Cambridge 2011 Freshers Chat Thread

Ugh. Chemistry, how I do despise you.
Oh Music, how I hate you.
Oh Physics, how annoying you are.

Oh wait, that's all my subjects right there -_- except for further maths.
But i don't have time for Further Maths BECAUSE IM TOO BUSY REVISING FOR ALL MY OTHER SUBJECTS.
Urgh.
-_-
/End Rant.

Just remember, after these exams, we'll be at Cambridge. That makes me feel better. For the time being :tongue:

And then we'll have, EVEN MORE EXAMS :biggrin:

I panicked last night and started revising Biology at 11pm. After two hours I had gone over three topics which is more than I've done over the whole of the Easter holidays. Still have lots of Chemistry and Physics to do, but that's what tonight is for

I can't revise at night, too sleepy. But then I can't revise now because for once Scarborough is sunny. Oh dear :frown:

Nope, I've got Further Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics this summer. My school opted to do A-Levels/Pre-Us in a linear fashion with ALL exams at the end of upper sixth. No January exams, no exams in lower sixth (except early Maths A-Level)....just one heavy ordeal this summer :frown:

Oh my, I feel for you - I really do. What kind of an idiotic school decides to make their students do all their exams at once!? Maybe others will disagree but I think it would certainly disadvantage the students. Very best of luck.

Ouch, I can't write essays which is pretty evident from my subject choices. I do have 6 pages of physics questions to do and a chem past paper both due in tomorrow so I'm unlikely to finish it all.

St John's. You're a medic right? Seen your 'medic banter' page I think, was that you? Vets have much better banter :wink:

Facebook won't let me respond to your friend request at the moment :confused:

But I will :biggrin:

Has anybody else not properly started their revision yet?

I have done a couple of hours on Politics and History but other than that I have merely been telling myself that reading a novel has constituted English Lit revision!

If anybody has any motivational tips, it would be greatly appreciated :biggrin:

Dude, I can't motivate myself. :sigh:

Nope, and won't really be able to revise at all until somewhere around the fifth to the tenth of may when I finish my EPQ.
Thankfully I only need Bs and Cs, with 84 in maths to get the A*, so not terribly worried.

I get that with my Politics folder. It's certainly not my hardest A Level, but there is a ridiculous amount of information to learn!

Good luck to you too, oh and Homerton :smile:

. You?

I know the feeling. I did pretty much nothing for all of last week but I figured that I should probably start doing something now. I am just about to start an hour and ten minute practice question :frown:

Ah my girlfriend had to do an EPQ, she hated it.

That's a good point, I think that's the same with me. I got 100%, 96%, 95% and 89% UMS for my AS'. I need something like 84 too to get my A* in English Lit and the rest are B's and C's I would imagine, although I am not sure. I only need to get a B for the overall A Level in English Language though as it is my fourth subject.

Same here. Despite having 11 exams this summer I need something like AUUU to make my offer of A*AAB.

You guys got conditions on your fourth subjects?

edit: what college are you mdawg?
edit again: I just realised I've probably talked to you, sorry. I find it really hard to keep track of tsr accounts :redface:

I know right?!?!
But I'm trying not to think about the killing work load I'll have next year - it just demotivates me :P
So, until then, I'm going to convince myself that after June, my life will be easy, so all the hard work will be worth it :smile:

Bahahahahah :biggrin:

when you said "jesus" I thought you were exclaiming, almost like saying "Oh my god, I don't think we've spoken before!"
But then I realised you meant the college. :rolleyes:

Whoops.

I can motivate myself for about ten minutes thinking "I have an offer from Cambridge, let's get the grades!" And then after that I just think "ahhh cba"

Bad, bad times.
