    Aah, I completely agree. Such a terrible exam! And I'm much better at maths than I am physics! Lawl, this should be fun.........
    Ditto. If anything, I was dreading Physics and thought Maths would turn out ok... Aw man.

    Started the year going for a C6 then got a B3 in first prelim and an A1 in the second! Spooky how much I think the course gets easier through time just thinking things through about what you have learned

    does anyone know if the exams from before 2000 were easier/harder than now? would it be worth even doing those past papers? also, does anyone know all the theory that would come up? or any links that show all the potential graph questions? thanks

    I thought the exact same last night. As of yet I've had a quick 'think' about some parts of the course I'm a bit more confused in but nothing else. I think 3 exams was more than enough for me, these next 2 will be a struggle to revise for

    Physics and computing on the 31st, although that won't require too much work as I got pretty high in the coursework. So at 3:30 on Monday your free! cannot wait to get out of computing
