Current Year 13 thread Mark I (2014-2015)

That's the plan I'm guessing Cambridge will be your firm but what about your insurance?

Bristol for définite.

I'd have to choose between them as firms tbh, if I were to receive a Cambridge offer. Because Bristol is a year in industry while abroad, but Cambridge doesn't guarantee any abroad.

But I'd probably have to firm Cambridge just cos of the name and all.

Hmm, I don't know about you but if I were given the opportunity to study at Cambridge I'd take it, just because... Unless you like Bristol a lot more than Cambridge, I can't see why not

The only reason I applied is because my parents wanted me to. I have no interest in London at all, nor do I like it. I have an offer from my (essentially) first choice already so, which came 3rd this year for Chemical Engineering in the UK... 2nd and 1st were probably Imperial and Cambridge though

Half term tomorrow

If it was me, I would just work harder at A2 to ensure you get an A, rather than utilise precious time on C2. Having said that, if your weakness was logs or differentiation, A2 will improve you at these topics so it might be worth retaking C2

I retook C2 and it really added no pressure whatsoever- I did a couple of practice papers and that was it, you'll have built on it all in the later modules so there really won't be much revision to be done! In the end I wouldn't have got an A in maths had I not retaken it, so it was definitely worthwhile for me and I think it probably would be for most people!

2 weeks offfff

Two weeks!
Only have one

If you guys lived in London would you go to a university inside or outside of London?

My issue is more that as it stands I'm about 5 UMS off a B, so I have basically no room for error in A2. My main weakness was trig, which I suppose there is quite a bit of in A2...



Oh okay cool - did having to re-learn geometric series etc not take up much time then?

2 weeks offfff

Nope, I did a few extra questions on them (I'd borrowed a textbook from school) I think but other than that I got back into them pretty quickly, probably more so than i had in the first place if I'm honest



Two?!

Yeboi

Two weeks of no work basically

Well one day I'll do all my hw

You'll be able to get it all done in a day? Used to take me much longer than that! What subjects are you doing now, physics chem and FM or something else as well?

Wahaaaaaay

Unlucky

Physics, chem fm and self teaching French. She gave me three essays to do for french because I haven't done anything...

So yeah, shouldn't take too long

Few hours max

Just have Cambridge firm and Bath insurance if you get in

Living the dream

had a friend who was like that.

Firm: Cambridge HSPS
Insurance: LSE (whatever their PPE equivalent is)



you don't HAVE to take Cambridge just for the name. I mean, from what I've heard from my girlfriend, she's envying people who go to sheffield right now...
