I found the Edexcel AS quite challenging, and I didn't do much revision yet got 94/100 and 90/100, with 100/100 in the coursework, so ended up with 284/300. I'm chuffed. yet annoyed as i'm giving it up, and wished that had been my history mark instead.

I got an A somehow! I was on a B last year but after resitting both AS exam units and somehow pulling off enough marks this year, i got the A overall. Thanks for the help from everyone, particularly with weather and south downs stuff! Off to Royal Holloway to do Media in September.
:biggrin: congrats to you all:biggrin:

i'll try; trying to improve my bad image...hard when this is how most of the people from my school talked (its a bad habit:frown:)
I hate Geography. I had 2 teachers at the beginning of the year but one left and he didn't teach; just wrote stuff out of the book and the other never taught either, and talked about trips we were never going to go on every lesson.
I also had a panic attack in the exam (definitely didn't get special consideration or anything because I didn't have a doctor's note and I figured I was doomed to failure anyway) and missed about 20 minutes of it and was freaking out for the rest of it... yet somehow I managed to get an A.
It wasn't that great an A because my coursework was rubbish since my teacher wouldn't help, but I did alright and I suppose I would be foolish to drop it now (I've only done AS).. but anyway, I got 64/100 on the coursework, 81/100 on the physical and 97/100 on the human paper. Very pleased.

Happened to me at A2. I've had one teacher who has made my life difficult for 2 years and made me really unwell. I missed so much school. My good teacher from last year left and the replacement was awful and didn't actually bother teaching us. So i missed out hugely on physical geog. I took an extra AS this year for fun / challenge and they picked on me because of it. Anyway, I was right in the end.

I got 80/90 on my hazards exam
120/120 on my South Downs Synoptic

and 290/300 in my AS Politics

If only I'd been taught Unit 4 (Global Futures?) I could have got an A I was 17 marks off and just getting a B could have got me there

Still, I think it's pretty impressive for a student who was told they'd fail for 2 years and hadn't got a hope.

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: Thanks to everyone who has posted on the Geography papges, especially on the South Downs. You guys are the best! Extra thanks go out to Geogger for all the help we all got!!!! :tsr:

570/600 with NICCEA
Im very happy with it :smile::smile::smile:
Hated my geography teacher so much, she hated me too, I don't know why, but she refused to mark my work after a while. On parents night she said "he would be lucky to scrape a C".
Hope she is eating her words with my A :P
