Yeah. We've finished all the topics for maths, though, so we're focusing on OCR Additional Maths now.



Did you do the hannah's sweets mock paper this year?:colonhash: smh we can expect more of that this year too.
Wait what? Why do you learn ocr too??
Got 13 exams I think (done 13 already) so quite chilled atm.
Haven't started revision yet - probs start at Easter or sometime around then

Okay, now that is a lot. Do you have lots of days with two exams on the same day?

Luckily, nope :biggrin: The teachers realised that it'd be easy for us to find the answer to the 'Hannah's sweets' question, so we did the November 2015 paper instead. Yeah... the wordy questions are probably the worst.

I dunno, actually. For some reason, we switch exam board when doing ad maths, though I don't think it makes much difference. It's all still just maths.

I seriously wish our school had let us do some of our exams last year... this year would have been a lot less stressful.
doing two hours of revision per day at the moment. Have not clue how many exams I have despite being given an exam timetable that makes no sense

Our school claims that it 'looks better' if all the exams are taken at the end of year 11 smh :colonhash:

Three? How does that work? I thought there was an AM exam and a PM exam slot each day...

Hey guys, I'm in year 12
Just a tip: make sure you experiment with revision techniques. I wish I tried experimenting this time now in year 11: I felt I had found the 'perfect' revision method from some book. Turns out, it was pretty ineffective; I ended up finding my current preferred technique quite late in Easter holidays (enough time though to do well).

If you guys have any questions feel free to quote me! Good luck.

2 of the exams follow each other up immediately, so you do one, the invigilators collect it in, you get your second one and start straight away - we did the same thing in our mocks :/
