I haven't started any form of revision yet! 1 and a half weeks to my first exam...

Are you me? I did loads during Easter but I can't remember it now and I'm not stressed at all for some mad reason. I'll start tomorrow or Monday! :wink:

Trying to use exam questions and plan the answers (without looking in my textbook). And then maybe writing the answers if I can be bothered. I'm doing USA 1890-1945 and Civil Rights in the USA. Fecking USA.. :banghead: You?

Edexcel. I'm halfway through learning FP2, still need to learn D2 and M3.


:redface: I'm still self teaching myself M3, its a big hurdle compared to M2, definitely didn't expect it to be quite as tough (currently on chapter 4). D2 I stopped half way through, couldn't handle the amount of nonsense it went on bout :tongue:
I'm wayyy too relaxed in regards to revision at the moment.

Going to do an all nighter tonight. Slacking and my first exam is in 19 days. :eek3:

Hmm, I looked through M3 and it really doesn't look that tough. It looks like a mix of physics As with some C4 integration thrown into it, which part did you find hard?
D2 I'm worried about, it looks way too long and way too boring.

Chapter 4 is pretty tough, will start chapter 5 tomorrow, if it's full of C4 integration then that's good, but chapter 4 is bugging me. I'm doing OCR physics, they don't go into as much detail as what was in M3. D2 was horrid, I couldn't take it, so replaced D2 with M3. It is lengthy, and a lot more complex than D1.

Just some advice-I'd start now. If your exams are this close, then they'll be over in a matter of a few weeks, and soon you'll be on holiday looking forward to a long summer. If you put in the work now, your summer will be far more carefree and you won't view results day with any trepidation whatsoever, and the long-term gain will be great for you.

Come on, you can do it, and it'll be worth it...:smile:

It seems like a lot of people here could do with the GCSE or AS Level Revise in a Week, have a blog post on this

My first exam is in two weeks and I don't feel prepared at all (although it's a retake with an acceptable grade already, so a little less pressure than the A2's.) I revised over Easter but still have a lot left to learn.
If I could revise more, I would, but I've got mountains of set work from school. All I seem to do are practice essays when I want to be bulk learning information. It's very frustrating!
