They always take time don’t stress! And I actually sat the admissions test back in November and did my interview back in December! It’s not horrible but I’d definitely brush up on integration, trig and differentiation and vectors (year 2)!

Can I ask what subjects you do?

Haha thank you! The real thing was Absolutely disgusting compared to the samples. It could just be me but the integrals were close to impossible to solve on the actual paper :frown:

And yes I do further maths, maths and physics! May I ask what your predicted grades are if that’s ok?

Damn nice!

And don’t be scared, it’s not terrible and to get an interview you don’t have to get like very very high. I think I got around 16 and still got an interview!

They’re a bit harder than A2 I would say, but not impossible. Some were definitely possible to be in an A2 paper. Also, I found it useful to do like textbook questions and try do them in 45 seconds with a timer!

I wish you the best of luck for the best and I’m sure you’ll get an interview and get in! My interview was kinda shaky but we just gotta hope for the best now!

and I think I answered around 16-17 marks (sat it over 2 months ago now sorry I can’t exactly remember 😂) but again, just be very tight with your year 2 calc and trig and you’ll be absolutely fine, you got this!
