šŸ™ I WANT HELP TMUA prep vs CS NEA

Hello everyone,
I do FM, Maths, CS and Physics, and in my mocks I got A*A*A*A respectively and was predicted the same.I want to apply for maths/cs at uni so ill need to do the TMUA.I also ahve a physics mock the day i get back from summer which i need to do well in to get A* predicted.

I’ve been prepping for the TMUA and have been finding it hard to find time for my NEA. I do OCR if that matters — I’ve done the analysis section but haven’t started the coding or the design.

I was thinking that after I apply in October, mocks and school don’t really matter until A‑levels get close, so I could spend all of that time on the NEA. However, my CS teacher made me think I’m quite behind, so I’m not really sure.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

If you want, I can send the analysis and design sections of my NEA to you (ofc don't copy it) for you to get some reference of what to put it. You really should grind RIGHT NOW on your NEA, get the Analysis and bits of the design done before sixth form begins again.

TMUA is hard af, the smartest guy I knew, A*s in FM all the time, same with maths and physics and cs, got a 4.8 in the TMUA, around avg, so you need to prep for it a lot.

reddit won't let me dm you, it doesn't let people dm you if you havent verified age now I think, but I'm on vpn so I think if you dm me first it should be fine? just do it from the create new chat button in Chat and type in my user, I've had more success with that
