I wouldn't apply to imperial, as you got to do an extra admissions test after you apply, and they take it really seriously. If you mess up, you've already wasted one place. -

Had my chemistry EMPA yesterday, with the written test tomorrow.
It's a retake though, I got 20/24 on my first go, which is an A, so I'm not too bothered with how I perform this time.
I love doing titrations, though. -

We had the Edexcel June 2010 paper - it was alright I guess, but the last question caught me out(as well as the binomial one)

Oh right we're with AQA. I'm sure you'll have done well, at least it wasn't the actual exam -

oh - I have AQA for Biology and Chemistry - sooooo annoying with all of the How Science Works bullsh**
Salters may be a hard course, but they ask you relevant chemical information, not How science works and application nonsense. -

That's why I'm so pleased I do Salters Chemistry- I couldn't stand doing another science (along with biology) with AQA.

Is there any difference between OCR and OCR Salters?
In general isn't it just a branch of OCR I think... -

I'd much rather go for the Salters course then. Is that OCR?
I think it's more useful as a chemistry course, and unlike the others, which are more geared towards just keeping to the A level syllabus, the people at Salters are clearly passionate chemists keen to spread their scientific knowledge.
And yes, there is a difference with normal OCR -

Yeh, it's OCR B. Not the normal OCR, a special branch of it.

For all you Barts and The London enthusiasts out there, a copy of the email sent out to all medical students from the Dean of Education here:
Dear All
I wanted to write to all Barts and The London MBBS students with a piece of good news. The scores for the Foundation Year application process have now been released and I’m delighted to tell you that the average score for Barts and The London students this year was the second highest in the country.
This is a remarkable achievement. It reflects what we have been saying for a long time – that we have an excellent body of students and that the School greatly adds value. And it is very much in line that the messages I am getting from various sources, such as the finals examiners and interviewers for applicants, that we have and are continuing to attract ever better students and are providing an ever improving education.
Well done to everyone involved – the academics and support staff and, of course, the students themselves. The message is clearly beginning to get out there that our graduates are clearly amongst the best in the country and will prove major assets to the organisations fortunate enough to be able to employ them.
I hope you have an excellent Easter/Spring break.
Best wishes
Anthony Warrens
Dean for Education
Obviously Imperial came top, but they are all nerds anyway.Banter.

That's exactly what I don't like about AQA Biology (and to some extent AQA Chemistry) - it just seems that if you 'revise' mark schemes, you'll get full marks - as opposed to the traditional learning the content and getting a good mark. -

Completely agree with this. And it's very annoying.
