Has put down for maths, physics and chemistry. Naturally pretty good at all 3. GCSEs results should be good.8s maybe 9s.
He can be a bit scatty and has worked over the summer at Alevel prep( nudged by us) however I think it’s safe to say an Alevel in XBox gaming would be ideal for him.🙄
At the last hour is thinking from changing from extended project to further maths Alevel as 4 th option. 😩Has been in set 1 and 2 at a grammar for maths. Hoping for 8 or 9.
We’re going round the houses. Imperial and Oxbridge would want further maths but they may not be his kind of place and he may not have the work ethic to get the grades needed 3 A*s. Other unis with more realistic but high requirements are less fussed re further maths.
The essay and research time V further maths being potentially hard is the conundrum.
Is good at maths but doesn’t adore it and is more a natural engineer and lover of physics and chemistry.
Not impressed with the last minute dithering.😩
