Spanish Listening thoughts?? Everyone in my class thought it was far more difficult than other past papers we had done... I'd always be getting at least 35/40 in them, but i'm sure i've only got around 28 max. In our exam on friday! 😭
I'm so glad I've finally found this! What exams have you got next week? I have
Geography unit 1,Business Studies unit 1 and T3 maths.

I'm so scared of Running out of time after my Biology exam last Tuesday😁

Apparently for an A+ you need to write about 3 A4 sides with good punctuation and paragraphing...

I sat all those last year exams except Geography, good luck. For Business I highly HIGHLY recommend just knowing everything in the textbook :smile:
Yeah. Some people in my year have 5 this week so I guess I can't complain

I was unbelievably happy with prejudice!! Quite a good extract too
I'm doing An Inspector Calls and Poetry Anthology Nature and War on Friday, how about you?
Did anyone do ICT or French last week? The French listening was a bit tricky- especially the last question, but I thought the ICT paper was okay

I did French and ICT! Some of the listening stumped me but I found the last question okay, and ICT was just long haha- so many 6 markers!

Yes oh my the amount of 6 markers! the only things I really didn't know were what macros are, and what an actuator is. The rest was okay- that girl spending over £1000 on a party though ahahhah

I only knew actuator because of Technology, no idea what a macro is though lol. £1000 AND she still managed to go over budget :laugh::laugh:
