God I just realised I worded everything in the wrong way! 5 days until my first exam, and then my last exam is 12 days after that. So my whole exam period is 12 days long, starting in 5 days.

I know somebody with 12 exams which sounds awful

I have 10 exams over 41 days. I've already had 2, then I have 2 weeks without exams, then I have 4 exams within 2 days, and then I have 4 others which are slightly more spread out. :eek:

I know, it's a bit annoying! :unimpressed:

Although I suppose that I have chemistry and French on the same day, so the exam boards must assume that not many people take those two subjects together. The other two that I have on the same day are maths and a further maths retake, and I think that's fairly usual.

Yeah, me too! The thought of a really long summer is what's keeping me going :lol:

Maths and History have clashed for the past 2 years but they're the most popular A-levels so idk what's going on there! I think Law and Maths clash this year too

Chemistry and French clashing is probably quite fair, I don't think anybody does those together in my school :tongue:

Yeah, there was one other person in my French class last year that also did chemistry, but she dropped French this year :tongue:

Had my Psychology G543 exam yesterday...

... Looking at it realistically it could have gone a lot worse, but the Sports section was absolutely horrific so I can basically say bye-bye to Cardiff right now :frown:

Also looked at the WJEC Film Studies FM4 past grade boundaries. If my chance at Cardiff wasn't thrown away yesterday it sure will be tomorrow! :frown:

Hey, so the way things are going this year indicate I'd be lucky to get a good clearing course, SO:

What do I do? Is there a way to retake exams with the new spec change? I'm open to relearning the new spec if that's an option, but I don't really understand how it all works- would I have to retake 2 years? Or could I just study at home for a year then take the exams?

Everyone at my school typically goes on to Russell Group uni's so while some retake year 12, no ones ever retaken year 13. Any advice/ personal experience is welcome.Thanks!

Hi, the current spec exams are available next year for Resitting only. Your school almost certainly won't teach you but if you can self learn the stuff you need to know you could see if your school would let you sit the exams there.
