    Scribes are the WORST! Hate having a scribe! Good luck with it though, and If you can, try to check over what they write because sometimes they write something slightly different to what you want and they can make you wrong :/
    You will still be fine in your exams though! Dn't worry about it too much!

    Yeah I got that later on.

    In the exam, if I wrote the correct answer but crossed it out and wrote the wrong answer is it possible that the examiner may give me the mark?
    If you showed the correct working out for the correct answer then you get one mark.

    Greek and Latin? Very nice! I just took French, it seems awfully generic now lol Nearly done now though! I only have maths, history and geography left now, not too bad
    Ah french I'm terrible at french...my teacher was surprised I got a B in the year 9 end of year OMG history...isn't that really hard?! I don't take it, that's why...
    Good luck!!! My geography was 2hours and 45 mins :eek: it was horrible

    I'm Edexcel, what kind of things do you study for this exam?

    Yeah, I think I had a couple of dream like that in my first week of exams as well :rolleyes:

    I'm sure it's your best result

    Do you have/had a scribe then?
    Yeah, basically the muscles in my hands get tired really easily so I have to have a scribe sometimes in long exams :/ it's really annoying but in some ways it's good because I get to sit in a different room which is more relaxed because there are other people talking (who also have scribes)
    It's better than pushing yourself and running out of time or having an unreadable exam

    Have you worked out what mark you need to get each grade?
    I need 29/50 for an A which is good, but I need 49/50 for an A* (not gonna happen)
