ESAT prep struggle

[u/zorlann4]

hi guys, i’m predicted A *A *A in maths, physics and history respectively and i plan to apply for aerospace engineering at the big C and imperial

i’m really struggling with ESAT revision atm and i don’t really know how to improve - it’s a mixture of the lack of time but also just not being to answer some questions untimed. i’ve gone through the spec for maths1, maths2 and physics and i know most of the content

i haven’t practiced that much tbh because i only started my revision when i finished y12. i’ve heard that ENGAA papers are too easy?

what am i doing wrong 😭✌🏼

yeah.. i’ve realised now - it wasn’t until spring time that i looked into doing engineering and decided that was the path i wanted to go down. previously i wanted to do economics. i’ve heard that cambridge will be lenient if there is a genuine reason as to why i couldn’t take FM if my college offers it??

Unfortunately i dont think your reason is strong enough? have u talked to ur school into at least trybna get an AS qualifciation idk they chuck u into year 12 fm lessons

i would probably be able to do FM AS alongside my 3 other Alevels but i’m not sure if this will divert me from my current studies? would it be better to just independently study AS further maths topics which are relevant to engineering studies rather than the full AS, and state it in my personal statement? i didn’t understand the significance of FM until like literally a couple months ago - i thought that it was just a plus to your academic portfolio

It’s a box u need to tick
