Does Oxford and Cambridge distinguish grade 8 and 9 at GCSE?
This is my question too. Everybody keeps talking about “A*s” and such as if the new grading system doesn’t exist. Do they view 9s and 8s as equal or something? Please let me know if you find an answer!
For the first one I said 7^6 = 49^3 which is close(ish) to 50^3. Which is way easier to calculate. Edit. Damn I actually got it.
Should I apply to Cambridge NatSci with a 6(B) in English Language? I got 9999999886 overall but I'm scared my english grade will affect my application.
I know English language is a core subject so I understand your concern but it shouldn’t weaken your application too much if you’re hoping to take STEM subjects at uni so I wouldn’t worry :)
What do I do if my School doesn’t predict the grades
I’m very late to this video and have never seriously considered oxbridge but I’m wondering if it’s worth applying for after getting my GCSEs today? I hope to study law at uni and I’m thinking of taking history, literature, philosophy and maybe Spanish for a levels I’m unsure if my GCSE grades will keep me out of Oxford tho? I got 5 9s in History, Spanish, Literature, Language, French 2 8s in geography and biology (2 marks away from 9 ;( ) 2 7s in physics and chemistry And 1 6 in maths😬 STEM is definitely not my strong point as you can tell but I’m wondering if this will make it hard to go to Oxford for more humanity related subjects? It would be great if somebody could reply!😊
Hello! I have taken Further maths at AS level, and am considering only continuing with bio, chem and maths for A level. Do you think having further maths helped your application to Cambridge and is it worth continuing it? Thank you! I like further maths but I find it requires a lot of work and wonder if the time might be better spent on doing deeper and wider reading of biology. Would love to know your thoughts :-)
For natsci? Yes it’s worth continuing
@@IlyasCambridgeAdvice Okay, Thank you. yes for bio natsci
I took 8 igcses and got 6 A stars, 1B in French and 1 C in English language. Will the C in English language significantly reduce my chances of getting into Oxford university for maths. I am predicted 3 A stars and 1A in A levels.
what is Cambridge 's CV?
Anyone got an idea what TMUA score economic applicants should be aiming at?
Hi could you please share the document that contains all of the interview questions that Shirley was referring to?
2:50 I was wondering if studying at Cambridge because it is one of the best universities for what I want to study but I don’t know if that’s a good enough reason to apply?😅
Awesome guys!!! I salute u guys!!!
that's nice, except unis dont give a damn abt ur gcses, theyl look at your a levels and use the gcses as a mild sanity check, they don't really give a rats ass
Some unis say they do care. Some more than others, some not at all
@@Natalia-jl4kj very few, but even if they do it's not a major part of the admission process, I got 3 A*'s 5 A's and 1B, I could get into oxford while someone with al A*'s might not, simply because they don't matter too much
5:01 pay respect to the big cat
Ok so I have a question on your part of contextual information, if I go to a prestigious school and get average grades what are my chances?
Lowered chances
@@IlyasCambridgeAdvice how much lower?
Respected sir I have question ❓
Please how do I get get a fully funded scholarship to study electrical engineering at Trinity college?
What college??

Hi brother, thank you so much. But does that apply to USA uni too?
I look at the Cambrige and I think that universities tear young people away from reality, and that it is impossible to return to reality after university illusions. As a result, few people in the world are capable of solving the problems that have accumulated before humanity. The best teacher is life itself. Philosophers, historians, lawyers and journalists must work in seven different businesses, communicate with a wide range of people and learn a living and practical psychology. Academic psychology is only suitable for intellectual narcissists to entertain their peers over cups of coffee. A practicing intellectual person does not need forty subjects studied in universities, but much less. So you need to come to the university once a year for a week or two not only to take a small number of exams (one exam per year), but above all to communicate with intelligent people who help to systematize the experience gained during discussions. . It is necessary to implement the principle of Socrates: it is not necessary to put ready-made theories in a person's brain, but to let theories be born in his brain. So we do not need conferences, but debates on questions from real life. And to have food for discussion, you have to immerse yourself in real life, and not be in an artificial university environm.
😂 Saints > torah prophets. Easy math. Holy trinity ❤
It’s completely unfair as to how students that obtain top grades from statistically low-achieving schools are weighted more significantly than top-achieving students from schools with a superior statistical performance. This is because majority of the time the difference is not in the quality of education being provided by the schools but the disparity between the quantity/quality of work being put in outside of lessons by the students. Especially for GCSE subjects where the online resources are more than adequate to provide students with a thorough understanding of the topics. In addition, majority of the higher-achieving students from the lower-ranked schools are either seeking external support via tuition or investing more time into their studies than their counterparts. By no means does it demonstrate a greater aptitude than those who go to higher ranked schools. What distinguishes the A/A* students from the C/D category is what they’re doing in their spare time.
she's gorgeousss omggg. beauty and brains wow I admire her
How important are o levels when applying
Can you guide me for study in Cambridge university
Hello, would doing 9 subjects for GCSE decrease chances of getting in to Oxford Economics and management, i'm also worried that they may be deemed as too easy (Math, Further math, Business, Chemistry, Computer Science, Art, Spanish, HPQ (Higher project qualification)).
Hello I am a zoology student as well and i dont know how I got here 😂but i think I wanna do my Phd in the UK.
I thought freshmen couldn’t walk on the paths
It's slightly irresponsible to post this with no introductions or caveats. Only experienced mountaineers should attempt Mount Blanc and even then a guide is strongly recommended. The mountain is getting more dangerous each year with climate change increasing the chances of avalanches and crevasses. It's about basic respect for the mountain, local economy and yourself. Don't be a cheapstake when it comes to your safety and that of others.
Is math considered a relevant subject at gcse level by oxford for medicine?
Bet you he isn't as good as thinks he is.
I just hired crampons and piolet in Chamonix for about 200 Francs/20 euro and walked up to the top. Slept for 5 hours in a snow hole on the edge of the grand plateau 3700m below the top emergency refuge at about 4,200 m between the 2 peaks. It’s just a walk, but you need to know what you’re doing to minimise risk, wait for good weather etc. It’s dangerous if you get lost in fog, caught in avalanche/rock fall etc. Death rate for this climb is about 1/200…not insignificant.
But not evryone at Trinity College is mentally unstable.
Haaahaa he’s so bad
By anyone's standards Trinity is epic ... despite your friend's apathy
If only dutch was still a GCSE option, as I am fluent in dutch:( Lived in in Belgium for a couple of years lol

Hii, for the first question could we have not used differential approximation to do it? we can say that for some exponential function a^x = f(x) x=2 and delta(x)=4 and then applied the approximation formula?
Hahahahaha
