General Studies

[Smithy]

I have an exam in general studies tomorrow (:sad:) I imagine some other people do to. But I have no idea how the hell you're meant to revise for it, or even whats on it, our teachers haven't told us anything :bored:


Can anyone whose done one in the past explain wtf it actually is :D

[Chels]

[MojoNixon]

[Smithy]

We haven't had lessons on it :bored: It's just a compulsory exam we have to take

A big part of that exam is on the history of Crawley Town Football Club, good luck.

Why the **** are you worrying than if you have had no lessons on it your hardly gonna get really good marks are you

I HOPE YOU FAIL WITH DIGNITY

[Shasown]

Google Sun Tzu, Wellington, MacArthur, Eumenes of Cardia, Rommel, Lusius Quietus, Montgomery, Slim, Lysander Ulysees S Grant and Robert E Lee.

[Niamh.]

never heard of it but I'd imagine if you've had no lessons on it and have not been told anything about it then you can't/not expected to study for it

[Smithy]

Why the **** are you worrying than if you have had no lessons on it your hardly gonna get really good marks are you?

You have been educated.

24 hours before an exam might just be a tad late to start srevising let alone studying.

ok i have done this exam, didnt revise and got an A, honestly it not something you can revise for, just go in and use common sense. Alot of the questions are just pure common sense.

hope this helps

Oh i thought you were doing A-Levels :joker:

I didnt revise at all and didnt take it that seriously but got a B for AS. I'm carrying on with it this year because a couple of my Uni choices accept it and I might not get the B I need in Economics but the teacher even told us that there's no way they can fully tell us what might be on the paper, they dont have a clue basically and can only cover a few vague topics in little detail. I wouldnt worry too much about it, but topics like Utilitarianism, Society, the role of the State, Religion etc. are the ones that may crop up

I still don't know what it means :(

I don't think I can even say it :bawling:

:laugh:

We didnt get taught what it was at all and then it ended up being in the exam and worth a load of marks. I dont know if you need to know but it just basically means doing the greatest good for the greatest number of people I think

[Smithy]

Ohh ok :hugesmile:

thanks

I went to a total of 4 lessons of General Studies for the whole year in year 12, I had no revision notes for the exam and didn't know what the fudge it was even about and came out with a D.

A lot of it is multiple choice and common sense, and the rest I just rambled on writing as if I knew what I was talking about and it seemed to work lol.

how i feel all the time hehehe


but yeah never heard of the exam :(

[KG.]

D:

You wouldn't be happy with a D after only attending 4 lessons..?

Anyway, the majority of universities don't take UCAS points earned from General Studies or Critical Thinking so it's a bit of waste of time really unless your course does take it into consideration.

50% of the exam was on Big Brother

OMG LOL that'd be my idea of heaven. I'm sure it'd be Patrick's too :joker:

What BB questions were there?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

OMFG i would be epic @ a BB exam

[Smithy]

lmao

It wasn't like specific things that happened during BB, but it was like multichoice about peoples arguments for and against blah blah blah, but anyway, I think watching it helped quite a bit.

So yea :')
