Maths, Further Maths, Economics and History. I'm stressed out about economics and history because there is so much to remember and I've only just started my notes with a month to go until my exams.

Oh lol, I thought you're at A2 level! :tongue: Haha please freak out in a good way because your exams most of your exams (I presume) are in another month! :colondollar:
Ahh, just misunderstanding the question and also lack of skills to interpret questions when it comes down to application and also lack of knowledge too :frown:So second time lucky! :redface:

If revising you mean staring at a revision guide and 5 lines of notes hoping that an area of high knowledge (text book) diffuses into an area of low knowledge (my brain) then yea!

See what I did there, Biology revision! Haha

Yeah on the 9th I have GS 4, Physics unit 2 (I think) and Computing Unit 2. It's fair to say that I do not leave the exam hall

And also on the 2nd I have Computing 1, GS 3 and Biology 2.

Yeah my timetable really is awful!!

Never had a lesson for it and never will (I do further maths) so there's no point really! Also we're doing the whole A level this year so I don't have any GS exams next year which is good but also annoying! Are you doing the same?

Ah I'm in A2 so doing whole thing this year and wasting an hour every week on it (when i acc go to the lesson that is :tongue:) Just it seems pointless to study for something that won't affect unis or my future in any way lol
Original post by Lovinlife2
Just keep doing past papers again and again and again, that's the only way you'll do well in the exam :smile: Best of luck!
What are you aiming to do?


thanks for the advice, i need to start doing past papers soon! My offer is for Medicine :smile: I don't have an insurance so it's either meeting the offer or gap year :s-smilie:

Yeah when most Uni's don't care what you get, why are we still doing it? It just doesn't add up where everything else we do at school is to prepare us for Uni, where does GS fit in?!

Hahaha :lol: I see what you did there - very clever indeed! Obviously the revision is not diffusing well into your brain cells! :tongue:

Oh dearr :frown: I feel for you! Same here! It's like the year where you want a nice timetable, is the year the exam boards wreck it all up for you :frown: Haha sure you'll do fine!
My revision is going well, I'm pretty happy with it at the moment, but I'll be picking up the pace soon (in another 2 days!). How is your going?
I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees psychology like that; it's just never-ending :bawling:

Yeah im finding it quite hard to concentrate when revising, suddenly everything else becomes more interesting, like the Pistorius trial. I watched that the whole day yesterday!!! I can't believe it but it was interesting much more interesting than revision!
