Politics and music...
For politics I've just been watching videos on current affairs and trying to update my knowledge about recent events and for music I haven't really revised because most of it is just basic theory

Philosophy and Drama. Just watching loads of crash course videos about philosophy and ethics. Went over a few RE notes and I haven't really prepared for Drama at all :smile:

) I feel so inadequate I'm probs going to fail everything. Does anybody know where I can find what they had for exams last year for these two?

Oh, I thought there would have been one more other than that from 2017. I've done the 2017 papers.
Quite nervous to be honest but I think It'll be fun. How is everyone feeling?
I am afraid I won't be able to talk to anyone because of anxiety

I'm feeling nervous too, to be honest! Currently doing some last minute revision.

It's normal to be a little anxious, but if you are feeling too pressured, you need to stop thinking about it and start thinking about something else. :smile:

Oh, and make sure you get a good night's sleep.

Yes, and I suppose not but I'm not sure.I think that might only be the case if you chose it for interview because I've heard it's structured like an audition but don't take my word for it...

Maths was quite hard, literally never come across those sorts of questions anywhere. German was pretty easy, how did you find them?? :smile:

Yeah, History was easy, but maths was quite hard. Were you able to do the last question for maths?
