Which is better Oxford or Cambridge university?

Oxford and Cambridge are practically the same in terms of academic acheivement: you can see this in league tables in which they're constantly battling over 1st, often separated only by negligible amounts.

So, when choosing whether to apply to Oxford or Cambridge, try to focus of other questions such as: Which University offers my course? Which course do I prefer? Which University do I feel more at home at? What extra-curricular activities are available at each University? etc.

Take some friendly advice from an Oxford graduate: pick the one which you think is prettiest. All colleges have good and bad points; you'll learn to live with the bad, and you will love the good. Clare is a particularly pretty Cambridge College; University is a particularly pretty Oxford College.

How old is Cambridge?

There is nothing wrong with staying around and watching your children at kindergarten to make sure they are doing well, especially first starting out at kindergarten. Teachers will also welcome the occasional helpful parent in the classroom. However, be aware that if you linger too much you will interfere with the classroom and your children's ability to focus on school and adapt to classroom life.

You would like to find a good a-level school that can get you into Cambridge University?

Try to find a school with a good track record of getting people into Oxford and Cambridge. You might also contact an unpretentious college at Cambridge and ask which schools recent entrants have come from. Contact the Admissions Tutor. (Avoid Trinity College and St John's. Try somewhere like St. Catherine's, Emmanuel, Sidney Sussex to start with). Hills Road Sixth Form College, Cambridge is also a school which is excellent at getting students into Oxbridge. It is also a state run sixth form, so free.

Note that the Class Lists (BA Finals results lists) at Oxford and Cambridge include the schools and Colleges.

What does 'the programming series of classes does not comply with the Carnegie system of credit measurement' mean?

The Carnegie system awards 1 credit per 50 or 55 minute class session per week over the course of a semester. I assume the statement means there is more (or less) class time required for the programming courses. It may be that the courses are "stacked" or offered in another alternative delivery format. To be sure, ask the program representative.

What is construction area and built up area?

Depending on the regulatory law in your location (Counrty/State/City) this may vary. Where I am from, the construction area can have two meanings:

1. The common: An area where construction work is being commenced

2 Technical (depending on regulatory law and how it defines it): The horizontal area that can be constructed.

Built-up area:

1. Common: An area that is built (in some countries, nothing is considered built unless cement/bricks are used)

2. Technical: The total contsructed Area, horizontal and vertical in meter/feet square.

Example (regarding Technical meanings):

a land lot of 1,000 m.sq. that falls into, let's say Zone A, where Zone A allows 60% construction area, will then have: 600 m.sq construction area, (let's say 3 floors were built, all 3 of 600m.sq) with a total built-up area of 1,800 m.sq.

Does the holley 4160 have two air-fuel ratio screws?

Yes, it should. They are located on the lower front section of the carburator. These screws will only adjust the air/fuel ratio at idle. *On a holley 4160 vaccum secondary carb, the mixture screws are on the front metering block on each side. The transition slot to throttle blade relationship has to set/corrected before the mixture screws will be effective.

How do you pass mathematics o levels paper?

O-Levels is very hard to pass compared to N-levels and every year there's only about 50% of students in Secondary 5 successfully made it to Poly or JC. The rest of the 50% goes to ITE.. It's gonna be like a waste of 1 year in sec5 if they didn't made it.

Especially in math, it's considered much harder and complicated than most other subjects, Math is hard to pass so practice or finding yourself a tutor may help eliminate this from happening..

Cambridge was founded in 1209 (it is celebrating its 800th anniversary in 2009). Oxford was founded a little bit earlier though the exact date is unknown. Cambridge was founded by faculty from Oxford who realised they could do better and left.
