    B for Lit
    C for Langauge (2 marks off a B), so I have worked that I will need As in the Langauge exams to get a B.

    Any tips at all please on the reading and writing papers
    Ah good. I have A for language: A in coursework and A in exam.
    Literature I have a C for coursework: 24/40. What mark you get there?

    I don't have any general tips as such. For the transactionalwriting (I think that is what it's called) you really do need some evocative vocabulary though! I have no general tips really but if you need some specific help I would be more than happy to help!

    Btw what texts did you do for literature?

    It's pretty much similar behaviour, although I'm sure for mySQL records you'd perhaps be dependent on different modules and such.

    How did your exam go?
    My exam was tough overall, I thought. Thanks for asking. The programming wasn't that bad although one of the things I thought might come up and practiced I failed to do properly in the exam :facepalm: Hopefully I'll do ok though

    How've your exams been?

    4 down, 13 to go. Kinda wish I had 1 or 2 more exams in May as the bulk of em are in June!

    Week after half term: 7 exams in 5 day >.<


    Will have only done 6 by end of May. About 1/3 of exams done by then; so not too bad!

    Thankfully, I've only got 4 exams left: English Language, Chemistry, Physics and History

    Just wondering how much people revise every day?? I'll admit I've been slacking - I get too distracted easily.

    Is anyone else doing the ICT 'Living In A Digital World' exam? Well, it seems so hard.
    I did it in January its not too bad as long as you know the keywords well, and have a thorough knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of different things! ooh and do as many past papers as you can!

    how did you find it?
    It wasn't too bad to be fair, the timing was pretty crap but the actual questions weren't too bad. Managed to get an A* so it can't have gone too badly!

    As long as you have a sound grasp of the content and have nailed exam technique then you should be fine!

    I don't know my mark, she just told me it was a B lol. How much did you roughly write for each question? Thanks .

    And tbh I would have rather had a C in lit and an A/B in Langauge .

    For lit, I did Heroes, Hobson's Choice and Of Mice and Men.
