Too stupid for uni
So I've just started university and I've been given a test to do so they can check what level we're at, and I'm struggling with the most basic maths questions. I know they must be easy because I recognise them from gcse, but I can't remember how to do any of it.
I took a gap year and am starting on foundation year, but now I'm thinking I'm not smart enough for education at all.

nah don't stress when I first started Uni it was a big hit as well ... like you do struggle a bit because it is so different, but don't let it get you down. Keep focused and ask for help if you need it. If you want send the maths questions through and we can discuss them as I might be able to help

My first year I saw a mentor for tons of stuff, all universities should have these services (academic help or whatever they are called).
