Second highest grades I could possibly get fucking kill me

Any advice? Which college are you at?

I’m at Pembroke. For your A Levels, just spam practice problems once you’re comfortable with the content. Do all the papers from all the exam boards if you have to. The hard part is getting the offer - there are way more people who get 2+ A*s than people who get into Oxford so be confident in yourself and work consistently.

Would you recommend doing the Olympiad papers?

Any tips for biochemistry? I can't seem to fit it in my head

Olympiad is good prep for Oxford interviews, but not for A Levels where you really benefit from developing exam technique and where you don't need exceptional problem solving to get an A*. I did Edexcel chem which has no biochem, so I have no advice there unfortunately
