Don't matter then, I was hoping to miraculously find someone who is going to the same college as me next year, but I'm far more east than you :cool:

I'm in Cambridgshire, but that's not that much further east :s-smilie:

I'm in Cambridgeshire... but right on the far east, literally the edge of my town is the start of Norfolk.

Would you say you have many friends?

Quite a few actually. Although, I only have 6 really good friends. I think people are attracted to my sarcastic personality amongst other qualities I possess :laugh:

What about you?

Not a sixth form, I'm doing A-Levels at college - The College of West Anglia, Kings Lynn Campus. You?

Ah awesome, yeah in general chemistry I found to be a rather challenging gcse in relation to the easier bio. Ah well done on the english thoroughly deserved. Id be happy to get grades like that for my exams. Of mice and men was the only pleasant english exam. And that sounds like an A to me off the top of my head. Im hoping for straight a*s in science. What science coursework did you find the hardest and how did you fair in the core and additional modules? And thanks for the a level info....some have said wjec is easier for a level chem

Well I found the Chemistry Coursework the hardest no surprise there, i think the one I did was the Enthalpy of Neutralisation that was boring. Also the core and additional modules went ok but im annoyed that I got 89 on C4,C5,C6.

I've never actually timed myself.

But in all honesty probably 2 weeks and a half.

2 and a half.

It took me a week to understand differentiation, integration and sequence and series.
And the rest took 1 and a half week. I took it pretty easy though.

I don't feel sorry for you ( :sorry:

deep down I do- its natural because I have feelings). But don't you think it would be nice for you to have someone to talk to you about your worries, problems, etc?
