Hi everyone :smile:
Went to the Open Day today and LOVED it, visiting Nottingham next week and need to decide between the two, but at the moment I am 99% sure I'll be firming Warwick very soon!
Has anyone visited Nottingham recently, or deciding between Notts and Warwick as well?

Aww :frown: Mine hasn't been marked externally but my teacher said it's a 'very high A'... good job really seeing as though I'm fast-tracking History - one shot!
What's your investigative piece?


Investigative piece? One was on the significance of Martin Luther King in advancing the civil rights movements in the short term, the other was the role of individuals in general in advancing civils rights compared to other things :smile:

Well mine was 47/50 raw marks when it was sent off, so A, came back C :/ Inflated marking across the country it seems. We'll see though.

Ahh I see.. :frown: I'm sure it'll be okay :smile: Let me know what happens! What exam board are you with?
My first piece was on how far did the people of Nazi Germany consent to what happened and the investigative piece is on 'Was Hitler a 'weak dictator'?' What is your final exam on?

Edexcel...we've had nothing but trouble from them! Unit 1 exam everybody apart from me and another girl who go As got a U :eek:, Unit 2 didn't go brilliantly, though that's fine now as i got 100% in the resit :wink:.

Final exam is historical controversies option D2, will be on 'Saving Europe at a cost?" or something similar - cover WW2, appeasement, controversies over battle of britain / battle of atlantic and such.

What's your exam board?

How did you with results this march, or didn't you have any?

Hii, I was there too :smile:
I was in love with Nottingham and I really wanted to go there, but I got rejected... and after getting rejected from Cambridge, Warwick was my next (and third) choice. Nottingham rejecting me was the best thing that could've happened - Warwick is so much better than Nottingham. The law school is a little larger (physically) than Warwick but the Warwick approach beats Nottingham hands down, plus Warwick is higher in league tables (if you're interested in that kinda thing). Nottingham is a nice campus but not as large as Warwick. I think overall Warwick is more uniform in it's higher offers for courses than Nottingham. And both campuses have a lake! (<-- this impresses me :P ) Nottingham is closer to the city but it's not right near it's centre and obviously Warwick is kinda floating between Coventry and Warwick.
When I got rejected from Notts a friend said to me 'It'll work out for the best.. my sister wanted to do her LLB at York but ended up at her third choice Uni.. when she went for an interview at a top law firm they said 'We wouldn't have looked twice if you'd been to York''. So far she's been right... :smile:

Unit 1 and 2 = great results! Congrats :smile:
My exam board is OCR, exam is on Ireland 1798-1921... very interesting actually.
And ahhhh, um, yeah about those. B (one off an A!) in Law... meaning I need 72/120 for an A overall in June so happy with that! In Politics... 54/100 D :angry: everyone else got As, Bs and Cs.. I was gutted, I revised SO HARD! Same thing happened in Politics in Jan last year but I resat it and got 84/100. I'm resitting it cos it would mean I need like 96/100 in June for an A. Basically I need 142/200 for an A in Politics so it shouldn't be that hard! I don't know what went wrong in that exam but I am getting the paper back to have a look at it, I think it may have been my technique but I'm still fairly confident at getting AAA. :smile: How did you do? :smile:
Where were you sat in the lecture theatre today? Would I have spoken to you?! :P

Sorry to hear about the politics - it must be technique or question misunderstanding more than anything, if you revised loads i can't see how content could have been 'wrong' :smile:.

Nice position to be in for Law at least eh? :biggrin:

I was not on the open day today :colondollar: I went on the 23rd April i believe, first one i could get to :colone:

My results were Politics A (84/100), History unit 2 resit A (100/100) and History Coursework 53/80 (66.25%, high C). Not too shabby

Means in my final exams i need a mid-D in Politics, a B in History (if the coursework was to remain unchanged, that is) and either an A and a C in english or two Bs. Not too much pressure, but a B isn't easy either.

Good luck to us both, i say. :smile: :biggrin:

On the original post I've created a list of everyone who has declared themselves to be a Warwick Law firmer. I think everyone is for the M100 course so I've put everyone under that but if not please let me know and I'll add your Law course on. Also, if you haven't been added on or have firmed somewhere else please let me know so I can amend it accordingly.
Also, if you want to let me know your insurance choice (if you have one) I'll put that in brackets next to your name.

Thanks :smile:
