Haha, thank you! How are your summer modules goin?

Haha, they're actually going alright, I wish I was this focused in Jan! got 2 more exams but one of them is a biggie! Good luck for the rest of your exams!

Although, I tell my parents the exam was only pass worthy or they start expecting too much :unimpressed:

Don't I recall you saying that you wanted to do a certain Maths with Statistics course? Although those rainbow notes were pleasing to the eye

Yup, this is why i'm so uncertain :/ It seemed like the best option for me at first, I think joining this thread has made me like stats less tbh, some of the questions you guys do look so cooool!
At the same time I think its my best option! well maths+ stats/ maths+ economics/ maths+stats+economics that sorta thing, only thing i'm certain about is the maths bit loool

And yeah, just wait until you get to A2 as its a total different ball game in my opinion :biggrin:

Ahh he's one of them ones lmao, woohoo good way or bad way?

Hmmm yes I have been thinking about that :l
But i still have some time to make a decision so its okay! Thanks for your help anyhow :smile:

That said, you might want to take a look at the TSA. If you find it really easy then you could make an interview just by doing well in that.

Yeah, he's always been one of those but it'll feel even better when I beat him considering I beat him in the mocks :tongue:

And well my exams are a step up from As but can still be quite enjoyable too :smile:

I have actually, it does seem to be something I could excel at. I've been thinking if I do well in that and my predicted grades are AAA* or A*A*A, along with a well written personal statement and relevant reading, I should be able to get to an interview?

Yeah, its all because of the STEP practice I've done has really made me look at C4 in a complete different way and makes it seem rather simple in comparison, that's why I'm sneaking past him as I've tried harder questions to make the normal ones look incredibly easier :tongue:

Also that would be good if you liked the subject but I just get by in the lesson and then just practice quite a lot to understand it all in my own time :smile:

With 90%+ at AS-level you should be given an A* prediction at A-level, so you should easily be given A*A*A. Along with a strong TSA score then perhaps, yes.

I came across this http://www.stdominics.org.uk/media/uploads/Supporting%20Students%20-%20NI.pdf -look under "GCSE Profiles at Oxford (2010 entry)"

However, those stats seem suspiciously low which makes me think that it's almost certainly the average stats of all applicants rather than *successful* ones. If you take a look at the Oxford stalking pages they certainly suggests the number to be much higher.

Yeah that why i'm gonna try getting some practice beforehand in C3 and C4, thats why I didn't really bother with the recent C2 edexcel papers and did these really strange practice papers, doing more difficult questions is an incredibly effective way of dealing with standard questions!
Lots of hard work will defo pay of :smile:
