Cambridge Offer Holders 2015 thread

Scroll to see replies

Less losing the will to love, more fearing that I won't make my offer and will look like an absolute fool on results day.

Someone in the year above me missed their offer and all my teachers have been like "don't do a [insert name]!". Will be so awkward if I do :frown:

Does everyone expect you to make the offer too?

Well you'd have to ask them, but I get the impression they do :smile:

Is anyone else losing the will to live

Absolutely.

Finished exams, but I think the wait for results day is worse. At least during exam period, it was in your hands. Now, I just have to hope that the examiners take pity.

Absolutely. I feel like I've not done enough work at all and I don't want to wait until August to find out. I would like to hibernate.

OK I've worked out that I've almost guaranteed an A* in Further Maths based on the exams I've done so far.

Now remains the issue of getting an A* in Physics or Chemistry :eek:

No fair! Mine haven't even started

I think your best bet is physics in terms of no surprises easy to get with learning

Really? It's the simplest one in terms of content. And majority is words

G484 is ridiculously easy with content but the questions they ask are ridiculous at times with their answers

Physics has more word answers which I pick less marks up on.

Haven't done any yet and already feel like I'm going to miss my offer :frown:

Problem is that last year there was zero expectation, whereas now I'm going through past papers thinking that if I don't get 90% or above I'm screwed.

Just memorise the standard answers.

I've had almost half my exams already :biggrin:

but they've all been Further Maths which I don't have to do that well in thanks to year 12 me (got one maths exam left and I think I can get zero in it and still get an A* if my calculations are correct)
Biology and Chemistry however are a different story... seems to me AQA just put whatever they want in the biology paper and ask you to randomly predict what's on the markscheme :'( Chemistry's a bit better though :smile:

That would work if OCR didn't roll a die to decide what the mark scheme will be each year

And hopefully I will too.

How have your Cambridge exams gone? Are they finished yet?
