Maths at AS. Did **** all for C1 and C2, got 80 and 98 respectively. S1 doesn't seem to hard either and I'm not putting much into it.

1 Night of Geography, got an A

But it also depends on the person, wether they retain the information or not and other matters such as if they're alert etc

I had 74% attendance so I pretty much ravaged Geog the night before, still scraped an A with 81% though!

About 20 minutes for a Business module in January. :yep:

Possibly one of the easiest exams I've ever done (AQA BUSS1).

Psychology, I did very little and I'm pretty sure I've got a very high A, still dropping it.

Few hours for C1.

AS-levels.

Excluding those - probably "transport economics", just learnt a graph to do with taxation & externalities for the essay section.

At GCSE I spent pretty much no time on ICT and got an A*. At A-Level I dunno yet. I have Law in a week and not revised yet. And I had my English which I only revised for the day before, so I shall let you know when I find out :p:

I gave like an hour each to English Language and Computer Studies (both GCSE) and came out with an A* in both. :smile:

As far as AS in concerned, I gave like 2-3 hours for Psychology P1 (the night before the exam!) and around 2 hours for Psychology P2 (on the day of the exam!) and had a pretty swell paper. Still waiting for the result though.

Similarly, I gave like an 4-5 hours for Computing P1 and around 15-20 minutes for General Paper. Pretty much aced both the exams. :biggrin:
