Hi, I’m an American student in 11th grade (year 12 I think) and I’m hoping to enter the University of Manchester in 2027 for astrophysics. I am worried however as it seems more and more likely that I will have to take a foundation year. I kind of either have to fit in all my requirements into my final year of high school (year 13) which would be like 7 university level classes or just take the foundation year at Manchester.

Is there any stigma surrounding the foundation year? I’m worried about feeling out of place or something. Are you considered as being in university as a foundation year student or is it like a grey area? Any advice from current/previous foundation year students or general UK uni students would be greatly appreciated!

i’ve literally never posted on reddit before but i need help so much

on ap physics frqs i score like 35/40 and do consistently pretty well but on the mcqs i get like 15-20/40 and idk what to do

i know the concepts and everything its just the format and stuff i feel like i cant grasp

does anyone have any advice or tips on how to get better on the mcqs? am i able to improve to a 30+ before the exam which is next wednesday?
