Question: what difficulty level is triple science in university?

Triple science is the level that explains the start of what you are doing. I guess I’d say imagine the science you did in primary school, now imagine the science you do you. When you were in primary school, you couldn’t imagine doing what you do now. It’s the same at university – it’s more complicated, absolutely, but you surprise yourself in how doable it is when you’re around it all the time, rather than a few hours per week at max.

Physics at university is also more like advanced maths than it is physics in high school (something else which universities really dislike about physics courses in high school!).

EDIT: Also worth mentioning: I tried a GCSE triple science physics paper last year because I tutor from time to time. I barely passed. It’s not the kind of thing you can just do automatically!
