    Hello! The papers are quite insane so far, possibly one of the hardest in the entire history of A-Levels exams. I don't know, I just felt that Physics was a bit too difficult for Paper 4. Maths was hard too and I heard stories about people crying after the exam (Paper 3).

    I don't take Biology and Chemistry, but my friends said it was very difficult too. Now I'm just hoping Further Maths and Economics would not be following the trend!

    How many exam papers do you have left and what is it? I have 5 more papers to go! :unimpressed:

    Only? :eek: I thought each society would have at least 10 members since it's opened for membership for the whole university. Oh right... be more careful and take care la! What are you working part-time as btw?

    I totally agree! Is your exam board CIE or Edexel? Mine is CIE and yes I had quite a few friends tear up after Maths Paper 3. I didn't cry but I might as well have. >< *fingers crossed though!*

    I don't take Physics but my friends said they all died. Haha. And the Biology paper 4 was.................totally..... ................................ ................ Need I say more?

    I just hope that Chemistry on Friday will be bearable! All the best to you for your papers!

    My A2s are all in June
    Really!! That's great, you have more time to prepare!
    Is your exam board CIE? I'm guessing your papers are Law/Economics/Accounting/Further Maths?

    Yep I'm taking CIE exams. I don't know. Why did CIE make the papers harder this round? As my Economics lecturer always say, you all born in the wrong year. :rolleyes:

    All glory to God I didn't do that bad for my Maths, although I've lost around 4 marks in Paper 3 due to some careless mistakes. My mistake for being over-confident and didn't check many times especially the calculations and drawing. There were too many proving questions that further improved my confidence level. :stomp: Haiz.

    Anyway, good luck to you too! I seriously hope I can do my FM and Economics papers well.

    I'm doing Edexcel. I had some AS papers this week and then it's a two and a half weeks gap before my A2 starts. Hahaha. I envy my friends who took CIE coz they end on 31st May! Actually I take Econs, Maths, Accounts and AS Chem

    It's not just CIE. Edexcel is also getting progressively harder since my first exam last May. The past year papers was way way way easier compared to the exams now.

    I totally comprehend what you two are going through!!!!! Happened to me so, so many times when I did my A2 papers last year. It was literally like having all the papers smacked into my face, yelling at me "I BET YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THE QUESTIONS ON ME" lol. But don't worry, keep your spirits high, work hard and don't give up!

    Hahaha IKR. Wasn't that surprised about the papers this time around since I've already got my heart attack last January. But those questions really made me scream "OMG THEY CAN TURN THAT INTO A QUESTION?!" after the exam. Edexcel really like to lull you into a false sense of security I tell you. Their first questions are always easy and then BAM they pulled out the big guns.

    Definitely more than 10 members in total, around 200 + but only about 5-6 turns up? I guess they weren't interested in first aid and just join for the sake of joining ? I'm working in Oxford Circus in a Japanese restaurant. Tiring but at least you don't feel the time pass when you're working, so I enjoy it a lot. I hate going to work and kept looking at my watch hoping the needles are pointing at the numbers that I want to go home.

    First aid. Mmm sounds interesting! Very much like the drama I've been watching in Astro AEC since last week haha! Well, it's the best if you enjoy your work! There's no point working if you don't enjoy it, as in the long run you will eventually switch to another job sooner or later.
