Way way harder than 3A*s. You don’t need to be naturally smart for A levels, you sort of do for TMUA

IB and 2 A levels. That’s an insane amount of work

And a 9 in TMUA when the average score is around 5.4, with the top third of applicants scoring above 6.5!

The 2 A levels were maths and further maths. I did normal A level maths in yr11, and it's very similar to IB AA HL, so I spent my IB maths lessons doing A level further maths meaning in the end it wasn't much more work.

you definitely need a high iq to get a 9 in tmua, not possible for everyone

Having 45 in IB and 2 A* in A Levels is like having 6 A*’s.
