TSR Study Together - STEM vs Humanities - Fourth Session

Original post by MysteryyyGirl86

those are tests right? in the us we have state tests every year for english math, and science. mine are in april :smile:

Right, so GCSEs would be like big exams at the end of Sophomore year/ 10th grade, and you study a full range of subjects similar to a US High School. But then after that you usually take 3-4 subjects for A-level and you still the exams at the end of what would be Senior year in the US

@MysteryyyGirl86 so you still do the state tests even though you're home-schooled? Are they mandatory?

The personality types and stress thing is so interesting! Are personality types something that's accepted in psychology? Or does it mean more like tendencies and traits? I'm thinking specifically of whether the Myers Briggs test is actually legit
Hope the session is going well for everyone! I'm curious to know how many are doing GCSEs, A-levels, or something else?

It's more about tendencies and traits in the stress topic :smile:

And I'm studying alevels right now!

I type my exams but everything has to be disconnected, but that's because I tend to write quite slowly

Hey guys! Just about to go and have dinner but I've had such a productive session so far, my focus techniques are working! I've done everything on my list apart from starting my lit homework so far so I'll definitely get on that after dinner :smile:

Feeling very proud of myself, hope everyone else is proud of themselves too!

I just finished the paper! I did it in about 1 hour and 15 minutes, in an actual exam I would obviously check over the paper but I am just going to start marking it now! #teamSTEM
