Same man. Worse, actually. I (thought I) used to be good at maths at GCSE. Now, I don't know if it's because of a combo of possibly bad teaching (seems to be working for everyone else) and poor motivation and lack of mathematical ability at this level - but I got a B in my last C1 mock - much to the amusement of my friends. Seriously, how am I ****ing up C1? :frown: It doesn't bode well for my overall AS.

Here I was, thinking I had a chance at Oxford. But now I guess I can forget about that completely.


Where are you going wrong?

I'll be brutally honest, C1 is an absolute joke, easier than GCSE in terms of getting higher marks I'd say.

Anyone doing History? need some help with structure for 12 and 24 mark aqa questions.... I got a B on the mock but wrote far too much and didn't do a 12 marker :smile:


I do AQA History! Feel free to PM me about help in structuring the answers :smile:
Exams are getting closer. First exam is on 12th May. Sigh

What about them?

Do you lose arithmetic marks? Are you able to answer all the questions? Etc

I think it's just that I feel constantly conscious of the lack of time we have in a lesson. In an actual exam I can just think "w/e m8 let's ****in' go" but in a lesson I'm thinking "50 minutes to food 50 minutes to food not enough to time to write so tired **** this".

Plus we don't do class tests totally formally, and I'm easily distracted. I seem to do fine on the questions I manage to answer in the short amount of time.
