English went well today - nice questions from Edexcel again! :biggrin:

Only been doing stuff for my exams tomorrow...

Geography - Finished past paper and did quizzes
German - Major vocab recap on vocab tester and from textbook

Not too worried about German, hopefully OCR will be feeling kind for Geography! :s-smilie:

German was pretty good - listening wasn't too bad, reading was great! :biggrin:
Geography skills was a bit of a horrible paper but I did as well as I could - at least it only counts for 25%! :s-smilie: Best of all, Geography is done!! :biggrin::biggrin:

Maths tomorrow so...
Completed two predicted papers
Completed 50 page A-A* question booklet
Went over weaknesses

End of exams is so close now! :smile::smile:

I'd say relatively well, had Geography today and messed up the last 8 mark question, gave all the correct information for the case study, but wrote the wrong case study name

That's good! :smile:
That must be so annoying - surely you'll still get some marks though, right?

Maths was one of the best papers I've done - I know I messed up at least one question but it was a good paper! :biggrin:
No exams until Wednesday now...

I was really tired after the exam so I just did a bit of Chemistry...
Started big C3 poster
Tested myself on C2 revision cards

:smile:

If I remember correctly, that was exactly what I thought after my B2 and B3! B2 is always a bit of an odd one I think :smile: Well done! How many exams do you have left now?

At the moment I am making big posters on each section - some people say it's a waste of time making them look pretty but for me, the time it takes doing it is a really good way of making sure that I'm revising everything! I also make mind maps, flashcards and quizzes and I do past papers throughout (2012 to 2015 as well as the specimen papers). It's worked so far - feeling a bit worried about physics though! :s-smilie:
What are you doing for revision for science?

Oh ok :smile:
What i do is i read through the textbook - memorise notes and look at the spec before the exam. I also say things out loud and i test myself. Also past papers :smile:
Update 11/06/16

I've been a little lacking in motivation to be honest! :s-smilie: Even though it's less than a week until exams are over, even that hasn't been enough to make me do more physics revision!! :frown: I didn't have any time in the morning but this is what I did...

Chemistry - Continued making big C3 poster (hopefully I'll finish it tomorrow) and finished specimen paper we started in class
Physics - Completed P3 specimen paper and I got 48/60 which I was very proud of, I was hoping to get above 40! :smile:

It's so weird only having 2 subjects to revise! :tongue:
