The Current Year 12 thread 2016-2017

Agghhhh so stressed!!! Just feeling like I've got rock bottom at the worst possible time with exams in a few weeks!!

I feel ya. My stress levels are so high right now

I feel ya. My stress levels are so high right now

It's just awful isn't it! I don't know what to do to cope any more

I know how you both feel! I'm terrified for these exams. They're stressing me out.

Yes!! What exams do you have?

I've had 3 already, back in March and beginning of April but my next ones are 15th May for Drama theory and 18th May for Media theory

You?

Can't believe I haven't discovered this thread sooner! Better late than never, I guess
I'm Yasmine, a fellow Year 12 / lower year sixth former. I reside in West London. My hobbies encompass pretty much anything artistic ranging from drawing to creative writing to painting to theater. Alongside that, I enjoy playing the piano (non-graded, it's just a pastime) and my favourite sport is basketball.
I take Maths, English Lit, History and Economics, all Edexcel. I'm planning on carrying all my options onto Year 13 as well as picking up Further Maths and Art (but I'm only permitted to pick up Art as an AS because I didn't do it as a GCSE).
My dream university is Stanford therefore I'm also sitting the ACT exam (American college entry exam)... aaaand my ideal job is an animator at Pixar but it's a pipe-dream, so I'd say I'm currently on track to do Law.

Ouch! How did they go?

I've got four - biology AS on the 25th of May, and the 6th of June, and then health and social on the 24th of May, and the 7th of June!!

Or health and social care 24th may??

Do you think you're ready?

No! Got mock paper back and got distinction though however! Are you doing this exam?


Posted from TSR Mobile

me neither but i haven't got my mock results yet

What are your weaknesses??


Posted from TSR Mobile

Probably learning the key works such as self image self esteem etc and learning the different roles in health and social care

My strength is definitely Human Development and learning the PIES I find infancy to be the most interesting one

I remember after doing the mock exam for unit 1 my hands we're hurting there's so much writing to do compared to unit 2

Are you doing Edexcel (BTEC)?

Ahhh I'm the opposite to your weaknesses! I find theories e.g. Bowlby Chomsky Schaffer and Emerson and the social disengagement theory and activity theory difficult!!

I only have one unit! (Human lifespan development)

I'm not sure but it's Pearson BTEC level 3 nationals

Cool we have the same exam board

Bowlby and chomsky I get but never learnt about Schaffer and Emerson and the social disengagement theory and activity theory

Do you know Piaget's theory?
