pointing East will be satisfactory.

Return time = distance / speed

Distance = 10 km = 10000 m
Speed = 14 ms-1

∴ Return time = 10000 / 14 = 714 s

However, we're asked for the average speed for the complete journey. Refer to part a) and we see that the outward journey was at 20 ms-1.

∴ Outward time = 10000 / 20 = 500 s

∴ Total time for complete journey = 714 + 500 = 1214 s

Average speed = total distance / total time taken

∴ Average speed = 20000 / 1214 = 16.5 ms-1 = 16 ms-1 (2sf)

-1 = 16 ms-1 (2sf)

Part b.

Would it be right to do average speed = 12(u+v)\frac{1}{2}(u + v ) then using u=20 and v=17 average speed = 17ms-1

Or is that wrong?

Same haha. I should really start soon...

Not really :frown: I tried to organise some work experience for this week but that failed. How about you?


Where did you want to do the work experience?

Well I'm just relaxing...don't feel like doing a lot of stuff :tongue:

:smile: x

With a local GP, I want to study medicine :smile:

Haha, me neither... except sleeping :tongue:

Me too i want to study medicine as well :smile: I did a week at a GP it was fun.

Lol i have been sleeping too much :tongue: my excuse is that I'm catching up on all of the sleep that i have missed :tongue:

Hmmm. Perhaps you could do FM, CHEM + bio/physics in your second year, DRAMA. So that'd be 3A2s, 1AS in your second year.


Thanks for the advice guys :smile: I was just a bit confused haha, hopefully it would be fine, they can just ignore it I suppose :P
