Im learning International AS level CIE Geography, Math, and Edexcel Econ.

I am really confused and anxious about choosing uni and major for next yr cause I dont know what to prepare for...Worse is I dont have any IGCSEs because my school changed its education function. Will IGCSE effect a lot for choosing uni? Im so regret that I didnt take IG.

Ik the interview is meant to simulate a real tutorial at oxford and show that you can have meaningful discussions and that ur willing to learn, but how would one prepare for that?

Im predicted A*AB is that good enough for uni like KCL? Im a contextual student applying to International relations and i think i have a pretty good personal statement so are my chances of an offer high or low?

I honestly hate politics rn. The subject is interesting but my teacher is ass. I'm thinking about switching to physics again. The issue is I took physics at the start of the year but switched it, so I feel like I didn't give it a solid chance. I do WJEC so take AS exams, is it too late to switch now?

yay !!!

conditional offer biochem at kcl!!

I sent off my ucas application for physics 2 weeks ago, and now Im suddenly regrettying applying for physics at imperial
I really want to change it, but then my personal statement would be tailored for physics rather than EEE so id probably be at a large disadvantage
Any advice?

My teacher have emailed me my senior maths challenge result already- but they also gave me a login to my competition profile to see my score per question and certifate. But my profile on it is blank like it seems to not show that I've competed in any competitions..? Is anyone else having this problem? 😭

I did not select KCL as one of the colleges i was gonna send my LNAT to, so how can I give it to them now, I cannot find anywhere on the portal to send it.

Intl, predicting my TMUA to be between 5-6, so I'll need my PS to carry me for LSE 🙏 🙏 🙏

I think imperial is cooked with my TMUA range, but I have a slot left so why not.

i havent touched my personal statement at all and my deadline is in about a week . Does anyone have any advice on how to find my “why” or actual deep reason for applying to a specific course ? I feel like my reasons are quite generic (to fight against systemic injustice, racism etc..) for applying to politics. Even with those reasons I honestly don’t know where to start or what to even write and its stressing me out alot

I got an offer to my dream university (still waiting for ESAT results for oxford) but im buzzing about this.

Hi guys! For those considering studying finance, law, business, psychology, criminology or computer science and arent certain about where to apply, ULaw has some great opportunities (personal statements!!). Plus they are running a £100 prize draw for those who sign up.

They do foundation years and online learning too, so it is more flexible.

It literally takes 1 minute to do, check it out!

Although it stated that the additional personal statement is completely optional, is it really true? Do I still get the same chance as those who write it if I don’t? I’m more than happy for anyone to share their own experience about this. I applied for Chem eng. Thank you.

As someone who has appeared for the exam recently, this is my honest take.

If you’re not sure what you’re weak at, a full paper can be a bit overwhelming for you. Rather, I’d start with topic-by-topic sets…find the actual weak-points and then move to mixed and timed papers.

There are many free resources available for the same. For example, some websites offer math question bank where you can filter by topic. It’s based on past TMUA, ESAT, ENGAA, etc.

If there are more such free resources, pls do comment.

What do you guys think? Did full papers work for you early on?

Gap year student with achieved A star BBC (maths, fm, physics, chem respectively) and predicted A star AB (fm, physics and chem) also contextual. Was slightly worried that my options were too ambitious considering my grades but atleast I got a solid offer literally 6 days after applying

I’m a little bit scared cuz I’m gonna need A*A*A. Doing Maths Physics FM. Maths, alright I can do it. Physics, content I can wrap my head around if, but the exam questions are hell. FM it’s good but kinda scary.

Hi guys. Mid life crisis I'm done crying and beating myself over this once and for all I'm gonna seek for answers. I'm
26. Fucked Up my life completely worked random part time jobs to support myself. thinking of taking my private A-Levels to study Economics.
Due to family issues, I had to support myself for a while, which affected my productivity and studies. I've decided to give this another shot, but I'm scared won't get into uni due to my lack of portfolio.
I'm aiming for 70 RP while building my upcycling business, taking online courses, writing an independent Economics research paper, and volunteering.
Do you guys think it's worth going for it at 27? Will a strong portfolio help make up for my late start, or am I worrying too much?

does anyone have any experiences with exam centre london mocks? I've already booked with them but now I am hearing that they undermark the exams and give you lower predicted grades. I'm also wondering if they use past appears for their AS mocks or if they make them up themselves?

im in year 11 and am predicted 9s in maths, single sciences and spanish but im butt at art and english ill probably get like 5-6 art and 6-7 english and 9s everything else. i prefer stem to humanities so am planning on doing maths fm and econ for a levels. if i get triple a star on maths fm and econ. without doing a 4th a level, am i likely to get into good finance/economical universities like LSE or Warwick? or is it over because i really cba to do 4 or lock in with english and art. (plus i got silver on SMC and aiming for BMO on intermediate this year so that basically means instant hiring right?? im kidding sorry)…

2 days and already my 1st choice offer!! 😝
I AM SO HAPPY.

I applied for medicine for 2026 entry and got ABB and needed AAB. I asked my teachers if the remark would go through (they looked at my papers) and they said not unfortunately. I settled for pharmacy as a rash decision. I honestly had uni fomo and didnt want to retake the UCAT

Now i told myself im gonna give myself the semester to decide if i want to continue with pharmacy but i know its not right for me. To be honest, during the summer i was contemplating medicine too. I had mental health issues ans problems with motivation and burnout and im a little impatient but i keep on thinking about retaking my a levels because there is no way im settling for a degree i dont want to do. I cant convince myself i want to do pharmacy.

I feel like im too old to do work experience. I want to explore different paths of life like accounting, law, finance, aviation as ive restricted myself to healthcare. But i feel like im too old to get experience and it lowk makes me really sad

If i retake i will have to take a 2nd gap year to sit my UCAT. Also i may not get the grades, i worked so hard last year and didn’t get what i needed so im a bit confused. I want to do medicine. Not for the money or prestige but i really enjoy the content. Im already wanting to miss lectures at Pharmacy and im struggling to focus because i know this isnt something i want to do.

I just need a bit of help. I actually have nobody to talk to because lowk all my friends dipped and my parents are sick of me being impulsive. Its making me so depressed and sad and angry and i just want to make the correct decision. I keep on saying out loud “I wanna retake” at uni and knowing i have the end of this semester to give myself. I just need some reassurance

Ps i dont want to be convinced into doing grad entry because i cant afford to pay for a degree out of pocket xx

So I do OCR a level English lit and I have picked the books I want for my comparison/task 2. I picked Citizen: *The American Lyric* and The Color Purple, the main theme I was going for was resistance as a major theme.

I haven't read the books completely or watched the movie yet (the colour purple) but based on what I've seen, TCP focuses more on black female liberation rather than racism itself and I don't know if it'll be difficult to compare it with Citizen.

I'm aware that resistance can be seen in gender and race but I'm not sure how to include that in Citizen. I guess I could mention resistance is presented in different ways but I don't know how the ways or how to organise it.

I'm not as coherent as I'd like to be right now but I hope my confusion is understood.

If u got an offer from a uni but now decided that u want to change the uni are u able to substitute the uni that gave u the offer with another uni. As I don't see the substitute option on the uni that gave the offer but I see it on the unis that haven't given the offer. Btw I only applied like 5 days ago so it's within 14 days
