Economics applicants 2015

I suppose this has made me focus on my other subjects more though so probably quite beneficial, what subjects are you doing this year?

I guess so yeah. I'm doing further maths, econ, chemistry, french and latin. I guess I can mess up two of them but I shouldn't really think about it like that- I'll try my best in all of them and hope I can get that A* I need. I am missing a proper essay subject like eng lit or history though, I hope I can pick up that skill if I get in. What subject do you think you have the best chance for an A* in?

Econ probably but maybe further maths, English is too much of a risk

Don't know how you can face Latin, that subject's so hard

Econ, fm and chem I think I could get it in but not sure about the others.

English was always my hardest subject at gcse so I don't think I could do it at A-level. Good to have an essay subject I guess

Yeah it is hard, mainly because I don't have many timetabled lessons so a lot of self-study is involved - I enjoy it though, so I'm able to persevere.

Oh really? I'm just self teaching s3, couldn't imagine doing more than a few subjects completely on my own

I feel the same way about Columbia, that's one of the main things I want to find out from the open day tbh, the competition for each of the unis abroad

Mine's Wednesday 3rd of Feb, you?

Wednesday 4th of feb, so is yours the same day or Tuesday 3rd?

Yeah but it only had 53 applicants this year. I was hoping the 104 would put people off and it seems like it did������

Also I did all the TSA practice papers and was getting high marks so St. John's was the only one using the TSA

Congrats for the offer at Johns - plz may I ask about the TSA - any particular books you would recommend or any other tips? Many thanks.

Tbh I didn't do too much practice for it, I did all the papers I could find online but I didn't do anything beyond that. I was doing a lot f practice for maths competitions at the time though which were much harder questions but involved similar approaches to questions so I'd maybe advise doing lots of the UK maths challenge questions if possible. Message me if you have any other questions if you want ������
