Now, you need a strategy. Never go alone. You need a team: the Scout (fast legs), the Diplomat (big smile, lies to the cashier), and the Swallower (eats everything so you don’t have to).

Pro tip: Print out ten copies of your results. The barcode on the UCAS portal degrades after four scans.

And then there’s Bubble Tea Heaven. They are offering a free “Grade A” pearly drink if your result is a palindrome. What does that mean? I have no clue. But if your score is 1221, you are legally entitled to a free beverage. The rules are arbitrary, wonderful, and designed to confuse you into a sugar coma.
