ahah seeing as i didnt revise last year and failed all my AS exams (fair play i had 9 in the space of 2 weeks with 2 exams a day on some days)
i have been revising since friday doing 4-5 hours a day before i even think about scialising revision for me starts at half past 10 till 5 oclock unless i take time out of my breaks to finish earlier
I currently spent 1 day looking through my subjects for things i dont know and write the answer schemes on flash cards, i spent yesterday doing solely doing business questions and i am checking for my mistakes today and putting answers on flashcards (i did about business papers yesterday)

I have 3 exams in january now - physics, business and chemistry - oging to be a fun 2 weeks starting on the 7th
also yes my grammar and punctuation is horrible but i have never been any good when it comes to that XD

I'm doing 3 AS exams.
I feel prepared to some extent, just need to finalise all this revision, then its just maintenance.

5 Exams, maths, physics & history. 2 A2's and 3 AS retakes. So hopefully if these go well the pressure won't be too bad in June but I haven't done as much revision as I envisaged, as revising over Christmas was harder than I expected. I have done a reasonable amount for 4 of the 5, but haven't even opened my books since May for the History module I am retaking and its in 16 days :s-smilie:

I only have an Eng Lit resit for which i feel quite confident with minimal revision. However, i also have mocks for which i havent prepared enough, so Im going to start intensive revision from tomorrow.

3 exams. So unprepared it's unreal. Don't feel ready for any of them :frown:

I can never concentrate for longer than 5 mins. Anyone think i can turn it around in a week? :biggrin:

7 exams in January, loving life. Currently living off excessive amounts of Kalms to stop me panicking lol. Least these are a bit more spread out than last January when I had 4 exams in 3 days. However I still have Maths and Chemistry on the same day. Bad times.

5 and no

Only got C1 thank goodness, however, this makes my Summer a whole lot more challenging.
It's going okay, I've been procrastinating a lot (!) but I've covered quite a bit of content. After having done all the exam papers in lessons before we broke up, it's a case of going over things I don't get. There's 14 days left until it happens and there are eight chapters. So I have enough days to cover each chapter twice.

Yes I can do Maths, I've already cover 1 topic so now have 7 in 14 days in case anyone didn't think I could do Maths. Oh the irony that would be!

Got 2 main A2 exams, Chemistry and Geography; and a slightly less important two AS retakes for Maths (doing it to boost my shoddy AS grade). Chem is going very well, but geography is a tough nut to be motivated for, seeing the immense amount of content :tongue:

Been ill for the past couple of days, so that's hit my timing and motivation :/

Do work hard guys, don't fall into the trap of thinking there's always the retake in June. Get it out of the way now! It'll make life so much easier :biggrin:

sad to say it but he is right guys when you do a resit/retake the grade boundaries are pushed up so what got you a c before would get you a d in the resit - it is designed so it is not just a back up exam you know

also if you took physics aswell you could have been me - but i got 4 U's last year XD
me no likey exams

I've got C3 in January... somehow I feel that drinking excessive amounts of Earl Grey and looking at text books is not helping at all.

I've got C3 in january too but i don't find the past papers as repetitive as C2 or C1. Every year its something different and im really worried.
Are you doing past papers or just practicing textbook questions?
