Yeah :colondollar: Once you know the rules it's just applying them, and you know exactly what the exam questions are asking for!

In Bio you can give a factually correct answer to the question, but then get marked wrong because they want a 'different right answer'. You literally get exam papers with identical questions but different answers!

And Chemistry is just plain hard haha


Lol share any tips for mechanics please? I can never see what the question wants from me...

Thing is LSE doesn't seem to have any worse prospects, the course is more interesting (much more applied phil and econ with a greater degree of mathematical modelling and no politics), and London is really alluring. I think it's best for me, but rejecting Oxford is not a decision that can be made with light heartedly.

If that's the case, then choose the course you want.

This is a terrible tip, but literally all I can say is do a crap load of past paper questions! Then you'll know the 7 or so types of question that always come up :smile:

That is probably the best thing tbh, but not really viable when you're pressed for time. What exam board are you on, out of curiosity?
(1) Sociology
(2) Biology
(3) Chemistry

Depends whether you mean to pass or to master/get an A*... And this is all subjective, BTW.

Easiest-hardest to pass:
Philosophy
Chemistry
French
Biology

Easiest-hardest to master:
Chemistry
Biology
French
Philosophy
Maths
Chemistry
Biology

I guess this usually changes throughout the year as we cover different topics but in general, I find Biology harder simply because of the sheer volume of information as well as the range of application questions that can be asked in the exam
