move the exponent 7 times to the left so that your most significant bits are 0.1 which will mean it is normalized (question mentions that it is an unsigned integer, meaning it is positive)

since you have 2 more bits than the required amount in the system, remove the last 2 bits from the mantissa

[warped bobcat]

which unis are you applying to

also if you're applying for financial aid the top few (harvard, princeton, yale, dartmouth) are quite competitive. dartmouth turned need-blind this year and a shit ton of ppl are applying ED

[muted swan]

fr

[warped bobcat]

i know like 3 people EDing dartmouth

[muted swan]

so many interanationals applying to dartmouth

on reddit

[warped bobcat]

im not going to apply to ivies

pretty sure

my profile isnt that competitive

[muted swan]

youre applying to the US though?

[warped bobcat]

i'm looking at LACs (liberal arts schools) and like a bit less competitive places

yep

[muted swan]

same

im applying to the US

[warped bobcat]

they tend to give good aid (im applying for aid) and my interests are more in the arts

so LACs seem like a good fit

[warped bobcat]

cool which unis?

[muted swan]

top publics and rea ivy

[warped bobcat]

cool

top publics are competitive

which ivy lol

[muted swan]

yes and for cs its like

[warped bobcat]

yea for cs you have to try

purdue

uiuc etc

[muted swan]

mhm

[warped bobcat]

michigan

[muted swan]

what major you goin for

[warped bobcat]

i am applying to a few publics as some give merit aid

[muted swan]

lil nervous to share it here sorry

[warped bobcat]

texas schools

[warped bobcat]

politics/ir

something like that

[muted swan]

youre internationsl?

[warped bobcat]

yea

im not a US citizen

[muted swan]

oh okay

[warped bobcat]

how about you

[warped bobcat]

dw

[muted swan]

i am

[warped bobcat]

oh cool

you're eligible for aid/fafsa as well then

more opportunities

[muted swan]

yeah

are you goin test optional

or did you take the sat/act

[warped bobcat]

yes

test optional

[muted swan]

oh okay

[warped bobcat]

idk i could take it in december but eh

i dont want to take a gap year anyways

[muted swan]

hm

[warped bobcat]

if i can't get a good offer im happy with i'll just study locally and transfer to an overseas uni

[muted swan]

i was gonna go test optional but then took the oct one

[warped bobcat]

technically i'm on my gap

as exams are this month for me

[muted swan]

got a decent score finally

[warped bobcat]

and i was supposed to finish it in June

[quaint prairie]

js do post grad

[muted swan]

sup SD

[warped bobcat]

oh cool

[quaint prairie]

abroad

it's cheaper prob

[warped bobcat]

my uncle has been telling me this lol

[quaint prairie]

and will help more with getting a job

[warped bobcat]

i'll probably consider something like that tbh

just want to shoot my shot this time

[quaint prairie]

than transferring and finishing undergrad

[warped bobcat]

if i get a good aid package at a good uni then i don't rlly have to pay much

[muted swan]

wait kg have you posted something on the chaceme subreddit bfore

i think i saw you

[warped bobcat]

not recently no

[muted swan]

or was it someone else

no way back

[warped bobcat]

hm

yea maybe

[muted swan]

i searched up ZNotes

and found

you

[warped bobcat]

yes

lol

[muted swan]

on the chanceme subreddit

[warped bobcat]

its one of my ec's

tbh im not going to ask for a chanceme anymore, i'll just apply and see what happens

[quaint prairie]

yeah but realistically the odds are against you

[warped bobcat]

its already a given that

i'll get rejected from most places

yea

[quaint prairie]

you will get many offers for sure

[warped bobcat]

i can take a gap year and do the SAT/do more ECs and improve my profile but idk

[quaint prairie]

it's just the aid

[warped bobcat]

yes

[quaint prairie]

is very difficult

[muted swan]

that subreddit is depressing

[warped bobcat]

i can get into most state schools

aid is another story

[muted swan]

i dont look at it anymore

[warped bobcat]

peeps from my country do go to the US, some under a government scholarship

[wide knoll]

Yo @warped bobcat

[warped bobcat]

but that's hard to get

you need like 9 A* at igcse

lol

[warped bobcat]

hi

[quaint prairie]

im doing that lmfai

which part of the world are you from

[warped bobcat]

malaysia

[quaint prairie]

ah no nvm

[wide knoll]

Hi, how are ur exams going?

[warped bobcat]

so most peeps either go there under the gov scholarship

or go full pay (usually at UCs in california)

most end up in the uk/australia tbh if they can pay

since the admissions requirements are transparent

[warped bobcat]

its hell

[muted swan]

damn

[warped bobcat]

also NZ unis seem like a scam

[quaint prairie]

i met some malaysians at my uni

[muted swan]

oh wait kg

[warped bobcat]

an admissions rep came to my school

university of waikato

[muted swan]

exams and college apps at the same time?

[warped bobcat]

college apps after exams

ik its very tight

[wide knoll]

Damn why so

[warped bobcat]

but im like free for an entire month

[wide knoll]

NZ exchange rate has depreciated quite a bit these days

[warped bobcat]

i mean the costs are quite high and idk not many scholarships are offered

thats true

cost of living is high tho

[wide knoll]

I think there are scholarships

[warped bobcat]

i think they accept 2 Cs for admission

lol

[wide knoll]

I realised that NZ is actually the cheapest country rn

[wide knoll]

Even lower

[muted swan]

not going early action?

[warped bobcat]

nope because transcripts, letters of rec, essays not ready yet

i told them i'm doing RD apps for all

[muted swan]

oh okay

skittles, gamenado doing both college apps and oct nov exams

[wide knoll]

@warped bobcat btw NZ has good scholarships if u are one of those indigenous Maori/Pacific islander people

[warped bobcat]

i'm getting like 2 letters of rec + possibly an additional one which ties in with one of my extracurriculars

plus counselor report

[muted swan]

its so painful for him

[wide knoll]

Damn

Rip

[warped bobcat]

bruh

yea its a lot

[wide knoll]

That’s why I don’t wanna go to US unis

[warped bobcat]

i have to do common app essay after exams end

[wide knoll]

It’s like another 6 months gap too

[warped bobcat]

also i scheduled like 10 interviews with colleges

after exams

[muted swan]

nice

[warped bobcat]

to show interest

[warped bobcat]

yea have to wait until march for decisions

[muted swan]

interest is not a factor for top unis

[warped bobcat]

hm true

[muted swan]

you can check the dataset

[warped bobcat]

lol

canadian unis seem pretty shady as well

apart from the top few

not going to bother applying to them because the application fee is a lot and like it gets expensive

and every indian male is going to canada at this rate 💀

[muted swan]

canada is cold

[muted swan]

cant rn

[warped bobcat]

my uncle is attempting to migrate to canada in december

[muted swan]

the situation

[quaint prairie]

it's unusual that they care about demonstrated interest

[warped bobcat]

with his family

[wide knoll]

I didn’t even bother to apply cause they like 1 scholarship for 10 000 people

[warped bobcat]

he already got the visas

ik there's this visa thing going on now

[quaint prairie]

most dgaf

[muted swan]

damn luckt

[warped bobcat]

some of them do care

[muted swan]

LMAO

[warped bobcat]

gives me citizen khan vibes

[muted swan]

i mean

[warped bobcat]

but ok

some of the interviews are 'evaluative' and some of them dont play a role in admissions

the thing about the US is that each college has its own policies for admissions

it is almost never consistent

[quaint prairie]

when i applied i applied to roughly around 20 or something and i dont remember one of them caring about that

[wide knoll]

@warped bobcat I think the best Uni for scholarships in NZ is university of Canterbury

Waikato is not that good of a Uni

[warped bobcat]

which unis did you apply to

i'm looking at liberal arts schools more

[wide knoll]

And Waikato as a place is like the worst place to live in NZ

[warped bobcat]

there's this consortium in california called claremont consortium

[wide knoll]

Like u would be in Hamilton

[warped bobcat]

and claremont college like asked me to email an alumni for the interview

so i emailed this sg alumni

[quaint prairie]

cant remember been 2 years

[warped bobcat]

he was like just let me know when you're free after exams

[muted swan]

harvey mudd

[warped bobcat]

claremont mckenna

pomona, pitzer

[muted swan]

i was gonna apply there initally

[warped bobcat]

they're all next to each other

yes harvey mudd is more stem

[muted swan]

i heard the academics are super

rigouous

[warped bobcat]

i see

[muted swan]

rigourous

[warped bobcat]

yep

[quaint prairie]

harvey mudd is hardest in the country

[warped bobcat]

reed college as well

[muted swan]

and its like most people get into harvey mudd

through ed

[wide knoll]

They accept anyone into their degrees but for Uni accommodation, they only accept about 30% of the people

[warped bobcat]

california schools are rich af but stingy

like USC is very rich but they dont offer need based aid

even tho they're private

[muted swan]

im still debating whether i should apply to UCs

[warped bobcat]

public schools i understand their predicament tbh

like UCs

they have state funding

[muted swan]

they give no aid

even to oos

students

[warped bobcat]

yes

and they have their own application portal

the deadline is 30 nov for some reason

[muted swan]

yup

[warped bobcat]

mfs at berkely and ucla has to process 100k applications

so

[muted swan]

so i have time after nov1st

[warped bobcat]

oh

i think intl requirements are higher

and like they offer limited scholarships and all

@wide knoll you should apply to a few US unis tbh just to see what happens

you have time after exams

up to you tho

oh

[wide knoll]

I think I might, I will likely get rejected though

[warped bobcat]

which unis are you considering

[wide knoll]

Yeah like scholarships that are 50% off

[warped bobcat]

im avoiding ivy leagues and any top place

my school sent a guy to MIT last year but he was probably cracked

[wide knoll]

I was considering maybe Uni of Southern California (I think I roughly have the grades to get into it)

[muted swan]

USC???

[wide knoll]

But like I didn’t really ask my school for official transcripts

[warped bobcat]

its very competitive

[muted swan]

it aint just grades they look at

[warped bobcat]

essays

letters of rec

extracurriculars

[wide knoll]

@warped bobcat btw in NZ, if u are a domestic student and want a Uni accommodation, ur school teacher/principal needs to submit a confidential report about you

[warped bobcat]

ability to pay (usc will reject anyone who can't pay 70k a year since their merit scholarships are like, even if you get it you can lose the scholarship and if you do then they don't want you to drop out)

[warped bobcat]

interesting

[muted swan]

honours

[warped bobcat]

i literally have 2 honors

💀

[wide knoll]

Yeah it’s not required for international students though and I think they say that they reserved places for accommodation for international students that are under 18

[warped bobcat]

and my ECs aren't like

national/intl awards

[muted swan]

its still fine

you can get in without honors

[warped bobcat]

i think if you go by the rankings

i'll apply to tufts

[muted swan]

oooo

[warped bobcat]

which is the highest in the list (like t30)

it seems interesting and like more liberal artsy?

and they give aid

but quite competitive

[muted swan]

what about colgate

[warped bobcat]

yea probably colgate

and all the main LACs

[muted swan]

notre dame

[wide knoll]

@warped bobcat I think there is legit just 1 person in my school applying to a U.S. university

[warped bobcat]

hamilton, kenyon, skidmore, bates, williams, pomona, carleton, macalester

[muted swan]

theres only 2 in our school

including me

[warped bobcat]

there's a few dozen

[warped bobcat]

i think a few did apply in my school

but idk any of them

[muted swan]

and both of us are domestic

so

[warped bobcat]

my counselor mentioned some people applied early decision

but its probably very few

since most people use the UCAS form and apply to uk unis

[warped bobcat]

oh bruh

[wide knoll]

And like just 1 or maybe 2 people applying to UK

And no one is applying to Canada

[muted swan]

uk be giving no scholarships to int

[warped bobcat]

uk is a scam

unless you get into the top few

[wide knoll]

I think lots of people are applying to Australia

[warped bobcat]

its just like expensive af

and no scholarship yes

[warped bobcat]

yep makes sense

you dont need a visa to live there

[wide knoll]

Australia is a lot more expensive than NZ (even for domestic students)

[warped bobcat]

is the tuition rates lower btw

for NZ citizens in australia

[wide knoll]

Yeah they are but more expensive than NZ

In NZ, first year is free

[warped bobcat]

👀

i think they quoted NZ 35,000 a year for fees at waikato

thats for tuition

for like intl peeps

[muted swan]

kg how are your grades like

[warped bobcat]

not stellar

my AS is ABB

predicted is A*BB

[muted swan]

thats amazinf

[warped bobcat]

my actual might be like A*AB or ABB

and it will come in jan

[warped bobcat]

im probably gonna get rejected from most places lol but yea

[muted swan]

breh

[warped bobcat]

im looking at netherlands too

[wide knoll]

Damn that’s cheaper than Auckland

[warped bobcat]

since requirements are a bit lower

[muted swan]

bro has his own community

[warped bobcat]

true that's an EC

[wide knoll]

@warped bobcat Hamilton (where Uni of Waikato is) is like the worst place in NZ

[warped bobcat]

also the B in econs was a retake and i got like E the first time

💀

its an improvement nevertheless

ik some unis don't really prefer that and given im applying for aid

i have to select my college list when i apply

[warped bobcat]

oh bruh

[muted swan]

number 1 ec fr

[wide knoll]

I mean it’s okish but like every other city in NZ is better

[warped bobcat]

do maori people live in the countryside

how does it work

[wide knoll]

Hamilton has this reputation of being a city full of crime in NZ

[wide knoll]

Nah they are like everywhere

[warped bobcat]

ik in new zealand the british didn't go kill all the maoris

unlike australia with the aboriginals

lol

they killed off all the aboriginals in tasmania and its a white land now

[muted swan]

wha bout mich state

[warped bobcat]

i'm planning to list it

[wide knoll]

Māori people are just like normal people but like are a lot muscular

[warped bobcat]

i have a few other leadership ecs as well

will tie in well

[wide knoll]

In NZ

[warped bobcat]

we created the resource website as well

[muted swan]

nice

[warped bobcat]

and znotes stuff

summer program i did before

with dartmouth

it was all online but a good experience nevertheless

[warped bobcat]

i see

[muted swan]

was it competitive?

the summer program

[warped bobcat]

not exactly but they gave me a scholarship

[muted swan]

in terms of acceptance

[wide knoll]

Northland (basically like the land above Auckland) is where majority of Māori people live I think

[warped bobcat]

i indicated i couldn't pay 750 dollars lol

and they were like ok you're in pay 50 bucks

[wide knoll]

Auckland has a lot more Asian people in certain areas I think

[warped bobcat]

i think its a first come first serve thing

i heard about it on another server and i joined with this other dude

[muted swan]

damn

[warped bobcat]

oh

[muted swan]

i regret not doing a summer program

[warped bobcat]

most of the peeps who attended were like

[muted swan]

like ssp or rsi

[warped bobcat]

new england american peeps

and one from florida, another from colorado

and a few indians

[warped bobcat]

i heard it doesnt really give that much of an impact nowadays

[wide knoll]

Yeah ik pretty much all of NZ is quite diverse and evenly distributed along the cities near Auckland

[warped bobcat]

since there are a lot of summer programs

[muted swan]

rsi

people who do rsi

50%+ go to hypm

stanford as well

its an insane boos

boost

[warped bobcat]

i see

yea it seems competitive

[muted swan]

it is lo

lol

[wide knoll]

@warped bobcat Jacinda Ardern attended Uni of Waikato

[warped bobcat]

stuff like YYGS is more common

[muted swan]

even ssp is

[warped bobcat]

yale scholars

[muted swan]

oh i heard of yygs

[warped bobcat]

i see

[muted swan]

but ssp and rsi way more competitive

[warped bobcat]

satya nadella (ceo of microsoft) attended MIT

manipal institute of technology 👍

[muted swan]

haha

[warped bobcat]

manipal is a good place for medicine here

[wide knoll]

I think going international for uni is not that worth it cause it will leave with u debt and not much employment opportunities

[warped bobcat]

but you have to go to india for the first 2 years or so

[muted swan]

wait manipal is in india though

[warped bobcat]

and then they have a campus here

[muted swan]

fun fact

[warped bobcat]

to complete the last 2.5 yrs

[muted swan]

i did research there

[warped bobcat]

interesting

[warped bobcat]

i agree especially if you live in NZ

[muted swan]

gtg now

[warped bobcat]

might as well study at auckland or otago

[muted swan]

bye bye

[warped bobcat]

and go overseas for masters

[warped bobcat]

bye

i might apply to ashoka university

its this school in india which is quite well renowned

[wide knoll]

Yeah I agree

[muted swan]

i can apply to india with my sat score💪

[wide knoll]

NZ environment is quite chill compared to every other country

[muted swan]

places like bits pilani, manipal and vit

[warped bobcat]

i see

[wide knoll]

That’s why I like it here

[muted swan]

allow internationals to submit their sat score

[warped bobcat]

my safety is basically my local universities

[muted swan]

instead of taking exams like bitsat or jee

[wide knoll]

Like u have almost no competitive vibe anywhere

[warped bobcat]

my friends are opting for this transfer program for law

they do 2 years here

fina year they can transfer to a UK uni

[muted swan]

look at flame uni as well

in pune

[warped bobcat]

it is a good option but the unis they give you are like

its okay tbh

like leeds, liverpool

sheffield i think

[warped bobcat]

i've heard about it

i might just apply to ashoka

also might apply to duke's campus in china and nyu abu dhabi/shanghai

[muted swan]

what did you do at znotes?

[warped bobcat]

i contributed notes

and did study sessions

[muted swan]

subject?

[warped bobcat]

english

if i tell you which notes exactly you can find my name lol

[wide knoll]

@warped bobcat how many references do u need for US unis btw?

[warped bobcat]

some unis need 1 from one of your main subject teachers

recommended 2

plus counselor report

[muted swan]

i can find your name im an intern lol

[warped bobcat]

yes cool found it before

😳

[muted swan]

lol

[wide knoll]

It will be hard for me to do all that lol

[warped bobcat]

why lol

[wide knoll]

Cause my school is basically finished

[warped bobcat]

bad relationship with teacher

oh

[wide knoll]

I just have to go school for like 3 days

[wide knoll]

Nah not that

[warped bobcat]

i mean i meet one of my teachers regularly and already told her about my plans

she said she will write a letter for me

[wide knoll]

It’s just that the academic year is over in NZ and they might be on vacation

[warped bobcat]

i haven't asked my other teacher yet and i last talked to her in june

💀

[wide knoll]

I did request a testimonial from every teacher though

Idk if I can use that

[warped bobcat]

also i might plan to ask another teacher to write a rec based on an extracurricular that both of us were involved in

but let's see

[warped bobcat]

the teacher has to send it

thats the thing

on the common application portal you have to invite your teacher's email

and they have to fill it up

[wide knoll]

Yeah it’s just that contacting my teachers and councillor would be difficult

[warped bobcat]

the bureaucratic process that we have here is complicated af

[wide knoll]

They did ask us to tell us about our plans in like August or smthn

[warped bobcat]

we sent peeps to harvard and mit and yet we don't have a standardised system

[wide knoll]

And I said I wanna go to NZ unis

[warped bobcat]

apparently there can be more than 1 counselor in our school

a teacher can voluntarily act as a counselor

💀

[wide knoll]

But like my school only just has 1 councillor

[warped bobcat]

basically she's like just send me your grades i'll upload it and write a reference for you by looking at what your teachers wrote

[warped bobcat]

i see

yea you have to be proactive

[wide knoll]

Yeah I might not apply to US unis I guess

[warped bobcat]

there are a lot of procedures tbh

[wide knoll]

@warped bobcat even applying to Australian unis from NZ is a weird process due to certificate issues

[warped bobcat]

but im just going to shoot my shot

i see

[wide knoll]

Cause they can’t verify results until u get a certificate

[warped bobcat]

you know im not so sure of what transcripts to submit to them

since my old school was like shit they didnt do internal exams in year 10 and 11

and i only have pre-cambridge checkpoint and igcse certs

[wide knoll]

And they don’t have access to ur results if u are from NZ

[warped bobcat]

yes yes

for australia

[wide knoll]

Yeah

[warped bobcat]

they dont accept predicted grades

they want actual results

so over here people wait for the results and then apply for the feb intake/july intake

[wide knoll]

Yeah they need certificates / certifying statement from Cambridge

[warped bobcat]

pretty stupid lol

but australia is like that

[wide knoll]

I mean NZ unis don’t need smthn like that I think

[warped bobcat]

they offer australian programs here (year 12) but its like difficult to get the top ATAR mark

like 98-99

so not really that competitive imo since people can get it done in a year

[wide knoll]

It’s equivalent of getting 3 A*’s

[warped bobcat]

yea

they take 5 subs tho

i feel the difficulty is like more than AS at best

not really A2 level

[wide knoll]

yeah in NZ u take 5 or 6 subjects too for NCEA /A level

[warped bobcat]

i see

[wide knoll]

Yeah that’s why they accept AS levels I think

[warped bobcat]

the canadian program they have here is good

but the people who take it are an absolute joke

[wide knoll]

Lol

[warped bobcat]

i dont take those people seriously lol

they bring basketballs and play it on the campus

[wide knoll]

Lol

[warped bobcat]

because its regarded as easier

their history y12 papers have mcqs 💀

i still think the cert is quite useful imo internationally

[wide knoll]

@warped bobcat I think Australian exams are hard though (I looked at some past ones somewhere)

[warped bobcat]

one of the harvard admits did the canadian program

[wide knoll]

In NZ, the exams follow a particular pattern and are topic based

[warped bobcat]

since you get an ontario diploma

[warped bobcat]

i see

[wide knoll]

Damn

[warped bobcat]

yea possibly

since its hard to get a high atar

[tranquil horizon]

Ncea is a joke

[wide knoll]

Lol true

[warped bobcat]

good thing about a levels is

its well recognised

[tranquil horizon]

Just say a sob story and they’ll give you 20 credits

[wide knoll]

I mean what kind of system allows infinite retakes for the same exact exam

[tranquil horizon]

Ik

The fact you can retake an assignment boggles me

[warped bobcat]

also why does nz unis accept grade E english for admission for nz peeps

[wide knoll]

@warped bobcat if u resit exams for NCEA, u get the same paper every time

[warped bobcat]

i dont get it

[warped bobcat]

what the fuck

[wide knoll]

Idk , maybe they confused E as being excellence lol

[tranquil horizon]

It’s D for AS E for Igcse

[warped bobcat]

LMAO

[warped bobcat]

oh bruh

[tranquil horizon]

No C for Igcse

[warped bobcat]

you need C in english igcse here to go to uni/foundation/alevels

or 6.5 ielts

[wide knoll]

Like each school just makes one same paper for internal assessments and students are allowed infinite retakes for the same assessments

Cause ur teacher is the one writing ur exam basically

[warped bobcat]

i think my classmate failed english second lang and he took a gap yr to do ielts and join foundation

[warped bobcat]

bruh

[wide knoll]

And it will be too much for a teacher to write like different exams from scratch for retakes

[warped bobcat]

wait NCEA has internal assessments?

i mean australian year 12 is apparently a mix of internal and external exams (like 50-50 split) so makes sense

[wide knoll]

Yeah it’s mainly based off that and then u have externals (which are even harder than AL’s)

[warped bobcat]

i see

they just simplified the british system tbh

a long time ago they also sat for o levels and a levels

[wide knoll]

NCEA has like 75% internals , 25% externals or like it depends on ur school

[warped bobcat]

ib and a levels are rigorous

other programs it depends tbh

[wide knoll]

I guess so

@warped bobcat NCEA external exams are super hard though

[warped bobcat]

i see

they dont offer NCEA here

[wide knoll]

Like if u fail them, it won’t matter

[wide knoll]

Damn, I think they should

Actually they can’t really

Cause NCEA is not an international curriculum

@warped bobcat NCEA external exams are sometimes made that hard that even the questions in the exam end up being impossible

[warped bobcat]

oh bruh

[warped bobcat]

i see

they offer the WACE here

and SACE

western australian and south australian year 12

[wide knoll]

Damn

[warped bobcat]

idk why australia has different boards for their curriculum

but they both give the atar mark

[wide knoll]

Atar to AL conversion is weird

[tranquil horizon]

is it internationally accepted

like other than the US UK obv

and aus

[wide knoll]

I think so

[tranquil horizon]

Tbh I’m not going anywhere outside nz so I wouldn’t have cared whether I did ncea or Cambridge

[wide knoll]

Same

I decided to go overseas at a point and then realised it’s not worth it

[tranquil horizon]

Costs too much

exactly

its not like nz unis are bad at all

[wide knoll]

Yeah I think if we go to UK/US , getting work there would be a hassle and our degree from US/Uk prob won’t be recognised in NZ if we decide to come back (unless ur degree is from Harvard or Cambridge or the top unis )

[tranquil horizon]

They’d be recognised but they just wouldn’t care

[silk gulch]

@supple gust Maxwell crazyyyy

[supple gust]

Literally made the fastest century 💀

Bro this WC breaking MAD records 😭

[silk gulch]

Most sixes in odi in a year is gonna be broken by rohit💀💀💀

[supple gust]

For real 💀

Bro is magical

[pearl axle]

any of you know how to get a2 psych new syllabus notes

[little oak]

cap

[wide knoll]

I looked at their exams and they were so hard for level 3 maths

Like harder than AL maths

[tranquil horizon]

They do everything on a graphic calculator tho

[wide knoll]

Wait, they do?

Bruh

That’s so much easier then ,

Makes sense why their exams don’t have like some of the basic questions they ask about
points of intersection

[tranquil horizon]

Yeah you just have to know the formulas

[little oak]

u aint seen hard until u see schol calculus

that puts further maths to shame

[wide knoll]

I saw scholarship calculus too

[steel imp]

send in dms please i wanna try

[zinc bluff]

[cedar nymph]

something possessed me today to look and compare thresholds for a levels (i took math and business) and i was wondering about people's opinions on the change in thresholds, because one moment i was laughing at how i could have jumped almost 2 grades higher in business and dread pooling with how math threshold was apparently better then last year and many people (including me) were shocked with their papers and grades?

[heady hollow]

I neeed some advice.... I am planning to apply for unis in Canada for courses in accounting or finance but I have no idea which unis I can maybe get into with my grades, which are A in accounting, B in eco, C in math and business. I did math resit this oct/nov to improve my grade and I have no extracurriculars at all. Do I have any chance to get into good unis?

[misty crater]

Deleted lah

[night wedge]

The uni pages will have sections dedicated to A level students, there you can find out which grades you need for the Uni!!

[lone dirge]
