Thread for 2015 S6 Leavers

Of course its a lot, if I get school at lets say 5:00pm I do 3 hours of revision and a past paper which normally lasts 2 hours I finish at 10:00pm and that's not counting breaks or tea. That's crazy! I will be lucky if I survive a week without launching myself out the window...

I noticed you want to do a biology related course at university, so do I! Are you in S4 or S5?

wth why do you get home at 5??? Oh I suppose, but I thought you were meaning weekends as well.

Yes I do and I'm in s5! you?

I get at of school at 4 and the bus is always late so normally I get home at around 5. And yeah I guess for the weekend nearing up to the exam it isn't too bad.
I am in S4 so I still have time to decide but I am aiming for a biology/chemistry based course at uni.
BTW what is a the "REACH" programme? My school hasn't said anything about it at all.

Well since we're just all rambling and having a freak out on the most part I'll join in

Over Easter, I've been aiming around 2.5-3 hours studying per day (including past papers and what-not) and I feel I've improved so much more from even the prelims! Only missing a 1 in Chemistry PS by one mark, sitting comfortably in a 1 for Computing, Chemistry KU, Graphics KI and Physics. Averaging around 26/30 for English Close Reading, and getting 90-100% in all my Maths work. Going strong in Geography, just losing marks mostly around the Farming questions (I don't understand the majority of that unit tbh); usually getting 90% in the past papers. French is good too, but have a lot to live up to only losing 10 marks over the prelims (1 in Reading, 9 in Listening). From Monday I'm going to have to reduce a bit to maybe 2.5 hours a day, just because of times I get in from school and other commitments outside of school. Only in for another week and a half until study leave then my first exam is Computing on the 26th. Feeling good about my exams atm, need to do some essay work for English and some DA work for Graphics but happy nonetheless

Oh alright, are you at a private school or something to get out at 4?

In s4 I wanted to do a chemistry course but I think that was partially to do with my rubbish biology teacher in s4 so I didn't enjoy it as much. But not I have a better teacher, I find it a lot better, although I did enjoy the subject before but now even more!

Tbh, I didn't know what it was before TSR but I'm still not even sure what it is

No just a normal state school 9am-4pm.
For standard grades I have had a really, really good biology teacher and a not so good chemistry teacher but I enjoy the subjects a lot!

What did everyone get for their Prelims?

I am just so scared for maths and history :/ I''ve forgotten so much in Maths, even though I aced the prelim. And there is so much to learn in History. I'm slightly screwed but we'll see.

You'll be fine I'm sure I'm quite confident with maths actually just parabolas that scare me a little aha! Our teacher taught us about iteration yesterday she said that it probably won't be in the exam but its still in the curriculum has anyone here been taught it? It's a whole waste of time tbh aha! She left it pretty late though considering we finished the course in October.

Aw I don't pick history but I'm a little worried for geography I got a 2 in the prelim and I usually get 1s so I was disappointed, I got a 1 in the KU but a 2 in ES and since ES is 60% I got a 2 I missed a 1 by two marks I'm most worried for art (I will never get a 1 for that ) and english probably

I'm gonna be honest here, and say that I don't think the concept of iteration in Maths was introduced to me until Advanced Higher Also, parabolas are quite easy once you get the hang of them What is it about you're worried about?
