I did maths 42 and I found it AWFUL! Kind of panicking! Anybody in the same situation as me ??? :O


Don't worry :tongue: I spent most of the time during the exam in panic thinking that I won't get even near an A*, and I changed lots of answers every time I went through and checked it.

Hopefully, the grade boundaries are lower for this year!

They'd better be ridiculously low!!

And who does Literature?

My English/Lit teacher sent me some things he thinks would help with preparing for the exam. We can all work together with them and discuss stuff about them on here.

I don't have a paper tomorrow so, once I get home from my meetup with my voice coach (ABRSM voice exams on the 30th of June, pour moi), I'll come on here and we can work on it.
4pm, UK time? Can you guys make it?


Also, french listening and paper 4. How'd you guys find them. The story thing for #2, I wrote some bizarre stuff, but it made sense (in a funny-ish kind of way). My french teacher had told me before the paper started that I could right stuff that are downright unrealistic and get great marks for them. For #1a, I didn't write anything bizarre, that number was pretty good. The listening, better than my last 2 mocks! For anyone who hasn't done it yet or is doing it in Oct/Nov or next year, write or tick in pencil first, the second time the stuff is played over, confirm your answers, put them in in ink/pen and erase the pencil stuff. On the last page, write in key words or phrases you hear in pencil and quickly write them in in french (minding the question) when it's played over. Everyone who did that in my set, found the paper really good.
