Yep, well, if you mean the prospect of doing C4. That stuff is horrendous. My last exam as well, so going to be dreading it for the longest possible amount of time!

C4 isn't that bad. It's just mostly calculus really with a few easy marks on binomial/partial fractions. Vectors can be a little trickly but the first parts in a vectors question are perfectly doable. If you nail the integration in C4, you've got like a C already.

Mine aren't much further behind haha! Five weeks is plenty of time. I tend to do most of my past papers in the couple of weeks before, with a couple before that. I also tend to save one and not do that until the week before because, when you've done a past paper once, you tend to remember the answers rather than work them out!

Ok so you're saying I should probably start past papers I'll try and get some done

Maybe do one or two but I start doing mine two weeks before or so because there isn't much point if you haven't learnt the notes yet, cos then you can go over any topics you get wrong on the past papers when you feel you've learnt it. Everyone's different though so don't take my word 100%

My exact same feelings!! the amount of times I've cried over C4 is crazy! Yeah it's my last exam too! which is annoying cuz I wanna finish on a good note but if C4 goes badly then I'm gonna be sad! Theres just so much to learn! I hate vectors and there is so much integration!

Im taking AS; Psychplogy, chemistry and biology and hoping to pick up Photography next year. Does any one have any idea as to what topics are due up in the AS psychology exam????. Is anyone else stressing so much they cant sleep at noght huhh. Cant wait for exams to be over.

If i remember correctly, the 12 mark questions in my psychology exams last year were on attachment and stress (AQA Psychology A)

When I first answered the poll on this thread, I said, "yeah, quite" oh how times have changed. I've hit panic mode :'(

Same here! I'm at the breakdown stage, I even cried to my mum for an hour last week

Aww! Hang in there! I know how you feel, been choking back the tears aha. What subjects are you studying? X
