    Lucky me, I only have Spanish next week, and French the week after.
    What exam board are you doing for Spanish?

    Ok same. You know in the literature and arts section, do the characters names count in our word count because each time I write an essay I'm like 300 words over :|

    I have German on friday. WHY do they have to go and put the exam I'm most likely to go and do the worst in first?

    Eek, everyone's timetables sound really bad and the expectations for grades are the worst! Hating A2 right now

    Yess I need AAB too, I'm not too worried about German or Sociology but I'm freaking out about Psychology! I was 2 marks under an A at AS and I need an A overall
    What university is that for?

    I prefer AM exams, at least they're out of the way, whereas with PM you have hours to fret over it! 2 of mine are AM, 2 are PM.

    True i agree ,but i keep thinking few hours of solid revision before the exam will make huge difference especially for chemistry and biology !
    Then 3 the week after ,so six in total in the space of two weeks .

    Yeah that's good actually. Quite thankful for the fact my last exam is PM, as it's got the most content to cover (Sociology 4). Good luck with your exams

    Good luck Alice, sure you can do it!

    How do you have so many :O! I only have 4 in total, although 4 of my A2 modules were coursework based.


    This was posted from The Student Room's iPhone/iPad App
    If you count the two I took already I have 10 in total.

    3 For Maths
    3 For Further Maths
    2 For Economics
    2 For General Studies

    I didn't take any of the modules in January.

    Yesss, Sociology 3. Dreading Sociology 4 the most because there is simply too much to cover!
    What university are you going/course are you doing?
    Thank you, good luck also!

    Haven't you done unit 4 yet then? Aghr I know, when you compare Crime and Deviance to Religion in the textbook, there's more than double for Crime! It's ridiculous! Blehr and research methods, *yawn*. The only good thing about unit 4 is that the grade boundaries do tend to be fairly low, because I think everyone struggles with it!

    I'm doing International Business with French + Spanish at Aston University What about you?

    Need AAB for Chemistry at Warwick... already had 4 exams (all maths) and I still have 6 exams to go - 2 next week, and then 4 the week after! D:

    Although, my insurance is BBB which I shall definitely get, so at least I know I am definitely going to university!
