4 exams?!? which?

And on the 25th i've got sociology and statistics later = 5 hours in total :frown:


Ouch! And I was bitching about the fact that I only had Stats to do D| Best of luck, those two-and-a-half hour papers are the worst kind evaaar.

As for my worst day exams, that had to be my birthday, and not just because it /was/ my birthday. I had 2 French exams, and English to put the cherry on top. Mmm, thank you, GCSEs!

Tomorrow, I've got Additional Maths FSMQ and History - Elizabethan England. I know very little of either and have currently got a really bad migraine :frown:


This except with Surgery.
Mine's probably the day I have the 1hr 15 min IT exam in the morning, then the 2hr Additional Maths in the afternoon. But I know someone who has 4 exams next Monday, he's doing a Maths resit, followed by a Latin paper, followed by a Physics resit then in the afternoon Additional Maths :lol:
I thought last Thursday would be the worst - two French papers (reading and listening) and then English Language paper 2 - Non-Fiction and Media. However, the French reading paper was easier than the Foundation paper, the listening was easy, both only lasted 45 minutes each so it just felt like one exam that didn't even feel that long, and English was just a piece of cake, so it was actually one of my best exams.

This Friday is my last day of GCSEs.. Welsh Language, which I hate because even though I'm Set 1 First Language, and supposed to be one of the best in the school at Welsh, even though I can speak it fluently and write fine in it, I struggle to understand Welsh texts to answer questions on them. It's not the language or anything, it's just comprehending them - I can never seem to get it into my head properly. And then I have Music Listening in the afternoon, which I'm also not a big fan of so I'm a tad nervous about that one. Still, hopefully off to get smashed and forget about it all afterwards.

Same with me, I had 3 exams in one day and by the time I got to the 3rd my fingers were covered in blisters and I could barely write for the pain.

I can't imagine what would happen if you guys were forced to do some manual labour. :rolleyes:

during my a levels I had so many hrs of exams in 1 day as I had chem A2 history A2 and resit with extra time so that I had to spend the night in isolation at one of my teachers house.:s-smilie:
I had a maths exam. The night before i made sure i had everything i needed, i checked the calculator to make sure it worked. It did.

Then on the day of the exam, i walked in and tried to turn on my calculator. It didn't work, my battery died during the night, i was destroyed. No wonder i had to retake the subject the year after.

At GCSE, I had a three hour Additional Maths Exam, followed by two 1hour20 German exams while in Isolation, on my birthday. Prior to that I had 7 exams in the space of four days - not a good week!

All in all 4 hours 15 minutes of exams in one day. My finger came up in a massive lump and pen marks that have only just come out :P

Also that week I had maths calculator the day after, and maths non-calculator and english langtuage paper 1 on the Monday and Tuesday.
