ECON3, S3 and FP2 in a row followed by a weekend of respite and finally FP3, it's going to be tough.

How am I supposed to do my best when I write slow as hell? I don't think i've ever comfortably finished an exam with time to spare, and always run out of time when i've got so much more that I would have liked to have written down.
That's why my grades on essay/written based exams and courses were never as good as my grades for coursework based courses and courses like Maths.

I swear, if I was allowed to type out my exams on computer, i'd do so much better. Perhaps even actually write my conclusion before the examiner is walking down the aisle to collect my paper, and after i've written all that I wanted to for the rest of it.

My writing speed has nothing to do with how well i've understood the Odyssey (using my classics a-level for example) I know that story from top to freakin' bottom.
Thank god what I do now is all coursework based

Ive made mind maps all of Unit 3 in my subjects for next week.
Thing is, i need to go over all of them and make sure i know them well enough, just there is SO MUCH stuff to know in the space of afew days.
These unit 3 exams next week are:
Mon- Psychology
Wed- Sociology & Geography

Has anyone else got similar layout or has had this in the past?

Seriously?? That's not that bad in terms of timetabling.

On more than one occasion I have had 8+ exams in 5/6 days. Now THAT is bad timetabling.

I know what you mean, first week of exams, I had exams the first three days and on Friday. The week after, I had exams on the first four days...

But the fact you have 2 and the other has 1 is because your retaking an exam? So you cant blame the exam boards for that.

No i'm not retaking, both the exams are on the same day. OCR is just honestly being a bitch, anyone doing M2 and S2 will know.

i'm basically gangbanged next week with maths,geography and history exams. I spent 12hrs doing notes for history and I still have a whole topic left, and I have geography to revise for

[azzi282]

I had 9 exams in 12 days and i basically crammed the day before every exam, but i managed with severe sleep loss. Word of Advice: Never do that if you like you sleep. lol.

I know

A few weeks ago I had 8 exams within 4 days! and there was a day where i had 3 on the same day including a geography AS which im taking early...

atleast it got 50% of my exams out the way just like that!

Have you spoken to your exams officer about it? They might allow you to get extra time or allow you to type your exam.

I think it's pretty ridiculous as well how close together all the A level exams are. I thought I had a hell of a week with an exam every single day for a week, but there was a girl in my year who had 4 in a day, and she said by the time it got to doing the last one she had pretty much given up :/

Oh I finished my A Levels almost 2 years ago, haha
But extra time of some sort would of helped loads. I know people who were dyslexic that got it, but seeing as I wasn't I just presumed there was nothing they could do for me.

I am just worried, and its unfair how they organise the exams so close together
I really want to get the best i can do, but this makes it alot harder.

How are you supposed to deal with all that information for conflicting subjects?
Has anyone else got similar layout or has had this in the past?


Edit-
Forgot to say, also have the following week;
Mon-Psy (unit 4)
Tues-Geog & Soc (unit 4)

even worse thats why im doing unit 4 now as i havent finished it :L

Haven't anyone read this
