GCSE Revision Chat Thread

Yeah I know a lot of it appears redundant... but the examiners who are looking at your paper will know about the stuff you're talking about - and would give credit for correct statements the exam board hasn't specified in the mark scheme.

What exam boards do you do for subject?

Do you know what it is like living with my memory? People have arguments every day and have disputes with other people and they go home and forget about it within 4 hours - perhaps completely eradicated from their mind forever in 48 hours.

But me? I go home and I remember absolutely everything. I remember every single thing anyone has ever said to me, I remember how they say it, the speed at which they say it, their posture and their tone. I remember everything that happens to me. I go home and I think about, I analyse it from every single possible angle and it tortures me. I remember insults people bestowed to me over 10 years ago in perfect condition - I cannot forget it.

I don't know what is wrong with me, but I don't just 'forget' things like you normal people do. I have 10 years of my life perfectly in my head and I am suffering from it. People say that having a photographic memory is so useful, but I see the world differently to everyone else - because I don't forget your mistakes, your opinions and your attitudes.

If I were to fail my GCSEs, I would never recover from it. So I take full measures. Hopefully other people would develop similarly motivated attitudes - because this is exactly what motivated me. I'm doing it to save people from thinking that they are going up against people who do equally as shallow revision. No. You are up against me in the exams - so you'd all better up your game because I'm taking some of those A*s that you're also fighting for.



This is the first page of the document for P2.7 - 'energy from the nucleus'.

I answered and marked about 100 exam-style questions in chapters B2.2, 2.5 and 2.6...

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but do you think you may have Aspergers' syndrome? You seem so fixed on a singular target - and have an incredible memory. I would suggest you read 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time' by Mark Haddon, from your posts you remind me of the lead character. As I say, I might be way off with my assessment and I hope I don't offend you!

If you mean mine it genuinely didn't mean to come across as rude - having Aspergers is certainly not a bad thing, some of the greatest minds of our times have been on the autistic spectrum. My brother is also autistic - Nick just reminds me of the artist who can look at a landscape once and paint it from memory, who has Aspergers

I know I think my cousin has both...I may be mistaken I know he has one of them. Can you even get both bc I think he has???

I don't believe so - but Aspergers' is on the autistic spectrum so that's probably why you think he has both

I kind of feel bad now aha, but anyhow how much revision have you been doing?

I think it's the other way round - autism's on the asperger spectrum

That is from weeks ago :P

Nah, Aspergers' is on the autistic spectrum, towards the high functioning end of the spectrum.

Opps have you started yet?

We're all the same intelligence here; we are all human beings. There are some people who are disabled, have mental illness and such and such who are perhaps slightly less intellectual - but trust me, we are all on the same level as each other with intellect. People only appear smarter because they're knowledgeable, because they've revised, because they prepare or because they have a good memory. I prepare and I have an amazing memory, but that doesn't make me smart. I wish people would stop putting themselves down thinking that they cannot get 11 A*s because they aren't 'smart enough'... I worked my way up the sets in my school, going from really low to really high.

And sure, 3 months I will certainly be here (after Reading at least).

LOOOOOOOOOOL someone tell me how man just aired those paragraphs. Must have taken him ages to write!

Yes, I've seen the play. I don't see how I am like him at all. I do have a great memory but I am certainly not on the spectrum. I don't have any trouble socialising or anything like that.




I wasn't directly saying it - I was just saying that we're all the same in intellect as humans, but some people with mental illnesses are on a different level and it isn't their fault. I didn't mean it in an offensive way.
