How many retakes?

Scroll to see replies

Yeah, I'd rather be in school too... Never thought I'd say that though. At least I'm getting a lot of revision done at the moment... Done Edexcel Unit 2 Chemistry, Edexcel PSA1 Physics, a bit of C1 and C2 MEI Maths and about half of AQA British History. Leaves Reformation history, C3 and PSA4.

To be honest, I'm getting less and less worried. Ideally tomorrow I'll have finished C1 revision, and by the end of the week C2 as well. But then I'm getting suspicious that I'll forget everything by the time January comes around!

How are y'all getting on?

One retake for an exam I already got an A in (exactly on the grade boundary though), and two non-retakes. I need to do retakes on C1&2 in Maths, but my teacher recommended to wait until June, after we've studied Core 4.

Haha, I had 14 exams at christmas and 17 in summer. Oh the joys of modular maths. Thankfully in maths knowledge builds on knowledge so you can take the easy modules without any revision

5 AS Retakes: C1, C2, FP1, (MEI) Forces and Motion, Electrons and Photons (OCR A)

3 A2 Modules: C3, S3, (MEI) Forces, Fields and Energy (OCR A)

Have started revising, but I'm just not getting the feel for it at the moment to carry on constant revision. I need to revise for all three A2 modules tomorrow somehow so I can get decent mock results, with Maths not being much of an issue, however the Physics being the scary one. I can motivate myself, but for only a small while before I just give up. Maybe I should look at my university choices as motivation? I'll ban myself from the PC as well! :P

Four AS resits - one bio, two physics and one business.
Four A2 - one bio, one physics, one business and one general studies.

I've got all my physics formula sheets on my walls. Looking back at the AS stuff it all seems pretty simple compared to what we're doing now. Mechanics looks like a walk in the park.

I'm in the mood for some business revision right now :smile:
