I've only had cells so far, it was alright. I finish on the 10th, at which point I'm aiming to overshoot LD50 for alcohol.


I thought you were a phys natsci? We have a maths exam on the 12th?

Yes, sorry I got the dates muddled... My brain is trying so hard it remember things sometimes it just doesn't work.

Sounds like things are getting tragic already, haha. All the best guys.

I've only done one exam and I already want to puke thinking about results day, lol. Anybody else feeling like theirs have gone badly?


Yep, 90% sure I'm missing my offer. Actually I'm not really that scared about it, it's pretty inevitable for me. Uncertainty causes fear.

Almost makes me feel guilty for having an unconditional......

You'll probably be fine. I tend to find there's a negative correlation between how well I think I did in an exam and my actual result.

Hang in there. Cambridge clearly thinks you are more than capable, as do your teachers. You'll be fine :smile:

Thanks for the kind words guys, but I'm still pretty sure I'll fail it. But I'm alright with that, easy insurance I'm happy to go to.
Excellent job getting an unconditional, really jealous! :biggrin:

Have you already sat your exams? As in, applying after completing A Levels?

Yah.

I'm on my gap year atm, but I have done some exams because I've been self-teaching AS economics and A-Level maths. I'm kind of thinking the former is probably a write off (I didn't really do any past papers or anything because for about two months I had a job in politics that literally required 16 hour days at points), but maths has gone well so far. Just C3 and C4 left now.

Not being under any pressure is a massive luxury though.

Physics went relatively badly (apart from the relativity question which was relatively okay).

Already planning my transfer to some second rate university. I'm thinking about oxford at the moment.

I'm sure it went fine! (lol at the relativity pun)

Can you actually transfer to Oxford in second year? (provided you did well enough)

The rocket question was beautiful <3

Fields was okay, I really ****ed up SHM and Quantum though.

I didn't even read the other mechanics questions... LCR was okay quantum was awful the fields went okay. The errors question in section A was vindictive as it tried to stop you using partial differentials to do the problem. All in all Id be very happy to have scrapped a 2.i which hopefully I will do as I averaged 90% in the labs

I love how your communication only occurs in this thread. Do you even know who the other is? You probably pass one another all the time :tongue:.
Anyone with an offer for History, have you chosen your papers??

Ps.. My offer is A*AA to do History at Fitzwilliam.
