C2 maths

Just realised i did no work in maths since we started C2, and i cant even answer the questions in the paper, ah well, i just gotta work in the next 3 weeks and hope for it to go well


Ah that's not good. I've been doing work but not getting good scores. The mock I just did at college I got 28/75 :frown: which was an E.

What exam board are you on?

Which one are you most worried about?

:cookie:


as of this year maths because we are sitting the AS, but overall, all subjects (maths, chemistry and biology).
Absolutely no doubt that my AS Philosophy (not Philos & Ethics) will be the hardest, and that's even moreso than my German exam :/

To give an indication; last year on the exam you could drop 23 marks out of 80 and still get an A grade, because it is so ****ing hard to get high marks. About 70% then is an A, which is normally a B in most other subjects. We did a mock in class the other week and out of 15 people only I managed to achieve the A, yet I still dropped 16 marks - I'm sure most people's average grade was around E/D.

German's gonna be hard ofc but philosophy my god, if I have a difficult question come up then that's literally the end.
PHY2 new spec

Right, and is that just in Paper 2?
If you flick to the back of multiple textbooks, you'll find a small amount on the topic... then you can try and piece things together :smile:
I don't know how exactly to prepare for the Paper 2... how are you preparing?


i checked the specification and unless im wrong, in AS its 15% of paper 2. for A2 i think it's 20% of paper 3 but that's very likely wrong.

im preparing by trying a set of exam questions, then correcting them and try to see where i went wrong, then re-do the question. it's better than my tactic for all my GCSE's where it was just read the textbook and remember everything, worked for them.... NOT my AS mocks XD

Probably any paper from the new specs in AS physics, chemistry or biology (less for biology though) as genuinely anything could come up that we are not prepared for :cry:

real talk man them exams are getting man bugged up.
Since OCR is a dodgy exam board, I worry about both Biology and Physics
and maybe C4 if Edexcel wants to join in making students fail lol

Probably AQA Unit 3 Economics. I feel like they'll be some sneaky questions in there.

I'm doing AS but the reformed biology will be satanic and 100% harder than the spec paper I bet
