Mega A Level Maths Thread MK II

Original post by tigerz

OOH that's a really good 18 marker to get! Would of loved it :')
So I got 69 UMS in economics and potentially 69 raw marks in maths >.< seriously, my UMS scores may be half-arsed bull-**** but they're quite unique and special!

Haha yup Maths and Economics are my fave, dropping Psychology hopefully I can get 3 A's for A levels :biggrin:

Uhm I don't know exactly yet, going for Maths+Econ/ Maths+ Stats, and potentially Actuarial Science I'm gonna look properly and decide after exams but my list consists of LSE, City, UCL, KCL and QMUL as back up (Haha all the names are so similar, apart from City :giggle:

)

That's alright, 69 UMS is a special case so I won't consider that to be half-arsed bull**** :wink:

Fair enough then, I would love to travel abroad and see how the curriculum would differ, also if I just stayed in Canada I'm curious to see if it would be anymore rigorous than the UK's.

Canada?
What's the hardest Alevel maths module you've done? I mean the one you found the hardest at the time.

What if she is that good? :eek:

Yeah but LotF is probably IMO standard tbh :lol:

I'd personally think her meeting LotF and getting the smugness wiped off her face would be 10x more satisfying :lol:

LOOL, I have special UMS/Raw scores :wink:

I need to avoid getting myself into maths questions I can't solve today :P

I agree C1 is the most annoying one >.<

Its my nationality and where I used to live. And out of all the ones I'm doing and have done I'd probably say M2 as sometimes I can't understand what the question is asking for in my head, once I have its pretty simple but I never have that problem with C3, C4 and FP2 so yeah but that's just my opinion and I know that in fact FP2 is meant to be deemed harder than M2. How about you?

LOOL, exactly

Ahhh, thank you :P I did say if I can do it by makes all evens equal 2n and all odds equal 2n+1, but the odds may have failed, I get how to do it now though, thank you!!

Yup but when I printed it out (I do my exams apart from maths on computer :redface:

) I had this massive block of text on my main argument, I also said that if there was a high exchange rate their could be lower demand for exports, and therefore lower demand for jobs and more unemployment as the circular flow of income has being affected by exchange rates (injections/withdrawals) then this would lead to unemployment which would lead to perhaps a higher payment of benefits which would lead to more government spending increasing inflation and perhaps a higher multiplier effect :teehee:

. Loved every second of it :biggrin:

Same here!, well maths, fm and econ all are my subjects next year, history can go die in a hole. Seriously the amount of content is mind boggling :eek:

. Was the 69/75 in C2 perhaps? I am sure you'll still break 90 (most likely)

I am sure that you will get 3A's :biggrin:

Awesome choices your throwing around there, I was also considering maths+econ at some point, but if I did my PS would probably be weaker, and I'd have less interest in the course so its good that I changed to pure maths :biggrin:

.

I do want to specialise in stats though at university, want to work in some sort of business using complex maths :smile:

.

Very nice choices!, all in London as far as I know ? :P I'm from London and I want to gtfo immediately, I've being here all my life and its just boring now, so hence my uni choices are thus far. Cambridge, Bristol, Exeter, Warwick and one other. But I hope you get into the uni you want, noticed that pretty much all of your unis apart from city have and L in them :tongue:

. Sorry for the wall of text xP

When I did it last year, probably M1.

But you just got to love that for the Module you actually have to use your brain to work out the sums whereas in all the rest you've got a calculator to help aid you :tongue:

Fair enough and to be honest M2 isn't any harder than what M1 is like, I just like to understand the question before attempting it.

I reassure you :biggrin:

With regard to your application for maths, I know we've realised that Cambridge interviews abroad but have you made enquirees about other UK institutions that you'll be applying to, for maths?

It's alright I'm also part Northern Irish as my mother is Canadian but my father is Northern Irish so I can have the luxury of two passports to get around the horrific international fees :tongue:
