    Hey everyone!

    Long time lurker, just registered though as exams are in a month and I NEED motivation, badly. Have my music GCSE on 13th May and it's safe to say that I'm sh**ting myself.

    Anyone else doing Music?

    Time for me to waste my time and ask a random question again: What's everyone's favourite song?
    I can't pick a favourite song but Michael Jackson's Off The Wall album is perfect. If you're a musician, you'll see why, as it's not just the songs themselves its the production and mastering of each one too.

    Probably going to have to revise today! Need to get started with geography notes.

    Am I the only person who actually likes ICT; we did the GCSE in Year 8 and 9. Though I must say the AS is tiresome and actually a lot harder than GCSE (ICT hard? I know right) so it has made me like it a fair bit less.

    See, I wish we had done GCSE ICT, which is more respected than our crappy OCR 100% coursework course. I would have much preferred to sit an exam in it also, and cut down the amount of coursework. My course became so boring. It is notoriously easy, but incredibly boring.

    Our school usually does, but they decided to switch things around for our year really annoyed me, as you can imagine. The past few Year 11's got 13ish GCSE's, and we only get 9.5. What a joke!

    I think I'll revise Science today, that's more important than all my other subjects. Geography and History are June so I can revise in the study leave for those

    Edexcel. And filling out each musical device for each set work on a piece of paper then testing myself by writing a generic question that might come up in the exam and trying to answer it. Very tedious, but seems to work.
