Official A-Level Results Day Discussion 2012! (16/08/2012)

Original post by britchick

How many hours' worth of revision are A2 students doing each day this half term?

As much as I can physically handle without having a breakdown, not really counting hours :tongue:

As long as you're working to your best potential, you're doing enough. Some (crazy people) can do about 12 hours a day, some prefer to do 4-5 hours of very concentrated revision and chill for the rest of the day! All depends on how you work :smile:

Yes my firm and insurance are the same, but all my offers were AAB so I had no choice :sigh:

No, I'm in England. If I were in India, it would have made the Ben thing a whole lot creepier :tongue:

Yes, my insurance choice has higher entry requirements than my firm. Because, well, CARPE DIEM. (And because "YOLO" is not okay.)

OMG this is insane! Emma is basically one of my best friends, Padraig and Giselle are in my psychology class and Steven, Fatima etc I just met randomly :p:

Always weird when someone recognises you on TSR though!

is it AS or A2? :sad:

I'm doing A2 but it was an AS resit, but I've still got a decent B for it so it's not terrible, just would have liked to try get it up a bit because I had a terrible Biology A2-2 paper a few weeks ago! Hopefully it won't affect me too much :frown:

but thank you for your concern :smile:

Will give rep as soon as I can!

Aww

I hope it won't affect you too much and I hope you feel better soon! I was worried I'd end up missing exams; as it is I'm sitting them but applying for special consideration. Can you do the same or are you going to stick with the B?

that's awful, hopefully special consideration will help you a lot though :smile:

and I think I'll just stick with a B :smile:

I only need ABB for my firm choice anyway, and I feel a little guilty for applying for something like that where there are loads of people with serious health issues and I've only got a bad case of the flu :tongue:

How are your exams going though? I really hope that your problems don't affect your uni choice :frown:

You shouldn't feel guilty about applying for it, you can get special consideration if you get hayfever or a headache in the middle of the exam, the flu is definitely worth applying for it! :smile:

I've only had one so far and I think it went alright but towards the end I was struggling to concentrate. My own stupid fault though, I timed taking painkillers wrong so that by the time I got into the exam they were beginning to wear off but I couldn't take anymore, and it was a 2 and a half hour exam :facepalm2:

I'm predicted AAB/ABB, but my uni offer is 240 points so I should still be able to get that hopefully! My doctor's told me he'll provide evidence for the exam board if they need proof that I've been ill which is good because I have a feeling I'm going to need it :s-smilie:

I first went to the doctors on the 21st of March and since then I've been into college three times I think - twice for lessons, once for an exam :s-smilie:

you've probably done fine in that exam! I think we all think we've done worse than we actually have :tongue:

. At least your doctor is willing to help you, I'm sure it'll all work out fine :smile:

(also that rep is coming... I've ran out today :tongue:
