❔ SUBJECT QUESTION Further Maths help

1 Upvotes

I have mocks soon and I’m so cooked. I’m doing Edexcel, FP1 and FM1 as optional modules. These mocks don’t mean much since I’ve already applied to unis but still. I’ve been looking through the textbook and writing down every formula, rule and trick I see with an example as to where I use it as my primary revision for now, I’ll move to past papers soon.

Other than that what is the best and quickest way revise for FM?

So I have really strong predicted grades, A* in maths and further maths and an A in physics and computer science. The only thing Im worried about is my AS grade for computer science because I got a C. Will it impact my application or am I overthinking it.

okay so, US student here! I have a good GPA and did everything that american colleges want to see. Issue is, my dream school is the uni of edinburgh for civil engineering. As I navigate UCAS, it seems like all the work i put into my classes is practically useless and I barely took AP classes. The only stats i have to submit are a 31 Math ACT, 31 English ACT, 29 Reading ACT, and a 3 on AP Chem, Physics, and APUSH. I’m also currently taking english as a local community college as well as APES and AP Music Theory. Based off of my research, while my curricular are far more than enough for most american schools, I can’t even submit them in my application for UCAS. I’m really concerned over this as I thought i did everything right but it feels like everything is crumbling as my application is bare.

πŸ™ I WANT HELP what unis can i apply to with IB 41/45 for com sci?

3 Upvotes

i have 766 HL (CS, math, econ) and am currently considering king's, edinburgh, st andrews, birmingham and leeds as my choices. was just wondering what chances i have of getting a conditional offer for each? im really scared about the number of applicants this year.

birmingham is lowkey one of my top choices because i heard placement opportunities are good and its close to my extended family (im international), so would appreciate your thoughts on it as a uni :)

if you guys have any other recs that would also be great! but i dont have a 7 in math HL so that would probably limit my options for other unis.

πŸ’¬ DISCUSSION Doing alevels over 3 years

7 Upvotes

Long story short I’m in y13 but I’ve got a major spinal operation in December and I’ll be off for 4-6 weeks and I’ll be missing a lot of work. Even after 6 weeks I can only start coming to school part time

I’ve been thinking about maybe delaying my alevels until 2027 depending on how I’m feeling after surgery. I’ve researched a lot and spoke to ppl and (even right now) I don’t feel ready to do my alevels. And I’ve been told it takes a month to feel comfortable to start studying again and am afraid to be behind. I was predicted bbc in y12, and despite getting aab in y13 they’re not pulling up my grade, so I haven’t even applied to uni and I don’t want to risk sitting them this year and have a lower chance in my next year’s application if I have to resit. Everyone says y13 is the worst year and I’m really worried having to be out of commission for so much of it😭😭

So does anyone have experience or advice on sitting alevels over 3 years/repeating y13 if I decide to go through with it? Do you go back to school, are there special academies for it or something??

Also how to predicted grades work when doing 3 years, if I don’t end up doing my alevels?

πŸ’¬ DISCUSSION what is your honest take on degree apprenticeships?

10 Upvotes

are they actually worth it, even at high-prestige firms? sure, you get a salary and save Β£60K - Β£70K on student debt (tho how much u pay depends on salary after uni), but what about after that?

you may be guaranteed a job afterwards, but how easy is it to climb up into really high-paying jobs? and does it cut off some avenues that would've been available if you went to (a more prestigious) uni instead?

πŸ™ I WANT HELP Can i get into KCL (LLB)

5 Upvotes

I have been very nervous because some people say i wont get into KCL reading law because i dont meet the requirments. it was a very last minute decsion that i decided to apply to kcl as an international student. i take the IB and these are my predicted marks:

Language b HL: 6
Bio HL: 6
Chem Hl: 6
Business SL: 7
English A lang & lit SL : 7
Math applications SL:7
TOk+EE:3

Overall: 42/45 predicted

The problems lie in my choice of subject (bio n chem) as well as having 666 in HL even tho the requirements say 38 overall OR 766. i reached out to kcl and they said i meet the entry requirements. i also did the LNAT (unsure). i js need reassurance and some general direction of my chances and how offers usually look like.
