alex chui is genuinely just on another level

This year maths seemed pretty brutal. And so did a lot of other exams. Looking online, there seems like quite a large contingent of people who are nervous that they won’t get into their firm. I understand this happens every year, but do a lot of people actually end up resitting? Because if you have an offer from Oxford, you see people online talking about how they might let you in if you miss a grade, or if your a couple marks off an explain they might allow you. But at the end of the day you realise it’s actually just unlikely. If you don’t get the grades, even by 1 mark, that’s just it. There isn’t any oh well you tried we will have you. So for people who don’t have an insurance, or don’t want to go to it, what choice do you even have other than resit?

My issue is I won’t even get into clearing anywhere. If I miss my A*AB offer at ucl and get AAB, there aren’t any good unis that offer AAB clearing so I’m stuffed. I can’t even do clearing

I posted about this on the UKUni subreddit and thought people on here might be going through the same thing because I want answers! I’m 19 and on a gap year so had to go to about 6 pharmacies before finding one that would give it to me. Did it. It was a tiny scratch like all vaccines, thought I’d feel a bit tired or have a headache, instead my arm has been HURTING every single time I move. It’s not like a tiny ache either, it’s the sort of pain that makes me feel physically ill. Is anyone else going through this? I feel slightly crazy but doing anything today has been torture because my arm hurts so bad when I move any other part of my body. If this is normal for this vaccine, how long did it last?

Edited to say that I don’t regret getting it and everyone should get it because a little pain now is so much better than the horrors of meningitis!

A levels are a choice. You should only really do them, if you know that you’ll genuinely revise. If not youll end up regretting everything and when results day comes, you will see that you just about passed or failed your subjects.

thanks

I'm kinda considering a gap year because I've decided I don't really want to settle for less than the best without trying (For maths/physics), is it worth it?

GCSEs: 888775555 (8s are in maths and combined science). I get the average GCSE's are much higher and this is my main concern with applying and why I think it's risky

A level's: A*A*A (Maths Physics Chemistry), I know I need further maths to apply for maths, but I'd be taking it in a gap year (I've already self studied the whole spec and getting A* in past papers so its looking good)

As for supercurriculars I have a few under my belt but nothing like gold IMOs or anything like that so i'm not quite sure, but in a gap year i can fix that

Basically I’m taking biology, English lit and psychology plus an EPQ for a level. Im mainly worried about my options being limited by my lack of math/chemistry (a lot of bio related degrees need chemistry from what I know), cause j genuinely HATE those two subjects and I REALLY REALLY don’t wanna do them. And now my brothers made me unsure cause he basically called English lit and psych useless subjects 💔💔
Please help 😞😞

Litr I keep seeing it on my feed and now apparently some people are being exposed for being racist and homophobic etc. cuz of the elections

I can only get usually 13-15/20 on each paper within 75 minutes... How good/bad is this and are the JZ mocks on a similar difficulty level as the TMUA papers from 2024 and 2025?

Currently in Y12 summer going into Y13. I've heard physics ocr a gets a lot harder and would appreciate any advice. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

hi, starting uni in september and decided its probably time to think about what bank i want to go with, i'm going to a long distance uni regardless of which choice i end up with so the railcard with santander is appealing to me, but i'm only really going to be saving £80 + however much the 1 year railcard will be when i'm starting my 4th year so is that really worthwhile?? nationwide is also appealing to me but idk im just really torn between everything

im so scared i put in so much work and i feel im gonna walk out with a terrible grade 💔

Its been a month since i finished my A levels and i am struggling trying to find a job. Those who have managed to get a part time job, how many applications did it take you and how long?

I've currently applied to about 25 and received around 5 interviews but still no luck.

Incase you guys didn’t know (especially the guys) vinted ebay and such mainly vinted is super good for ties and stuff ties on the high street and shirts are like £10 on vinted you can get loads for that!!

I know it’s a well known site but for those who never used it save some money!!

Hello ,

I am preparing for the TMUA and i’m ready to buy some sort of resource as the free resources seem sort of limited . What are the best options , i’m looking mainly for lots and lots grade 7/9 questions and answers .

Hi guys I am a y12 student currently studying maths bio chem in a grammar school. I want to apply for medicine but I am very nervous about whether I would be able to get into medicine at all.

My current choices are ucl imperial kings and bristol

and my predicteds are A*A*A with A in chem.

I have done 3 work experience in hospital and did two independent research, and I am planning to read some books about medicine( pls give recommendations if theres any). I am sitting ucat in start of September and score is around 2000-2200 ish.

Is this enough for medicine application and would the A in chem hinder a lot. My GCSEs were decent with 10 9s and 2 7s. I really appreciate any advices and hopefully get some advices for application.

Due to a few personal reasons, I've not been able to complete my submission for the Julia Wood History Essay Competition, and I was just wondering if anyone knows if Oxford views doing non-affiliated essay competitions with the same weight as doing one ran by their own colleges.

I'm hoping to submit my entry to an essay competition that isn't affiliated with the university, but I'm worried that it might look a bit less prestigious on a personal statement. Is this the case?

I am looking to sit the TMUA test at the Pearson Vue Professsional Centre in Horley.

I just wanted to know whether they provide a whiteboard, laminated sheets or pen and paper for working out so I can prepare myself.

Any help will be much appreciated.

idk man im scared I might not get into my sixth form, I know ive met my minimum requirements but its rlly competitive so you need a lot more points than the minimum to get in ( minimum is 52 in my best 8)

Is it possible to fast track a Pearson BTEC Business course? I’ve been thinking for a while about switching from A Levels to a BTEC next year, depending on my A Level results and whether fast tracking is an option. I’ve done the first year (AS) of A Level Business, so I’m hoping that might give me somewhat of an advantage :’)

I'm a year 12 student (going into year 13) and I was thinking of applying to LSE economics and maths instead of pure economics. I have 3 A*s/A stars predicted in Maths, Economics and Chemistry and an A in Further Maths. My GCSEs, although not great (9999888775) were the best in my school's cohort and I meet the mandatory 6 in Maths and English language (9s in both). My question is, how much harder is it to get into Maths and economics than just pure economics with an A in Further maths or should I just stick with applying to pure economics?

in a weird situation but basically i messed up last math paper and it has me stressing, and a* is looking 50/50. my other subjects are fm and compsci and i think i got A* and A*/A in them respectivley. I am also prepping for TMUA again i sat last year and did pretty well. Is there a chance i will be accepted into top unis such as oxbridge, imperial, etc if i resit maths + i can replicate a high tmua score?
ideally i need a*/a*/a with a*s in maths and fm but the a* in math is kinda shaky. I really dont want to resit just the thought of doing a levels again is killing me and it is quite difficult to enjoy my summer :/

on a side note - I have looked at LSE's financial math and stats course which requires A*AA with an A* in math but would an A* in fm suffice?

any advice/help would be much appreciated.

edit: I am applying for maths

Probably should’ve asked before, but i purchased the 11th gen A16 ipad for sixth form with the accompanying pencil.

I do all my work online and i used a laptop for GCSE so im continuing this for sixth form so i got my own ipad and about to get the keyboard, but would it have been better to get a laptop?
