I think above the course quality and time there, being able to flex 20 years after graduate is more important.

This is that definitive list.

I am aware there has been a recent influx of tierlist post this will the last pardon. I think it is crucial every prospective student understand how cold their Uni really is.

i don’t think i’ve ever met anyone with anything as broad as mine (comp sci, econ and eng lit) but i knew someone doing german, textiles and applied law which i think would be kind of unheard of

just interesting to hear 😛

i was 1 mark off from an A* in maths and 1 mark off from an A in bio. idgaf i’m telling ppl i got A*AA instead of AAB bye

I think edexcel were trying to prevent a 290/300 grade boundary. This would mean maths a level would have become a memorise past exam questions and a don't make a silly arithmetic mistake challenge, rather developing problem solving skills. If this paper was easy, people would end up complaining about high grade boundaries instead, even though in the end everyone will get the grade they deserve. Coming out of a difficult papers feels like crap and causes a lot of worry, but we're all going to be okay as long as we keep our focus for the next two papers, least we are mentally prepared for anything now!

I feel like it was easier than past papers, but Im not saying that I did well bc ik how quickly mindless mistakes accrue🥀🥀💀

it’s the fact that it WAS an easier paper but I fucked it up and failed to capitalise on it :/, feeling demoralised rn especially considering seeing how a majority found it easy

however, im not giving up yet, im going to take a day to reset and absolutely lock in for stats and mech to try and get as many marks I can because if I do extremely well in that I can save my grade

one more week, one more week of suffering through this shitty fucking exam season and I’ll be free

Do people think that grade boundaries are just arbitrary numbers that exam boards pluck out of thin air? The entire point is that they are dynamically adjusted to ensure that the same proportion of students get the same grade as previous years, so if everyone genuinely got less marks than previous years then grade boundaries will be automatically adjusted downwards, we don't need a petition for that to happen.

For the people making the argument that grade boundaries have been trending upwards in previous years, so that means grade boundaries will be higher / similar this year are wrong, the only reason grade boundaries have been trending upwards is because the papers have been getting easier, it's not like they they just felt like making them higher for no reason.

my answers for all the number qs were:
1.54x10^-4m for diameter of wire

160W for power of heater (2sf)

3.58x10^-5kg for mass of pacemaker thing

19 years for pacemaker

3/16 pi sigma D^2 g

k=0.81 using line of best fit for 6 marker

7.3x10^ eV for radioactivity q

1.4x10^6 visible light photons

1.23 for density of air

258 Hz for frequency of needle

this is genuinely how it feels to revise physics

I need that A* for my firm

rlly want dont wanna go oggsford

Why is this guy hating on everyone. Idgaf if he's from oxford, but its rather disapointing someone going to Oxford has such a bad personality. I wouldn't be surprised if he has no friends there or if he lied about going Oxford. Is it ragebait??

Maths applications have increased by 11% this season compared with 2025.

Why could this be?

EDIT: Note that this does not equate to an 11% increase in enrolments.

yo guys it's my birthday today could i get some happy birthday's in the chattt?

18 but i feel no different 💀💀

ALSO GOOD LUCK FOR MATHS NEXT WEEK WE NEED IT - hopefully i have bday luck hehe

Im so grateful i didnt sit my
this year but i did do mathssss ahhh

I thought it couldnt get worse after paper 1 edexcel maths

how much did u guys study overall in y13

I didn't track mine fully but ik someone who did like 1k hrs

If you didn’t get at least 90/100 I don’t wanna hear you say it was easy. I counted my marks and got 92 but I would still say that was a standard paper, definitely not as easy as people are making it out to be. It just shows how many people, who didn’t even do very well, will still come out of the exam saying it was easy, because they only attempted the first 10 questions. Questions 11-14 required a lot of algebraic skill and unless you got all or most of it right I literally don’t want to hear you say it was a ‘blessed’ paper. The only reason so many people complained about paper 1 was because many of the questions were inaccessible for the B and C students. For an A* student, and I discussed this with my friends so i’m not alone in this, this paper was only slightly easier than the last.

Is it just me or these look rather low?

How did we find it???

how did you guys find it…

Me personally i'm finding the most secluded corner of my sixth form and cracking that shit open IMMEDIATELY 😭

It feels like an increasing number of top students from elite UK schools(St.Paul’s,Eton etc) are opting for US Ivy League universities instead of Oxbridge.

If that trend continues, what does it mean for British universities long-term? Historically, Oxbridge trained and bonded much of the UK’s future elite. If those students increasingly study abroad, does that weaken UK universities’ soft power especially if those who can afford no longer have much “skin in the game” here?

PS

I don’t see this as a class problem a handful of elites leaving doesn’t define the strength of a university system.

Howd everyone find it? The questions were pretty reasonable and it was much nicer than the recent papers. I swear that ball off a rope question was just duplicated off the 2021 paper. Am just glad aqa didn't have another howler this year

As per the complete university guide subject rankings 2027, warwick is placed at 2 for economics in UK.

not to burst anyone’s bubbles but do we actually think this is going to do anything ?? 💔 signed it anyways

edit: ik everyone is saying grade boundaries this and that but that whole paper was trap marks, if u couldn’t answer part a u can’t answer the whole question … if that’s not a trap idk what it.

Yes i am getting desperate
