    Are you doing BUSS2 this May by any chance? I found it very easy after looking at a few past exam papers at school which a friend of mine was doing and decided to take it up as an extra AS two weeks ago. I completed BUSS1 last week and plan to start and finish BUSS2 throughout next week.

    Okay but well done! How long did you spend revising for 02? I know it varies but im really struggling! Sorry for all of the questions
    That's okay, I hope I'm being helpful. It's a shame that you didn't do the criminal law stuff cause I have a lot of notes typed up that I could send to you. Well for 02 I made notes as we went along with each handout and I only started 'properly' revising during Easter, memorising stuff, doing past papers etc.

    When does everyone's study leave start?

    Mine starts 18th May... and my first exam is the 16th May :facepalm:
    Then the rest 21st till 24th.
    So i'll have a grand total of a weekend of study leave before the bulk of my exams :laugh:
    Mine starts on the 30th May (or around the end of May) my first exam is on the 14th May. Just why.

    DONE my list, and good job too since my concentration was starting to waver majorly :P

    * C2 - solving trigonometic equations
    * C2 - trig identities
    * C2 - Binomial expansion
    * C2 - Recap radians
    * Maybe attempt C2 past paper
    <- started but decided to leave till properly finished spec and fully revised
    * CHEM2 - Energetics definitions
    * BIOL2 - Begin DNA revision
    Only got Cell cycle/meiosis/mitosis to do now
    * GEO1 - Begin to make notes from mark schemes.
    Notes on all sorts.. tropical cyclones, OPEC, NIC's, Megacities, Increasing life expectancy in UK, evidence of global warming, renewable energy ... etc.
    I'm struggling to revise geography to be honest, the text book just rambles on with itself.

    So for the rest of my night i'll just be adding a few pages to the revision blog I started

    Okay, I am taking CIE A level and having AS exam next month. Unfortunately, I had failed my mock exam last month, it was totally a disaster! I've been working very hard to study for the upcoming AS exam but I have no confident on taking the exam.

    I still left with Physics, Pure maths, Applied maths and chemistry!

    For about next 3 hours, I though I'd start with short-term goals :

    *Sociology : Mass Media.
    *Tort: vicarious liability.
    *Mechanics: Past paper.
