Doing all maths and further maths in year 11-p ambitious. What maths are you going to do in sixth form start self teaching UG stuff or just step? Also yeah what subjects do you want to take in year 12-13? Computer science, physics and chemistry sounds like a good combo (cambridge like you to complete 3 in year 13 although they might be a bit more relaxed with maths). You might end up needing to retake a couple of the fm modules unless you are just insanely good at maths and can get 90+ ums in p much everything.

In year 12, I'll be focusing on STEP Maths (STEP1-3) and will be taking AEA for a second time next year. Apart from STEP, I'll also focus on problem solving and will really start doing Olympiad Maths a lot. Also, an admission guy from Imperial came to my school and told me he'll be inviting me to some sort of online course or something for mathematicians to learn about partial differentiation, fourrier/laplace transform and other higher level Maths (also number theory; modular arithmetic in detail and other stuff) so I'll be continuing that next year.

Yeah, those 3 are looking to be my main 3! I quite enjoy Computing but the Computing departmnet at my sixth form is not that good - they don't teach that much so the highest scorer in AS was like 50%.

Yeah that's true. I may end up retaking some modules if I do badly in them but my school is only putting me in for it if I can do well and to be honest (this may be impossible), I'm aiming for 100 UMS in most modules (apart from mechanics as I often make very silly mistakes as my Physics isn't that great).

Wow, well done, very good target goals. How did you find this years UKMT?

Do you think M3 is your hardest module? I'm doing D1 instead of M3 and D1 is my least favourite module by far.

Thank you and I found it pretty good. I unfortunately got question 15 wrong as I'm not that good with diagrams but I'll start preparation for the Olympiad. What about you?

For me, M3 is quite hard (and mechanics is just hard to self-teach). I found C1-C4, FP1-FP3 relatively easy to learn because all the content and questions are available (examsolutions and Professor Leonard teaches all the Calculus in an amazing way; amazing guy!).

I think S1-S2 is fine since it's just calculator work but I'm finding mechanics pretty hard. My Physics background is pretty shaky but I find decision even harder as I just find it boring unfortunately. What modules are you doing?
