I did the maths exam and it was pretty hard (I think I scored around 75 percent on the paper but since I did very well on history I should be ok). Have hope. Their expectations are not too high. Did you have the quadratic equation ( the one with fractions). If so what answer did you get?
Hey how did everyone find the exams

No I don't think so but yh i found it really hard and wow 75%, i genuinely feel like i got at least 20% at the most. But what was on the history, really wanted to do the exam but I did philosophy instead.

History was a source analysis question, with a 20 mark question
I didn't revise as I was under the assumption that they wanted to see our capabilities instead of what we actually know... however I'm unsure if I performed well enough ... I took English and Biology and both were alright, but I'm not sure ....it can go either way.... I think I over analyzed the poem for English and didn't coherntly express my point of view and I messed up the two 3 markers for biology (especially the last one).

Oh I said talked about how external factors had like his upbringing and his like lineage had caused him to be corrupt and how in which he proposes the idea of blamelessness. How no one is fully in the position, not even the judge himself, is fully in the respect of giving him a suitable punishment because no one is faultless and flawless. What did you write? I feel like i really enjoyed the first half of the philosophy paper, was really interesting. Also, what did you write for the statement question " Everyone should have to take responsibilities for their actions"?

Yeah i honestly had no time to revise as i have my mocks in like 3 weeks and gcse art is actually taking over my life. I actually don't think i'll get in but good luck though I'm sure you will probably get i as long as they see you are capable.

I needed more paper for question 1 😁. When I finished the second question I just started the last page provided (so 2 pages). For the second question I wrote 2 large paragraphs with a conclusion.

i wrote about how because Gregory lived in an area where the ancestore of the king (Forgot his name) ruled it would be more useful then someone who didnt live there becasue he may have experienced their tendencies and behaviour but on the other hand how he may have exaggerrated or spread false information in order to portray them in a bad light because he may have been mistreated.I also talked wrote about how he wrote it 90 years later so information may be innacurate (obviously expanded on that).How about you?
