Because my sixth form decided that doing the largest exam ever in 4 months was definitley the best idea for the students... haha! I think they think because we can retake in june it's a better idea to do it now?! god knows

I'm so scared though, it really is such a huge exam and theres such a broad area to get questions from, definitley my weakest subject this year!

And thanks, I'll need it!!

But the problem is with F215 exam, is that it examines 15% of synoptic knowledge of the previous modules...

I'm sure you will be fine tho :smile:

Yes it will be more than f214, it means that the previous knowledge that you learn't from f211,f212,f214 will be also tested in the F215 exam. You can expect marks to range from 1-7.
