Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark III only have 8 exams left anyway, 2 of which are a joke.. Another 2 of which I am incompetent at revising for.. (English Lang&Lit), I don't realise how people can revise for them. How can you revise interpretation, extraction of language features/devices and how to put your opinion across? You either know how to do it, or you don't... But that's just my opinion!(Original post by Zigggyy.)
Really? I think it's so useful! Like, I do german, so my exam's the last exam on the 27th -__- so it's just good to see that I have 20 whole days to revise for it (': just to see which exam's the closest and stuff :')
My last exams are on the 29th, Physics and FSMQ Maths..

All I know is that FSMQ and Physics are on the same day, is it the 30th?
So this is where exam timetables come in handy....
That just means I have an extra days revision

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIAh I see(Original post by Zigggyy.)
ahah, for us we have 3 set texts, so learning annotations and all of that would be pretty wise. (': But for language you just have to master the skills. :/ ah, what exam board are you on for itt? I may have to read Of Mice and Men and Inspector Calls a couple of times, but that's it.
If I'm perfectly honest, I couldn't tell you what exam board I am with for English! I detest the subject so much. Cannot wait to be rid of it... -

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIGood luck with the self-teaching. I wouldn't know how to revise AS sciences though. Wouldn't have any resources and the specifications aren't anywhere near as detailed as GCSE.(Original post by CharlieBoardman)

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark III used CGP Revision Books for all my GCSE revision, and even though they are only revision guides, I believe they cover ever topic thoroughly. CGP are also bringing some full 'Course Books' out for AS Biology and Chemistry this month. So they should help out a lot(Original post by GreenLantern1)
Good luck with the self-teaching. I wouldn't know how to revise AS sciences though. Wouldn't have any resources and the specifications aren't anywhere near as detailed as GCSE. It won't be too difficult, as I enjoy Science a lot too.

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIWell science is pretty easy. And it is annoying how a lot of people get away with not understanding something but just mindlessly learning the stuff about it in textbooks and revision guides.(Original post by CharlieBoardman)

Although I doubt it hugely will be, I hope A-Level sciences will be a lot tougher, and hopefully be more interesting as well! I am sure it will still be a nice step up from GCSE though! -

Re: Current Year 11 Thread Mark IIWell that's the thing isn't it. Somebody can get good Science grades at GCSE, without a good knowledge of science concepts. All you have to do is learn a few sentences, and regurgitate them come exam day. The exams have the same questions every year, so once you learn a few sentences you're fine!(Original post by GreenLantern1)

I hope A-Level is a lot more interesting and complex than GCSE. GCSE is so basic and elementary it's un true. -.- A-Level will be quite a bit harder than GCSE, but I'm not worried about that
