I did 7.5 hours of piano practice - and made a breakthrough with a piece I've been stuck on for a couple of months.

Tom, you are addicted! I'm surprised you don't strain something playing for such a long time. Is your right hand completely better now then?

Well done with the breakthrough. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Today keeps on getting better and better!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have an offer from Warwick! I don't particularly want to go there, but it's nice to know I'm wanted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'm slightly confused by the offer though. It says the offer is restricted to exams taken in 2008 and 2009, which is fair enough, only I took my maths A level exams in 2006 and 2007 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif), so I'm not quite sure how that's going to work.

What is the offer, Sarah? It sounds very strange!

It says:

Obtain grade AA at A-Level in Mathematics and Further Mathematics, obtain grade B in one additional A-Level subject and obtain grade B in one further subject EITHER at AS-Level OR A-Level. Also obtain 2/Merit in a Maths STEP/AEA paper. This offer is restricted to examinations taken in 2008 and 2009 and excludes General Studies and Critical Thinking.

The roman soldiers in our forthcoming nativity play have finally learnt to march. After drilling them for nearly an hour up and down the school corridor they actually look like a military unit.

That's odd, as presumably you told them you'd already done Maths A-level? It's probably just a standard offer that goes on all letters, but if you think you might want to use them as first or insurance choice it might be best to e-mail or ring them and check.

It strikes me that it's easier to get a merit in AEA than a 2 in STEP, but these offers are always a bit random. When we went to their offerholders open day in February Warwick made it clear that they aim to be the obvious second choice for everyone trying for Cambridge, so their course should be challenging. On the other hand, you'd have to be very sure you'd get a grade 2 to make them insurance choice!

I think anyone who puts Warwick as their insurance choice is slightly mad! I had a quick look at their website for a suitable email address, but couldn't find one. I'll have a better look if it starts to look like I'm going to choose them.

Yes, I think they've shot themselves in the foot this year if that's what they want. Last year their alternative offer was four A grades at A-level, which for many people is much easier to get than a level 2 in STEP. I expect they might get put first by people who've missed out on an Oxbridge offer though.
