[tired warren]

Hey guys 👋

[plain agate]

You were the prime IG kid

[slate cedar]

IG was the worst 4 year period of ma life, but ig it made me who i am now

[plain agate]

YOU DID IG FOR FOUR YEARS???

Three is a stretch but four

[slate cedar]

Hmm how do I describe it

A series of very unfortunate events happened so I had to take an extra year

[plain agate]

Ahh okay fair enough

I thought it started from grade 7

That would be ridiculous

[slate cedar]

Nah, half way into grade 10 we left Saudi and then prepped IG at home

Gave 5 IG’s in 2019 and 2 in 2020

[nova orchid]

says the one who was in the IG math channel

[slate cedar]

It was one time thing

[solar bramble]

Why the fuck do u have gen physics calc in maths

[weak sable]

@vagrant matrix @vocal spire same uni?

[vocal spire]

different

[vocal spire]

dont ask me

its a requirement

[vagrant matrix]

nope.

but same enrollment system

[weak sable]

ah

[vagrant matrix]

never knew that my uni's got a large f1 community

[crystal garden]

Guys anyone have filled a SRAR before?

i dont know what to put for CIE A Level Mathematics as in US equivalent topic

[quiet flume]

HI. I need some advice on how to study properly with flashcards and topical papers please

[dreamy delta]

Hey guys

Is there a place to learn uni phy 1 for free

I just want simple notes

[prime raven]

Phy 1 is equal to A level physics at least in my uni

[primal flower]

anyone studying medicine?

[main magnet]

i am

[primal flower]

where studying

[main magnet]

Oxford

feel free to DM if you need help with anything

[dusk walrus]

not sure if this is the right channel to ask but can someone please guide as to which option is equivalent to completing ALevel Math and Further Math

[vocal spire]

im not sure what is the same level as further math, does the faq help?

[dusk walrus]

this is what the FAQ says

[kind iron]

Cornell xD

if im not mistaken further math goes beyond AP calculus BC, but i may be wrong

[dusk walrus]

Shotgunning universities atm

[dusk walrus]

Hmm

[kind iron]

which

[dusk walrus]

20+
A couple ivies
A couple in the middle east
Hong Kong
China
Europe
And a bunch in the US

[kind iron]

goddamn

goodluck man

which ivies

cornell princeton

Penn

[dusk walrus]

Only Cornell and Dartmouth

Don't have time for the rest of em, especially Princeton and Yale since they have longggg apps

Plus since I'm an intl seeking full aid it eliminates a few ivies since they don't really give aid as much

[kind iron]

RIP💀

being international

is already hard enough

requesting aid on top of it

💀💀💀

what are your extracurriculars looking like

[vestal lotus]

Hey as a private candidate i want to know if you need extracurriculars for o level's result

[vocal spire]

i dont think so, and why do u have the undergrad role if youre expecting for o level result?

[plain agate]

If you mean to get o level results then absolutely not?! IGCSE is an exam and you get exam results

Your school may be annoying you to do extracurriculars but that has nothing to do with your exam results

[solar void]

your result gets automatically changed to a U if you don’t have extracurriculars and they burn your result

[balmy bear]

Hii random question but is there like a ug-humanities channel or some sort here, I'm stuck with finding academic sources for an essay and idk where to turn to :(

[vocal spire]

even if there is, im not sure if there are active people there

[heavy fjord]

Hi

Hi

[woven heart]

Hi

[vestal hollow]

hiii sorry to bother but I'm here to look for study buddies since I literally cannot function without ppl like checking up on my progress (for some reason) so i'm looking for ppl who are willing to like get on call and study together so we can help keep track of each other's progress!

[vestal lotus]

hey i just saw this, if you're still down we can do this

[vestal hollow]

mmkay!

sure!

also sorry for the late reply

[vestal lotus]

what are you studying in uni?

[vital stream]

Hi anybody have notes for english techniques my ib myp exams coming soon

[dense shadow]

Hey does anyone know about Pakistan culture

[vestal lotus]

hey guys if anyone here is good at chemistry,,, would you please be able to go over an correct my work?

(i did a practice test)

[dark laurel]

My semester's results 💀💀💀

Idc cuz I passed and thought of failing even tho my gpa is fucked now 🙃🙃

[noble sphinx]

Welppp

I'm wayyy past the fucked GPA (WAM here in Aus) stage

[vestal lotus]

for those who mightve done R in uni

where do you learn it from

caus I never realised I liked data science until I got into med school and did biostats

and now wanna learn

[noble sphinx]

All the R I know is from subjects I did at uni

[tame gorge]

Im undergrad now

Wow it’s dead here

[still light]

UG UG UG UG

congrats on completing alevels ❤️

[shrewd blade]

SAME

[shrewd blade]

🎉

[jovial fable]

Yoo

Anyone up

MYP 5??

[vocal spire]

we dont have undergrad znotes :b

[vestal lotus]

What do yall use in terms of strategies to concentrate on studying and not just getting distracted and procrastinating?

[vocal spire]

constantly being aware that you will fail if you dont study

at least thats how i do it

[plain agate]

and then panicking so much you cant study-? oops just me

[vocal spire]

🗿

[noble sphinx]

Fr me too

[vestal lotus]

oh mygosh

this is a thing

this channel is abt to be revived by the mfs who been here since ig💀

[vestal lotus]

THIS IS SO TRUE

[shrewd blade]

which unis y'all in?

[north pawn]

I am not in a uni,
I am in Cbit in india

What about u

[vestal lotus]

undecided

[slim idol]

We big bois now

When I was like in middle school or something I used to think dayum people going to uni and finishing Gr. 12 are literally like grown adults

But I still feel like a kid and not much different at all ._.

Anyways, my fellow senior undergraduates, I was hoping anyone could give me any advice when starting uni / things I need to know before uni starts

[vocal spire]

starting with the most obvious one, uni system is different from schools, you are not set with subjects to take in the semester so instead you choose the courses to take in your semester

each course is worth a specific number of credits/units and you only have a min and max number of credits you can take in the semester

so you best to plan on what you wanna take in each semester so that you have a proper study plan

although there are still lectures in uni, the lectures are not like your typical class back in school, it's not about the number of students there are but also the teaching style of the lecturer is unlike your teacher back in highschool.

lectures in uni is almost as if throwing out information and it is your responsibility to capture those information correctly, unlike school that make sures you understand each stuff your teacher explains

it is quite likely that the professor giving the lecture is very bad at teaching, that is unfortunately common for unis and theres nothing much you can do about it.

one of the important one to me is to know what you have to study in uni, as in what courses to take and to fulfill the requirements of your major. best to plan it well 👍

[vestal lotus]

real

[plain agate]

Oh also make friends with people not in your course, it's so valuable to have people who aren't dying with the same shit

And in different years

Diversity +++

[vestal lotus]

I've always found it easy to befriend but for some reason I have a feeling in uni it's gonna get harder

[shrewd blade]

Me too

[shrewd blade]

So basically we have to get used to studying by ourselves

[still light]

aint it lowkey better to like befriend people from same course so that at least you can learn from each other?

if like ure facing difficulties in a certain subject or what

[vestal lotus]

pretty sure it was meant as a good thing to do WHILE also having friends from the same course and not as in 'better'

it allows you to have a good network

[still light]

ah i see, that makes sense

[vocal spire]

Yep

[shrewd blade]

Do you still use textbooks for university?

[vocal spire]

Depends…

Sometimes yes sometimes no

In my case, mostly not

It depends on the course itself + the instructor

[shrewd blade]

So how do you study and prepare for semester exams then when they don’t have books?

Do they share lecture slides with you guys as well?

[vocal spire]

In my case lecture slides are always shared, so we can review them anytime

Even lecture recordings are uploaded

Lets use my math course as an example

We dont use any textbook

But

We have lecture notes that we can study from

So it’s made by the university itself

[shrewd blade]

Ahh and what about practice materials? Such as past papers or other questions

[vocal spire]

But that doesnt mean u have to only study from the lecture notes, sometimes u have to find ur own books to study from

[shrewd blade]

Ahh I see

[vocal spire]

Yeah we have past papers, they provide us with it

[vestal lotus]

moment of realisation that past papers wont exist in the Cambridge format

[shrewd blade]

That’s great

[vocal spire]

Lol exactly

[shrewd blade]

I hope my university provides that too

[vocal spire]

Though it wont be as useful as the Cambridge past papers

At least in my case it’s like that

[shrewd blade]

Why?

[vocal spire]

Cuz the course instructor changes each year, & different instructor gives different exam style

May change*

Not only that, even if it’s the same instructor

They will make it very different from past papers

At least thats in my case

U have to learn on ur own for your own uni

But I’m just saying this because the possibility exists

It’s not cambridge anymore that u have a fixed syllabus with a fixed exam format

Anything can happen now in uni, exam formats can vary a lot

Syllabus can vary too, so past paper content maybe different from the one u are currently learning

Especially for my math, my prof likes to give very different kinda of exam questions compared our homeworks & exercises

So I have to practice & do questions from different sources (which i have to find on my own)

So yeah thats it regarding exams

I hope that helps

[shrewd blade]

So which sources do you use to practice questions? And how do you get to know the exam format each year?

[vocal spire]

Sources: some math books, depending on ur course u may or may not have to find other sources

To know the exam format, u have to know the professor

& also how the grading is done

If u can get a past paper of that professor, that would show u how the exam format is like

[vestal lotus]

Guys any tips for environmental management paper?

[vestal lotus]

?

select evm role and go to evm channel

[vocal spire]

do we have evm role?

[slim idol]

Thanks dude!

[wraith spire]

Gave +1 rep to The_Pierrot#5106

[shrewd blade]

Which book do you use for calculus?

First year

[vocal spire]

My calculus? Or the typical calculus

[shrewd blade]

Yea about that, I will bring that up with our next term meeting with Zubair, which will take place tomorrow

I will raise the issue then

[vocal spire]

👍👍

[shrewd blade]

Typical engineering ones

[vocal spire]

Just use james stewart’s calculus

[shrewd blade]

Something like this

[shrewd blade]

Ahh I see

[vocal spire]

Thats the most standard calculus book unis use

[shrewd blade]

Do you have online pdf of that?

[vocal spire]

I can send if u want

But I’ll do it later cuz i dont have my laptop rn 😂

[noble sphinx]

You'll get A LOT of weekly questions created by the unit coordinator

And you'll have classes each week (apart from the main lecture) to go through these questions

And 90% of the time you're not gonna complete the questions within that class

So you'll have all those questions to use for exam prep

[plain agate]

You do the questions in the class?

Post covid we've been expected to do them before the class and discuss them there

[shrewd blade]

Ahhh no worries take your time

[shrewd blade]

Oh damm that’s great, do they marking schemes also?

Like answers to check ourselves basically

[noble sphinx]

Yeah they release the solutions the weekend after the class

[noble sphinx]

Yepp

[noble sphinx]

If I had to do it before class, I would do it 0/10 times

[plain agate]

well thats what happened to me

apart from in first year when they were marked

[noble sphinx]

@shrewd blade an explanation I sent before in a diff channel

[shrewd blade]

That’s great then

[noble sphinx]

Basically say a subject has 1000 students, all these students attend lectures for the unit, and the lecture is taught by the main lecturer of the subject (usually a PhD level). So they're really smart but not necessarily good teachers. Then the 1000 kids are split up into say 50 classes (tuts or labs depending on the subject) of 20 students each, and all of these classes are conducted by tutors who won't have the same qualification level as the main lecturer (might just be higher year Bachelor degree students or Masters students), and in these classes we go through questions to help our understanding of the week's content.

[shrewd blade]

Ahhh I see, i will need to find out though if my uni does this too

[vocal spire]

check dms

i send the book

[shrewd blade]

Later on I’m outside rn

[vocal spire]

🙏

[plain agate]

dang we still get phd students at the very least for tutorials, but anywhere between phd students, postdocs and researchers

[wet dawn]

We have around 80 student lectures in physics and everyone is then split to 5 people groups who spend 1 hour every week with a teacher (PhD or masters degree students) going over exercises

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324873751_Primetime_learning_collaborative_and_technology-enhanced_studying_with_genuine_teacher_presence

This is the method they use and study here

[vestal lotus]

oh shit theres ug roles?

I just meant A2 roles

plus they were saying paper

so I'm sure they were referring to the subject

and they might have the ug role by mistake lol

[vestal lotus]

this is very nice

[vocal spire]

i didnt even know there is evm in A2 💀

[vestal lotus]

I think evm is only AS and ig

theres no A2

[vocal spire]

Either way

I never knew evm existed in A levels itself

[vestal lotus]

its sooo easy I hear

ppl take it just for the grade

lol

[noble sphinx]

For my Comp unit this sem, my tutor is literally a friend of mine lmao

She's the same age and started her degree at the same time as me

[plain agate]

Bruhh

[wind scarab]

which comp unit 😂

[noble sphinx]

Data Structures and Algorithms

I submitted the assignment 11 minutes before due time

[slate cedar]

Im so fucking excited to do that course

[noble sphinx]

if the algos come intuitively to you then its a lot of fun

its just very unintuitive for me

but its compsci applications are crazy

because they teach us O-notation stuff

[plain agate]

One of my friends showed me a bit of calculating computational complexity and it's kinda cool

At least the way he did it was cool

To me who knows nothing bout computers

[noble sphinx]

Yeah it's pretty interesting

It helps you learn the effect of bad code

And just time and space complexity in general

And they make you think about everything in the worst case

[fervent spruce]

what are the chances i will be enrolled in a course where im on 4th waitlist? 😩

[vestal lotus]

101%

[plain agate]

pretty fucking high

there will be people who have better offers or dont satisfy the conditions

[fervent spruce]

nooo

im talking about course selection

for uni

im already admitted in uni

[plain agate]

you still need a grade to get the course right?

[fervent spruce]

no prerequisites

[plain agate]

no entrance exam or anything?

[fervent spruce]

nah

[plain agate]

but even then

there will be a bunch of people who dont end up going for whatever reason

[fervent spruce]

i have to choose courses for my fall term

one of the 5 courses, i got waitlisted

[plain agate]

people change their mind all the time

[fervent spruce]

cuz no seat available

[plain agate]

also a lot of the time they have extra places and will bump up people at the very end

[fervent spruce]

i see

[fervent spruce]

thank you!

[wraith spire]

Gave +1 rep to Aishwarya#7376

[plain agate]

i was on waitlist for a course and went to student support to ask and turns out there was an admin issue preventing people from joining and she just added me to it lol

[fervent spruce]

oh damn

its weird cuz that course is online

[plain agate]

they still have to mark stuff right?

[fervent spruce]

why would i be waitlisted at online class

[fervent spruce]

like exams?

[plain agate]

yeah

or any kind of coursework

[fervent spruce]

im not so sure , it doesnt say

[plain agate]

you do get a mark at the end of it right?

they have to assess you somehow if its for uni

[fervent spruce]

course credits yes

[fervent spruce]

right makes sense

[plain agate]

is it gonna be your first sem at uni?

[fervent spruce]

yep

[plain agate]

makes sense 😂

[fervent spruce]

[slim idol]

wat

so quickly?

you applying for fall 23/24 right?

[fervent spruce]

fall 2023

i am already admitted

yea the course registration for fall 23, spring 24 is already done 💀

ur head

[slim idol]

Wow 💀

[vocal spire]

If i may know, which uni?

[fervent spruce]

omg bro im so excited to do ds at uni

but i just registered for my classes and its mostly programming and math for the first sem

and i have to learn java but i only know python so far 😭

does anyone know any good online java fundamentals courses?

i would appreciate if u could share any sites or links and stuff. thank you :)

[honest gyro]

how did you have the motivation to watch his python vid bro

its so long

ok i'll check him out. thanks

[wraith spire]

Gave +1 rep to greenfalcon#1104

[bold notch]

oh shit 😭

its ok i'll still check it out

[kind iron]

Since when do people use Java in ds lol

I thought was mostly like

Python

R

SQL

[bold notch]

i mean we kinda need to learn all of them

python, r and sql as well

but for oop intro we do java

idk why tho. i can survive with just python 😭😂

[kind iron]

Interesting

I never heard much of Java in data science

[coarse mirage]

I am undergrad

[slim idol]

ayyy welcome to the barrio man

Congratulations on making it this far!

[noble sphinx]

Yeah there isn't

But sometimes they tell you to do CS electives to learn OOP

And Java is a good starting point

Coz Python isn't great if you really wanna understand the core of OOP

[noble sphinx]

yeah coz a lot of people do DS as a pathway to AI, and if you wanna be working on AI, you probably should know OOP and all the other important CS stuff

[kind iron]

Ah yeah that makes sense

[north pawn]

Not really, I was a bit fascinated by how viruses work. But COVID was u know COVID

I didn't get infected but the lockdown and all

It changed people, like threw them on a new path. That they wouldn't have

Gave a character arc ig

@dusty bronze i cant find any either, applied to like 100 things 0 replies

istg uae jobs r all based on connections

[kind iron]

It’s great that you’re applying from now but don’t worry too much about it, many people don’t get internships even on their first summer after freshman year

Besides, companies most of the time take undergraduate students to intern there, you still are yet to start university

And it isn’t abnormal for one (even undergraduate students or even graduates) to apply to get rejected from shitloads of places

[kind iron]

Connections help with getting you offers basically everywhere

What I would say, applying this time around just think of it as a learning opportunity and nothing else, don’t expect anything really and don’t worry too much about it just yet

[primal flower]

why do you want internships when u barely finished school

[noble sphinx]

^

Internships are usually for the time when you finish the 2nd last year of your degree

[lethal plume]

what if my course only take 3 years to finish

should i go fo internship in the first year and save the remaining 2 for finals

[noble sphinx]

My course is also 3 years

So what usually happens

Is when you're done with your first semester of 2nd year

You start applying for internships for your first summer

And then when you're done with your first summer for 3rd year

You start trying to line up graduate jobs

Keep in mind, it's ok if you don't get these (but try your hardest)

A metric ton of students graduate with fuck all experience

[lethal plume]

Thanks @kind iron

Thanks @noble sphinx

Ayo the bots dead lol

[noble sphinx]

yes ofc

[night yew]

why i cant use /ask command in and ug channels

[still light]

[arctic wyvern]

idk if i should be here anymore lol

[noble sphinx]

We haven't set helper roles for the new channels

[arctic wyvern]

I am a Masters student

[noble sphinx]

Dang

[arctic wyvern]

Yea got a full-ride scholarship for Masters right after Undergrad

for Business

[noble sphinx]

Congratulations

[arctic wyvern]

Would love to give back if possible

is their a Postgrad role?

or a way I can give back to UG Business?

[plain agate]

You can donate to ZNotes if you really wanted to

And or Collab do something with social media?

[noble sphinx]

Nope haha, I don't think we have plans for postgrad roles rn

[arctic wyvern]

Ah fair enough

[plain agate]

I'm pretty sure pugs made one to give to himself

[arctic wyvern]

tbh Its been years since ive been here

[plain agate]

Like two years ago

[arctic wyvern]

things have moved real fast lol

[plain agate]

I think I vaguely remember you lol

[arctic wyvern]

yea lmao I have been here for ages

[night yew]

oh when are u going to?

[arctic wyvern]

since 2018 I think

or 2017

[plain agate]

Yeah sounds about the same as when I joined

I may have joined 2019 actually

[arctic wyvern]

I was working on the Marine Science content

then I just dipped lol

[plain agate]

THAT WAS YOU

[arctic wyvern]

and then came back for a bit and just have been busy with life and and academia

[plain agate]

Ofc I remember you

[arctic wyvern]

yea lol

[plain agate]

Life comes full circle

[plain agate]

Eh also fair enough

[arctic wyvern]

yea honestly most of the people who i knew here are probably long into their UG

[plain agate]

I've just finished UG

[arctic wyvern]

I finished UG last year and went straight into Masters

[plain agate]

Congratulations!

Two year masters?

[arctic wyvern]

nah year and a half

luckily the scholarship covers it all

[plain agate]

Ah nice

[arctic wyvern]

and gives me a nice lil stipend

[plain agate]

Oh that's really nice

[arctic wyvern]

yea thats my scholarship profile

I now teach business stage 2 papers aswell as just do a bit of research

[plain agate]

You haven't changed one bit since you were 16 have you

[arctic wyvern]

lmao

I have quite a bit

I was alot leaner

Now im built like a rubgy player

all the protein, pushups and general life

[plain agate]

...I don't mean physically

[arctic wyvern]

Idk how i was at 16

it was years ago lmao, but if its in reference to business then yea I just have doubled down

I have gotten more time to dabble in the startup space

which was nice

[paper rapids]

Nice. What subject?

[arctic wyvern]

Business, primarily in global management and innovation (strategy)

[plain agate]

Never had to stalk you, you'd just doxx yourself within minutes of talking to you about something unrelated

[arctic wyvern]

lmao

I am pretty open to doxxing myself

got nothing to hid

[paper rapids]

Sounds interesting.

[arctic wyvern]

stops stuff being used against me later on

[arctic wyvern]

Tbh its pretty fun, but its a time crunch as I start work next year as I wrap it up

[paper rapids]

Which country?

[arctic wyvern]

New Zealand

[paper rapids]

Nice

Did you do the Scholarship Calculus Pre-U exam? They have some nice questions.

[plain agate]

Most donations in the UK do👀

[plain agate]

Do it before the IRS finds out

[slim idol]

insane

Congrats buddy 💪

[arctic wyvern]

For business no scholarship exam

They assess it on your academic merit

And your extracurricular

[eager palm]

Know any for science 👀

[arctic wyvern]

depends on your country

In my country, no exam needed for scholarships as its all based on merit and previous academic performance

[eager palm]

What country is this?

[arctic wyvern]

New Zealand

[lethal plume]

What extracurricular did you do

[arctic wyvern]

A bunch, was primarily execs in uni clubs and also did startup things aswell as internships

so pretty typical stugg

can anyone make me understand why the ans is 35 percent

There are no helper roles set for this channel! | Please ask a moderator to set one!

[shrewd blade]

perhaps ask in bacelor of businesss #b-business channel?

[lethal plume]

https://www.toppr.com/ask/question/on-selling-an-article-at-a-discount-of-20-the-profit-is-20-find-the/

[lyric marten]

bruh

the profit percentage is it based on the cost price?

or the selling price?

[lyric marten]

class 8 maths

[lyric marten]

thank you

[wraith spire]

Gave +1 rep to tombbla#0

[shrewd blade]

ohh 💀

[coarse mirage]

Selling price = S
Cost price= C
For 80%S= 120C
1%S= 120/80 C=3/2C
So for 90%S = 3/2C * 90= 135C

So profit is 135-100=35%

[kind iron]

You’ll be given more than enough problems in class to do

And assignments

[paper rapids]

😊

[vocal spire]

mine does

[dark laurel]

I found mine somewhere in a source

People are illegally sharing old exam papers online

[fossil sleet]

egypt?

[dark laurel]

But they are useless anyway, cuz old specs idk

[dark laurel]

Wut Egypt

[paper rapids]

old exam papers should be made public

[fossil sleet]

like egyptain universities site?

[dark laurel]

Dw, no

[fossil sleet]

sad.

[dark laurel]

Oh no

[fossil sleet]

[dark laurel]

I think that's wut profs are doing but giving them as a practice paper

[paper rapids]

are your national high school public exams also made public?

[vagrant valve]

really

r there no past papers

[eager palm]

Nope

Usually they do give assignments and stuff

[vagrant valve]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-crying-inverted-crying-in-a-corner-gif-20543156

[lime remnant]

uni doesn't have past papers yeah

you study from assignments and midterms and notes

and ✨books ✨

[kind iron]

the problems you're given in class

will be more than enough lol

imo at least

[lime remnant]

Yeah

They're very similar to the final from my experience

[plain agate]

Depends on the course really for us

If the lecturer is an asshat or not

[kind iron]

nah i had dickhead professors lol

[lime remnant]

Remember usually the final is set by the exact same prof who set the midterms and assignments

[plain agate]

But physics gives us past papers since the 90s, no other department does

[lime remnant]

crazy

[plain agate]

No answers just papers

[lime remnant]

I got past papers by talking to 3rd years

they did their exams in COVID

[plain agate]

We do that for maths

[lime remnant]

So they had them downloaded on their computers

since online

[bold notch]

there is lol

atleast my uni does it

we get them for practice before exams

[regal hemlock]

Do they have mark schemes tho

[plain agate]

Nop

[dark laurel]

Ye same here but depending on the mood of our professor lol

[toxic radish]

oh my god I come back to znotes after like, ages, to see a university student page?

[kind iron]

actually it's a channel

also weren't you the one who needed physics help for your exam

how'd that go

i remember that resistance question lol

[paper rapids]

What resistance question?

[kind iron]

I honestly can’t remember what was it exactly

I just remember that it was a resistance question

[paper rapids]

It’s fine. You can post another interesting resistance question instead 😄

[kind iron]

Thankfully I no longer have to do Physics😊

I do some math however

I will post any interesting ones I find😊

In fact lime sent me 4 interesting questions

I figured one out

Idk the other 3, imma try again in the morning

These 4

B is quite easy, A doesn’t seem too bad but I need to think about it a bit

C and D I have no clue💀

[paper rapids]

Nice. Maths major?

[kind iron]

Nope

Computer science

[paper rapids]

Nice

[paper rapids]

C is more intimidating that’s it looks 😄

||C is just 0 😄||

[kind iron]

Dunno man it’s almost 4am💀

D seems most interesting though

B i think you just take the base case and then even and odd cases and that will work

Cases for n

[paper rapids]

Or use mod 3

Yes split into odd and even

D is just a ||GP sum||

[kind iron]

Oh bruh

Ig that’s why math isn’t a strength of mine

[dusk walrus]

Wait is this by any chance IYMC qualification round for this year?

[kind iron]

Idk tbh lol

[obsidian harbor]

Yeah can anyone send a working for this

[obsidian harbor]

Bro knows💀

[kind iron]

For B

Base case is 3

(N=1)

Which is divisible by 3 obvs

Then suppose 2^n-(-1)^n=3k

Therefore 2^n=3k+(-1)^n
So
2^n+1 - (-1)^n+1 = 2(3k+(-1)^n)-(-1)^n+1

Simplifying should give something divisible by 3, hence proved

Im going back home now so no paper

[dusk walrus]

I mean hmm not to flex but ||IYMC gold medal winner lmao||

The second round problems are always pretty fun

[obsidian harbor]

Yoooo

Damn

Did you get into finals

[dusk walrus]

Ye

[obsidian harbor]

How the heck do you do these problems

[dusk walrus]

Did it in grade 10 or 11 dunno

[obsidian harbor]

Math ain't mathing

💀💀

How did you even know this

How to solve these problems

Even after knowing a2 math I'm not able to do it

😭

[dusk walrus]

Oh umm most of em are intuition based

[obsidian harbor]

Can I slide in your dms

[paper rapids]

Nice. Please share some interesting questions.

[dusk walrus]

I'll have to look for older problems but will do when I find em

[kind iron]

Btw @dusk walrus

What happened to your waitlists?

Any updates

[dusk walrus]

Nothing 😦

Roch it is

International+ full aid + waitlist is never a good thing

[kind iron]

dang

allg

roch is really good too

goodluck

when are you leaving

[dusk walrus]

16th aug

[kind iron]

noice

[plain agate]

Ngl a2 math wouldn't help you much anyway, it doesn't cover proofs and pure maths at all

[obsidian harbor]

What type of math am I supposed to learn then😞

[kind iron]

finish a level math first

you need to be good at the basics

[plain agate]

^^

Proofs are covered in further math tho

[vocal spire]

only induction

😔

[dusk walrus]

Alevel further maths doesn't even get you math credit for honour calc at most unis 😭

[kind iron]

real LOL

mine are even more strict

ngl if you wanna go america

just do AP

[obsidian harbor]

.....

[kind iron]

fuck a levels

[obsidian harbor]

Man I wished I gave my aps

Actually

[kind iron]

you still can

[obsidian harbor]

I can next year

[kind iron]

do calc AC and BC or wtv tf that was called

[solar void]

my uni gave me credits for a level bio chem physics but not math

[obsidian harbor]

For just college credits

[kind iron]

I would also recommend you do AP cs

that's easy too

[obsidian harbor]

But I can't include aps in my application

[dusk walrus]

Too late lmao

[obsidian harbor]

Cuz I'm giving after

[kind iron]

yep

sadly

[obsidian harbor]

So can only give just for credits

[dusk walrus]

In my next life maybe

[kind iron]

just mark in your application

that you will do it

cause if they make you take like programming I or wtv

[obsidian harbor]

I mean

[kind iron]

that's NOT IT

[obsidian harbor]

I'm not gonna give predicted ap scores lmao

Can't just say I'll give aps

[kind iron]

yeah i know

[plain agate]

I never actually did further math lol

[vocal spire]

||even if it does, it's probably not an actual honors level...||

[dusk walrus]

Fair fair

[twin glacier]

😭😭

[scenic forge]

Calc has been easy here

Its mainly A levels stuff dumbed down

[dark laurel]

I took them, calculus 1, 2, linear algebra, and probability and statistics without even an As level maths and still aced them lol

[scenic forge]

I hate linear

[dark laurel]

It was literally a gift to me and it's a shame that I didn't get an A+, I got an A instead cuz I screwed up in the final which I would have nailed ( I had a painful neck injury that time, so ye that was my excuse cuz I didn't study very well)

[solar void]

calc 1 and 2 were mostly the same but we had series and some theorems

also you had to learn how stuff worked instead of just plugging everything into formulas like a levels

linear algebra only had complex numbers and some other basic line stuff from a levels

the rest was all different

[solar void]

HOW

did you become a scammer

[dark laurel]

Yes, that's how I became a multi-billionaire

[dark laurel]

Fr, wut happened?

[solar void]

someone sent a scam here

mods deleted it

[twin glacier]

[scenic forge]

man you're lucky

mine is all over the place

i thought it was easy and chilled but im actually having to study for it

calc 2 i found easier than 1

[solar void]

no those are the only two topics that helped a bit

[scenic forge]

mainly due to prof

[solar void]

the rest was all new stuff

and I had to do it

[scenic forge]

my 1 prof was a totally new prof

so she had challenges

and the course was bad

[solar void]

both were good for me because they had the same coordinator but I liked the instructor I chose in 2 better

[scenic forge]

my 2 one had made the course easy

i dont attend classes since its morning but his slides and his teaching is good

and homework is fair

my physics 1 was a really good prof

physics 2 is ehh

hihii

i have my hsitroy and gro caies in oct, 6 weeks to be exact but i havent started studying yet, do i have enough time?

[grizzled sierra]

nop

ur dead

[wary pollen]

Hi. This is a university related question.
I am an applicant who has transcripts from school until 10th, my IGCSE grades are not great either. I tried AS level and it didn't go well. I couldn't complete A levels since my documents were invalid and my family account was blocked. Long story short, after 3 years I now have valid documents and the money.

All this time, I have been self studying the relevant subjects and now I badly want to study at an educational institute.

Since I don't have 11th and 12th, it's difficult for me to get into unis. What options do I have to bridge this gap in order to get into a uni? Other than CIE

I am currently preparing for SAT, but I am scared if it will not be accepted.

[kind iron]

If you have been self studying for 3 years you probably are already very confident with everything so I think you should just take the exams in oct/nov and apply this upcoming applications round

[wary pollen]

I am looking forward to study in Germany

[wary pollen]

I have self studied A level Physics and the other subjects are not A levels. I am quite scared of A levels lol. I got too stressed out in my AS exams that I couldn't even write my paper.

[kind iron]

You have done a lot of prep I am pretty sure, so do some more past papers and hopefully that will build your confidence more

There is nothing to be scared of

It’s just another exam

[wary pollen]

I'll see about it. If anyone else has an idea, please let me know. 🙂

[wide mantle]

I mean no disrespect, but if you feel too stressed with AS level how are you gonna deal with uni? At least try your best and give as level this oct/Nov or composite in m/j.

Unis require you to have a certificate of education. Regardless of whether it is CIE, IB, Btech or any other board the process is the same; you'll have to study and give exams.

If your exam anxiety is so bad that it interferes with your performance, seek counseling, therapy or anti anxiety medication etc

[vocal spire]

usually some unis have a foundation program, maybe some could accept you there

[wary pollen]

Sounds good. thanks @vocal spire
