徐同学's Journey

I hadn't planned to take the TMUA at all — my college counsellor suggested it, saying that although Durham Economics doesn't require it, a good score significantly boosts competitiveness. Sceptical but encouraged by the reasonable self-study course price, I gave it a try.

David's video lessons were a pleasant surprise — only a few years older than me, he teaches from a student's perspective, sharing pitfalls from his own preparation that no textbook covers. He also weaves in study method tips, like 'don't just read the answer for wrong questions — write down your original incorrect reasoning too'.

After two months of self-study my mock went from 4.7 to 5.8, giving me the confidence to add the mock exam course. I worked through those 8 papers twice; accuracy improved dramatically on the second pass.

My final 7.1 earned an Unconditional Offer from Durham Economics. Looking back, that casual 'let me try' decision changed my entire life trajectory.
