Haha! I did edexcel for english and my theme was family relationships, the exam was 2 hours and 45 minutes long so I'm glad it's over!
I'm exactly the same! I will be calm for a day and reassure myself that it will be ok and then it switches and I'm like 'I'm going to fail ahh!'
Yeah I have one Psychology exam on the 11th and my final one on the 18th, I'm doing AQA A :smile:
I'm going to the uni solo but I'm hopefully going to live with a friend who doesn't go there, but if that doesn't work out then I've applied for Charlotte Court accomodation as a back up, how about you? :smile:

I do haha, I studied A Dolls House by Henrik Ibsen and All My Sons by Arthur Miller as my plays, how about you?

I thought it was ok, I thought it was a pretty good question for family relationships, did you do the same? :smile:

Ah, I was Individuals in Society, so I did Shakespeare's Othello and Equus by Peter Shaffer.

You're so lucky!! Everyone in my class (including me) HATED both parts of the exam. For the first part we got and extract about U2, I mean, where were we supposed to get attitudes, values or ideas from that?? Lol
The second part was worse though, it was absolutely nothing like the previous questions, which were all along the same lines. We got how the character searches for purpose.
Yeah, it was a horrid exam for us. I wish I'd had yours. XD

Wow, that sounds so much better than ours about U2. XD
At least it was good for you, but I hope it didn't pull the grade boundaries up too much for the rest of us. :P
Haha, yeah it is. It was great for the question, but it was awkward as HELL watching these two people almost...do it....on stage sitting next to a teacher. >_< I had to be sitting next to the male teacher too. :P
What's All My Sons about? I've heard of it, but I've never been clear on what it is. :P

It's not too bad, it's by Arthur Miller and focuses on the American Dream and war-profiteering etc. A Doll's House was much better! :smile:

Aww no! :/ which exam have you got aswell as psychology? I'm sure we will be fine! I think it's part of the whole process of it! I am too, it will be cool if we both end up there!

Umm not too bad, I've got schizophrenia, addiction and research methods on this paper so it's probably the worst one of the two! Which topics have you got?

ADH was about a marriage that was for appearances and about how women objectifiy themselves and deny their individuality by marriage. It was basically Henrik Ibsen (the writer) criticising 19th Century marriages; I enjoyed it a bit more than AMS! :smile:

Psych 2011 applicant. Applied to: Oxford, UCL, Durham, Bristol & RHUL

Feel free to ask any questions about above unis or anything to do with UCAS :smile:


I got an offer from RHUL, I was thinking about applying for UCL/Bristol/Durham through Adjustment. Which do you think (out of the 3) are best for psychology?

UCL probably, i imagine they have the most money. Either one will give you a really good degree...

I'm pretty sure UCL won't be in adjustment. Not sure about the other two either being there.
