    I think some places go back on Tuesday though, or, as that guy said, Monday.

    Depends on your LEA.

    I have module exams a week on Tuesday and Wednesday. Argh! Physics I'm fine on, but Chemistry I'm just Not Good Enough!

    Hey,

    Most As Students are taking exams in Jan right? I was just wondering how you are preparing and what things you are doing to get ready for the exams. I have such a short concentration span its unbelievable and i feel like i have done hardly any work even if it is the festive season.

    So how are the others at "TSR" coping? :hmpf:
    Ill start tomorrow
    i swear :rolleyes:

    I think everybody starts school on wednesday. Every LEA is like that. Monday and Tuesday are public holidays.

    I've done;
    14 C1 papers (edexcel specimen and solomen papers)
    15 M1 papers (solomen and edexcel)
    12 Chemistry 1 papers
    6 Wave properties papers.

    Phew!
    I have spaced it out though so I didn't spend all my holidays doing past papers. This was spread out since November.

    I am having a good day today...kind of. I have done quite a bit of note making from textbooks and essays but I am finding that I have the constration span of a goldfish..lol.

    Maybe its because last night I had a nightmare and afterwards I couldn't sleep so I dug out Harry Potter 5 and started reading...finally dozed off around 4ish then slept through my alarm (a really hard thing to do giving that my alarm is louder than big ben!)

    I have memorised everything in the whole world they could ever ask me on the OCR Politicis AS Mod 1 syllabus.

    Everything I tell you!

    I hate it when you finish revising and then have a week to just sit about. Feel like I should carry on revising forever and a day...

    Luck to everyone

    Argh, this thread is scaring me! I'm only taking 2 modules in Jan - an ICT AS retake and an Economics A2 module. I have done no preparation for economics so far and just read through my IT notes. Eek. They're not for a while though, and econ is at the end of the month, so plenty of time to cram

    Oh, and I go back on Thursday :p:
