Is it only me or do some of these question require a calculator.

Take question 10 on the 2007 paper. Like how am I meant to know what cos(10) is loool

If you look at the front page 2007 was a cal paper

you can use the small angle approximations sometimes cos(theta) = 1-((theta)^2)/2

you can use a calculator for the 2007 paper physics section anyway

I'm an international applicant so it takes a little longer for me haha
I was thinking of st.andrews as one of my options but someone toldme its quite an isolated area? and i wouldnt feel right there because i come from dubai and you dont have that type of living exprience here.I am applying to nottingham for sure as well Some of the others ones im considering: One from Manchester/Imperial/Durhamand i think ill go with surrey for my backup, they look lovely

sweet we have pretty much the same predicted grades are you applying for straight physics at imperial? i was thinking about it but they seem reallly harsh with the admissions haha
