Hi there,
I am preparing myself for UCL foundation this year. However, I confused about which textbook should I use for it? Is there any recommendation may you have used and you can suggest?

It would be helpful if you could give us some idea of the level of maths required for your course, so that we can make appropriate suggestions.

Sorry, I forgot to explain and there was a misunderstanding.
I will apply for UCL Foundation in 2017 and they have entrance exam. If I can pass I have change to study there. So, I will prepare myself for this entrance exam. However, I need some recommendations about Maths book.

For foundation they got two options
1. UPCH (Undergraduate Preparatory Certificate for the Humanities)
2. (Undergraduate Preparatory Certificate for Science and Engineering)
I will be applying for second one. And if you are asked for bachelor degree, it would be astrophysics.


Hi,
Yes, actually I have tried UPCSE Math sample test 1: this one was quite all right. But I still forgot some subjects ( Cause I graduated from high school at 2012)
However, for Math sample test 2: it was horrible I could not do anything. Knowledge is gone :smile: I need to recall them with studying.

Do you think " illiterate" is a nice word to say to someone you don't know.
There may be some mistakes. However, it does not mean you can judge people.

Thanks notnek,
I could not understand that kind of people who don't try to help persons instead of judge them.
