Vote between 1-10 on the poll, personally I'm feeling a 7. What subject are you guys (and girls) taking? I'm taking economics, physics, maths and geography. Feel free to post any revision techniques/questions about techniques, mine has to be get hold of every past paper and do them! Make sure you've eaten before your exam and have slept a decent amount.

Good luck all! :h:

German I just really don't know bc there's no way in predicting what could come up other than cramming vocab and praying- will I learn tonnes of vocab in 2 weeks? smh

Geography lmao not prepared for that at all, got a bit complacent throughout the year and was fine getting Bs throughout the year but now RIP me

Biology!!! Started on Us an now getting Bs on past papers!! Doing one a day now and learning as I go, but with the reforms I'm so scared :frown: :frown:

How are most people a 7 lol I don't even know what I'm doing with my life anymore
I'm mixed - I started revising for my A2s at the same time as my AS exams so I have loads of time to revise for those, but for my AS exams I feel much less prepared. I'm trying to leave around two weeks between finishing taking notes and the exam so I can have some time for doing past papers and working on exam technique, but I feel as though there isn't enough time. Psychology (which is one week) is really causing me some grief, because we're doing the new spec so there aren't any past papers. Economics not so much, but I still feel as though I lack in terms of essay writing skills. Biology is allll good though :biggrin:
I want to get ABB, but I don't know if its going to happen :P
