Sorry I haven't checked TSR in a while. Since the Round 0 already happened I don't think there's much point in going through the sample paper's answers. Does anyone know when the results for R0 will be out tho?

They mentioned that the results would be released on Monday on an email, so not long. Btw how did you (or anyone else) find it? I thought that it was gonna be accessible but I found a lot of the problems really challenging. Can’t remember exactly how many I did but I think I guessed like 12 questions.

On half term this week and my teacher doesn't check her email so I'm going to have to wait in suspense... I'll continue practising Round 1 either way though.

I'm sure it's not, the fact that you were only 1 mark off the qualification boundary shows that you have done fantastic! You still have such a good chance of getting into Oxbridge, hard work is the key! Besides, the most important aspect of these competitions is to have fun doing VERY difficult problems, and the fact that your score is so good reflects that you have a lot of ability :smile:

Well done, and don't give up so soon!
