Just over a week until TMUA

[@joesalmon9937]

Thanks you have been a massive help when revising for the TMUA, hopefully my work will pay off. Good luck to everyone else taking the exam.

[@destroxal6188]

Starting very late and done pretty badly for 2021 TMUA, but I think starting now I will improve with your videos. Thank you for your videos.

[@sweetssamanthaa]

I’m soo scared!! Good luck

[@mkrgaming1118]

thanks for your videos, unknown to me how you don't have more subs - content always delivers

[@Theproofistrivial]

I find long exams much more difficult due to the constant concentration required, would you have any advice on how to not become as mentally fatigued?

[@rtwodrew2]

I think it's just practise, I think it's a lot like physical work in that regard, in that you can't run a marathon unless you've done a lot of long runs. Although having said that even now when I do either long papers just for fun or have some specific job that I'm doing that takes ages I'll just deliberately zone out for a minute or two, maybe get up and walk around, before getting back to it, I find that helps me a lot to keep it focused when I'm back to it

[@Therealfuckyouguy1]

personally i find staying hydrated really helps, eating probably does too and obviously get enough sleep the night before

[@tanzimali6284]

Maybe a quick video going over the specification? not the obvious stuff like 'rationalising the denominator' but the less obvious stuff that we may not have gone over in year 12 like geometric/arithmetic series

[@rtwodrew2]

I have a series specific video out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXSe6BrfLqtbtk I'm not sure how interesting me reading a spec is but I'll have a reread for anything in it

[@hetmakadia3299]

Thank you for all you help!

[@alfiebaxter6372]

Thank you for these videos they are very helpful

[@ming_z9157]

Any luck doing a video on area enclosed by videos , I have a hard time figuring out which area they want me to find

[@sixthsurge]

good luck everyone

[@suspatrol9550]

Good luck guys. remember the average grade on tmua is 4.0-6.5 so aim to get above that !

[@franzliszt4038]

can you explain how the grading system works please?

[@suspatrol9550]

@@franzliszt4038 based on you marks. All i remember off the top of my head is 24 in total is a grade 6.5 and 38 in total is grade 9

[@ahmedsaleh2630]

TMUA tday thank you so much for the help

[@cocoyao4383]

Sorry just didn’t quite catch the website(…?) you mentioned that can be used to practice paper 1 style questions, do you mind typing it here?

[@rtwodrew2]

www.madasmaths.com/ find a pdf on a topic and scroll to the end for the hard ones

[@shreyasshrivastava]

could you please compile the hardest questions from each paper, in your opinion, into a single video?

[@hawadoh]

everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, just highlight the question you need to work on, jot them down somewhere and go through them

[@rtwodrew2]

This sounds kinda fun, I think I've tried to deliberately put most of them in the topic specific videos, I'll have a look over any I've missed

[@shepherd3974]

I'm going to barely finish the TMUA past papers, probably leaving me 2 days before TMUA. What should I do in the 2 days, redo the TMUA questions or start on something new like some MAT mcps?

[@rtwodrew2]

Have you made a list of questions that you didn't get but looked over after? I'd just do all the questions on that list again

[@shepherd3974]

@@rtwodrew2 thanks I’ll do that. Took a gap year and worked so I have so less time.

[@buk1733]

I have started revising way too late for these TMUA papers. It's been 2 weeks I was training. But I feel I'm so bad at them. I barely get 50% in the past papers when I time myself. Do you think I'm bound to fail and it's stupid to even try or should I keep going and training extra hard this last week?

[@hetmakadia3299]

Do the test! Unless your appying to Cambridge you get to chose if your unis see the result so you might aswell do it

[@maksedits933]

@@hetmakadia3299 I’m applying to Cambridge. It’s my dream University. How much % should I get to have some chance of being accepted?

[@solux9396]

@@maksedits933 I got told 70% so 28 out of 40 puts you in top 10% of applicants, so any score of 13 or 14 and above is very good

[@joesalmon9937]

@@maksedits933 I have read that a 6.5 and above is good, but I have heard of Cambridge applicants (to computer science) getting less than that.

[@hetmakadia3299]

​@@maksedits933 6.5 is usually a good score. But there are a lot of factors deciding if you get accepted or not so don't stress too much :)

[@solux9396]

As it uses yr1 a level maths and other bits, Is there point in going over those specifications again and using textbooks to solidfy theory, or should all focus be on TMUA qs?

[@rtwodrew2]

I'd think about looking over the TMUA spec and seeing if there's anything mentioned there that you think you need to practise. Looking over the A level year 1 spec has the problem that not all of that is in TMUA, for example you don't need vectors in TMUA. You can use the textbooks for anything in there that you want to practise. However, just be aware that not everything in the TMUA spec they actually seem to care about asking, for example circle theorems

[@karunk7050]

Good luck everybody! Anyone watching this channel instantly has 300 IQ so don’t worry too much ;)

[@dior1046]

I'm so scared lol

[@ericrodrigues1600]

what would you say is a good score in each paper?

[@neeldasgupta2441]

6.5+ in both papers (12-13/20) is good.

[@ggx8427]

What about spotting errors in proofs?

[@rtwodrew2]

I've tried making this but every mistake they've ever written is different, so the video didn't have any specific message
