Eee! I finally got my offer from St. Andrews! AAB, in any three subjects. ^_^
( table )
I've got until May 3 to finally decide (on my insurance choice (Hull or York) - I'm going to a Warwick open day, but StA is top top top).
... Doesn't this read like one of those sport-star manga? The hero starts something (here, Physics), and begins to climb in relation to his peers. When he gets really quite good, another level of difficulty is introduced (first top-set single-science GCSE) then another (narrowing the group down to 19 AS students) then another (narrowing down to 8 A2 students).
Then, when the hero is starting to get a bit cocky, tournaments are introduced (Uni Applications). The hero whitewashes at the first few (Hull, York, Nottingham) and gets even cockier, then tackles something difficult and survives (Warwick) aims too high and burns (Cambridge), and then gets their confidence back just in time for the final thing, which isn't as high as the one they failed at, but is has better but less spoken qualities (StA).
Of course, the hero tends to eventually beat the one-that-he-burned-at, but I'll wait until postgrad to attempt Cambridge again. ^^;
Anyroad, I'd best get to work on my last three modules - Chemistry: Chains, Rings and Spectroscopy, Mechanics 2, and Mathematics: Further Pure 1.
And with dropping down from A FMaths to AS FMaths, I'm confident that I can get an A in single Maths. So that an Chem need to be the best, and I just need to keep up in Physics.
