    But I forgot the geometric series formulae. Are we given these in the formula booklet or do we have to learn them by heart?
    If you're AQA all of the series/sequence equations are in the formula book

    To those who wake up early in the morning to revise, what time do you go sleep because I usually go to sleep for 1/2 hours when I get home from college and go sleep around 12 or 1 and wake up around 6
    Well, I tend to sleep 11pm and then wake up at 6am and that usually is enough sleep for me to get through day of revision but the way you sleep now is fine if it allows you to get up early for revision. Also, depends on how much sleep you need since some people manage to do a lot of work on little such as my sister used to but she's just weird so It's up to you really.

    By having 3 very noisy alarm clocks plus my mum to wake me up. If you're a deep sleeper like me and find it hard to wake up in the morning then possibly get noisy alarm clocks since it seems to work for me and it might for you. Hope this helps! I go to sleep at 11pm usually. I'm just generally one of those people who feels like I'm never doing enough work so I try to utilize the day as much as possible (with breaks of course!).

    It has just dawned on me how close the exams were today :yes:

    Went into full panic mode :woo:
    Finished making notes/revising one module (out of four) of biology and now my hand hurts from writing

    Later tonight - Start trudging through FP2.
    Bit of advice, do not take Further Maths onto A2 if you're not going into physics/maths/computing
    we can do what we want!

    Motivation to do any revision tonight has left.... getting home an hour later than usual just because the last lesson finished 5 minutes late; stupid buses. Can't wait to get driving lessons sorted after exams :cry2:

    When i've settled down I might go over what we did in Biology today (Haemoglobin) and do some geography.

    Also had my 2nd chemistry ISA today (Practical), if anyones worrying about it.. don't, its pretty straight forward.


    Edit: terrible spelling of haemoglobin :laugh:
