How many exams does everyone have left? I have 12!

9. Including a Unit 1 Physics and Chemistry repeat. I got two B's last year and wasn't satisfied.

Looking through Unit 1 Physics now is like looking through stuff I did in P6. I put my entire focus on Biology for some unknown reason. Came out with an A* though so not too bad.

Also, Unit 2 Triple award Quantitative Chemistry topic please kill me

It's nice to know but I don't think it's necessary, however considering the gap between OT and NT teaching I would recommend that you know which one of the two a quote is from. :smile:

Are they not just the uniform marks rather than raw marks you need to get for a grade?

So, uh, everyone excited for English Language and RE tomorrow? I can't even do this anymore...
I have six exams this week. History today, English and RE tomorrow, Geography on Wednesday and Biology + Business Studies on Friday. I don't know why CCEA hate me.
Anyway, I'm currently trying my hardest to memorize RE content, arguments for and against and Bible verses. Then I go and have a look at a past paper and.... I can't even. The questions are worded in such a way that I don't even have an idea of what knowledge I'm supposed to bring in to use. It's freaking me out.
I never did good at RE and I'm kinda (scratch that, incredibly) worried about RE. I never seem to write enough. Especially for the 10 markers. Always the 10 markers.
Any tips? Any RE aficionados? Help?
