Apparently my schools taking away study leave :frown: I'm so angry right now!

Same! I was so annoyed when I found out :frown: we're going to get revision sessions during school instead which sucks because I can only do proper revision at home :/

:O We have normal lessons during mock time and no study leave

Don't sweat it, revising now is (for me) pointless because I'll just forget it again and I find it hard to sustain the effort lol


peel for "don't sweat it"

What? That's terrible! We're getting two weeks of no timetable and when we don't have exams, we go to one of the supervised rooms and revise so it's pretty good :smile: I can't complain tbh. Also, we get free exam breakfast and stationary yay!
Normal lessons during mock; no study leave for the real things, normal lessons with some revision sessions.

Your school is nice. We're on normal timetable. But at least we get study leave for the real thing :smile:

Yeah, I'm pretty happy about how it's going to go but we don't get study leave for the real thing either which is really annoying :frown:

For the real exams or mocks?

I can only revise properly at home too :frown: I don't think we're having proper revision sessions even, we're just kind of left to chat and 'revise in groups' I honestly think it's going to be so detrimental to my results :frown:

The good things about my school is we can choose whether we want to go to a silent revision room, an "active revision" room or a room with computer access. So, I'm pretty happy about that :smile: that sucks for you, I honestly hate revising in groups or with people or as a class because I just revise better on my own, with no noise :frown:

If they did that it wouldn't be as bad for us, but we're just expected to sit in our lessons as normal and get bits and pieces of work done :frown: at least you have different options of what to do, if my school did it more like that I wouldn't mind as much :frown:

At my school we only have to go in on days we have mocks. If there's a day when we don't have any exams we can stay at home :smile: If we have an exam that doesn't start until the afternoon we can just come in for the afternoon and if we only have an exam in the morning we can go home early, so this is good for me because I generally revise more effectively at home!

We did that for our real exams (in fact the school kicked us out if we didn't have an exam in the afternoon :lol: ), but not for mocks :tongue: Do you get study leave for your mocks too?

We don't get study leave as in not going to school the weeks before our mocks but I'm glad we're not being forced to stay at school when we don't have any mocks (we did the same for our Year 10 summer exams) :smile:

My mocks start on Monday and I feel really unprepared :s-smilie:
