Cambridge Engineering College Question

Short question,

does anybody know if there is a college for cambridge engineering that doesnt require an A* for further maths? I take physics, maths, comp sci and further and predicted A*A*A*B and hoping that wont cook my application especially considering im definitely gonna bomb the ESAT

thanks in advance

Cambridge Engineering is very Maths-heavy. Is there a reason your teacher(s) won't predict you higher?

i think its mostly because my predicted for further maths is given off average module test scores and for me I either do well in a topic or I completely fail it especially because of time constraints or lack of revision. e.g. the other day i did a further calculus test and got 24/30, and a poisson distribution test in which i got 29/30 and then failed a differential equations test with 5/14 because i was doubting myself integrating cotx

i genuinely think i wont get lower than a b in further all things said and done and i think an a is probably most likely so im talking to my teachers about it but it sounds unlikely for them to boost it but if i dont boost it then whats the point of applying to cambridge and stressing over the ESAT tomorrow?
