Thanks I guess :tongue:

I don't dwell on it, I couldn't care less about it now anyway :biggrin:

I haven't played it since year 11 :frown:

I'm pretty sure I would have height advantage though? I'm so tall I could just drop the ball in the net... :colonhash:

B is great! Deal with it. :rolleyes:

Well done

'Tis okay. :console:

Have you stopped core PE in Year 12? :tongue:

How tall are you then? The baskets 10ft (full sized ones)! :tongue:

'Just drop the ball in the net' <- You'd have to get past my defence though. :rofl:

Fine

Yeah, don't have time for it anymore :frown:

Did it all through years 7-11 though :tongue:

Like 5"10? Not very tall :tongue:

M8 I would get through your defense easily, I'd throw the ball through your legs run round you and then score :biggrin:

Biology is literally just memorising stuff and commenting on graphs. If I were you I would just start learning the notes you get in lesson, and if they are bad, just use the revision guide. The CGP revision guides are really good for GCSE, contrary to popular belief :tongue:

I got 3A*s pretty much just by doing past papers and making notes from the CGP guides. The my-gcsescience videos are also good if you are a visual/auditory (the sound thing - you know what I mean :tongue:

) learner.

Good.

Ah okay, I was wondering + I guess that's kind of to be expected. :redface:

You still play... Football though. :tongue:

Have you ever played volleyball?? :ahee:

Why do people think 5'10 isn't tall? :rolleyes:

How cute but that wouldn't happen. :unimpressed:

I started making revision cards and then stopped... They're so annoying to make but help me. I managed 2 and a half topics and then stopped. Maybe I should start again in the halfterm? D:
Thank you! :biggrin:

What about long questions though? I usually lose marks because I'm too vague. :frown:

I remember just before Christmas last year, I made notes for some of my stuff in class and so I can ask the teacher for things as well incase I forgot then I got bored... was planning to continue during the holidays then I just got distracted by learning something else that wasn't school related :lol:

just don't lose motivation to something else like I did...

Biology, last year I did B1, I couldn't get it finished because I'm so slow at writing :cry2:

got 50/66 with only 4/5 paper completed :frown:

also quite a bit of it was out of my specification as well so I think I did quite well, if only I could write that little bit faster :frown:

anyway gonna resit it this in November, though I really can't be bothered to go through last years ecology ****...

Yeah got a game tomorrow :biggrin:

Of course I have, beach volleyball and volleyball in the pool are so fun!

Is it tall? I'm not really sure, I think it's pretty average. How tall are you? :eek:

I wouldn't be so sure :cool:

Yeah it's a really good thing to do, then just make sure you go over them every 2 weeks or so and they will stay in your long term memory :smile:

For long questions it's just about knowing all the facts, and practice I guess. A lot of them tend to repeat themselves so you can just practice all the 6 markers from past papers :smile:

(make sure you learn the mark scheme :tongue:

)

i just looked at the mark schemes and exam reports and used the same vocab that they recommended :redface:

I won't... I hope. E-F-F-O-R-T <- Is good Trihawk. :tongue:

Well that's a great score even if you didn't complete the paper! :biggrin:

Do it!! Revise in the holidays as well + do lots of questions/past papers so you can get quicker! It will be worth it! :ahee:

Water polo is great too! :ahee:

I feel really short standing next to some of my friends now. :tongue:

Thank you! :tongue:

That means I'd have to be bothered to type the questions I make for myself out as well... Hmm. I will look at it but thanks. I might do that for other subjects not science because I prefer handwritten stuff for that. :biggrin:

Multicoloured pens! :ahee:

'Tis okay now. I had to put re-inforcer things on EVERY single page though. I can't hole-punch to save my life. :nothing:

Just because it's 'average', doesn't mean that it's not tall! :tongue:

That's what I do with mine and I write the answers on the back for checking later. :biggrin:

I'm sure it's not terrible! ^_^

Thank you!! Stationary is fun! :ahee:

Why?

I let people borrow mine... How annoying. :colonhash:

Do you know what the average height for a man is in the Netherlands? :rolleyes:

I guess I could use a mixture of handwritten and computer-based then, depending on the topic. :tongue:

Why? For examiners? :redface:

I can't see the picture clearly but look that's not bad at all! Just practise if you think you want it to be better. ^_^ I've seen terrible handwriting. That's not terrible. :tongue:

Oh but I do + yes the GPS is strong. :colone:

(Omg... just go! That was accidental. :tongue:

Yeah I always play it on holiday, it's so fun! Never played it, although I would love to as it looks so fun, and I love swimming :biggrin:

That seems quite tall? :eek:

You're almost as tall as me and I'm 2/3 years older :colonhash:

How would I feel then? :eek:

You're welcome, enjoy (well at least try to :tongue:

Ah okay. 'Tis great indeedy! Yep, water polo is fun as well! Competitive too... Play it if you get the opportunity. :rofl:

Yeah... it's just that I have some friends who are 6ft and 5'10 etc. :wink:

Lol. You're not even 2 years older than me, remember? :tongue:

I thought it'd be the 'c' version because that's the noun? I thought words with the c are nouns e.g. 'to advise' and 'advice'. :redface:

I might give you some recognition this time. :woo:

Of course! Quite a bit of revision as well! I have three tests this week. :biggrin:
