郑同学's Journey

3.0 — that was my first TMUA mock score. With only three and a half months until the exam, reaching LSE's requirements for Maths & Economics felt impossible. But I refused to abandon my dream, so I enrolled in the VIP Guaranteed programme as a final gamble.

Dr. Chen's words after reviewing my diagnosis stuck with me: 'Three and a half months is enough — the key is getting the direction right.' He built an incredibly detailed plan specifying exactly what to study and practise each day. The first two months focused on fundamentals: 3 hours of 1-on-1 daily plus 2 hours of independent practice. The final six weeks were pure exam drilling with mock tests every other day.

Exhausting — I nearly quit several times, but Dr. Chen and Ms. Wang kept encouraging me. Ms. Wang even volunteered extra time to help me shore up calculus fundamentals.

I scored 6.2, just below the guaranteed 6.5 threshold, yet TMUA Elite still partially refunded my fees — their integrity deeply moved me. Even more wonderfully, LSE gave me an offer! This experience taught me: with the right direction and enough effort, even the lowest starting point can produce miracles.
