Current Year 13 Thread (2013/14) - Mark I

I guess that's true, but yeah, you don't have to start from the beginning of the courses which is good

I did keeping it to A2 because I'm crazy. You should, especially if you like it, you get more practice time now

Great plan I'm thinking Bart's Leicester, Liverpool and Sheffield. Any places you may be thinking?

Btw, quoted lilGem below in case you haven't seen her

Maybe I'm over-thinking things and should take them one step at a time.

Done, and welcome!



Hi!

Done!




Sure

That's probably on the 4th or 5th. The first week back, I feel excited too and then after the second week, I can't even remember why I was excited. It always happens

Yeah it's great really Bit of a head start.

That is crazy! I guess I'll see what happens really What else are you taking to A2?

Nice! I'm sure you'll get to wherever you want. I like UEA and Southampton but I'll see!

Thanks! I didn't actually

*Cliche alert* IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

I am Keron's smart slave :P

Hmmm, that's true I guess. I mean (without sounding too arrogant) that with months of STEP prep, I could do the papers successfully at the comfort of my desk but **** gets serious when you're sitting there in the exam hall and exam pressure messes with your mind. I mean, I was doing better in past papers leading up to the exam and then on the day, the pressure that if I get anything below a 1 might harm my application got to me and (imo) I under-performed, I made some of the daftest mistakes on the paper. I can't even imagine how I'd feel with a uni place hanging on the line. That's true that I could screw up on the MAT as well I guess and if I did, course I'd be disappointed if I didn't get called for an interview but I'd get over it. For Cambridge, the thought of prepping for the interview (and if I get an offer) investing so much time and effort into STEP all to be left disappointed on results day, that would hurt a lot more. I dunno, maybe I'm over thinking things, maybe I should just take things one step () at a time.

We have very different ideas of fun!

Nope, why did you think that?

See that's the thing, I honestly wouldn't mind being at Oxford instead, I'd love both courses. It's just, I've been set on Cambridge for so long, it's become somewhat of an aspiration, I don't want to give that up.

Give Usy (still trying to figure out his real name) your subject info plz

Yeah - that's pretty much me in a nutshell as well haha. I can definitely see your point, it's your choice at the end of the day. I personally think that if I applied to Oxford I'd stand a better chance now with my A-levels but I'd rather apply to Cambridge as I haven't even visited Oxford!

Nice pun, that was swarve

Ah fair enough. I'm keeping biology, chemistry and psychology

They're good unis, hopefully you'll be able to apply there next year

Hahaha, dat quote edit xD I have :P Maybe I didn't ask nicely, if you're reading this usy, please could you edit me in


Fair enough I guess, I've only done a MAT paper once but I'll start looking into them again as I'll need them for Imperial anyway.

Computer Science
AS: Physics, Maths, Computing, Early Modern History.
A2: Physics, Maths, Computing
Wanted Uni: University of Exeter

I just thought you were... All the hate you spewed for it

Is anyone else intrigued by courses like "Dance and movement studies with business"? I'm considering "maths with music" as my 5th non med course!!
