Well, it is aimed at the top 5%, and it's not supposed to be easy.
You only need to answer 6 at the very most, and you only need to do 4 well (you don't even have to get the right answer, just show a logical progression of thoughts and be on your way to getting the answer.)
IIRC they have...
Yeah, a 1 grade is enough, some people occasionally get in with 2 grades if the interviewers liked them enough.
Nar, multivariable calculus is not usually touched on, in the core of our A-levels we must go at least as far as first order differential equations if they take the ordinary maths...
I think you do but I'm not sure seeing as you're an international student, but all UK students HAVE to take it, as Cambridge are unable to differentiate between those with A's at A level and the very best Mathematicians, it's aimed at the top 5%.

They are all very different, but yet the same.
You'll get the same level of education from any college you go to, but the "feel" of the college will be different to the next, with many being large and impersonal but with lots to do, to others being a lot smaller. However Trinity has the...

He also said that any part of a personal statement that...
A Gonville and Caius admissions tutor told my Physics teacher they care nought about extra-curricular activities, they just want the best minds.

In England (Where the A-level grades are standardised across the whole of the country) it goes like this:
80-100% A
70-79% B

She did say, though, that it had it's perks ;)
To which I responded "I bet you're everybody's best friend, aren't you."
To which she responded to by walking away...
Condensed matter physics.
Yeah, I've heard Durham is good for HEP, I believe they've just built a pretty good particle accelerator in an old coal mine.
If you assumed he meant the UK why was your answer solely about Scotland?
Both of our responses were on England, Wales, and Northern Ireland; the UK, minus Scotland of course.
