Dreaded time of the year, exams are here! :sad:
I have my first biology paper (60 mins) tomorrow followed by my physical geography paper (90 mins) on Tuesday.
Actually feeling pretty confident for my bio, in mocks Ive got D > low C > high C so hopefully I can get a B in the real thing! Geog on the other hand, dayuuuuuum, even though its my favourite subject I just cant get the case studies around my head :'(
Good luck guys who have them!!!

Advice on Geo, make it up if you can't remember it like, as long as you can remember the basics of what happened and how bad it was, the figures don't really matter as long as they're in the right region

I have one Friday afternoon (Sociology) and one next month (English Language)...as much as I don't want to jinx it, I should get As :tongue: have done for my mocks, and I'm like 2-3 years older than everyone else there LOL

Ive been told this but Ill panic and make a place like 'penistown' up or something daft rofl. Might just forget about figs tbh, too many to learn off-by-hearf. What did you get Smithy? :)

I didn't exactly concentrate in sixth form and left with only one A Level. So I've gone to college to build up the other 2 (and some extras) :p
I've just got Economics, History & English, and I did well last year and on my coursework so I'm not as worried as a lot of people, as long as I dont mess them up badly I should get the grades I need
Have RE GCSE's this week then Science re-takes the month after, need to start revising!

My exams finish tomorrow.
They aren't GCSE's though - just ones that decide what GCSE level [Foundational or Higher] you go in.
Everyone is all 'Ahh I hate exams'.
But I love them sfm.
The days go so quicker, I just sit there with my iPod in listening to it on shuffle for 6 Hours straight - and then you get loads of days off to Study.
Exams FTW.

Nope, they search you for Phones and iPods.
But I have to go to a separate hall - for kids with disabilities and mental illnesses and that - and you do it there and they don't search you.
So I put my iPod earphone up my sleeve and my iPod in my shirt pocket - then I put my hand beside my ear and lean on the desk; which I always do anyway rofl.
So they don't suspect a thing. :love:
