I'm so glad you made the wise decision of limiting your revision of the morning before your afternoon exam. During one of my Uni exams last exam season, I spent 6 hours revising until around half an hour before the exam - all because I was too tempted to squeeze every possible second of revision that I could. Problem was, this just overwhelmed me. Furthermore, even on the topics I heavily revised that day, when they came up, I found the information had all merged together and my formulae became unrecognisable. This lead to a score in the low 50s and was the only one not just below or significantly higher than a first. I was gutted, and learned a valuable lesson in restraint.
Jake well done I have recommended your blogs to all prospective undergrads - you come across as a very thoughtful, intelligent and purposeful fellow - I wish you every success for your future: do let us know 1/ result of exams / 2/ progress in first job . You seem to be the sort of chap who'd make a very good academic tutor in the field, as well as a potential researcher! Stephen Fry was also at Queens - you are a good "foil" Philip (Trinity 1960) retired senior lecturer: now STEM Ambassador and private tutor (Physics & Maths)
I've fallen behind my my JW vlog viewing. Catching up now. These last few vlogs make me nervous, even though I know how things tuned out. The absence of music really reminds one how much it adds to the vlog, particularly the time lapses. When I start blogging again a portion of my posts will be vlog music recommendations for Jake. Thanks to Apple Music I've discover (and re-discovered) some really interesting music.
Hm this is weird.. I don't even want to go to Cambridge yet I really enjoy watching your videos. You're pretty awesome haha but I do want to go to university hopefully to study Computing at UWE. wow. i find your vlogs addictive.. i should be doing work! Keep up the good work!
So looking back would you rather have done computer science by your self for 3-4 years and created something popular and made money or still done the degree?
Finally, we are getting closer ( the viewers ) for his results. I started to fear the exam results video will be posted the day I have my exam results next year.
Has Jake released his results over social media or something? I can't deal with this stress not knowing what he got for his results. Forget the anxiousness Jake was feeling in the video, this is something completely different.
2:1 is mixed bag as many universities have different standards work loads and difficulties of the course. At some elite universities like Cambridge getting a 2:1 is very difficult and a real achievement. At some weaker universities with weaker courses I wont mention names getting a 2:1 is easy and not impressive at all. Jake did very well to get a 2:1 from Cambridge. the highest you can get is usually a first however getting that from Cambridge would be very difficulty indeed. There is actually a grade higher then a first, which is a starred first but this is the stuff of legend and whilst it has happened before its almost unheard of. I do not think Cambridge ever give out starred firsts though.
2 videos in 2 days yesss

I'm sending my application tomorrow. I'm actually looking forward to this kind of stress...
I'm applying for law at Caius. Check out my channel and subscribe ;) I'm gonna be making videos throughout the process.
+Jey Suresh Good luck! You chose the best college :D
Thanks to everybody wishing me luck. I hope to be the next Jake Wright and make Cambridge vlogs haha.
+Jey Suresh good luck !!!!
+Jey Suresh word, applying for philosophy at Trinity, anyone who would exchange statements for the sake of inn sight?
What equipment did you use to record this video, Jake? Especially the camera, it's great!
"This is the last time I'm doing this, EVER"
Only a lifetime of computer science left
Hm this is weird.. I don't even want to go to Cambridge yet I really enjoy watching your videos.
You're pretty awesome haha
but I do want to go to university hopefully to study Computing at UWE.
wow. i find your vlogs addictive.. i should be doing work!
Keep up the good work!
hope you did well
How's work going? I've been working for a few months and already miss being in school.
This is exactly how my Uni papers are going on. Don't know which was worse. I was so depressed until I saw this video..
next 2 days is my last final exam in my uni and then i move to Netherlands can't wait
which is the video with the tv licence thing?
I've just started my undergraduate degree, can't wait until I'm finished with exams.
Jake, what happened to localgag?
This is why I hate the education system... How the hell do they expect you to learn all this!!!
the new video is not available again😔
So looking back would you rather have done computer science by your self for 3-4 years and created something popular and made money or still done the degree?
Finally, we are getting closer ( the viewers ) for his results. I started to fear the exam results video will be posted the day I have my exam results next year.
okay. I finally have chemistry exam tmr. I'd try my best.
I hope it went well :)
+Sophie K hello. My chemistry exam is pass😊 but it's not great that I expected😢
