How much revision is everyone doing?

Well I was put in for AS French because I didn't wanna do GCSE Spanish and I already had an A in French - and had an A* in English Lit so put in for AS for that...

I'm doing French again at college because due to the fact that we have like 5 lessons less than we're supposed to and we're only predicted Cs so I'm treating this one as a practice...

As for doing a third of them early - Biology becuase I'm doing triple science, Eng and Eng Lit, erm I have no idea why, and French because I was doing fast-track languages

But I am glad I did them a year earlier - it means I have less to revise this time around

Wow, that's really cool. My school doesn't do anything like that. Well, I did an AVCE in ICT in Years 10-11, but regretted it when I realised how much work it was! I got a D in the end, which was really annoying because it was only 3 marks off a C, but I wasn't really bothered about it and I'm not going to declare it on my UCAS form. It would have been cool to get a few GCSEs out of the way early though as there were so many subjects to revise! I hope you did better in French than you think, and even if you do get a C, that's still a brilliant achievement for Year 11. Out of my class of 5, the others will be lucky to scrape Es and Ds judging by the past papers we've done! You don't have to do the whole thing again next year though, you can just do resits.

I'd prefere to do French next year anyway - I really like the language and since I'm doing like 5A2s I'll be better off at least being used to one of them anyway... hoping to get an A in English AS yeahh but can't wait for results day

I'm dreading my English results lol! I think I did well in half of Unit 1, but the other half of Unit 1 and Unit 2 were nasty. I got an A in my coursework though, which is worth 30%, and I'm just praying the boundaries will be low. I'm pretty sure I did well in sociology and French though, so as long as history goes well, it won't be too bad.

I didn't know the boundaries were variable on AQA AS Levels?? I hope they are that makes things easier for me than getting over 80% - I did Enduring Love, Thomas Hardy and The Glass Menagerie... Only one I liked was enduring love

The UMS boundaries are the ones that are fixed, and they're the same for all exam boards- 80% for an A, 70% for a B, 60% for a C, 50% for a D and 40% for an E. The raw marks needed for certain UMS marks, ie what you actually get in the exam, change from year to year depending on how hard the paper is, same as for GCSEs. I did the Edexcel poetry anthology, Translations and Hard Times, plus Much Ado About Nothing for coursework.

Ahh thanks yeah that takes a lot of stress off - I got like 29% of the 30% available in cwk so I think I MIGHT have just got an A - I just hope the marker is nice

Wish I could've done English Lit a year early and gotten some exams out of the way! Don't think I could've coped with doing French early though!!

Eek -re revision - none for my next four exams

2 History, 2 Law

I should be starting my revision, what's wrong with me?? I *have* to get As if I want to get into uni, you'd think that would be motivation enough... am so lazy it's disgusting.

Aww, you still have 4 exams? That's harsh. I just have 2 history and the Germany paper is source based, so doesn't require too much revision. On the 3 mocks we've done, I've got 23, 24 and 25 out of 30 (I'm improving ridiculously slowly!) which are all As, so I'm not too worried about that. Just the Italy paper that will require revision at some point during half-term.

you're sooooooo lucky it's law I'm totally freaked about, and Russia. I got full marks on the 2 German mocks so not worried about those so much, but our history teacher for Russia didn't teach us *anything*

I just revise all day from about 10am to about 12 the next morning, planning on doing that until exams are over.
