amazing hand writing
Original post by SaadKaleem
I'm so ashamed of my hand-writing right now 
Original post by Student403
I wouldn't be so sure of that - contends pretty strongly xD

I can't decide whether your writing is depressing or inspiring me 
if only mine was that neat!
if only mine was that neat!you guys are awesome
making neat notes is a guilty pleasure of mine and I'm glad you guys like it
it's pretty bad during exams though
Original post by Zacken
lol you're not fooling me, I know you printed that out 
Apologies, 'o wise one. You've caught me red-handed.

Out of curiosity ayman/zacken/anyoneelsewhowantstoanswer, do you guys listen to music when you study? If so which genre(s)?
I'm a wannabe musician myself
I do occasionally. I prefer atmospheric music/instrumentals like Bonobo, Darius, Ta-ku while studying but my it varies a lot. My tastes range from Jimi Hendrix to Kendrick Lamar.
I've been meaning to ask you what kind of music you listen to!

OMG SOMEONE ELSE WHO KNOWS DARIUS!!!!
Woooo I love that guy I'd be happy to share my playlists which include a few of his! Mine is mostly non lyrical electronic (not typically the dubstep kind - ew) more the chilled out ambient typeOriginal post by aymanzayedmannan
FP2 Practice Paper 1:
Marks attained: 70/75
****. It's always a careless Taylor series mistake that brings my marks down.
Didn't prove de Moivre's neat enough so cut a mark there as well. Otherwise I'm satisfied - getting around this in mid-Feb is a good sign!

This is my all-time favourite song by him. It actually has a lot of history behind it for me because my girlfriend first started talking to me because she saw me listening to the song about 1.5 years back.
My two recent favourites by Darius are "Omeo" and "Espoir". I outplayed "Hot Hands"

Aw that's a pretty nice story
I definitely like the song 
Bonobo is great!I'll check those ones out! My favourites are Road Trip, Velour, Constance, Maliblue and this one which I'm about to overplay XD

Maliblue is amazing, the middle section is just eargasmic
I must give the other 3 a listen. Road trip is lovely too 
EDIT: this song is very 80s. in a good way though! I like it

Yaaay you get me
You're right about Maliblue! Darius is the kind of artist you can slowly rock your head back and forth to

I usually go with making notes for very important stuff on Microsoft Word for (Chem/Phy), my typing is exceptionally okay at about 100-110 wpm.

It's a pain getting diagrams on it though! I keep a separate diary just for the mistakes I've made in physics and chemistry mocks. I look back at it when I revise to see where I went wrong before.
Alright, so I woke up today with an offer from the University of Bath - not bad! They emailed me before asking me to send in some additional documents to evaluate my application further, but it looks like they didn't need it after all.
Got my work cut out for me, been revising Physics Unit 4 and it isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Electromagnetism still goes over my head at times but it looks manageable.
Today's objectives:
Got my work cut out for me, been revising Physics Unit 4 and it isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Electromagnetism still goes over my head at times but it looks manageable.
Today's objectives:
•
Finish off revising Physics Unit 4
•
Do a Chemistry Unit 4 past paper
•
Start S3 Goodness of Fit
•
Look through the last couple of mistakes I've made in the FP2 and FP3 mocks I've given so far
Alright, so I've finished off most of physics other than practising questions from electromagnetism and I've done a chemistry mock.
Chemistry Unit 4 - January 2012:
Marks attained - 75/90
UMS - 108/120 A* (barely got it though!)
To be fair, I marked this very strictly so 77+ was possible but I feel marking science exams as strictly as I can is the way to go. It was quite nice and I'm pretty satisfied with my Chemistry preparation. The biggest sigh of relief I see is that Chemistry and Physics seem to have very kind boundaries in comparison to Maths, so there is some breathing space to make mistakes.
I've bought print-outs of M3 January and June 2012, will probably do one of them tonight!

Very nice!
Me on the other hand, am struggling to make notes for Physics Unit 4, struggling to keep myself motivated

I know how you feel! I usually enjoy it but Unit 4 can be a drag at times.

Pretty easy paper, but M3 is looking solid for summer, I hope
On another note, I wonder where Zacken and 403 are today

Where have you two been today?
and thank you boys
I'm just going through the easy ones is all.I'm eager to see how I did actually. I know I ****ed up F1, but I really need to know exactly how much I got in M2 because it's an A2 module.

After a convo with a friend yesterday, I'm trying to limit my TSR use throughout the day because I'm clearly an addict
Fair enough - I'm sure you two will be pleasantly surprised on the day
