Starting with... Misconceptions:

Speaking of mathematics, especially pure maths, most of the misconceptions come in two parts:

1. You must be very smart in order to study maths!
2. You must be very quick at mental calculations and/or pressing the calculator!

There are a lot of stereotypes about correlations in high IQ and studying maths because of different international maths competitions. 📖 For instance, most competitive schools have notoriously intensive and demanding training teams for the different Mathematics Olympiads for high school students.

Although maths competitions certainly help in problem-solving skills, they’re not a prerequisite for any mathematics degree! In reality, the challenging problems in Olympiads often require the sharpest minds in the country, and the stereotype that all maths undergraduates must be able to solve them is completely untrue. You don’t need to be an international Olympiad champion to strive for a maths degree at university. 🤓

Other than that, maths students are often regarded as “moving human calculators”. 👨‍💻 In a restaurant, for example, there’s sometimes the stereotype that the math students will be the ones splitting the bill and sorting out the change! Because “you’re quick at mental maths”, right? 🤔

Whilst you’ll likely be expected to do simple sums and percentages in your head, there are only a few maths undergraduates who can actually carry out complex mental calculations fast and accurately. Most students do their calculations and reasoning slowly and carefully!

Being able to reason your answer carefully and rigorously is a really important skill. At uni, the students who get the best grades often aren’t the ones who know the most, but the ones who are the most careful instead! 🔍

Also, it might surprise you that in a lot of maths exams at uni, students are not allowed to use a calculator! 🚫 There’s barely any pure numbers in exam questions, but there are lots of logical reasonings and proofs to complete.

How maths at uni differs from A Level/IB

Third-year students often get the chance to undertake an independent project under the supervision of a professor! 🎓 There’s full flexibility over the topic you choose, unlike in secondary school, where essay topics are set in stone by your teachers. This is similar to the Individual Assessment (IA) in IB, but of course, you can have more freedom, and even more extensive research on your project!

The most exciting part of all

A lot of maths students enjoy the constant problem-solving that a degree course offers! 🧩 Students are highly encouraged to practice and challenge themselves at different problems every day, so you’re able to do a lot of exploration in the vast sea of mathematics. 🌊

Moreover, being a maths student means that there are lots of opportunities to collaborate on projects with other students, who usually then become friends! 👯Most unis offer a group project / individual project “taster” unit in the first year where you’ll explore foundational topics in further depth. This could include differential equations, complex numbers, and probability & combinatorics. 📝

What jobs lie in waiting after a maths degree

Maths students go on to do a range of jobs, including becoming:

• Quantitative Financial Analysts: You'll use statistical formulas to assess risk by looking at life expectancies, damage reports and industry trends. 📈
• Technology/Data Analysts: You’ll provide data insights through clear visual, written and verbal communication by using statistical tools. 💬
• Accountants: You’ll give financial advice, audit accounts and provide trustworthy information about records. 💸
• Software Developers: You’ll code, debug and explore computer programs! 🖥️
• E-Commerce Managers: You’ll guide and support clients & colleagues so they can make sound business decisions.

Of course, there are also students who pursue further studies such as PhD degrees in order to become a researcher, lecturer, or even a professor! 👩🏾‍🏫

You don't need to become a teacher afterwardss

One major misconception is that it’s common for mathematicians to become secondary school teachers! 📎 Having a maths degree doesn’t make it significantly easier or harder to get into the education industry - you still have to do a PGCE/PGDE (Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma in Education) if you want to be a qualified teacher in the UK (at a state school). 📜

Are there other ways into these careers?

You can enter into a banking/finance/consultancy role with virtually any degree, although a more quantitative degree (such as maths) helps. For software and technology sectors, students can also start by self-learning different front-end and back-end programming languages & styles without the need for any degree. 💻 If you have the ability to think abstractly, the tasks in these jobs shouldn’t be too difficult for you!

What jobs skills does maths at university teach you

Maths students learn about advanced maths methods, which can then be applied to almost any STEM career with ease! 🔬 For example, different inference and statistical techniques will help a lot during market research in the finance sector. 🕵️

The ability to reason abstractly and argue logically also means that maths students can absorb industry knowledge more quickly compared to other non-STEM students! 💡

What you might do instead of maths

If, like many students, you’re confident in your problem-solving skills, but don’t have a knack for maths or an interest in writing mathematical arguments, a degree in Computer Science is an excellent alternative! 💻 Computer Science requires less maths, but emphasises practical puzzles and systematic thinking which help to ignite your maths skills. 🔑

University maths can sometimes be a little bit alien to new first-year students, especially with the amount of symbols and signs! 👾 In this case, a more practical STEM subject, such as Physics, Chemistry or Engineering could be a better bet than a highly theoretical pure mathematics degree. ⚗️

A combined degree is also a viable choice if you want to study another subject in-depth, or you just can’t make up your mind between two of your favourite subjects. Common choices are Mathematics and Physics, Computer Science, Economics or Philosophy (this is a little bit surprising, but due to their underlying principles of logical reasoning, maths and philosophy actually go really well together!). 🧠

What to do if you don't have the right subjects/grades to apply

One of the biggest worries for students who are planning to study at a prestigious university is whether or not they have to do A-Level Further Mathematics (FM). 🤯 Some universities, such as Cambridge and Imperial, require you to take Further Maths if your school offers it, so check uni admissions criteria first! 🚨 If your school doesn’t offer it, you’re still encouraged to apply but be sure to ask your teacher to clearly indicate this on your UCAS application form. 💪

If FM isn’t outright required, your decision depends on whether STEP (the admission test, explained later) is required in your conditional offer! If yes, it’s recommended that you take FM as a lot of the course content is required for STEP questions. 💯

If you’re not required to take STEP, it’s really up to your preferences whether you want to study FM in school or not. If you choose not to, you should still self-learn some advanced math that interests you! The simplest way to get started is to borrow a maths textbook from the library and try to complete some exercises. 📚

Needless to say, it requires a lot of determination and hard work if you want to self-learn, and it takes up a lot of your revision time too! ⏰ But in return, you’ll have a much deeper understanding about different mathematical tools and be well prepared for the self-teaching style of universities! 🤩

If you are confident, try the STEP past papers and see how many answers you can get right. Doing well in STEP may lower your entry requirements at some unis, so it’s definitely still worth looking into, even if it isn’t required! 💡

A couple of words of warning

🚫 DON’T BE ARROGANT! Sentences like “I understood calculus since I was 4” have no meaning unless that inspires you to think about something deeper about mathematics. Admissions officers want to know what you’re currently interested in and inspired by - what drives you today? Show that you are a detailed and goal-oriented person, without explicitly stating you are! 🔥

DON’T JUST SEARCH THE MOST DIFFICULT PROBLEMS IN MATHEMATICS AND SIMPLY SAY YOU ASPIRE TO SOLVE THEM! 🙄 This may seem oddly specific, but a lot of candidates talk about wanting to solve the Riemann Hypothesis or the Millenium Hardest Math Problems. If anything, this just shows that you don’t understand the prerequisites of the problems! If you’re mentioning a difficult problem in your personal statement, focus on the steps required, the solution’s implications and what you learnt from your research. Don’t get carried away by your own fantasies! 🔮

Admissions Tests & Interviews

There are 3 admissions tests that are required/beneficial when applying for a prestigious university:

• MAT (Mathematics Admission Test)
• TMUA (Test of Mathematics for University Application)
• STEP (Sixth Term Examination Paper),

STEP is known to be tricky! 🥴 It's used for entry to maths degrees and has 2 papers (STEP 2 and STEP 3, STEP 1 is cancelled starting from 2021), both of which require A-Level FURTHER Mathematics knowledge. In both papers, you choose 6 questions to answer out of 13 in the course of 3 hours, so play to your strengths! 💎 It’s used in applications for Cambridge (it is a must for maths!), Imperial, UCL, Warwick etc.

MAT is used for admission for Mathematics degrees AND joint hours Maths degrees. You’ll need to answer 5 questions according to the degree that you’re applying for, so read the instructions carefully. 👀 The paper is primarily focused on AS Level Mathematics (with a bit of early A-level content - check the syllabus) but this doesn’t mean that the questions are easy! This non-calculator paper challenges your understanding in the most fundamental way and requires you to carry out manipulation smartly and accurately. 🤓 It’s used in applications for Oxford (compulsory), Imperial and Warwick.

TMUA is for those who are pursuing mathematics, joint honours Maths, Computer Science 🖥️ and other related subjects. The first paper is focused on AS Level Mathematics, but uses a minor number of math terms that you may not have heard of before - check the spec! The second paper can also ask you questions from the “Logic & Proof” topic which most students haven’t studied before - there are full notes on this on the Cambridge TMUA website. 🏛️ Both papers are multiple-choice, non-calculator and usually sat back-to-back. It’s used for entry to Computer Science at Cambridge, but also for Maths at Bath, Cardiff, Durham etc.

When it comes to prep, start as early as you can! Most students start studying at the start of their year 12 -> 13 summer holiday 🏖️, but the earlier the better. The MAT test questions in particular can really help you with your math skills, so attempt as many questions as possible, even if you decide not to apply for the official test in June! 🌟

Good luck with your application, and if you have any questions about maths at uni just get in touch!

Hi everyone, I’m Robyn from EasyA. I’m currently doing my postgrad in International Business at the University of Liverpool and I want to share with you some tips on how to cope with exam anxiety all year-round. As I’m sure many of you know, exam season can be very stressful and is often seen as a time for students to panic and overwhelm themselves with school work, or sometimes even just put off studying to the last minute and start procrastinating.

Tip 1: Start studying early

You may be thinking ‘but what if it’s too early?’ or ‘no, I’ve got loads of time to study’. This is exactly what I thought when I started my A-Levels. I had received advice that I should start revising pretty much at the start of the academic year. Needless to say, I didn’t like the idea so I didn’t do it. But you never know just how much revision you need to do, or how many times you’ll need to go over it to understand it. I didn’t leave studying to the last minute, but any extra time you can make to start as early as you can will always be valuable and take a lot of stress off exam season. This will also help combat that blasted last-minute cram for exams! You can still enjoy down time, just take 30 minutes each evening to go over your school lessons and as you get closer to sitting the exams, take more time to revise how you find it best to.

Tip 2: Do something that you love

If you overwhelm yourself with studying and the feelings of panic and stress, you are likely to not be able to get anything done because you’re so focused on the negatives of exam season. Remember to make time to do something for yourself to recharge. Set a timer in the breaks you have between studying to do something that relaxes you. Sit in your garden, take your dog for a short walk, read a few pages of that new book you just bought. By the time the timer goes off and you need to get back to studying, you will have a much calmer mindset and may be able to see the answer to the question you are studying from a different angle.

Tip 3: Find an outlet for studying frustrations

I think I speak for a lot of students when I say we can quite easily become very frustrated when studying for exams. If you don’t understand a question and have nobody around who can help you, you may be very likely to just skip that question altogether and leave not understanding how to complete it. If you come across a question like this and can feel yourself getting annoyed, try finding a way to work off that feeling. Many people will go out running, or even find a sport they can use to help relieve that stress, and just like I mentioned in the previous step, you may be able to approach that difficult question from a different angle after looking it over again.

Tip 4: Create a revision timetable

A great way to minimize exam stress and anxiety is to create a schedule that helps you keep organized. Divide your day up into multiple sections and prioritise the subjects that have the exams with the closest dates. If you can break down the revision into chunks over each day, it won’t look like such a monumental task to study. This way, you can approach it with a calmer mindset. Make sure you tick off what you have done each day - this will help you feel like you have been productive (which, in my opinion, is an amazing feeling!). Remember not to overwhelm yourself with unrealistic expectations though. Find a reasonable amount of subjects to revise effectively each day and don’t add to it, otherwise you may put too much pressure on yourself and lose motivation again.

Tip 5: If you are struggling, talk to someone

This is probably the most important piece of advice to give to a student. Often, we can feel like we’ve reached the point of burn out and find it very difficult to stay motivated. We may ultimately feel like giving up and think ‘there’s no point in me doing revision, I’m just going to fail anyway’. I’ve felt this before and it’s very disheartening. But there are people out there who have the ability to help you. Reach out to your teachers, the school nurse, or even a family member. I guarantee that they will understand how you feel. Nobody who has gone all the way through education has finished it without sitting at least one exam, so they will either be able to advise you directly or point you to someone with the skills and knowledge to help.

If you have any other tips on how to cope with exam stress and anxiety, please do share them with your fellow students. Let’s create a community of caring individuals and help each other learn how to de-stress in difficult times.

Don’t forget to check out our other blog posts while you're here. We also have another blog about student mindfulness, so do give that a read when you can!

Good luck!

One of the hardest things about going from school to university is that you are on your own when it comes to time management - no bells ring out in student accommodation or lecture theatres to tell you that it's time to move to your next class. Here are some of my tips for managing your time, whether you’re at university, sixth form, or school, so that you can get top marks and optimise your studying.

To do...

They are probably the most basic kind of time management, but they are so effective and the best way to keep track of all your tasks. Be reasonable about what you can achieve in a day, and maybe only set yourself 1 extra task to complete if you have the time. I always find that when I can see what I need to do, it is easier to plan some time to get it done.

Time blocking

This method includes blocking out spaces of time in your day to do your revision or work, and blocks of time for relaxing or going out with friends. For example, you could block out from 4pm-6pm to get some revision done after school, and then have from 6pm onwards to relax, watch a movie or read a book. Blocking out the time also helps you get a balance of study and time to yourself that will stop you from burning out further down the line.

Get a diary

This is probably my biggest tip for university, but it also applies for school and sixth form too. Online calendars are great, and really helpful for keeping track of your appointments, meetings, and classes, but, for me, nothing beats actually writing down what I have to do in a certain day and ensuring you don’t miss anything. It is also super satisfying to tick off your tasks, and you are always able to see what is happening in the next few days! (Also a brilliant way to be a better friend and never forget a birthday again…)

Keep an eye on the clock

This doesn’t mean having your eyes glued to your watch at all times, but having a clock on your desk or workspace to remind you of the time is really helpful, especially if you suffer from chronic lateness!

‘Urgent' v 'Important'

A key aspect of time management is being able to split your tasks into different categories, and the best way to do this is to designate your tasks as ‘urgent’ or ‘important’. If a task is both urgent and important, it should take priority and you should try and get it done and sorted first. For example, if I needed to phone the doctors (important) but I had homework due for my class in 10 minutes (urgent, and important too!), I should prioritise my homework and then phone the doctors when I have the time - the doctor isn’t going anywhere, but my homework has a time limit!

If you struggle to decide, try numbering your tasks based on what needs to be done by when. A presentation due at 10am will take priority over another task due at 10pm, and so you can number them as such - I find this much more achievable and it is nice to have a countdown to your day being complete!

‘Tidy space, tidy mind’

I know this will probably just sound like your mum nagging you, but working in a tidy space is almost guaranteed to help you be more productive. Instead of wasting time on clearing your desk, if you took 5 minutes a day to keep your workspace tidy and neat, you will save SO much time in the long term - which you can put towards revising for exams or something else you love!

Task lengths

When writing your assignments on your to-do list, have a think about how long they might take. An essay may take longer than a problem sheet, or you might find that you need to put some extra work and time into Religious Studies than into Maths. Write an estimate of how much time you need to spend on each piece of work next to them on the list, and make sure you aren’t overloading yourself.

Knowing how much time you need to dedicate to each task will help you slot the tasks into your day, and, you can pair this with time blocking to really get on top of your time management!

Defence against distractions

I know that it can be hard to not get distracted, especially with laptops and phones pinging, noisy houses, and the TV luring you back to Netflix, but to be on top of your time you need to be able to defend yourself from these pesky distractions. Try putting your phone on silent, or setting a timer for an hour - after this timer goes off, you can check your messages or have a browse through social media for a while before cracking back on with your work. Having a set time when you will leave your work and have a break is great motivation, as well as helping you combat the urge to leave your desk and stay on task.

Treat yourself

You can’t spend all day sitting at your desk working - even though you might think that a 16 hour study day makes you seem ‘super productive’ and is the only route to top grades, you will soon find that you will burnout and exhaust yourself. Make sure when you are organising and planning your day that you have some time to hang out with friends, or to do something you love. Your academics should fit around your life, not become your life! Even in my busiest days at university, I always make sure that I schedule an hour to have dinner with friends, an hour to go for a coffee and get some fresh air, and some time in the evening to watch some TV and wind down.

Relax

Sometimes we can’t do everything - and that’s ok! Learning how to prioritise responsibilities and to manage your calendar is a skill that you will hone and develop throughout your exam years, university, and even into your working life. Don’t beat yourself up because you missed something, or if hanging out with friends after school ate into your ‘essay time’. Learning to manage stress and juggle responsibilities is what school and sixth form are there for, and are skills that your GCSEs and A Levels teach you along with all the content you learn.

Hi everyone, it’s Robyn from EasyA here. As I’ve been going through my postgraduate degree this past year, I have found that certain things have definitely helped me feel more motivated when studying. You can check out our blog post on motivation and procrastination on our website for more details. For this post, I want to share with you some ways you can make sure your study area or desk space keeps you motivated to study and helps the time you spend there feel less negative and daunting.

DO: If you can, have your desk facing a window

This first tip is actually a very simple one, but of course, only do it if you have the space and means for it. I used to have my desk facing a wall at the opposite side of my room, and though this enabled me to create revision posters to stick to the wall in front of my desk, it started to feel a bit like a prison cell. Now, I’ve moved my desk to overlook my window so the (rare) sunshine can flow in and brighten up my study time! (Literally!)

DON’T: Flood your study space with too much information

Now, I know this tip will not be for everyone, especially if you revise better with posters and resources all around you. Since moving my desk over to my window, I don’t have the space to stick posters up and I think this has worked better for me. With a huge amount of information, it can bring the feeling of being overwhelmed and therefore students will dread entering their study area. If you are someone who needs resources like posters, keep the amount you create limited and also keep them in areas where you know you will constantly be looking or passing by and will be more likely to see.

DO: Keep something unrelated to education in your study space

This is something I have always made sure to do. If you have an item that is completely unrelated to education and studying, you gain space away from reminders of exams and coursework, to breathe and smile. This item could be a photo of your family or you with a close friend. It could even be a model of a fictional character you love or just something that represents a memory you hold dear that you can’t help smiling at. If you keep something like this on your desk, it can make the whole experience of studying much more positive. Personally, I would alsos limit these items to just one or two on your desk/study space as too many could end up distracting you from the real purpose of why they are there: to make you snile and give an extra push of motivation.

DON’T: clutter your desk with too many things

There is a reason you have this study space - to study. You need the room to actually go about doing this and not over-clutter your desk with notebooks and stationary. Try to keep everything organised in containers so you know where everything is and don’t get panicked when you can’t find a particular book for an exam you have next week for example. Have one container for your stationary (i.e. rulers, flashcards, post-its, staplers, highlighters, etc), another for pens and pencils, and another area to keep subject books and files

DO: keep a to do list in sight

Something I have found incredibly useful as a student - as well as for work - is to create daily or weekly to do lists and keep them at my desk in plain sight - somewhere I am likely to look many times and remind myself of the things I have to do. This is such a good habit to get into if you want to improve your productivity and time management, and if you keep it in your study area/desk space where all of your important work and education resources are, you will more likely be able to remember your tasks and get everything done.

I hope these tips have been helpful, whether you already have your study space but need advice on how to keep it organised or you’re starting your GCSEs and don’t know how to create an area that actually motivates you and makes studying at least a little bit less stressful.

Starting university is a big change - it can feel like a step up from college and high school. Living away from home for the first time can feel quite daunting, along with the pressure of meeting new friends and tackling a new way of learning. No need to worry - we’re here to give you our top tips for starting university on the right foot. Let’s break it down…

Explore your campus and local city

Living away from home can be intimidating. In the first few days, you’ll have fewer commitments and classes scheduled. Take advantage of your free time and get to know your campus. Invite your flatmates on a walk around campus and get familiar with the grounds. Find out where your classes will be in advance so you don’t get lost on your first day. Go on a shopping trip or bar crawl in your local town centre. Getting to know your local area will boost your confidence and help your university feel like a home away from home.

Take control of your education from the get-go

University differs from high school and college in many ways, but a key difference is how you are taught and expected to learn. There are no longer teachers planning out revision sessions for you, or chasing you up to do your homework on time. Your learning becomes your responsibility - and yours alone.

You’re likely to have fewer contact hours and face to face classes - but that doesn’t mean the learning stops there. You’ll be expected to study in your own time, for both future exams and coursework. It’s entirely up to you what, when and where you study. Get yourself into a routine early - make sure you have the necessary books and stationery, and find out what works best for you. Maybe you’re a night owl and prefer working from home late at night, or maybe you’ll prefer to study with friends in the library between lectures. Either way - the earlier you can find your feet and establish your own studying routine, the better.

Put yourself out there

University isn’t just about education. It’s about the experiences you have and the friends you make throughout your course. Take advantage of freshers week - get to know your flatmates, coursemates and neighbouring flats and sign up for societies. In the first year, everybody is in the same boat and eager to make friends. Trying new hobbies and meeting new people is a great way to find your feet at university and make memories that you’ll treasure forever.

Get to know your department

Getting to know your subject department is a great way to make meaningful connections in your chosen field. Having a good relationship with your lecturers also means you’ll feel more comfortable asking for help if you’re struggling with a particular piece of work, or need advice in future. Don’t be afraid to take advantage of your lecturer’s office hours, or to take on volunteer or work opportunities within your department. It’s a wonderful way to feel at home within your subject department.

Those are our top four tips for starting university on the right foot. It’s good to be prepared! For anyone starting university in 2021, we wish you the best of luck! We hope you have a wonderful university experience and make some amazing memories.
