both of them are around 20 to 30mins, surrey maths offer is 8 in math , 7 in physics and cs , 6 in a writing based subject + 5 passes at gcse. , tiffins doesnt give offers but it tends to be top 600 people applied r given spaces

600 places?

Go to the induction days and see which you prefer. You can hold two offers and then make up your mind when you get your results.

Have you been to both?
Which do you like the best? Which one do you feel you will do better at? Do both offer the courses that you want to do? What are the commutes to both like?

the commutes are similar , i honestly like surrey maths more from like what they offer but i also quite like the idea of a olympiad support club at tiffins(Rieman Zeta Club) , i am visiting both of the schools for familerization days in the next weeks, i feel like i would do as well at both but idk about surrey maths just yet as they havent gotten their first set of results yet and both of them offer the courses i would want to take.

I would go to the familerization days and see what you think to them then.
