DSQ
gollark: You should definitely further maths, regular maths does not even have matrices or complex numbers.
gollark: Also, because of ridiculous timings, you have to apply *before* having A-level grades, then do A-levels and hope you get the grades they required in their offer.
gollark: Since lots of people's grades are just capped at A\*A\*A*, universities select on personal statements and extra tests.
gollark: Cambridge's accursed maths exam.
gollark: Universities require predicted grades, which is intensely æ.
