Hey guys!

So; I thought I'd make a thread for all of us who are taking their GCSE exams this year, so we could share which exams we're taking & help/encourage each other with revision - with just over 6 weeks left! :wink:

I'm taking R.E (aqa unit 1 & 6)
Psychology (aqa)
Maths (aqa)
English (IGCSE)
Sociology (aqa)

I'll be taking my sciences next January since I'm in Year 10 and can leave it till then :biggrin:

What RS papers are they? Is unit 1 Morality?

Ah thank you, and yes it is a lot!

And my normal maths GCSE is with Edexcel, but further is a bit more like an iGCSE I guess? It's full name is 'AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Mathematics' so it's a bit like a middle-ground between GCSE and A Level.

They're both pretty easy tbh, but maths is by far my strongest subject :tongue:

I'm expecting an A* for maths and either an A* or maybe even an A^ for further (yes, it even has its own made up grade :s-smilie:

)

The morality paper is a lot easier than the life paper, so it's not bad. Drugs is definitely the easiest topic whereas I find medical ethics to be the hardest. I hate how much you have to write in a short space of time and I struggle to remember enough religious quotes :frown:

the terminology stuff though is always fine
