    Haha, that's brilliant! Sure, try before you buy

    You must start your exams really late! I've already had three, and mine are over on the 31st of May!
    I didn't even try RS - I looked at the timetable, saw who was teaching it and dropped :laugh:

    How were they? A2 exams seem to be predominantly June. My first's on the 16th and then there's a gap until my A2 exams that start on the 1st of June (FP3, shudder).

    That was my firm last year. Good luck, it's a cracking course.

    Just don't expect any leniency. I was 2 UMS short due to coursework moderation (had AAB) and they still said no
    Oh my gosh, that's genuinely terrifying how can I control coursework moderation?! Ahah

    Name: Jazzeh
    AS Levels: History, Economics, Law
    A2 Level: English Language & Literature
    Dates: 15th, 18th, 22nd, 25th, 30th and 01st

    One done and dusted; goodbye my sweet Tudors. Economics resit on Friday, which I only discovered today when it was. Though it was a bit later, which is awfully worrying. till got most of the knowledge in my head though I think so not too bad.

    Absolutely quaking in my boots about History's second exam and the law exam, to a lesser extent. Most pressure on the English exam in a way though, as that's my main chance of an A*.

    Haven't revised nearly enough but, meh, never do unfortunately.

    Nope, just CCEA (Northern Ireland board)...ridiculously early!

    I know. I wanted more study leave (and more toasties!) But it's been quite nice, because it gets them all out of the way!

    So true. I had my practicals last week, finish all the science papers next friday, then it's C4 on 1st June and then M2 on 14th June. Could go on a week long holiday in that time.

    I'm really happy where i am now but i wouldn't wish that experience on anyone. I knew straight away i was borderline because i needed stupidly low marks to get an A in my other two subjects, but i couldn't collect my results for another 5 hours after checking track :|

    As long as your UMS for AS Levels are good and you have revised properly for this year you'll be fine I'm really pleased with how i did in A2's but looking back, i probably could have resat an AS paper to gain a few more UMS.

    Pre-U Maths: 24th, 31st May, 1st June (Last Day of School :eek: but also :unimpressed: since I miss out on all the non lessons that are happening)
    History: 12th June

    I'm actually quite nervous for university because when I finished school I was like "yay, freedom, college, being treated like adults, fun!". And it's felt like two more years of school, just with free lessons (a lot of free lessons ), no uniform or bells, and feeling a little bit more adult. Now I'm like "Yay, university! Freedom, being treated like an adult, fun!". And I'm worried it's going to be like three more years of college :facepalm2:

    That said, I am looking forwards to living away, even though I'll miss my family lots. Thankfully my family and my boyfriend go shopping to my university city frequently (it's the nearest place to do any proper shopping) and it's around an hour from home so I'll be going home a lot to see my boyfriend

    I'm excited for summer...but scared at the same time because I'll be off for almost three months and I REALLY don't want to end up as bored as I did last year.

    My Snazaroo set arrived today so I'll at least have something to distract me on weekends in the holidays, because I'm all set now for doing the face painting :awesome:
