Oh cool! I meant that as in unit wise; I would definitely recommend doing at least M1

gonna have to stop you there. I have no idea what all that means.

I have always wanted to do architecture but always assumed one would have to go to an architecture school and stuff. Figured structural engineering could veer off to become like architecture. Would love to do it.

Hey, that's exactly the A-levels I did! I'm sure you've done enough maths exams by this stage to know the game, so all I can say is good luck.

I'm currently 3 exams away from an MEng in Mechanical Engineering and the end of my formal education, having done my thesis viva today. I'm still on a high from finishing my last ever piece of coursework and am pretty chilled about the exams knowing I'd really have to fuck it up to affect my degree classification.

I was really shocked by the level of exams when I first came to uni, but the stress definitely reduces over the years, even if the weighting of the exams increases.

Basically maths and further maths are split up into various units (at least on my exam board), such as mechanics, statistics, differential equations, etc. and mechanics is brilliant for engineering stuff!

Structural engineering also looks great and from what I can tell the two do become quite similar, just architecture involves more pretty pictures.

Likewise good luck to you too!

What uni are you at, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm at Bristol- I love the city and have really enjoyed the course. What are you planning on doing next year?

i sucked so hard at exams, completely ballsed my A-levels up. but luckily i always wanted to go to art school, and have always been fairly good at interviews. am currently heading towards my 6th year of study. bloody love it.

big props to all of you examers :) best of luck!!!

Doing architecture, all being well; firmed with Bath, insurance is Sheffield.

at least do m1

Oh. I thought if you did further maths you do all the units.

Basically maths and further maths are split up into various units (at least on my exam board), such as mechanics, statistics, differential equations, etc.

NGL I do take a bit of pleasure doing some of the more interesting stuff in maths though don't care much for statistics and probability (Bayes theorum ect).

Structural engineering also looks great and from what I can tell the two do become quite similar, just architecture involves more pretty pictures.

That's good. How many pretty pictures are there in structural cause I do enjoy a good sketch.

Nice, both have good cycling clubs!

Got another Maths exam in June as part of my Engineering degree. Only taken one exam (from last year, also for this course, but I passed, so there is that) in the past 15 years. I hate it.

Not sure about the other exam boards, but for MEI, you do a total of 12 units over the two years (6 per year) where you do the compulsory units then pick and choose the rest.

From doing a week of work experience, the sketches are more done to accompany calcs.

Ah. I don't really know what were doing but I'd expect we just do all the Ines were expected. I can swaer that would really much up the timetabling.

Yeah. I don't really know what to expect regarding actually doing engineering.

Just sat my first of 6 exams over the next two week - all uni finals.

Lets just say Advanced Financial Accounting didnt go so well.

Spooked after what i thought was gonna be a relatively strong performance, and almost convinced i wont hit a 1st now, i got home and spent a few hours angrily creating an overcomplicated formula riddled spreadsheet that predicted my overall grade dependent on the weighted average of each module component already sat over the last two years (first year doesn't count) as well as predicting possible outcomes over the next two weeks based on amount of revision........

.....should have probably spent the hours revising for my next exam on Wednesday....

......should probably have not procrastinated cabling a new build the rest of the afternoon....

.....should not have started a new build a week before finals....

....shouldnt still be on LFGSS

1st exam on Friday (spanish) , since my last mock i have pulled a u up to an a* and i think i may actually pass but i have neglected the entire idea of revision for some other subjects (trying to avoid the fact that i do chemistry) so the time to cram has begun!
hopefully my table doesn't collapse like in my last exam...

and how does one revise maths?

don't

Nah, past papers are the best IMO.

and how does one revise maths?

past papers/exam solutions to the rescue,

Sat my first exam of 9 this morning, not too bad, ran out of time, mehh decent performance. 7/10, less panic more writing nxt time.

yo @Uoeno
how did economics go for you ? yeah ran out of time as well , context 1 or 2?

It wasn't too bad, imma be another person to complain about time though, didn't even finish my conclusion on the essay. But multiple choice was okay, saw some q's i had already done before.

wbu, how was the multiple choice, and what extract did you choose? I chose the first one, on income inequalities, etc, etc. The second one baffled me with "technical economies of scale" so i didn't even bother

Ah ok I did the second one, it got easier after the definition tbh
multiple choice was ok as well , a few questions I wasn't sure about but hopefully did ok.
Macro next week !

Negl, my macro sucks. You ready?

Kind of , actually more similar to politics than micro so I'm ok , how's the rest of your timetable looking?

im at UCL 2nd year studying neuroscience+medical physics
this exam period is a total nightmare for me. despite starting revision quite early, having 4 exams in 5 days is just killing. I cant switch focus just like that and I'm getting mentally tired.
I have 2 of my most difficult exams tomorrow, psychology in the morning and pharmacology in the afternoon. yeah almost 6 hours of sucking "academical dick" is not my ideal tuesday activity but #yolo. Doesn't even matter how deeply I know what I have to, if I am not gonna be in the proper mental state I am just damned for real. I wish I did an easier course with more focused modules.

However my dosnoventa frame should arrive tomorrow. So the feeling of coming back home from a hard day of extreme brain-exercise and smelling a pink houston might just give me enough power to ace them exams.

Ah lucky, atm my timetable is decent, only one exam left for this week (Maths) which is on tuesday.

Buuuuuut next week is arghewuewinewudan, 4 exams in 3 days, lel, starts with physics AND eco on the same day, then more maths and chem to top it all off. But after that, only 3 exams left

Wbu?

Absolutely bottled one of my finals today what should have been my best exam, will be one of my worst result. Gutted. Roll on 2-2 :/

:( what course you doing?
