we're in the middle of mocks right now - which seems a little strange because our finals are in eight weeks.

When are the A2 exams, out of interest? I've been trying to figure this out for a while (but can't be bothered to actually research it). The IB exams are in May, and I don't graduate until June, which means I have a whole month between finishing exams and graduating:eek: :p:

My first exam is on may 24th and my last one is 23rd of june- I depends on what subjects you are doing:smile:

Yes, I've been "ill" several times this term :wink: Although karma has thoroughly plunged its fangs into my ass as I'm actually ill just now when I really can't afford to be! Damn immune system, why I oughta *shakes fist* hope you get all your work done tho!

Gasp!
*runs off to tell Corkie*

I can't believe the SQA scheduled Adv H maths two on the day after the day after Adv H Physics. I mean seriously, how many people doing one of the two won't be doing the other?? :mad:
And we only get a week of study leave before...:frown:

everyone's taking the piss out of me because im doing STEP and it's after everyone else has finished, lol. i really dont know why they had to put it on the exam timetable that they give to everyone - hardly anyone knows what it is but they seem to know it's me who's doing it!

and as for A2s. i think they tend to run from mid May until the end of June, and we get results mid August.

It does leave you with that nice rounded finish on the 30th of June though.

lol, always looking on the bright side! july is completely free then! (apart from going through STEP in my head thinking about all the silly mistakes i did and thinking how stupid i was to miss certain things out of course).
My exam schedul is awful this year. On one day i have two ( 1 hour 30) biology papers and one (3 h) english paper- so i will be doing 6 hours of exams in one day!! I am just hoping i wont be ill that day:eek:

I had two 1 hour 30 french exams and a 3 and a half hour bio exam today - it really sucks. By the end of the bio exam I couldn't even think straight - so glad that it was only a mock! My worst day in the finals is an hour and a half of maths, then three hours 15 of bio... which would be okay except I need good grades in both!

And eight weeks really doesn't seem like long enough to remember everything and get the grades I need for Cambridge...

If you're going to listen to David Starkey talking about the Tudors on Thursday you should come and keep me company!


Wish I was! Love the Tudors... we've got a Nazi module lecture though. 3/6 of our history modules are on the Nazis - which IMO is too much, I know it's important to know the background to the 2nd World War (none of our modules include the war itself!) but it means that I've managed to get through school without learning about the French Revolution or any history beyond Europe... My friend at another school got to do a whole module on Russian history *jealous*. :mad:

Got my exam timetable today - all my friends' exams finish on the 23rd June, but I've got my AEA English on the 29th...:frown: Probably going to Paris with my friends for the first week of July though so I can spend my exam dreaming about that :biggrin:
Uh I just randomly got neg-repped by some guy called Widowmaker saying "idiot. Stole my friend's place at KCL" Uh, thanks.

I don't know how i'm going to fit all I need to know for my exams in my head! Brain is mush just now.

Jesus Laura. Have some decency at least. Can't believe we're all cavorting with such a thief. :p:

My exams are all nice and spaced out... apart from higher physics being two days before adv. maths, but I'm not really counting that as much of an exam. More of a 'fill in the equations' exercise with the nice new data booklets we get:yy:

ooo i was wondering why he was stupid enough to add who he was..:rolleyes:

You should PM him and ask what his problem is, he cant be serious !
I did that... but with a neg rep attached. Y'know, like a post-it. :angel:

Aaaanyhoo. Noooni, your exam timetable sounds horrific! At least you'll get a good sleep afterwards :s (cause that's a great consolation)

I am just going to have to drink every energy drink i find that day! :coffee:

At least in one day i get 3 of my worst exams over and done with...although all my exams are my worst exam :eek:
That really was a bad post to read when, on another forum, I've just read 'instead of jerking off, the boy drinks energy drinks instead'... I didn't see the euphemism myself, but...
what?! I meant like coffee and red bull!! :redface:
