I got the same, well done - you're talking about the core science modules right? :biggrin:

One mark off an A* in the Biology, :rolleyes:

. Never mind.

I've started revising - for Maths, I'm just trying to get it out of the way now to take off the pressure off revision for the exams, I find module 5 the hardest; Algebra I can do, Shape (the harder stuff) I cannot. Maths is the easiest to prepare for though imo, so if I can get my head round it early a lot of pressure should be gone. :smile:

Ah, I got exactly the same as you! I'm doing triple science (doing Biology, Chemistry and Physics separately), and I was one mark off an A* in Biology (B1 B2 B3)... which is going to haunt me for the rest of my life... :wink:

We do linear Edexcel maths, which is great! (We have two exams at the end of Year 11, so I guess it will be harder this time next year!)

Overall, I'm doing... (with predictions)

English Literature (My favourite subject... want to study at Oxbridge :wink:

) A*
English Language A
Maths A
Biology A
Chemistry A
Physics A
Religious Studies A
ICT (100% coursework, so confusing...) A
French A
History A*
Geography A*
Spanish A

So, twelve GCSES.... should be fun :wink:

I'm aiming for straight A*s, would be great to say 'I got twelve A*s for GCSE!', as oppose to 'I got twelve Bs/Cs'..... revision started last week, going rather well :wink:

I need to make an Easter revision timetable soon....! :biggrin:

I did Bronze in year 9, so I've done a lot of expeditions :biggrin:

. We nearly failed our final last year - we were walking up a huge steep hill and the examiner was behind us, and there was one girl who was struggling behind us and stopped for a minute, so we carried on up and the examiner saw that there was a gap in our group and wasn't best pleased. :redface:

But luckily he didn't fail us. Do you do D of E then?

My final is in a month :cool:

. And nope, I do Latin as an extra activity, wish I could do the GCSE - but I've only started this year and it's meant to be too hard to jump onto the GCSE course that early, so I doubt I'll get to do it :frown:

. Maybe year 11 I hope :colondollar:

I did latin before I choose my GCSEs, the GCSE is apparently v. difficult and I was never that great at it, so i'm sure it wouldn't work out well for me

Haha nice, I'm going on the first practise expedition next saturday, have no idea what to expect, is it hard? :biggrin:

I did one on how people 'maintain brevity through technological mediums' or something like that.

Surely the three hours is spread out, and not in one big long go ?

Blueray, are you on the AQA English specification? We're doing the Understanding Extended texts controlled assessment on Romeo and Juliet, and then the English Literature controlled assessment, comparing Romeo and Juliet with a Heritage title, or something. So far, I've got:

25/30: Writing creative texts
16/20: Spoken language study
B: Speaking and Listening

I'm aiming for 30/30 for R&J.... :smile:

How's everyone finding the work in lessons?

No, I mean if 55% of the course content is marked at A*, 25% A and 20% B. :smile:
