@@fasihzubair481 me too bro, me too

How was it

​@@fasihzubair481how was it?

Ohh, now I wish I made this video sooner! 😅 Thanks a lot though, and I hope you have found a place and degree that you enjoy!! 😉

Hey Have you got selected or not ????

@@herlim6927 I ended up getting 81! But I got rejected from Oxford after an interview

@@envy5608 oh! Would you like to share something about your interview? What they check during an interview???

@@herlim6927 I had three interviews and they all asked different types of questions. they are going to be unfamiliar so my tip is to talk aloud what you think, slow down and don't panic. if truly stuck the interviewer will help you with a few hints

Hi just wondering if you need to sit mat for imperial?

Thanks a lot!! 😊

That’s an amazing score! Be proud of yourself, you did great!! Honestly it is their loss 😉

im planning to apply do you mind giving tips on the whole ordeal?

I first went through all the contents that MAT will cover so things like calculus, coordinate geometry, and you know all those things. I then saw how many days/weeks/ months I had towards my MAT and I made a timetable for when to do what paper. I spread them out equally so I didn’t rush through all the papers at once then sort of forget it . Start with the older papers and slowly work up to the newer papers as they were a little easier so that’s why. When you do the papers, don’t be anxious for finding them really hard from the start. Whenever you make a mistake, right down and understand thoroughly what the mark scheme wants and how you can approach future questions the same way. Maybe next time if you see a similar question you know exactly how to approach it or you may find a creative way. But never go a bit off tangent even if you get the right answer as they care about working a lot more than the answer itself. For multiple choice, also practice TMUA. You may even sit the TMUA for Warwick or use it for practice for the multiple choice as they give you a lot more practice on those. Do each paper at least twice but give each attempt a huge break so you first don’t remember the answers as much and so you can look back and see how you approached the question now and before. And keep improving your answer to how they want. Hope this is useful. Sorry if you were confused I just realised I used my old account to respond haha

@@akiraalexander7751 thank you very much

thats crazy, I would expect 77 to get you a place for sure

Thanks a lot!! :) In my opinion, it’s absolutely worth it!! It might take a while to get used to the workload in the beginning, after you’ve got it figured out you’ll have plenty of time for your hobbies or friends and you’ll have a great time at uni! We also get very long vacations, so it’s not all that intense all the time! 😊

No, I didn’t fly to the UK to take the test, I took it in a city near where I live. You can find the closest test centre here: www.admissionstesting.org/find-a-centre/ ☺️

watching this 3 days before the MAT haha

😌😌

yes 😭

Definitely just a myth! 😉 As far as I know, the kids who score best in international maths olympiads opt either for Oxford or for MIT/Harvard, so I would definitely call it just a myth But I guess it’s quite subjective and it just depends on your personal preference, as the courses are a bit different

That’s good bro keep pushing 💪🏾

Usually, yes, it is a great score!! You need to look at the statistics for every year though, as some years the papers might have been easier. But generally speaking, a score of over 70 is amazing, so good job!

@@ioanaroman2947 ok, thank you for the help

also, how did you choose between oxford and cambridge, or was it not really a decision that you had to make?

I did actually participate in Maths Olympiads every year throughout high school, went to the National Maths Olympiad and got some medals - I've briefly talked about these and how they affected my understanding of Maths in my Personal Statement. I took the Romanian Baccalaureate, it's similar to the A levels, my grades got translated into A*A*A* in the A level format. Hope this helps! :)

@@ioanaroman2947 Thank you for the response, much appreciated. Did you also mention about your Olympiad background in the UCAS application for UK unis? Is there any ‘Extracurriculars’ section for that? I am applying next year for Oxford - Mathematics or Maths + Comp Sci. My predicted A Level grades are straight A* but I also did maths Olympiad for 3 years and got into the follow up rounds for all of them, hence I really wanted to highlight that as a potential advantage!

I only mentioned the Olympiads in my personal statement, I would strongly suggest you do the same, as they really are a factor that can set you apart from the other candidates and you can elaborate a bit in your essay about what you have gained from this experience (e.g. the ability to work independently, studying material outside of the level of the classroom etc.)

@@ioanaroman2947 Thank you so much for the advice, much appreciated! Hope you are having a fabulous time at Oxford! :)

@@ioanaroman2947 Ive never been in a maths olympiad do you think its to late to do so? Im year 12

if you look at the examiner’s reports on physicsandmathstutor then u get the average marks of each year of the people that got an interview

Sure you can! As long you are passionate about Maths you’ll do great! Best of luck! :)

@@ioanaroman2947 tysm

@@ioanaroman2947 Math I am good at but Language Arts I am in trouble at with writing proper essay!

@@yagyaparasar4376did you get in ??

The MAT test isn’t online it is written at an exam centre which could be your school

Wow u are real

Nvm

Am in Ghana and Don't know any exam center here everyone write exam in their own school

Pls drop your ig

☺️

I need the answer to this question right now 😭😭😭😭😭

Yes, I think that would be a great strategy to start with! A lot of the Maths you do at uni is built upon A Level Maths so you need to have that knowledge up to date. ☺️

I don’t have a scholarship, I have taken a credit from the UK government.

haha thank you! 😌

ew
