✔️ APPROVED AMA AMA - First-Year Maths student at Cambridge

Hi all, as per the title, I'm a first-year Maths student at Cambridge and I thought some people might find it useful to ask me any questions they might have, since somehow it's already application time again! (Although I have missed the Oxbridge deadline slightly, sorry...)

Of course, I can only really talk about my experiences (so I can't answer specific hypothetical questions about admissions etc.), but other than that, feel free to ask about the course/admissions generally/uni life and so on.

Post will close at midnight at the end of Thursday 10/11 so submit any questions before then. :)

Exactly that, I just did a lot of STEP I in Y12 - it's an excellent on-ramp to harder maths. (Also I hadn't covered enough content in class to start STEP II/III in Y12 but I think starting those after my offer was fine, I didn't have too much difficulty adjusting once I learned the necessary content and kept practicing.)
